I keep hearin the same thing from so many people,
I know that the paint just sucks for scions, but how do you know if it's a problem that
you have to take up with the dealership. I've had a couple of cars in the past and
never really took care of them but I also baby my tc and it just gets worse .In a couple of months I might have to just re-paint the front end. I would hate to think that the same thing is going to happen to me.

taking it in,and having the dealer look at it wont hurt.

Another thing... new cars sometimes get painted at the dealer up to a small amount of damage caused by transport. Sometimes the paint work is good... sometimes not. I think that's probably the cause of your problem. Its not very common for the factory to forget to put adhesion promotor on the bumper.

Its possible that the Scion's may seem to hagve higher rate of paint issues since they have a higher rate of possiblity of paint problems sue to their long overseas journey.

if any damage was done during transport,it would be disclosed to the customer at time of purchase
