[drichard989]

Thought it might be a good idea with the new year to see how peoples paint condition is, broken down by year.

Mine is an August '21

To determine what? Whether a 2019 Ocean Blue from Portand, Oregon is more prone to corrosion than a 2020 Firecracker Red from Cincinnati, Ohio?

Personally, I'm kinda curious how it breaks down by year...

But on the other hand, if this post offends you in some way, how about instead of being an ass you just close the thread and move TF on?

This is why i put this up. If the issue has not been fixed we should see exponential decay in the graph of data as new years come up. and if it has somehow been resolved a sharp cutoff at some time.

We need as many responses as possible to get a good sample

Geography is relevant.

Not if you're evaluating the sum/total of all incidences.

Well we could capture location along with year and even production date (via the VIN). If JL forum was willing to put that on the front page I would setup a google form to capture all that

21 here with about 24k miles. Nothing yet but I check my hinges every time I pump gas. I’ll be addressing it with my dealer when it inevitably starts.

I don't see the need; we're far enough into the weeds already. If you start getting into different regions of the country, then you have to get into how many vehicles in each region, how many miles driven, salt vs brine, how many times a year salt was applied... umm... no.

Yep, and why I think the poll is pretty much meaningless.
