File date	23/03/07
Component	WHEELS:RIM
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Purchased new toyota highlander 2005 model year in july 2005. Vehicle was parked in driveway since. Vehicle only has 23,000 miles. Corrossion developed within 9 months of purchase in these areas: base of antenna, antenna mast, window frames, and aluminum or alloy wheels show bubbling in the surface that are increasing in size and diameter.**ak dealership and toyota were contacted to remedy problems with wheels without success. Dealership repainted corroded windows. Dealership and toyota claim corrosion is due to environment - i have had 2 other vehicles parked in the same location without visible signs of corrossion. I am concern that the continued expansion of the bubbles and corrossion on the wheels will create a safety hazard if it weakens the structural integrity of the whees.
