Buyback due to paint issues?

[dholmq]

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 have.

I have.

Then I’d say go for it. Someone has to be first.

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.

So is the Terra paint on my truck. It is strange that 4th gen paint quality varies so much, with some colors being worse than others.

The only paint issue I've had with my black SR5 was a pretty deep scratch in the front left fender that we found when doing the walkaround with the salesman. They scheduled me in a week later and repainted the fender at no charge.

Makes me wonder about warranty times on paint… mine is Supersonic Red and has gathered a fair number of chips. I bought touch-up which should have been included. A couple of chips are to the metal. Hmmm.
