This will continue until someone purchases jeep, that cares. It's plain and simple wrong prep, wrong wrong metals. As long as they can sell their problem to the public they will. It's not just the paint it's the whole damn vehicle construction from axles to electrical. Anyone else got a better idea. I would like to hear it. This has been nothing but a bunch of crap from the beginning in 2018 and maybe even earlier. This was not the way it was before.

If you bought a Wrangler to keep it pristine, you bought it for the wrong reasons.
Nothing worse than a clean Wrangler.

If you hit the trails, you're going to get trail damage, dents, dings, scratches. Paint bubbles should be the least of your worries.

This is nonsense. What’s wrong with a clean wrangler? Not everyone off roads. Not everyone likes a dirt vehicle. People have different reasons for having a jeep.

To be fair, this poster was quoting Tredsdert.
No matter the OP, it's still nonsense. Not everyone who buys a Jeep wants to be making years of payments on an auction vehicle.

Oh ha ha

the whole corrosion situation is sad. I wish an American company would buy Jeep back and bring it back to what it was.I have a friend who has had his keep for 16years and it’s still going. And not one paint blister.

Exactly..... I wanted a vehicle for open top, roughness and looks ..... Also 4x4 for beach driving. I'm not an off roader nor do I have to be one to own a jeep. Geeish.... I just wanted my 50K vehicle to last without bubbled paint and rust after a couple years.

Hood and doors, maybe more, can’t remember. We bought used so who knows how long it’s been that way.

I dropped my Wrangler off at the body shop this morning to have the corrosion repaired on all four doors, the hood, and the tail gate. I’m suppose to get it back in 7-10 days. My fingers are crossed that the paint matches and the current method of repair actually works.

Are they replacing the doors? I heard there was a new TSB that says they need to replace them now. I've had mine repainted twice already in 5 years...both times it was really bad on all doors and hinges.

My understanding from the representative at the body shop was that they were going to repair the existing doors, not replace them. The current TSB (23-020-23 REV. A) lists that the only parts to be replaced are the hinges.

Just noticed this on my 2020 about a month ago. Still under 36k, but at about 3 years and 3 months. So we'll see what warranty will do. I got max care so not sure.

OH yes earlier. I have a 2016...... 50K bubbled paint now rusted areas...... rust started 1 year after I got the vehicle on the underside. American car what did I expect. My Toyota 4 runner after 12 years had less rust.

yup thats what I have except on the hinges. I wish I realized the corrosion policy. I took my dealships word for it that it wasn't covered the 3-4th year when I complained ... mine is a 2016 JKU
