Anyone know what could've caused this? I still have warranty but doubt the dealership would even investigate this. Send paint touch-up recommendations if any, I've been looking at paint2fix & touchupdirect as my last resort.

Have the Dealership check out your entire vehicle for any corrosion bubbles, including the inside door bottoms, hood, and rear tailgate. There is a 5 year warranty on these known paint issues.

Need some better pics. To me, the first pic looks like dirt or a stain. Try using a clay bar after cleaning the area a bit. If I look closely at the areas I circled (again a bit hard to tell from your pic), I can see what looks like dirt circles/spots on the paint.

In the 2nd pic, are those chips in the paint? Hard to tell from your pic. If they are, looks like something got on and ate away at the paint. The rest looks like staining, leading me to again believe something got on your paint.

Still looks like an issue under the paint. Primer, prep, contamination, who knows. A body shop should be able to determine a cause and remedy.
