NHTSA Complaint #10245242 — 2008 TOYOTA TUNDRA

PAINT ON 2008 TUNDRA CREWMAX IS TERRIBLE QUALITY. "THIS IS MY FIRST NEW VEHICLE PURCHASE AND I AM FOR THE MOST PART VERY HAPPY WITH MY 08 PYRITE MICA CREWMAX PURCHASE. MY ONLY PROBLEM WITH THIS TRUCK IS YOU GOT IT, THE PAINT JOB. DON'T GET ME WRONG ITS A BEAUTIFUL COLOR, BUT MAN IS THIS PAINT FRAGILE. I HAVE 408 MILES ON THIS TRUCK AND HAVE LEANED AGAINST IT A FEW TIMES LOADING AND UNLOADING ITEMS FROM THE SIDE AND HAVE SCRATCHES THAT ARE VERY NOTICEABLE FROM BRUSHING AGAINST THE SIDE WITH BLUE JEANS. FOR A TRUCK WITH A 44,000 MSRP, YOU WOULD THINK IT WOULD HAVE A BETTER QUALITY PAINT JOB THAN THIS, THIS IS BS. MY 98 CHEVY ORIGINAL PAINT IS MUCH TOUGHER THAN THIS. TOYOTA IS GOING HAVE TO DO BETTER THAN THIS IF THEY EXPECT A REPEAT PURCHASE FROM ME. I REALIZE CERTAIN CHEMICALS HAVE BEEN BANNED FROM THE PAINTING PROCESS IN THE STATES, BUT WE'VE GOT TO DO BETTER WITH TODAY'S TECHNOLOGY THIS SHOULDN'T BE HAPPENING." *TR
