I bought my silver Mazda 3 last year, March 2004 and it's beginning to rust already!!!!! I noticed a whole bunch of what looked like orange rust dots all over my car and some rusting along the left rear wheel well. I took it to an autobody/paint specialist and he told me that the orange dots were not rust, which I was really surprised about!? He got some liquid compound and was able to rub them out.....the Mazda people said they were "break dust" - - is that true?????
The rust on the wheel well is TRULY rust and I'm completely horrified and disgusted by it!! Mazda will cover the costs to fix that obviously, but I'm VERY concerned about the future and if the car is prone to more rust coming through in a couple years?
When should a brand new car actually start to show rust? I KNOW definitely NOT after ONE year!!!! Anyone else notice any rust on their Mazda????
Any suggestions about what I should ask from Mazda or just 'do' in general?
