Chris Nielsen, EVP Product Support and Chief Quality Officer


We, the undersigned, are proud Toyota owners who purchased our vehicles because of Toyota's reputation for quality and reliability. However, Toyota seems to have a severe and consistent problem with the quality and reliability with its paint and clear coat applications.

We are aware that Toyota has authorized a limited recall for vehicles painted in Blizzard Pearl or Superwhite, because there was a recognized defect causing the paint to peel from the vehicle. However, there are similar paint problems with other Toyota colors, including the Barcelona Red on Toyota Tacomas. Those owners should be entitled to the same benefit of having the affected areas repainted at no cost. Toyota should go back to it's paint suppliers and manufacturers to recover the cost because of the defect in their processes that led to the poor quality on our vehicles.

This picture is of a 2018 Barcelona Red Toyota Tacoma taken in 2020 - within 2 years of purchase. The clear coat is separating from the base coat, a condition that was confirmed by the Toyota dealership, and was not caused by any outside factors or misuse by the owner. There are many other examples like it that should cause Toyota to issue a similar offer to other Toyota owners to have their cars repainted to remedy the defects noted.

We look forward to your response.
