Door paint bubbling

[DOCXKT]

Anything the dealership repairs under warranty remains under warranty. Doesn't matter if it's been repaired several times already.

This is not true all the time, I had multiple repairs and after the forth one they declined to work on it any longer because multiple attempts were made.

I was waxing my jeep today and noticed the pain bubbling at the bottom of both passanger doors. I knew the hinges were a common problem but has anyone experienced bottom of the doors? I called the dealership and spoke to the body shop and they first thing they said was how does your hinges look.

This was actually happening on all my doors.

I'm certain it is always true. Just because a dealership refuses further repairs on any part of a vehicle that's under warranty doesn't nullify the warranty. They are bound to it by law. If they don't take care of it and fix it, then the lemon law takes over.

I just picked up a new 23 Rubi and have two paint runs under the door handle.

That is not what this thread pertains to.

Gee, thanks for the guidance on paint flaws.

Had all my hinges done March 2020. Bubble just appeared on the driver's door skin. I was concerned about the repair as my warranty ran out in December 2021. Dealer said not to worry as it's covered under the 5 year corrosion warranty. Just waiting for FCA authorization to fix it.

I just noticed some bubbles on the lower driver side door. So corrosion is covered under warranty for five years, mine is a 2020?

Yes it is.

The bubbling is spreading like wild fire along my door panels, hinges and corners of my hood.
7 months waiting for my claim. Can’t wait to trade the POS

Unless I am missing something, you're getting hinges repainted right? What does that have to do with hinges being back ordered?

The dealership wants to replace them. They believe this is the cause of the issue. All 8 of my door hinges have blistered, also the bottom of two door panels. I explained to them there are no hinges along the hood corners that are also blistering. It’s puzzling. They’re hoping I just go away. I will when it’s repaired. The dealership low balled me with a trade in offer for the record.

I just found spots bubbling on my hood also. This sucks!

The dealership thinks that they can repair the OEM hinges by ordering newer OEM hinges?

Lol. Why cant you just trade it in as is? Do you think their offer is going to go up when you get the work done or are you planning on taking it elsewhere after the work is done?

 

[MrSir]

Taking it elsewhere. Won’t trust the Jeep brand until it’s officially a recall and permanently fixed. The issue is also present in the Cherokees, in particular their hoods. FCA knows this, but won’t admit it. A recall is an admission and it’s not safety related. Guaranteed it affects the wholesale value from another brand.
