| Description of the problem | I purchased new from toyota of warrenton, va in 2010. My car developed a paint peeling problem last winter. I have been told by an auto paint company that it is due to manufacturer malfunction. I have attempted to contact toyota of north america; i filed a complaint, met with my local dealer and discovered that corporate gives the dealer the power to delete the claim, preventing me from dealing directly with the manufacturer. In effect, i have no recourse. |
