Rust on Bumper/Bad chrome on grille

Just wanted to vent

. Now that the weather is nice I spent some time cleaning up my truck. I found numerous rust spots on the front bumper on my 04.5 bought new in Feb 04. Also found where the chrome on the grille is wrinkling. I had 40,300 when I cleaned it up. Went to the dealer knowing that I am past warranty on mileage to see what they say. Local dealer checks with Chrylser and canned response is no way! It just upsets me that DC will not even discuss this with me. I put on about 3,000 a month so you can not tell me that that stuff was not there at 36,000. My stupidity for not going thru the truck with a fine tooth comb prior to 36,000. Oh well, thanks for letting me vent.

Anyone else have these issues? If you haven't check your truck BEFORE 36,000 MILES IF DON'T HAVE THE EXTENDED!!!!!!!!!!
