Default 06' Chrome Rusting out???

Need some help here Dodge Lovers.... please. Have an 03', 05', and a brand new 06' 2500 Cummins. My entire front endon the new rig that is chrome is all rusted out. Haven't had the truck even 6 mo's. Don't have one problem with the 03' or 05's chrome. Took it in to the dealer today, (the new GO, recently changed from John Elway), and they said it would be considered "outside forces" that caused it, namely the mag chloride. Funny that our 03' and 05' with hundred's of thousands of miles more on them don't have a mark on them. Finally talked to the service manager who said that this is happening to all new Durango's and Ram Trucks. This truck has been washed religiously, and garaged every night. So much for "bumper to bumper"What do I do??? Thanks for any help! ~JP

I have an 2007 and the wife ( of all the people ) noticed rust on the rear bumper and snapped on me. It was been snowing and wet roads, so no chance to clean up yet for a good look, but she did see it.

I will have a chance to clean it this weekend as we will be above 0 then, and then I will get a better look at it
