Paints are chipping off from the interior of the car to the exterior of the car . It's doors and trucks. I filed my 1st complaint with Toyota back in 2023. I filed another complaint on 6/25/2 5 and looks like I'm the only one with a blue Corolla that have paints chipping off from doors to trunk. I just want to make sure that Toyota is aware of this paint issue on their blue Corolla SE 4 door sedan. I know for sure Toyota had a paint issue with their white Toyota Corolla. I take my car to Toyota dealer for all my maintenance. Also, I am loyal Toyota customer. I've been purchasing their vehicle since 2005 with my 1st mini Van (Sienna). I just hope Toyota values their loyal customer.

Potential Consequences:
2017 Toyota Corolla SE was bought new. Original Blizzard Pearl paint under recall program. Paint has peeled in "spots" all over car. Toyota fixed "spots" in August 2021, then again in June 2024. Since then, more spots have appeared. Toyota in Mt. Vernon, IL refuses to fix "spots" anymore since Nov 2024. Toyota has paint peeling recall program for 2009-2018 Toyota Corolla which was extended up to 14 years to address the peeling issue which was attributed to a manufacturing defect. The car should have been repainted from the beginning. Why would they think the paint would stop peeling after fixing spots? I have contacted Toyota Customer Experience Center many times. They said they go by what NHTSA tells them. They gave me your number and I was instructed to fill this form out. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have attached a pic of peeling above license plate. There are more pics of peeling which I can provide if need be. Also, there is a pic of the Toyota paint peeling recall program. Mileage is 67,000. Thank you for your time.

Defect Description:
UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Potential Consequences:
I was t-boned by a driver on 5/16/2023. Since this occurred, my vehicle has been repaired. However I have a shake and hoovering noise coming from the front of the vehicle. It has been aligned, tires have been rotated, and suspension has been checked. My mechanic can find no fault. However he has stated that he can feel the shake and can hear the noise. He also says it pulls to the left really hard when accelerating. These issues were not present before my accident. Also my seatbelts on my driver and passenger side were replaced shortly after my accident. I felt like this wasn't checked by the body shop.

STRUCTURE:BODY
Potential Consequences:
To whom it may concern, I would like to report that my vehicle's paint has been peeling off since June 2018. The vehicle was purchased on 8/11/17, and I have continuously reported the paint problem to no avail from the dealership or manufacturer. As a matter of fact, in February 2019, the vehicle was serviced to due bubbles developing around the windshield, and I again reported the paint issues and received no resolution to my problem. Hence, I would like to know whether my case is an isolated one or just like the white paint settlement, Toyota has deceived some of its customers that chose blue paint in this model (Corolla).

POWER TRAIN
Potential Consequences:
My college son was driving down from Orlando, and when he got here I took his/my car to my mechanic because the AC was not cold. I felt a hard shift when I put it in reverse, and when I started to drive the car to the mechanic, it didn’t feel right. They fixed my AC and I asked him to check the car as I was worried it did not feel safe to drive. They changed all the filters and did a complete transmission flush even though it was not due for 60,000 miles and there is less than 54,000 miles on this vehicle. They changed all the filters and upon doing the transmission flush my mechanic of 15 years found chunks of metal and shavings in the transmission pan. He took pics & told me my transmission was bad but it was an internal defect and I needed to take it to Toyota as there was no damage on the outside of my transmission, it’s pan, gasket or filter and there were no signs of any leak. He told me these CVT transmissions were a problem and there were a lot of ones not recalled, but there was a Special Service Campaign JSD for 1.3 million of these transmissions from Toyota. Toyota said my Vin number was not part of this Special Service Campaign JSD but I found there were also 3400 recalls on the CVT transmissions from the Toyota hatchback. Toyota told me because my car was already out of warranty, even if it was a manufacturing defect, they were not responsible. I take very good care of my cars. I have two Toyota Corollas, both 2017 and now I am very concerned about the other one. I’ve been on a lot of Toyota forums and it seems there are so many other Toyota Corollas that don’t have many miles on them and all of a sudden their transmission has an internal defect. I brought it to the dealership and they simply said it needed to be replaced, that it was hard shifting when going into reverse and banging gears intermediately. They told me if I wanted to know what the defect was I would have to pay at least 15 hrs of labor to start. My son could have been killed driving it

Potential Consequences:
Twice within one month my Corolla experienced Sudden Unintended Acceleration. The first time I had just entered the parking lot of my local Star Market. I stopped for a man in the crosswalk and was just about to ease off the break when I saw a woman approaching the crosswalk so I stayed on my break. Suddenty the car revved up and went forward. I think it was so loud the woman heard it and stopped. My car returned to normal operation within maybe five seconds and as I drove by the woman, I yelled there was something wrong. Went home and scheduled an appointment with Toyota. It took a few days for them to check my car. I think this type of issue brings in the next level up of repair. I was told they went over everything and could find nothing wrong. My car was safe to drive. I drove it for exactly one month and it did the same thing. This time I was inching my way into a parking space that was up against a wall. Nowhere near the gas. I was maybe a couple of feet from the wall when the car accelerated again. The engine really revved up again and I went into the wall. The car was drivable, and I got it right back to Toyota. It is still sitting there pending investigation. I am waiting to hear from someone from their liability department. I'm not sure what will happen, but I know I will not drive that car again. My biggest concern is that Toyota will claim I'm elderly and hit the gas, not the brake. That is not what happened.

Potential Consequences:
On the morning of July 21st the vehicle was parked in the garage the night before when all of the sudden our neighbors were yelling at my wife and I to exit the house because they saw fire flames and black smoke coming out of the garage. Everything in that garage and part of the house was destroyed. After it was safe to enter the house we noticed the damage was concentrated where the Toyota was parked, the explosion from the engine caused the hood to almost touch the windshield. Half the engine was gone.
