Looks like under paint corrosion to me, I might be wrong, but if that is the case there is nothing you yourself can do about it. You will need to make a warranty claim to get it repaired.

It's a warranty claim. Had the same issue on my hood and both right side doors. The bubble on my hood was the leading edge and started very small and was pretty visible by the time it went to the body shop.

It's a common issue that has been discussed extensively on the forum. It's most prominent on the door hinges but also shows up in other aluminum body panels...hood, doors

They prepped the metal to remove any oxidation/corrosion and repainted all areas. I can't tell it's been touched and been about 8 months since the hood was repainted. So, I can tell that the entire hood was repainted and cleared. Couldn't tell how much of the doors were repainted and cleared. I have no complaints so far.

The problem is that i don’t want any painting on the jeep i prefer to replace it than painting it

I understand that. Under warranty, they will almost always approve a repaint instead of replacing it. I honestly feel like my hood paint is likely to have a recurrence. I didn't get a choice in how they addressed it.

Had the same issue on my hood last year. Had to replace the hood due to corrosion. Now my entire jeep is doing it. Currently fighting them on getting it covered as they were quick to say my bumper to bumper was out just two weeks prior to it showing up. They had a guy come to look at it and he said it wasn't corrosion but when I went to pick the jeep up I found 3 spots on hinges and now more is showing in other places.

You are very lucky! The infamous corrosion thread is filled with owners who had their Jeeps messed up by the dealership because of how extremely bad they painted the affected areas.

You are absolutely correct. These dealership body shops are the worst. So. I found that the dealership in Mount Airy, North Carolina uses a privately owned body shop since they don't have one. They actually did what they are supposed to do and it shows.
