I purchased my 2008 Tundra in March of 2008. After have the truck for 30 days, I noticed scratches in the paint. I took my truck down to the dealer, and they wanted me to pay $700 to put simoniz on my paint. I was not going to pay if there was a paint problem with my 2008 Tundra. Every time I washed my truck more and more scratches started showing up. I started waxing the paint to remove them, but they keep appearing. I contacted Toyota, and they said to take it to the service manager. I took it to the service manager and he said he could not do anything until the Toyota rep looked at it. I waited until the rep was in town, and I took it to him. The Toyota rep said he could see that my paint was scratching but he did not see that it was a warranty item. He said since the paint is not bubbling, peeling or falling off that it is not a warranty item. Plus he said since my paint is scratching from an external source that Toyota would not warranty it. They would not get a professional to look at it, and would not allow an independent paint professional to look at it. They said I could take it to whomever I wanted but they would not accept whatever they found. Toyota has a paint problem, but they will not do anything about it. I am not alone... we have started a petition on line, but it really will not have any affect unless someone bigger gets involved. friendsite.com/users/petitions/sign/content_petitioned-1_2007%2B+Toyota+Tundra%27S+paint+quality.html2B+Toyota+Tundra%27S+paint+quality.html.
