Again, this is a fairly common problem with dodge trucks. First rusted through in only about 7 years.

Just wondering why Dodge can't manufacture an auto body that live as long as their drive trains. I love this truck and with 67,000 on it now, there is significant rust on both front doors and rust starting on the rear cab doors too. Too bad Dodge didn't do a recall for this. I will definately look at another brand of truck when shopping for a new one this year.

I know I'm not the only owner with this problem,I've seen many trucks and different years. The problem of rusting at the bottom of the doors. Dodge should have a recall on this problem.
