I am wondering if anyone else has experienced a similar problem on their Prius v? I bought my new 2012 Prius v in Feb. of 2012. I just noticed last week that below the drivers door on there is a large area of what looks to be defective paint...my car is black so we see beneath is grey plastic. This is very disturbing. It truly looks like defective paint and I do not want the spot to get larger. I am also concerned that my SUPER friendly (lol) dealership will not do anything about it. Has anyone else experienced a similar problem? And, shouldn't something like this be covered by warranty? Any help would be appreciated!
Your car is under warranty I would take it in and get it fixed. I have a few scratches on my v but I think my kids did it with their bikes or someone in the parking lot scratched it.
pics? there is a thread on defective paint under the plug in. toyota took care of it. start with your dealer.
If you can provide some pics of the defect it would help us, but paint is covered under warranty so that won't be an issue. How the dealer fixes it is! Will they replace the door, send it to a body shop for professional repainting, or hit it with a spray can of touch up paint like Dodge did with a brand new car I bought 15 years ago!
