Rust on drivers door jam. HELP!

LOL the first picture I was thinking, pfft it's just hot sauce... wipe it off, then you did and then i'm like oh, shit... that's not good.

 

Not sure what you cleaning regimen consists of but if you don't dry and clean your door jambs after a wash the moisture hangs out for a while. I am sure it is worse in Florida. I may go overboard with cleaning but I blow out these spots with compressed air. Still though, this is not typical considering the age of the truck. Thanks for the heads up. I hope you get it under control.

 

I would be concerned, it appears to lack proper anti-corrosion (galvanizing, or whatever they do these days). This isn't acceptable on a Toyota, I've seen many Dodge/Chrysler vehicles with rust the first year where they are scratched (you get what you pay for). What's a big concern is that the paint wasn't even damaged where the rust is at. Good luck and keep after them until they come up with a good solution.

 

I'd try a different dealer and body shop. Pretty obvious the initial shop did a poor job in assessing and treating the issue. You may also go get a few quotes from independent shops and tell Toyota you are going there. Dealer-based body shops are just flat out terrible.

 

i’m curious OP @MREED . did you have pinch weld/CMC done?

 

If Bubba comes out of the service department with a sawzaw heading for your truck it is time to get out of there ASAP!
