| The paint on my vehicle is highly vulnerable to chipping and peeling. the base seems very thin and there are hundreds of chips in the paint, causing the vehicle to rust. it seems to be a very common problem. i live in the midwest and we don't use sand when it snows, so it is not road conditions, just everyday driving that is causing the problem. *jb | |||

| This is not really a safety defect as it is just a problem with the paint on my brand new vehicle. i own a 2005 toyota tacoma access cab with the offroad package and only 2 months after i bought the vehicle i noticed some severe paint chipping on my vehicle. after 4 months i am still no further ahead with the problem then what i was at the beginning. | |||
