damage from factory

[91drggndime]

My gf ended up getting pushed off to the shoulder of a road one night and hitting some ice and put a dent in the front bumper. Not a big deal, i can push it out with ease. Well, i came out of the house about 3 weeks later to see a long indention on the passenger side rocker panel. I go wash the car and get on my hands and knees. The pinch weld for the rocker isnt bent, damaged, crushed, the rocker isnt pushd up or anything, but from mid front door to the rear door, the rocker is pushed in.. nothing creased like a hit, but a nice rounded indention. the paint has no scuffs, no chips, no markings, nothing. The paint is perfect in the area. Where the indention begins, its nicely rolled into the area.

You think toyota will try to fast track their ass out of giving us a new car for it? I just noticed it this past week and didnt take it in b/c we were leaving in 2 days for oklahoma.

there is no internal damage and i highlight doubt hitting a piece of ice doing 30 that pushed in a hollow piece of the bumper, buckled the structual piece such as a rocker, so nicely it didnt even CREASE it, it has a smooth rolled indention.

your out of luck, its been atleast 3 weeks, and who knows how long since you picked up the car, if it was a factory flaw you/her should have picked this up on the final inspection, the day you picked up the car.
