paint damage paint damage

I've had not problems until one day I went to my car after work and noticed a gold patch by the hood. I thought something had blown on it. I checked closer and noticed it was the undercoat of the blue paint color. When I got home my husband came out and noticed the paint was peeling around all the openings of the car (doors, trunk hood), the spot on the top of the hood is the most noticeable. I have two years left to pay on this car and thought it would carry me through after retirement. Who wants to pay on a car that looks like crap??

I took it to the dealer (I still have all my maintenance done there even though out of warranty). I reported the problem. The manager took pictures and filed a complaint. He said they'd had problems with the white corollas not colored ones. He told me that "hopefully there would be a recall after first of the year"

I just want to know if this is happening to other people and what can be done.

Paint peeling around hood, roof, and inside of rear door jams. The Toyota dealership said they've seen the issue with multiple cars in the same color, and basically told me to get f**.

paint damage

paint damage behind tail-light

It looks like a factory problem. I'll have it diagnostic on satudard x/15/16. It looks like if the rear light was overpressed during the assambly in the factory resulting in paint damage. Even thought its small damage, Im scare about the long time effect, rust etc. plus its a brand new car. I don't think Ill buy a toyota again. 2nd issued in a brand new car . My wife rav4 2014 have gone to guaranteed twice already.
