Tailgate Showing Rust

[Swim214]

Hello, I am writing to see if anyone has any rust showing on their Telluride? I was cleaning mine the other day and I noticed the inside of the tailgate is showing rust. So unhappy as I take very good car of my Telluride. Mine has 8,k miles on it and I got it in September. Really concerned that the build quality is just not there.

Here is the photo. Back left tailgate, inside edge. It’s creeping to lower/ outside edge.

looks like the paint was scratched off of that area. did it come that way from the dealer, or did you happen to close the lift gate on something that would have scraped the paint?

I have not closed the tailgate on anything. I take quite meticulous care of my cars.

if the rust isn’t too deep, it can probably be sanded off and repainted. maybe have the dealer cover the repairs.

There are a couple of threads on this. It's likely just iron dust - and you need an iron remover.

I don't think those brown spots are rust, Get a clay bar that should remove them.

My Telluride is one year old and the chrome plates inside the tailgate on the back floor are rusting something terrible and it is always quite damp where the tailgate latches. In addition, my tailpipes are already beginning to rust.
