2001 LS430 / 92,000 miles with corrosion issues on both front door panels. Detailer noticed the start of paint blisters right at the lower door panel trim line. Since I now reside 300 miles away from the dealer that I bought the car from I had him take it to an independent body shop for an estimate to clean up the blisters. This is what he found under the drivers side lower panel:
Is this a common issue with the door panels? The car is located in Western PA away from any saltwater and is rarely driven in any bad weather (never in snow or salt). I asked Lexus customer service to review the photo and they told me there was nothing they could do. It had exceeded the 6 year corrosion warranty by a year.
Any feedback on this would be appreciated.
