2008 Wrangler Rust Issues anyone?

I bought a new 2008 Wrangler Unlimited (Yellow) a little over two months ago. It now has 2,302 miles on it and am noticing rust all over the exhaust pipes, muffler, driveshaft, and rear suspension. I drove it to the dealer and I was told "That's Normal." I said $30,000 and in two months you call this normal? He said that warranty won't cover it and there is nothing I can do. He said it is because I live in PA and drive it through the snow... but IT'S A JEEP! Is anyone else having any problems like this? I also have a 2001 Audi with 110,000 on it now that I drive in Northern Michigan that has very little rust on it compared to my new 2 month year old Jeep. Any Suggestions? I already emailed Jeep a few days ago...no reponse yet. PLEASE HELP!

the slight rust is cause by condesation on the undersides and its normal and eventually it will rust through but it will take many years

I am having the same problems. I bought a 2008 Jeep Wrangler in September and the muffler looks worse than my old Camaro's. I took it back and they suggested painting it black with grill paint. After much complaining, they agreed to put on a new muffler (painted). I hope this fixes the problem rather than masking it??? I'm also concerned with the rust on the door hinges. They shabbily cleaned it off once. However, they told me to expect it to come back and that I should grease the inside of the hinges. I love the Jeep. However, with it only being 8 months old and having 3,000 miles, I wonder how it's going to look in 2 years??? Let me know what happens with your's.
