My 2005 dakota is rusting at the front beam, which is the part right in front of the radiator. Anyone else have this problem? Is this something they dealer would cover? Im sort of sick of this truck, but its not even worth selling with its current resale value even though it only has 9,000 miles. Here are the pics

 

nice... time for some Rustoleum!

 

Don't they have 10 year 100,000 mile warranty on that?

 

I've got the same thing going. guess I'll have to knock that rust off and recoat it.

 

Yup, same thing

If you bring it in, you HAVE to let us know how you make out. I also am thinking about bringing it in.

 

i have the same problem...

 

Consider yourself lucky that's all the rust you have. Scrape it with a wire brush prime and paint it.

 

Does anyone ever pick up the hood and blast it with water and alittle soap?

 

Yeah i have that same problem...but honestly its not even worth arguing with the dealer over because they will say that its not covered because its NORMAL lol anyway i get rid of mine tomorrow anyway cause of my military assignment sending me over seas. anyway good luck.

 

i had that the day i drove my new 05 off the lot. nothing to worry about. just a poor job from chrysler. wire brush it and give it a coat of spray.
