Brand new '07 w/nightmare paint

[tawood]

I picked up my new '07 Silver Tundra Saturday and drove it home, about 80 miles...drove it to work once on Monday 70 miles round trip, then back to work again today(another 35 miles or so) and stopped at a car wash to spray it off on my way home.
As I sprayed the hood, I noticed 2 paint chips and I thought, "Better get some touch up paint." I kept spraying the hood then noticed more paint chips, and more, and more....the more I sprayed, the more paint chips I noticed, until I realized, THE PRESSURE WASHER WAS "CREATING" THE CHIPS!!!!
I stopped washing, but not after making about 30 or 40 1/8" sized chips in the paint. Now I know that a pressure washer should peel poor paint and not chip it, so I'm thinking maybe I was spraying off a crapy touch up job or something.(?)
Called the dealer and they said to bring it in, so 80 miles back to the dealer, with a grand total of about 305 miles on the odometer, and they tell me this is my problem, that I must be tailgating trucks or something!!! Even if I was (I'm not, EVER), they couldn't explain why there were no chips in the grill or chrome, nor why I would get so many in 300 miles. After they pulled me off the ceiling, a service manager said she would fix it by repainting the hood, but they didn't feel they had too...

Anybody want to buy an ugly truck?

I'm not disputing your chips. I noticed what I thought were chips in my hood and was sick. Once I settled down and took a closer look it turned out to be leftover residue/glue from shipping protector paper. Quite a few owners have had the same experience with this residue. Hope you get it resolved to your satisfaction.

Definitely chips...they claim because you can feel them with your finger, that it is from stones and not defective paint.

I would invite the dealer to pressure wash the hood some more and observe for themselves. If they're going to re-paint the hood anyway, I'd want to prove my point to them.

I had the same issue with my paint, except no chips just staight peel, see my previous post on peeling paint. Dealer is taking care of it.

Hey Its still a Tundra, you serious about selling?

[tawood]

When they at first said it was my problem, I asked if the dealer had a pressure washer, and told them to wash it....that was when they decided to cover it (even though they never tried washing it)...

Man That really sucks, I feel for ya. I wouldnt sell it though paint can be fixed it just sucks because nothing as good as a factory paint, I had my front end on my tundra smashed up a couple months ago needless to say turned out good as new, I just get them to try and work something out for your missery
But either way you go best of luck to ya!
