Absolutely. It's warranty work.

Rust on the Seat Rails by mar008

Recently purchased a 2008 Malibu LT. After the purchase noticed the seat rails under the seat are all rusty. There is no record of the car being in a flood. I think it is strange these would be rusty and wondering why or how this could happen. Anyone else have any idea?

I don't mean to be TOO sarcastic, but here's an answer..."General Motors...Bankruptcy...due to loss of market share...due to products with problems like yours"
 
It has to make you wonder how stuff like this happens...

Your comments are utter nonsense and unhelpful.

You mentioned it's an 08. Was it a used car?

Do a CarFax check on your Malibu

The rails were painted and we did not buy it new. The drivers seat is all rusted and then the passenger seat is starting to rust. It seems odd, never seen anything like this happen. The dealer stated that it is happening to all cars even the new ones. He blamed it on the manufacturer. Who knows, they are going to replace them.

Sounds like water damage to me ! Check the rug inside for any signs of mildew and check hinges all around the car .. any rust ? . Still check with CarFax

We have had 2008 Malibu almost a year and there in no rust issue whatsoever. The dealer is telling you a lie. I too think this sounds like water damage of some kind?
 
You can try and have it corrected as warranty work but you may me denied as it does not sound like a manufacturing fault.
