Body Corrosion! Help please
My mom has an 05 F250 Diesel and the other day she showed me a bad spot of ust where the paint is completely flaked off in about a 6 inch circle. Its located where the fender meets the firewall on the passenger side just to the outside of the hood hinge. Would this be covered under some sort of a corrosion warranty? If so whats the coverage 100,000? 150,000? Thanks for the help!

I don't know, but a 3 year old truck shouldn't be rusting already. I'd take it to the dealer and ask. The worst they can tell you is no.
What area do you live in to have this much rust already? I'd spend some time crawling around under the truck and give the body a good once over before taking it in so you can find any additional spots that may be showing up. Let us know how this goes.

Ok I will crawl under and take a look. We live on the coast in Texas so the salt is pretty bad... But that being said that truck is washed and waxed every week.. but the area that rusted is of coarse under the hood and it never waxed in sure. But i still think 3 years is way too soon.
