Rear bumper (inside and out) has severe rusting. At first paint bubbled then rusting set in few months later. I called gm and they refused to repair. A 7 year old car should not have this severe rusting. The bumper looks as if belongs to a vintage 30 year old car! just not right and even more so that gm is not taking responsibility for something that seems to be a manufacturer defect!.
