    I have purchased 6 toyota vehicles in my lifetime. Never had any paint or clear coat issues with any except my 2014 4 runner limited. The clear coat is chipping off making the vehicle look worn out. I park it in the same place as my 2010 Tundra which has perfect coat and it’s 12 years old.
    I reached out to Toyota and they have declined to address the issue.
    Anyone with the same clear coat problem out there? Any solutions? 3 body shops quoted around $8550 to fix. Outrageous!!

    One agent told me they had to correct the issues on the same year and model but different color.

    White paint issue in known. May be open a service request on Toyota owners contact up form. Toyota corp should sent you instructions you what to do. Hopefully $0 out of pocket fix.

    Here's the service bulletin issued in 2019.

    Thanks for the help.

    My 4 runner is blue color. They ran my vin number and stated it’s out of warranty. No help available. Very disappointed specially after buying 6 of their vehicles.
