Rust on 2003 Sorento trunk door

Hello everybody!

Last week I saw about 10 rust spots at the inner top edge of my trunk door. It is a 2003 Sorento EX with 41k mi. Exactly 5k over warenty.
I am so disappointed in the Kia quality, especially since they try to scratch at tha premium class SUVs.
A couple of days ago I had it at the dealer for an oilchange. Of course they said that it is over warenty and offered a deal:
if I get the transfer case, differential and coolant fluid replaced at the dealership they would "take care of the rust."
My advice: Check your Sorento for rust before you or your wallet become sore.

No offense, but maybe you should have taken your own advice and checked for rust before the warranty ran out. It's not a question of if rust is going to happen, but when. It just so happened that it only took 3 years or so for your vehicle to develop rust. Keeping your car free of salt and other debris will help slow the development of rust. Maintaining a good wax job doesn't hurt either. Sorry about your situation, but it happens.
