I just noticed this today...and its not good to tell me that its an environmental issue because where the espresso paint is gone and now appears to be white, the body of the truck feels smooth..it just appears that the paint looks as if it has washed off or rubbed off...and if it was environmental, the entire area would be the same...it goes from rust/medal on the wheel wall of the finder, to perfectly fine then to a white surface with no paint....I haven't had the chance to contact my dealer since today Is a Saturday but I will be contacting them first thing on Monday morning and will be looking for the issue to be fixed AS SOON AS POSSIBLE...my truck isn't even quite 4 months old!!!
My first response fromt he dealer was that this was an "environmental" issue due to stone chipping and therefore not covered under warranty. I'm in the process of throwing up the challenge flag.....we'll see what the response is. Based on location of the rust and being on both sideds of the truck in the same exact location, this is obviously not a "environmental".
Has anyone else encountered this rust pattern in the 2012 Titan?
