HELP WITH NEW 2007 PROBLEMS - Toyota Yaris Forums

Thanks for the advice. It seems the general consensus is that the paint issue can be fixed at the dealer and that the second problem is actually an intended function. It just seems strange since I've never had this before on other cars and apparently the fuel cutoff function has been around a while.

Is the dealer going to charge me some sort of cost to fix the paint issue? A lot of places use the word "warranty" but still find a way to exclude certain things and make you pay for labor anyway.

Okay, not to beat a dead horse here, but I read the thread mentioned above and it says, "AT can only achieve DFCO with a gear selection lower than D (overDrive), i.e. 3 or L." I know for a fact the the gear selection was D (not 3, 2, or L) and I could feel a slight braking feeling after coasting for several seconds.

I would suggest the car has been scraped during transportation then repainted.

its not cheap paint job, it's just fallout.
the dealership should of removed it beforing delivering it
u should bring it back or wash & claybar (or take to a detailer)

Thanks guys! I ordered a clay bar kit from clay magic 2 days ago so I'll try that when it arrives. I tried calling the dealership's service department and they tried to tell me that what I described with the paint is totally normal. When I tried another Toyota dealership and described the same situation, they told me that it was NOT normal. A repaint was also suggested as a possible culprit. If worse comes to worse, how much of a case do I have? My feelings are that if I buy a NEW car, everything should be in new condition, not repainted or victim of fallout.
