If your dealership is anything like mine you'll get a "what the hell do you want us to do about it?" response, though.

You might be SOL since you are in Minnesota though. The whole issue of excissive rust in this area used to be fixed under warranty for all of us 8 owners. According to my local dealer, they have been told by MNAO to stop performing this repair for free in areas like the Midwest. I'm not sure if this is actually the case. See what your dealer says...and if they do fix it for you...PM me a copy of the work order! I'll want to show it to MY dealer.
