Problems with 2010 Toyota RAV4 STRUCTURE

I purchased new from toyota of warrenton, va in 2010. my car developed a paint peeling problem last winter. i have been told by an auto paint company that it is due to manufacturer malfunction. i have attempted to contact toyota of north america; i filed a complaint, met with my local dealer and discovered that corporate gives the dealer the power to delete the claim, preventing me from dealing directly with the manufacturer. in effect, i have no recourse.

Paint on roof is chipping off. i have seen numerous complaints regarding this problem on both this and other websites, especially related to white vehicles. is anything going to be done about this?

The paint on the roof is coming off. i researched it online, and other white rav4 owners have the exact issue. i just communicated with a local toyata dealer and toyota says it would cover 80% of the repair cost (part only, not tax). i don't think this is right. if this is the paint defect, why would i have to pay for this repair?

When my vehicle was stopped i was rear ended at about 15 mph. airbags did not deploy but all bag lights illuminated.

after taking two short 90 degree turns at a parking floor (4th floor), the vehicle was half way in the parking slot when it suddenly picked up speed and crashed into wire cables and a concrete post. this type of speed had happened twice in the past within three months of purchasing the car as a new vehicle (brought in jan 2010). after the 2nd such incident the vehicle was taken to the dealer. they could not duplicate the issue. the vehicle had been taken in the past for gps check as well. subsequently the vehicle was asked to be brought in for a recall service and that was completed as well. this incident was the next time when trying to brake to come to a slow speed it picked up speed. wrote to toyota with all details but they say that they could not duplicate the issue and the vehicle does not seem to have faults. our concern is just that - they cannot duplicate the issue which means it can happen anytime without any warning. we are 100% sure this was not driver error and that it was identical to the past instances. toyota expects us to drive this vehicle we believe has some form of a fault. they were not willing to drive it to and from the test location even after they say the test revealed no faults - they had it towed both ways. this is a pure safety issue and this car should not be on the road ever again. many people can get hurt or die due to pure callousness of a vehicle manufacturer. toyota may manufacture and design great vehicles but they should also take responsibility for any system or technical malfunctions of their vehicles. we would appreciate that your organization takes some action regarding this with toyota so that they take this car off the road. we would hate to rely on toyota's letter knowing they are acting with negligence and then sell this car to an innocent buyer. *tr

The part between the roof and front wind shield is corroded so bad. everybody asked what happened. i took the car to the dealership in savannah, ga., charleston and lugoff, sc., neither one of the dealerships cared. they passed it off as nothing. however, it is a problem with the paint. the paint is peeling all over the car. i will upload a picture of the main part that peeling.

I was at a rest stop and in the process of unloading from the back of a toyota rav4 2010 model. the back door was fully open. with a very light wind, the door closed and i had my hand on the upper left side of the vehicle and i was looking the other way. the door caught my hand in the door. i had to use my other hand to get the door open. this should not happen. the door should either have a warning or the hinge should not allow the door to close like that. if it had been a child, there could have been damage to the hand. *tr
