Reported peeling paint problem to Rudy Luthers Toyota. Service manager had numerous reasons of paint peeling cause non of which were creditable. i.e. peeling area had been repainted, Driver damage caused paint to peel, etc. In short just a lot of "Flim Flam". Paint peeling is clearly a factory defect that Toyota will not warranty.

Update from Mar 6, 2017: The reason it happens is Toyota was switching over to more environmentally friendly paints -- paints with fewer volatile organic compounds.The problem was, they didn't really know what they were doing with the new paints yet, and some of the paint jobs failed -- catastrophically. Thus the paint peeling on some parts of the car.

The water base paint will not hold up to normal driving on the front end of these cars. I believe bug hits will take off the paint. The paint on the front of my 2013 Avalon is in worse condition than the 1999 Avalon I trade in.
