I just noticed that the red (I have an Rubi X) paint is pealing or flaking off my Trail Rated Badge.

Anyone else having this problem, be it in red or black?

It's under warranty, take it in

Yep! and yes this happened with the red trail rated badges on my Cherokee Trailhawk. The ones they replaced them with seem to be holding up much better.

Haven't noticed it on mine yet, checked the last time someone mentioned this, will check again later though(My OCD won't let me ignore the possibility).

My trail rated bade was pealing when I picked it up off the lot....I didn't realize it until I looked it up online.

The dealer replaced/painted the badge yesterday and it looks perfect. I agree with SGT93 to take it in....

I am sure they will say that if its not generating a trouble code, there's nothing wrong with it.

Just figured I would check here, before having to deal with the service dude.

OK, here is a pic, if that helps.

This is what mine looked like...

Interesting that the paint is applied to a mirror like metal surface, shouldn't it be etched first, not to mention primed?

This IS Chrysler we're talking about, isn't it? :rofl2:

I guess this is the kind of info I was seeking. If they are all "bad", and the paint flakes off the replacement just as quickly, it really isn't worth having the dealer replace it. However, if the replacements are better, then it is worth it.

I believe it is actually plastic.....not sure but I would guess.

Like I said WaltA, mine was like this off the lot. I do not know if they replaced the badge or just "re painted" it. Either way it looks perfect now. Hopefully the paint will adhere.

Maybe y'all wash the jeep a bit to much

Actually, my dealer washed it more.

So, its all really their fault. Yep, that's it. Its all their fault.

I'm just waiting to see how your new one holds up, mine looks like the paint is still on there, but the lip edge isn't perfect.
