Question
2009 Jeep wrangler. Paint is bubbling around door and hood hinges.
Dealership will fix it now. Question is what do they need to do to fix it so it will not do the same thing later. Any information would be appreciated. Having some info before going in will give an opportunity to talk to them about how and why it is happening
thanks

Answer
Hello Cindy
Great question
First , we want to know why those areas under discussion were painted. This is not a factory issue
The bubbles usually come from moisture, either in air lines or in product reducers being used.
So, ask them the question, Why is this happening and how can you guarantee it will not happen again.
Let me know what they say.
If you fell uncomfortable ,get a hold of the zone manager for Chrysler and let them know how you feel.
Don't let anyone intimidate you with fancy words
