I just bought a 2013 about 6 months ago. Truck was clean. I was it every week occasionally every other. Just started noticing tiny rust bubble on both fenders. I’m freakinf out. Any body else have this issue. What did you do? Any way to stop before get worse?

I had it happen. On my 2014 ram 1500 white. I brought it to the dealer and they took photos and was approved and replaced under warrenty. As long as it is interior and not caused from stone chips etc. Think it is only 5 uears with ram so get there ASAP.
Look back you will see a thread from august i think it was.

I've had similar issues good willed through dealerships in the past, but it was never beyond 3yrs/36K miles and it was with Ford and Nissan. It took some doing doing on my end being calm/cool with a service adviser to get it escalated to the proper folks to get it taken care of.

Yea. I think I’m probably s.o.l as I’m over 5 years and have 80,000 miles and I’m the 3rd owner. I’m going to get on it. I have a buddy at the dealership see if he can get something done for me. I need to get in it fast as it seems like it’s growing pretty fast. It’s between the metal and the paint. This sucks.

You may have ended up with a truck that had a notorious not so good paint job from Warren, however it could also just have been normal corrosion due to road salt and winters. Its not wasted effort to protect as much of the truck as you can from rust. Especially when you buy new. The previous owners probably never did anything.
