THE PAINT ON THE ROOF IS COMING OFF. I RESEARCHED IT ONLINE, AND OTHER WHITE RAV4 OWNERS HAVE THE EXACT ISSUE. I JUST COMMUNICATED WITH A LOCAL TOYATA DEALER AND TOYOTA SAYS IT WOULD COVER 80% OF THE REPAIR COST (PART ONLY, NOT TAX). I DON'T THINK THIS IS RIGHT. IF THIS IS THE PAINT DEFECT, WHY WOULD I HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR?

I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED. THE CAR WAS RPAIRED FOR A FLOOR MAT PROBLEM, BUT NOT THE MOTOR JUMP. I SOLD THE CAR BECAUSE THE CAR WAS IN 2015 BECAUSE IT HAD A SECOND MAJOR PROBLEM WITH POOR CONTROL OF BACKEND.
