    Toyota is having a problem with paint bubbling and my dealership in Melbourne Fl is blowing me off the body shop manager says my truck was repainted meter maid Baker tried to convince me my truck was in an accident, which makes him a liar and Toyota won’t back warranty my truck is a 2018 Tacoma and the paint is bubbling on the hood and passenger door and the cab

    Ask to see a regional manager or call 1-800 Toyota. I had paint issues in the past (not 3Gen) and this technique worked and Toyota took care of it.
    Keep good records of conversations etc. Try to be as calm yet firm as you can. I just say that's not acceptable I want to escalate the issue. Thank you.
    Welcome to TW. Hope it works out for you.
