Paint on front bumper peeling right off, unknown if any other complaints about the paint job. It is the white. 2004 Ram 1500 5. 7l standard cab.

2 Bumper problem

Failure Date: 05/10/2006

My rear bumper which is a tow bumper just started rusting after the 36 month warranty has expired. I have an extended bumper to bumper warranty, but I was told this was not covered. I was also told by the dealer that this was not the first one that they had seen. They suggested that maybe it was bad plating which was causing the rust . This is a costly repair about $575. 00 I just don't want other people to be caught off guard and to watch their rear bumper for defects.
