blistered paint

3 Subaru’s and this 4 year old Outback starts to rust. Clearly at a weld joint this MUST BE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. Dealer took pictures and I had to call them for their solution. They would not cover it, said Subaru Corperate office would not approve the repair. Given the number of successful class action law suits against rusting car manufacturers, one would think Subaru would be a little concerned.

I was told I must have gotten something on my car. I DID NOT get anything corrosive on it. I thought there were bugs on my car after going through car wash. On closer inspection, there were thousands of round "blistered areas" of the pain chipping and when you "popped" the blister, it chipped off.
