Angry 2011 Scion tC horrible paint issues ?!?!

Has anyone else been having horrible paint problems with the 2011 tC? My paint started showing tiny little "bubbles" completely all over one side less than a month after I bought it and already had to be repainted once
This is going on the second summer I've had the car and it's doing it again! Walker Toyota is saying I need to get it Repainted again and I'm not happy about it! Some new car I purchased!
This is not my problem I don't understand why after a year of arguing Scion or Toyota won't make things right and replace this nightmare! Take it off my hands it's your defective car Scion!

Havent had this problem.

Tell them you want it sanded down, if they paint over the old paint its only going to do it again.

They did already completely sand the entire side of my car down and Repaint it!! They are wanting to do it for the second time! It looks horrible. Walker Toyota completely trashed my car! I had a second opinion from another body shop which I trust and he thinks it is some sort of contaminate on the metal ..... Under the paint..... From the manufacturer.

Default pic of paint problems 2011 tc

Here is a picture of my paint issue. This is a picture of the door, ignore the reflection, but if you look you can notice all the little pin-sized defects, it almost appears as though my car is textured. This extends onto the entire side/ back of the car. The other side of the car is not like this at all.

Yep. Just as I suspected. They got oil or some liquid on the metal before painting it. Idiots. That will cause bubbling everytime. You need to tell them that you know what the problem is, and it's their fault and you need to get it handled in the manner of your discretion.
