Paint on roof, hood, and trunk had rapidly rusted over the past 3-4 years. Car was bought new in 2005 in California but I've lived in louisiana for 8. 5 years (as of Jan 2018).

I bought my car in 2005 brand new zero mileages on it. It is Toyota Corolla 2005. My original color of the car hood is coming out. It starts coming off. I think it had paint defect. Paint is coming off and the cart hood has been rough at all sides. The original color is gray and now looks at scrapping at all the car hood. I don't know what do to because it looks ugly and I never wanted my car to be like this. The vehicle it's in normal function and always has been in house carport.

5 Paint problem

Failure Date: 01/18/2005

Rpm's increase when my foot is on the brake and the force of the rpm increase decompresses the brake pedal and my foot slips of the brake pedal. I have not experienced an accident due to this but it worries me that it may. This happens on a daily basis. I heard this may be normal but now reading that other people experienced this, I plan to get it checked. Aside from this, there is dash board rattling, seal issue with windows because they whistle and also paint flakes off from a small ding.
