Gladiator Rust issues

[legend007]

In earlier models of the wrangler these models were prone to rust in the winter up north or where salt is used. Now all are mostly aluminum bod

This is an issue with the steel hinges in contact with aluminum or something like that and a warranty issue. My friend purchased a 2019 Sahara and they had to fix and repaint his doors and hinges. All 5, passenger and tailgate doors. If i am not mistaken it was a recall.

Took mine in on Monday. I saw bubbling on the hinges, but when the body shop looked at it they found a bunch more. They will send their findings to Jeep to get it covered under warranty. They said I would be out a vehicle for 2-3 weeks, but I'll get a loaner.

My wife has a 2020 JLU and it looks like there's some type of isolation pad installed on the door hinges. Her's don't have corrosion on the door hinges, it has corrosion around the hinges where it attaches to the tailgate. I'll be heading to the body shop with hers soon.

A lot of hood / door oxidation.
