Seems like a large problem with rust in the rear wheel wells and back seat doors of Mercury Mariners. I have noticed several other vehicles in Michigan with blistering paint and rust in the rear wheel wells. Warranty only covers areas that have rusted thru completely. Warranty was up on my vehicle in Sept 2012. Rust was first sited in 2011. Took to the dealer and was given a quote of over $800 to repair.

Quality of work really seems lacking on this vehicle's finish.
