valnjan Posted September 26, 2022 Report Share Posted September 26, 2022 (edited) My 2012 Journey had paint bubbles on the hatch door within a year. When I took it to the dealer, the first thing thet asked was if I had the car rust proofed.Yes I did. They explained that the product sprayed into the hatch door attracted the heat of the sun causing the fibreglass to release gas and make the bubbles..They told me that I had voided the warranty. I believed them. Now years later, I find out that the bubbles are caused by the fibreglass not being fully cured before painting. A common thing in the RV industry. I wrote to Chrysler weeks go and they seem like they are not going to reply. Has anyone else had a problem with these paint bubbles Edited September 26, 2022 by valnjan spelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5rebel9 Posted September 26, 2022 Report Share Posted September 26, 2022 YES, there is a whole thread about this same circumstance. I don't have the thread posting handy to link it to you, But yes a composite material rear hatch and liquid based rust preventatives do NOT mix.

I Just went outside with a magnet and yep it doesn't stick to the hatch but sticks to the side of my journey,,,LOL learn something new every day on a vehicle that is 8 yrs old P.S. guess you can go after whoever did your rustproofing i guess Edited September 27, 2022 by 2late4u jkeaton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
