Prius (2010-12) :: White Paint Looking Dots On Car

Prius (2010-12) :: Found Small Dots In The Center Windshield

I noticed that there are small dots in the center windshield just above the rear view mirror and wanted to have a tint strip installed to cut some heat and glare from the sun. Is it OK to have the tint over the dots or not? I have seen some priuses around and they just tinted the non dotted part of the windshield between the sides and the dotted center area.

Honda - Accord :: 1999 - White Patches / Paint Peel All Over The Car - Repainting?

My car is showing white patches/paint peel etc. on the roof and parts of the trunk, i guess sign of aging and the weather beating, thus I'm looking to get my whole car re-painted. It runs absolutely fine but since its an 12 yr old car, I'm not looking to spend much. The idea is to keep it with me for another few years until I buy a new car.

Gen 3 Prius (Audio/Electronics) :: Nav Displays Small Dots

The navigation screen on our Gen III displays numerous small dots or "measles." They are white dots with red centers. On main roads they appear regularly along the route. On back roads they appear more randomly. Is this normal? They do not seem to affect the operation of the system.

Prius (2010-12) :: Fading / Fogging White Headlights

This isn't about the condensation build up due to faulty headlights, but the plastic on the headlights seems to be "fogging" white quicker than any other car I've owned. Have this issue on their 2010 Prius? I've only had the car since February of 2010 and already in less than 4 years, the plastic housing is starting to fade white.

Camry :: 2010 LE Hood Paint Flaking / Chipping

Problem with the paint chipping/flaking on the hood of a 2010 LE? I have three spots, about 1/16"-1/8" on my hood that have chipped/flaked and you can see the primer. I don't think that I have been hit by flying debris but that's not to say that it couldn't be the case. I'm thinking of mentioning it to the dealer when I go in for my 20K service just so it is on record should there be some future TSB/recall for a paint problem. Car has been on the road for 18 months.

Elantra MD (2010-15) :: Paint Cracking / Wrinkling And Peeling

Bought the wife's 2013 Elantra GL in March, it is North American built, and has only 4500 kms on it. Last week we noticed a couple cracks in the paint and it looks like the paint it wrinkling and therefore opening up at the crack. Both cracks are located in the exact same position on either side of the car, and the exact same. They are on the plastic bumper cover, where the bumper meets the quarter panel and tailight. Since the paint has migrated back, you can clearly see the black plastic underneath. Sent a text message to my service rep and he said it should be no problem to get it covered under warranty. Now, just need to make the time to get the car into the dealer...

Lexus RX 2010-15 :: Faint Yellow Tint Spots On Paint

The strangest thing has happened to my 450h tailgate, there are two patches of yellow that are popping up. These were not there when I bought it back in June (it is not under warranty/purchased from a small local dealer). Last week I started to notice a faint yellow tint in those spots, but it's like it's getting worse over time.

Elantra MD (2010-15) :: 2013 - Front Bumper Paint Peeling

Wondered if others have had a problem with spots of paint peeling off front bumper? Bought car new and have 42,000 miles, rest of paint is in great shape. It is not terrible, but like keeping car nice, would be nice if covered under warranty. Been this way for awhile, maybe should have taken it in, haven't even mentioned it to Hyundai.

I washed our 2010 Corolla today and was in the process of wiping down the rims when I noticed they all have this funny corrosion looking thing happening to all of them at the center of each rim.

Camry 2012+ :: Colored Dots On The New Tires

Since I'm about to pick up my new (to me) 2012 Camry XLE V6, I noticed some colored dots on the tires and wondered what it means. I'm sure glad I Googled it, because it's good information when time comes to buy and mount new tires. It has to do with ensuring optimal balance of tire to wheel. . [URL]...............
