Edge of hood had rust under paint. Toyota paid 1/2 (up to $250.00) to have rust removed and repainted. Also had stone chips buffed out. I think Toyota should have paid full price (by my reading of warranty) but I'll take what I can get.

Front left headlight developed moisture inside the lens. Not from a crack or seal break in the headlight assembly.
