JoeFromPA Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Hey all, Yes, yes, I should post pictures of this My 2008 Door Sill plates are showing corrosion on the driver's side all around the edges. I thought they were aluminum, but damn if this doesn't look like rust to me. I tried to pick at it with my fingernail and it appears to be under the layer of lamination on top of the aluminum. I'm getting pissed at this car for corrosion right now. 28k miles, 16 months old, and all 4 wheels have corrosion spreading out from under the center cap of the wheel, and now the door sills aren't holding up. Anyone else experience this or have any suggestions/ideas? Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeFromPA Posted August 24, 2009 Author Share Posted August 24, 2009 Wow....and here I've managed to keep my wheels in tip-top shape for 28k miles. No curb rash or scratches Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youknowit Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 The dealership will fix corrosion on the wheels? Yes they are doing mine on friday! all four of them. And i keep mine in good shape too, what they told was when the tires get rotated that the center caps need pushed out from the back other wise if you use a screw driver this is what happenes.

JoeFromPA Posted August 24, 2009 Author Share Posted August 24, 2009 You don't need to remove the center cap to rotate the tires at all, and the only time my tires have been rotated I've done them myself. A screwdriver has never touched my wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pillboy Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Joe- I you get new wheels as a warranty claim, you will curb one the following week. Guaranteed. It is still ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
08Legacy08 Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 I've an '08 with the same problems! I kept my plastic on the sill plates for 9 months and still i'm seeing rust... also my wheels are being refinished courtesy of SOA. Don't just get new ones as they'll end up doing it again!! I'm also having problems with rock chips on my clearcoat. I'm in the process of working with SOA on that too. They initially denied my claim but they seem to be working with me now - I'll provide updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will remove them if they balance the wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
