That second pic kinda looks like bondo or plastic cracking. Have you owned the truck since it was new?

Bondo or rust! there is some metal that is prone to getting rust faster and if they didn't prep your truck 100% at the factory then you could have premature rust.

Doesn't dodge have some kind of corrosion warranty? If it came back the whole door skin probably needs to be replaced, either that or a completely new door.

Yeah, look into the 100,000 mile/60 month rust through warranty.
Not sure since it isn't a hole yet.
