A mere three months later, the rust returns!



I am simply astounded, but as I write this, a mere three months later, the rust has returned in exactly the same spots. I have sent an e-mail to the dealership regarding the rust, and await their response.

Here are pictures, because I just don't know what else to say.

  1. I have the same rusting on my 2006 Mazda 5 as I posted in my previous comment. Any luck with the dealer? Mine is apparently looking into it.

  2. Well the dealer told me they'd look into it.... a month ago.

    The last time that I brought the vehicle in for the rusting issue, my dealer was told by Mazda Canada that rusting is only covered if it PERFORATES the sheet metal.... which means, by the time that actually happens, the vehicle will likely be out of warranty.

    This rusting, by the way, is after my dealer "fixed it". approximately 3 months after being "fixed".

  3. You might want to check for rusting along the top edge of the windshield as well. I've got some forming there now too.

  4. You should follow up to your dealer about that rust problem. Ask if they can apply a good coating material to keep rust from coming back, just like what happened 3 months ago.
