1 Paint problem

Failure Date: 02/06/2020

Toyota Rav4 with the blizzard white paint have a paint peeling problem which can quickly become a safety issue when it peels off the engine hood and flies up on the windshield blocking your field of vision on I-84 at 90ft/sec. Toyota will only paint parts of the car as they peel from the primer but they should paint the entire car since the paint and primer are the same on the entire car. They did some bogus tests and told me the rest of car was okay. I picked the car up on February 6 and one week later the passenger car door started to peel. I have another appointment on March 9 to paint the passenger side door. The work is being done at greentree Toyota in danbury,CT. Toyota is procrastinating hoping these problems will disappear.

4 Paint problem

Failure Date: 02/11/2017

2/20/2017 2013 Toyota Rav4 limited pear white. One week age on a Saturday I was wetting my SUV with a garden hose while it was parked and the engine off before washing and when I got to the passenger door on drivers side paint started flaking off. I stopped spraying at that time and I was left with a 3 inch diameter area that has no paint left, but a gray base. I did report this to lake charles Toyota in louisiana and was told since the factory warranty has ended and I have 60,000 miles, that Toyota would not cover, to have it repaired. I questioned them about my �bumper to bumper� extended warranty and it was left up to the manager of the service department and he said the extended warranty would not cover it. This is the worst treatment I have ever received from them. The service starting going downhill about two years ago at lc Toyota. I have referred several people there for purchase of their new vehicle. But will only give negative reviews on them now. Melinda d. In louisiana.

5 Paint problem

Failure Date: 06/01/2016

Paint peeling off my car. Toyota stated over a year ago that they would repai nt the affected area but have not done so yet.

6 Paint problem

Failure Date: 12/01/2014

"blizzard pearl bisque" paint peeling between the windshield and the sunroof. Paint is coming off in large pieces the size of silver dollars. Paint "blisters" first then just falls off the roof of the car. This problem has been there for the better part of the year and seems to have nothing to do with the car being stationary, in motion - or the environment. It has been parked in the same places that my prior Toyotas have been parked, and this problem has never occurred before. My wife and I have seen this problem, with this color paint on other Rav4s, prius, and Lexus models.
