You should have a 5yr. transferrable rust warranty. Take it to the dealer.

Hi,  
Is that in writing someplace in warranty?  
Appreciate the response.

Yes, but it is a rust **perforation** warranty.  
Surface rust isn’t covered.

There’s still the possibility the doors have rusted from the inside out. None of us can see the vehicle. Whether that counts as “perforation” is between the OP and the dealer.
