| Description of the problem | Rust bubbling up under paint around for hinges. The rust is only evident on the top hinges of both doors (vehicle only has two doors). The dealership refused to fix it and called it a paint imperfection. However the rust spot is increasing in size and new spots are developing. There is no damage to the paint (i. E. Chips, scratches) that would explain the rust. It seems to have come from the factory/ manufacturer. |
