Finishing first winter with a 2014 S GT Hatch (have had since 5/14) and I am seeing slight paint bubbling around the corners of my Mazda Accessory sill plates on the driver's door. These are the OEM Stainless Steel accessory with the red "Mazda 3" logo printed on them.

Was cleaning around the door sills and noticed small amount of rust discoloration which I wiped away to find the two spots- top corners of both front and rear of drivers door sill plate. Paint bubbles on the front edge flaked off to bare metal as I wiped clean. Any one else see the same? Only been through one winter!

Will show the dealer this week to determine cause/fix.

with the new "unlimited" warranty this should be covered no problem if you bought it straight from the dealer. Especially since its a new model, and I bet they don't wanna start this new policy off on a bad note.

let us know what they decide!

Is it the titanium color?
This is the second time I bring my Mazda to the dealer for rust, this time welding point around the license plate.
Good luck!
