6 to 7 months ago, my son purchased a NEW Hilux ute for his business which he is starting next week.
Since purchasing it has been parked in my yard each day and he only takes it out on Saturday afternoons and Sundays as he does not want to park it at his place of work.
Today he took it to be professionally cleaned and washed with the chemicals provided by Toyota and was informed of rust spot appearing through the paint. On further examination, I found a very bad rust spot on the roof just above the door, various rust spots coming through the paintwork around the vehicle and the chassis actually has flaking rust spot, plus others.
He took it to Toyota and the lady was very nasty to him saying that he should have has rust prevention treatment, This is rubbish as I have had my vehicle fro over 12 years, no rust treatment and no rust to date.
Has anyone else found this? If you have a new Hilux?
Please check your vehicle.
