2011 Rust
During a weekend clean & detail. I find some rust on the lower passenger side firewall!!! All the spot welds are almost rusted through! My question is, do I even bother the dealer with a warrantee claim? Or just fix it my self? The truck only has 52000 miles! But it has a 1.5 level which I'm sure the dealer might say was the cause!

Wouldn't hurt to take it in and see what they say.

That's a lot of rust for a 2011. You must live in an area with salted roads. I would scrape all the lose paint and rust away and apply Rustoleum "Rust Stop". It will penetrate all the rust still there and stop it. then if its hidden I would apply underbody spray coating. Good luck.

We'll if I read the warrantee right " correct if wrong"
It was 5 years unlimited on the rust issue. Which by 2016 might be all way through! But, I might just deal with it now, as not to have it on the vehicle history report in the future. I only keep vehicles for 5-6 years anyway. I'll just fix it & pass it along LOL!
