2006 Toyota Sienna - excessive paint chipping and rust. Vehicle has been taken to two Toyota dealerships for excessive rust caused by paint chipping. Both dealers claim that stones on roadway are the cause. Rusting began to appear in the rear quarter panel area; directly behind both passenger doors. Toyota placed two clear plastic strips in both these areas (factory installed). The clear plastic strips have done nothing to prevent to chipping and rust. In fact the rust has appeared under the clear plastic strips. Paint has also begun on the right passenger sliding door. Toyota corporation was contacted concerning this problem. Toyota's answer was that is was not their problem. The rusting is now 1/4 of the way up the frame of the van on both sides. Every chip in the paint rusts, regardless of size. This vehicle was bought new. The wheels were replaced in 2008 by Toyota, as a result in a defect in the metal which caused the paint on the wheels to bubble and chip away.
Within 1 year of purchasing vehicle new the wheels started to show signs corrosion in the form of bubbling of the finish. We contacted our local dealer and they said it was due to road salt and me not cleaning them properly and I would have to pay to replace them. We took the vehicle back to the dealer shortly before the warranty ran out and again were told that it was our fault and we would have to pay to do something about it. We took it to the dealer one last time after the warranty and were told since the warranty was up they could do nothing for us. All 4 wheels are now corroded severely. Large chunks of paint routinely fall off during washing. I'm worried about safety at this point and plan to replace the rims at my own expense. I've owned multiple cars with similarly coated alloy rims and have never had this issue before. It wasn't due to me cleaning them properly, it's a manufacturing defect.
