Rust on a New Edge?

blkfordsedan · March 26th, 2011, 02:01 PM

Has anyone ever seen, or have any issues with rust on their New Edge? I realized the other day that I have never seen one with rust issues. If so, what areas are prone to rust? I realize that a lot of the panels are plastic, and the stlye does not lend itself to winter driving, but these cars are starting to get up there in age. It's not uncommon here in the Midwest to see 2000+ vehicles like a Taurus, F-series, Explorers, Impalas, Cavaliers, etc. with rusty rocker panels and wheel arches. I've even seen some newer (2005+) Chevy and Dodge trucks with rust over the rear wheel arches.

Usually the only spot to keep an eye on is the under carage. The only other Thing to look out for are scratches that make it down to the metal. This will definantly speed up the corrosion if not taken care of
