My wife is a long time Jeep owner, JK, now a 2019 JL, but see usually swaps them out just before 100,000 miles, but at 85,000 she is in love with the colr Earl which is on the 26 build now. And walking by looking her Jeep over she is getting corrosion on three door bottoms, and one hinge...Damn it! Talked to our dealer yesterday and she is out of paint warranty, as is my 2021 Mojave which hsa nothing yet. Gets worse building a Sahara again,i n Earl, no longer can get LSD rear, no longer can get the all wheel drive transfer case, she is a little torn up about what to do ,she loves the auto Awd,and wants the rear limited slip, for our long stone uphill driveway, her Jeep has always been awesome in the snow. Fixing it on us will be a bit costly.
Dealer guy was ok, his wife's Wrangler has the corrosion and he is out of warranty a bit also, they do have the work done at a nearby shop and it is not just Gladys and Wranglers it's across the board a bit and ,they get a far share of Rams also......Jack

Sorry to rehash this thread, but I found it via Google search. I am looking at a NOS 2025, built in February of that year. The Monroney sticker states that the hood is, "Dual Vented", and there is no charge for it. It does not say whether or not it's aluminum or steel. It does NOT say, "Steel Power Dome Hood", with the $650 up-charge, like all the new 2026's do. Is the corrosion issue still a factor at this point, and something I need to look for, or bring up, if I decide to start negotiations on this Jeep? Thank you very much!
2025 is too new to know already.

I’d assume they still have the same problem.

Thank you for the answer. Typically, how long does it take to start showing?
