2012 Rear bumper rust, please help
My rear bumper is rusting pretty bad. I have polished several times, and it comes back worse every time. Its less than 2 years old and I have mud flaps. I brought it to the dealer today, and the writer was trying to pass it off as normal. Has anyone experienced this? Thanks
I have pictures but I can't post them

Why would the paint or chrome plating on a bumper be treated any different than the paint on a body panel? If the truck is well cared for then Ford should give you some consideration.
Obviously the selling dealer will be of no use here. I'd fire him immediately and move right to Ford's customer service. I have no patience or use for anyone who won't back their product.
Clearly things can happen to bumpers but the pics look to me as though the chrome plating failed.
