Consumer Description

I NOTICED A RUST BUBBLE UNDER THE PAINT A FEW INCHES ABOVE THE REAR TIRE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I REMOVED THE PAINT ON THE 1/4" DIAMETER AREA AND COATED WITH TOUCH UP PAINT. AFTER A WEEK THE RUST STARTED BLEEDING THRU THE TOUCH UP PAINT AND I NOTICED A COUPLE OF MORE BUBBLES. I THEN REMOVED THESE BUBBLES WITH A HAND HELD PENCIL TYPE GRINDER, COATED WITH PRIMER, THEN TOUCH UP PAINT ONLY TO FIND THE SAME THING A FEW WEEKS LATER. I HAVE DOING A LITTLE RESEARCH AND THIS SEEM LIKE A COMMON ISSUE. DUE TO THE INNER FENDER I CAN NOT GET TO THE BACK SIDE OF THE FENDER TO STOP THE ISSUE. LOOKS LIKE THE DESIGN ALLOWS WATER/SALT/DEBRIS TO BE TRAPPED IN THIS AREA.
