I was washing my truck the other day and noticed two small bubbles in the paint on the box just above the wheel well. they were about the size of a pencil eraser. Has anyone else had this problem?? I hope it isn't rust starting to pop up.

 

i have a few. but my truck was repainted at 500 miles. so i dont know how well it will hold up.was not the factorys falt i was in a very bad sand storm for about 10 hours.

 

Paint has a warrranty. dont remeber how long, but it does have a warrranty against workmanship and matrials. check it out.

 

I have the same problem,both wheel wells.My dealer is going to fix both sides.coobie

 

same deal on my 04 3500 short box, bubbles above the wheel well.had a body shop sand it out and found 6 or more small rust holes completely thru...seems dodge drilled 4 5/8 holes in the inner brace so salt/sand could sit and eat away at the metal...stupidest thing i ever saw...only chrysler told me to pound sand even tho they have a 5 year rust warranty...not happy 3 1/2 year old truck rusting out,,b.s..grrr!

 

yup.. had that problem as well on my '04. Dealer covered it under the warranty and replaced the entire panel. I thought they were just going to paint it. Chrysler/Dodge did make the process difficult though. The truck only has 37k miles.

 

get mine back tommarrow,2 full box panels replaced under warranty no problem. stopped at the dealer they took pics and called 5hrs. later said ok

 

how many miles on your truck when they fixed the box??

 

same problem but i do not have warranty coverage any more so now i have a truck thats is rusting out. i am not happy with dodge at all.

 

Just because it`s not covered under warranty doesn`t mean you it can`t be fixed BEFORE it "rusts out". It`ll be a lot less money to fix a paint problem now , compared to a rust problem later on.
