What owners report

Structure

There was a recall for the paint on this vehicle and over the past 4 years the paint has peeled off exposing under the clear coat putting the body of the vehicle at risk for futher rust and damage. when contacting the manufacturer they agreed that the paint was recalled and they were fixing vehicles but i missed the deadline.

Seat Belts,Back Over Prevention

Drivers seat belt won’t lock and back up cam intermittently does not activate when shifted into reverse mode.

Structure

I own a 2015 toyota corolla with super white paint. the vehicle has experienced widespread paint peeling and delamination consistent with toyota's known super white paint defect. the paint is peeling in multiple locations across the vehicle, including along numerous body panel edges and on the exterior surface of the trunk. the condition has continued to worsen and now affects a substantial portion of the vehicle. i

Unknown Or Other

I purchased a vehicle that was represented as having approximately 92,000 miles. i have since discovered the actual mileage is approximately 260,000 miles, which indicates odometer tampering. this is a violation of both federal and california law. i have documentation supporting this claim.
