I have an 03 Dakota w/ 26,500 on the od.
Today I noticed the paint in the rear wheel wells was very thin and flaking in area's. These areas now have slight rust begining on them. should this be covered or is it my problem?

Rust warranty only covers rust-through. Repair it yourself before it gets too bad.

Because of the area where it is I doubt they will assume responsibility. There Just going to sujest your driving bad roads more then normal. Fender wells are prone to battle scares. It's worth a shot to talk to your dealer. If you have bought more then one auto from them over the years they will be more likely to fix it in as a good faith repair.
So many problems .... So little time

Well here is an update... I went to the dealer to see what could be done. So I went to the service manager desk explained the problem....no luck on my part he didn't want to do anything.....so after about 15 min of explaining the trucks not that old...low miles ect..... no luck....next I went to the Toyota dealer I bought it from and explained the issue..(I bought an extended 7 yr 1000,000 Bumper to bomper though toyota) The manager pulled up the info and asked when I wanted to drop it off so they could have a rental for me....Not one explaination...not one arguement....nothing just ok we will take care of it. (SOMETHING MAYBE DODGE SHOULD LEARN....CUSTOMER SERVICE) So it will be taken care of, but not through dodge

You got lucky there man!! I have a 00 dak and about a yr ago had some rust showing under the drivers door. Had some work done at the body shop and the owner said that rust was comming from the Pinch welds and will eventually eat through. took it back to dodge and went straight to their connected auto body shop. The manager (tony) said it would eventually rust through as well. He said dodge wont do anything becuase its not rusted through. Well he went to the service shop for me and got them to cover it. Dont know how but he said something to them. Got it all fixed up in about a week. He did mention how crappy looking the Original paint job looked under there, small dried paint drips real $hity. anyway he said I was lucky to bring it in when I did cause my 5yr paint warrantee was almost up whe I 1st came in. had about a month left!
