Hello just wondering if anyone else has had this problem? I found a tiny rust spot on the roof of my car the other day. It hasn't even seen winter yet. What should I do? Is that covered under warranty?

take it back, get the dealer look at it.
there were some members who had rust problem and the dealer took care of it

is it just lil specks that look like rust? if so, its normal, just look at top of your rear bumper it should be full of em, and the bumper isnt made of metal, so its not rusting

no i can actually feel that the paint is gone there and rust has moved in!

my moms 98 corolla had rust in the door jamb when it was still brand new. they fixed it free of charge.

well i went to my local dealer(not the one i bought from) and they said it was a rock chip and didn't matter if it was winter or not and that they couldn't fix under warranty..so i'm just gna call up to the dealership i got it from. if they don't fix i won't buy from them again!

Toyota and Honda...really good cars but horrible paint. I just today saw an old Tercel driving down the road next to me,98% rust,but still rinning. I don't even need to mention my old 86' Accord lxi do I? In my opinion,these things will rust....bad,but I didn't buy my car just for looks,I will be happy to be the rusted out xA 10 years from now passing an AVEO(or pretty much any other american car) either on blocks or going on it's 5th engine/head.

well not I cause i want my car to look good also. i'll have it fixed or can you say insurance? oops i need to paint my top or maybe just take the money and get a panoramic sunroof and just do touch up paint!

i dont think they have to fix your problem, if its rusting from a rock chip that removed paint and is exposing metal its your problem. if i get the side of my vehicle keyed and it goes down to the metal and starts rusting im not going to expect the manufacturer to cover it under warranty.

now if it rusted without any bare metal, then youd have a claim.

wow toyota has an awesome paint job on their vehicles...or not.

I had some paint chips from rocks I would have to say and the dealer in St, Charles fixed it for free...
