| Description of the problem | After about 45 days i started noticing scratches all over my truck. It had never been off road and had only been hand washed by the dealership. Toyota corp. And the dealership were of absolutely no help. Yesterday i bumped(and i mean barely bumped) the hood with the water hose while washing it, and it took the paint off all the way down to the metal! Unbelievable! A $40,000 truck that is ruined! I will have to invest thousands of dollars for a new paint job. |
