When my step daughter found this rust on the inside door jam of the back doors, I took my SUV to the dealership and showed them. They immediately put it in the shop, sanded repainted it and said this was a problem with the model because of the backsplash of the back tire. If you don't have mud flaps this can happen to you. The fix other than mud flaps is a trim sticker that goes over the paint which keeps it from rusting. I keep my eye on this, because after buying my car used, I did notice it was bought in New York..Lots of snow!! Lots of Salt!!! No other problems with my Equinox, other than I feel like the transmission is not going into 2nd gear sometimes.. so I let off on the gas and let it. I have actually pulled an Expedition out of the mud with this SUV and it's just a V6!! The only othere thing is..you can't keep the cloth seats or interior clean!!! UGH!!

No body damage to vehicle, paint just decided to flake off, and start rusting over the rear wheel wells. Just add another reason I will never buy another GM product again.
