Has anyone had a successful buyback due to paint issues? My blue crush limited hybrid max has 350 miles on it, never seen a dirt road and has so many paint chips everywhere. Hundreds of chips. I contacted the dealer but was curious.

Have you reviewed Oregon lemon law?

I saw a blue crush at my 15k checkup, I’ve never seen orange peel so bad! Even from 10-15 feet away it was horrible! I can’t believe it passed inspection! Is there a different pant process for blue crush??

Sorry, I'm not trying to be rude but people like to throw the "claim lemon law" a lot without understanding what that means. It's not a law that protects against any automotive issue. Typically, you can't just claim it falls under the lemon law after 350 miles with no prior repairs. I don't know Oregon lemon law details but, generally speaking, there needs to be a reasonable number of repair attempts before the lemon law is even considered. And in some states, it also requires a "substantial defect" that impairs the vehicle's use or safety, which this is not.

This very well may be a manufacturing defect but it will be extremely difficult to prove it qualifies for the lemon law.

Good luck!

I would request a buyback from Toyota corporate.

My 2024 Solar Octane paint application is flawless from the factory.
