Toyota Prius 2007 is a DISASTER.. My Clear Coat Paint is peeling. I had a freak accident(fender bender) with sudden acceleration and bumped into another car once while at a Signal at Watertown Square in MA for which I got fined for being too close while that wasn't the case. The most annoying part of this car is the Headlights that keep going on and off and feels like currently burnt due to Fault HID System installed in this car. Overall this car has been a BIG MISTAKE and staying / buying Toyota Cars is like the blunders of my life. Never again feel like going with Toyota as they seem more PROFIT CENTRIC than Customer Centric. They are least bothered about Safety for Customers and seem more focussed towards Manufacturing with Defective/Cheap substandard parts thereby jeopardizing Consumers/Pedestrians and Fellow Drivers Lives. I feel like I should bump up my Insurance Coverages as Driving a Toyota is a HUGE RISK and could lead to serious Damages if ever involved in Accidents as I would be more prone to it. Also Toyota cares a damn about being responsive and sending Recall campaigns without even bothering to know if the Customers have received these letters. It doesn't hurt to send out letters with acknowledgement to ensure that Toyota has sincerely fulfilled it's responsibility in letting a Customer know about issues with the car and any fixes/recalls that the customer is obligated to respond to. My woes with Toyota has never ended and I feel like Trashing this car than Victimizing some one else just like I became a Victim of this 3rd class Toyota Prius 2007 model that I am driving.

The clear coat started peeling on my light blue 2007 Prius about 6 months ago. It is very expensive to repaint. I have seen and talked to other Prius owners with the same year model and the same color who are having the very same problem. And these owners are only the ones in my small town. I imagine there are many, many others who have this issue but have not reported. I went to the dealer and they didn't help me. Only told me it would be about $1,000 just to paint the top. No guarantee the rest of the car would not peel. I would like to know anyone else who has had this problem and what has been their solution?
