Description of the problem | I purchased a 2006 gx470 lexus suv because of safety ratings. Within a few months the paint peels off everywhere. It started on the top then on the outside window seals not the hood paint is peeling away. I was told it was a shotty paint job by the manufacturer. Why are they not recalling these vehicles and fixing the paint peeling? I can not get extended warranty to cover the paint. Many other owners of the same vehicle are experiencing the same thing. Forum where many owners of the 2006-2007 have the exact same defect in paint/primer. And, lexus did recall and offer to repaint fix 2008 and higher but not 2006 or 07. Owners are driving around in a car with paint chipping daily! |
