Default 2018 Ford Mondeo - Surface Rust

Hi,

I was under the car today and found the steel tubes to reinforce the muffler have a lot of surface rust. I purchased this car new four weeks ago.

Anyone experienced the same wth their car?



Cheers,

rxj

they aren't stainless so probably normal. I know you've not had the car long but it could have been standing in a field. what's the build date?

Build date May 2018 so sitting at the Altona holding yard in Victoria for sometime. You could see the water etching in the glass and paint before I buffed it.
