Sonic Hatchback tailgate rust - Known problem?

[Anaerin]

So I've owned 3 Sonic Hatchbacks now, and the last 2 both have this same issue.The black car is a 2012 LT and the orange is a 2013 LT, but both have the same rust spot, in the exact same place. Is this a known design flaw? Is something leaking inside? Am I just lucky, or is this happening to anyone else?

I have a 2015 that is rusting in the same spot! Had body shop fix it and in 2 years, rusting again.
