| Description of the problem | S10 direct reply- letter to the secretary from re support in his efforts to get resolution with toyota *tgw 2008 toyota camry. The consumer stated he noticed just after christmas there was paint peeling off the rear bumper. He took the vehicle to a certified auto body shop and was informed the paint repair was poorly done and that most likely the paint shop that was used for the repair didn't use enough uv protection in the paint and the base paint was probably inferior quality. The auto body shop stated, if the uv paint protection was not used in sufficient quantity and quality in a proper manner that after 2 or 3 months in the sun, the color would change. *jb updated congressional letter 10/27/10. *jb updated congressional letter 10/29/10*jb |
