I am reporting a serious paint peeling and delamination issue on my 2006 Lexus GX470, painted in Blizzard Pearl (paint code 070). The clear coat and base coat are separating from the body, especially on the hood, roof, and other exposed panels. The paint is flaking off in large sections and continues to deteriorate.

After removing the third row seating mechanism, it was noticed that significant rust has occured at the forward mounting point for the hinge device around the welds and heat affected zone of the mounting bracket. No rust was visible from the wheel well due to the textured undercoating until the undercoating was removed. Rust had penetrated through the body and seat mount, resulting in a potentially unsafe condition for third row passengers.

I PURCHASED A 2006 GX470 LEXUS SUV BECAUSE OF SAFETY RATINGS. WITHIN A FEW MONTHS THE PAINT PEELS OFF EVERYWHERE. IT STARTED ON THE TOP THEN ON THE OUTSIDE WINDOW SEALS NOT THE HOOD PAINT IS PEELING AWAY. I WAS TOLD IT WAS A SHOTTY PAINT JOB BY THE MANUFACTURER. WHY ARE THEY NOT RECALLING THESE VEHICLES AND FIXING THE PAINT PEELING? I CAN NOT GET EXTENDED WARRANTY TO COVER THE PAINT. MANY OTHER OWNERS OF THE SAME VEHICLE ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME THING. FORUM WHERE MANY OWNERS OF THE 2006-2007 HAVE THE EXACT SAME DEFECT IN PAINT/PRIMER. AND, LEXUS DID RECALL AND OFFER TO REPAINT FIX 2008 AND HIGHER BUT NOT 2006 OR 07. OWNERS ARE DRIVING AROUND IN A CAR WITH PAINT CHIPPING DAILY!
