1 Paint problem

Failure Date: 02/01/2017

I purchased new from Toyota of warrenton, va in 2010. My car developed a paint peeling problem last winter. I have been told by an auto paint company that it is due to manufacturer malfunction. I have attempted to contact Toyota of north America; I filed a complaint, met with my local dealer and discovered that corporate gives the dealer the power to delete the claim, preventing me from dealing directly with the manufacturer. In effect, I have no recourse.

2 Paint problem

Failure Date: 06/01/2016

Paint on roof is chipping off. I have seen numerous complaints regarding this problem on both this and other websites, especially related to white vehicles. Is anything going to be done about this?.

3 Paint problem

Failure Date: 10/01/2015

The paint on the roof is coming off. I researched it online, and other white Rav4 owners have the exact issue. I just communicated with a local toyata dealer and Toyota says it would cover 80% of the repair cost (part only, not tax). I don't think this is right. If this is the paint defect, why would I have to pay for this repair?.

4 Paint problem

Failure Date: 01/17/2013

The part between the roof and front wind shield is corroded so bad. Everybody asked what happened. I took the car to the dealership in savannah, GA. , charleston and lugoff, SC. , neither one of the dealerships cared. They passed it off as nothing. However, it is a problem with the paint. The paint is peeling all over the car. I will upload a picture of the main part that peeling.
