I am so ticked about this issue! I took it to my local dealer last week and they said Toyota denied it! I'm on the phone with Toyota as I type this. They better make it right! I'll go back to Honda's or another truck manufacturer other than Toyota.Same as above for a 2017 Tacoma. Paint color is ultra white and it's coming off at the bottom and rear of all four doors, left & right quarter panels, inside and edges of hood and roof line. One Dealer sent pictures to Corporate, but after 3 months of not hearing a word I called myself and said other Toyota and Lexus models in Canada and United States with ultra white are covered, but not tbe Tacoma. They also told me I could have it painted myself and keep the receipt. Not fot $7k!
I have been a Toyota owner for 35 years and was hoping Toyota would do the right thing and correct their paint issue no matter what model.
I'm having the same issue. No recall offer extended and I'm looking at another winter's worth of stress on my failing paint job. I just signed a change.org petition about this, but has anyone heard of a class action lawsuit to this end?I have a 2017 Tacoma with peeling white paint around the window on both rear doors. I parked next to another Tacoma that looked like about the same year and it was peeling in exactly the same spot. People all over the internet are complaining about peeling in exactly the same spot, yet Toyota does nothing. What's worse, this started during my extended warranty period and Toyota called it "cosmetic" and said it was not covered. We really need a class action suit on this!
After adding my comments here on Saturday and learning how to go about getting the paint job on my 2008 pearl white RAV4 looked at, today I took my car to Blood Toyota Geelong who, I'm pleased to say, were very responsive. They didn't hesitate to inspect my car and fully test / document as they are required.
After that was completed, Blood Toyota asked me to drive down the road to an accredited panel shop to get a quote on affected panels.
Once Blood Toyota Geelong receive the quote, they submit their report to Toyota Head Office. I need to provide proof of registration/ownership and dealership where I purchased the car. My car's only had one owner - me - and I bought it new from Blood Toyota Geelong so it's not complicated!
Now I wait to see whether Toyota determines my claim will be accepted.
Footnote: I mentioned in my earlier threat that I've only used accredited Toyota Dealerships for regular service of my RAV4. And I do a lot of kms so I get a service 2-6 times a year. In that time, Service teams didn't hesitate to pull me up on a faulty this or that, and recommend a remedy to repair. And yet, not ONE Toyota Dealership - and there were several across Vic and NSW in my travels - brought to my attention (1) the state of my car's peeling paint in light of (2) a RECALL in effect for my make, model and pearl white paint.
