2020 1500 DT Hood Corrosion??

I pray my truck doesn’t develop this paint issue but my wife’s Chrysler Pacifica has this all across the edge of the hood and now forming over the windshield and behind the driver side wheel well.

The hood is the worse it begins small, slowly gets bigger and now every car wash the paint chips off in that area. For now I’ve just applied a primer, then paint matched it with a kit I bought but I may have it re-sprayed or buy a bug guard.

I have seen tons of Pacificas with this issue. Then just last night I was walking around my 2019 Bighorn and noticed it's developing on the front lip of my hood as well. No rock chips, no saltwater, and only 83,000kms. I'm pretty pissed. Will have to go the bug deflector route for now - as mentioned "out of sight out of mind." 🙄
 
Hi everyone, was looking for some advice for a similar issue. I have a 2020 1500 with a small bubble in the paint on the front of the hood. There's a tiny break in the paint on the edge of the hood but no obvious rock chip. No other bubbling anywhere else on the paint. It's an aluminum hood so I assume it's corrosion related, but I'm not sure if it could be glue over spray or a factory primer issue. Unfortunately the warranty on the paint is out. Body shop says they can do a spot repair and then repaint the hood, but as was mentioned earlier this seems to be only a temporary fix. Is it worth it to repaint and then put a bug deflector to prevent future rock chips? Or just let it go and see if it spreads? Has anyone had their hood repainted, and if so how long did it last? If you let it go, did it spread quickly?IMG_20251007_194914816.jpg
