hhmmm... after I've read all the post here, I wonder also why is that it is only on red color cars? when this peeling off start? I have a friend here using yaris sedan color red and since he bought it 6 months ago his paint is still amazing even after several driving w/ heavy sandstorm.

Somebody could jump in and correct me, but I believe that the colors used on the sedans are different from the colors on the hatchback (aren't the sedans and the hatchbacks assembled in different factories in Japan?). Maybe that's why your friend's red sedan is holding up nicely....the sedan has a different color of red than the OP's, who has a hatchback. So, I guess the lesson here is, don't get a red hatchback?

I would think that defective paint will be covered in the warranty.
I guess I am luck because some kid hit my front right fender in his mom's excursion so i got that repaired and they had to repaint the front bumper as well so i might not run into this and if i do i take it to the place that painted my car and they will fix it. back the to the last question, go and ask is the best way to find out for sure but it should be. might even count as part of the lemon law. |

I had the same problem wth the front bumper lip on my Celica. Fortunately, it was still under warranty.
The problem seems to be as said.... just improper prepping of the pastic part and it not unheard of. My co-worker had the same type of problem with a new Nissan. I would contact Toyta coporate and see what they say as it was obvoiusly defective from day one. In my case, the dealer simply replaced it with another pre painted new lip as the car was only a few monts old. |

Whew! I'm not alone... I had been having alot of white chips show up on my red '06 Yaris on my car bumper and it has been getting progressively worse over the last few months but then today I took it into the car wash- DIY wand wash and poof - it started peeling away like a banana skin! But only on the bumper. - My bumper looks like yours REM! I purchased it brand new from the dealership showroom floor. Never had any fender benders in the front although I have had someones clutch release and tap my rear bumper - no damage there and paint back there is all intact. I'll be calling the dealership shortly...when I purchased the car I even had an additional paint protection coat done with a lifetime warranty of course the fine print says there should be an annual inspection but since I have all my maintenance done there... I will see what they say.
