I HAVE BEEN ATTEMPTING TO RESOLVE THE PAINT ISSUE FOR SINCE AUGUST 1999, TOYOTA WILL ONLY REPAINT PART OF THE VEHICLE (HOOD, TRUNK, DECK) AND IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO RECEIVE SATISFACTION FROM THE LOCAL TOYOTA (TORRANCE, CA). I KNOW THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE, BUT I WANTED TO FIND OUT IF THERE WERE ANY OTHER REPORTS OF THIS PROBLEM. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
