I traded my 2011 2 door in for a 2013 4 door back in November so I've had it for almost a year now. It's been through just 1 winter now here in the salt belt. I'm religious about washing the salt off stuff and it lives in my garage. At least 1 of the hinges on each of the doors is starting to bubble already and 1 has rust peaking through. Anyone else have this happen yet. I had my 2011 for 2 winters and not a single spot on it didn't get nearly as much attention.

 

That shouldn't be happening, but it will be covered under warranty. I highly recommend doing the drilled mirror mod. That is, drilling a small hole on the underside of the mirrors. This allows water to drain out, instead of becoming stuck in and behind it, which helps promote corrosion.

 

Where do you drill it?

 

I'm just kind of annoyed by it because its not even a year old yet and I plan on keeping it for a long time. They should give me a free loaner to drive when I take this in right?

 

This is how the addiction to mods starts,

 

It varies from dealer to dealer. They aren't required to

 

I'll be kind of pissed if they don't. I bought something new so I wouldn't have to worry about rust for a long time. I really don't want to have to pay for my own rental on top of the inconvenience.

 

Being polite and explaining its your only way to get to work will help you more than demanding a rental car and showing outrage about your rust. Just FYI Remember they didn't paint your jeep

 

Yeah I know that haha. They are a pretty cool dealership.

 

I have this on my 2012 also, not happy.
