      Found some bubbling paint today.

      I was surprised to see a bubble of rust has started on my aveo.

      I had the passenger door open. Its down on frame rail towards the front.

      Its not huge, but maybe the size of a dime. Hopefully its not a sign of the frame rail rusting from the inside. I dont think there was a chip there.

      I'll try to get a photo of it tomorrow.

      Have you cleaned all the gunk out of your fenders?

      Sorry to hear. Hope it's just a glob of seam caulk.

      Hi, Mines an '06.

      Here in Western, Ny.. rust is a major issue. Bare metal will almost rust before your eye's.

      So I'm not totally surprised, but it is a little unusual for something this new.

      I know what you mean, car rust pretty bad up here too.
      You should still be covered by your factory rust protection.
