2008 CRV Rust

I own a Glacier Blue Metalic 2008 CRV with 22,500 miles.  This is the 2nd winter and when recently washed, rust spots appeared on rear hatch door, all 4 side doors, and all quarter panels.  Appears to be "bubbling" from under paint, not from rocks or other debris.  Anyone else experienceing this?

I have a friend with same problem.  We drive the same roads and have approx. same mileage.  She brought her 2008 CRV to dealer and was told rust was caused from envirnmental elements and brake dust.  They told her it would not be covered under any type of warranty.  

Vehicle has been on the road for 1 year and 3 mopnths.  I had hoped this would be my car for at least 10 years, but I don't think I should have to pay to have it repainted after such a short time.

Any info or suggestions you can give would be helpful.

Derek,
Unfortunately I did not take any pictures of the rust.  I took the CR-V to my dealer and showed their warranty manager.  He did cover the paint repair on the rear hatch door.  The "rust" spots I was noticing on the sides and quarter panels are not rust.  They actually can be rubbed off with my finger, but I worry I will scratch the paint when I do this.  Have your mom contact her dealer to see if they will do anything for her.  Be sure to take pictures if they tell you that they will not cover the repairs.  That way if the paint is recalled you will have documented it when you first reported it to the dealer.  Good luck!
