I thought Toyota had taken care of the RUST BUCKET problem with their vehicles, but I guess I was wrong. I was burned with an '16 p/u - shame on me for trying again.

I bought this car brand new in August 2016 with full excitement considered it my dream car. 3 months later I noticed a couple of brown spots on face of passenger door. I cleaned it thought a dirt. A week ago I noticed there are plenty of these spots on sides of car and lift gate. I took it to the dealership in Oakvile Ontario. The service manager said this is a dust can be polished. I told this is a rust, however he insisted this is a dust and he reported it to Toyota Canada as a dust and not rust. The nature of these spots they can be cleaned but they come back later becuase the root forb the rust still there. Unfortunately when I reported it myself to Toyota Canada they believe what the dealership saying. Fixing this problem by repainting will cause the car loose its value. It is Toyota factory problem to fix it in away that does not cause a loose to car value. This rust will keep growing and cause loose its value. The only solution Toyota must offer is replacing the car with another one with no paint defect. This is a big quality issue however it looks Toyota wouldn't be responsible on satisfying costumers. I am extremely unhappy and this is my third Toyota and will be the last because simply I can see I lost my money in this car that cost me almost $50k.
