I have a black cherry FJ Cruiser with paint chipping off in various places, especially along the door edges and around the windshield. There are also chips on the hood, rear sides, and back door. When I took the vehicle in to Victory Toyota of Canton, they told me it was stone chips due to the design of the vehicle. When I asked about the chips on the edge of the door, which certainly weren't stone chips, they responded...ready for this?... That it was from my bracelets, or my coat zipper rubbing against the door!!!! Can you imagine? I was/am appalled. They handed me a bottle of touch up paint which I handed back to them and insisted they apply. This, of course, looked like a cheap nail polish cover-up and is already chipped off in most places. What a joke.

toyota is using soft paint on the FJ Cruisers, this was told to me by the dealar. the body shop guy told me he thought toyota should make good on a repaint of my truck .toyota rep told me the paint chiping off is not there problem and that it was all mine to deal with. nice so i paid 30,000 for my fj and now i get to pay to repaint before it is even 4 years old lucky me. so if i dont repaint my fj it will soon turn in to a big ball of rust were the paint has chiped off it is down to the metal and all ready starting to rust.this truck sits most of the time inside of my garge. my wife is the main driver she is disabled and only gos out when she needs to. i can not beleave toyota will not make good on this problem I WILL NEVER BUY A TOYOTA AGAIN they are no better then the big three.
