Was under my car the other day trying to get a piece of cardboard box that blew under and got stuck in the driveway. It’s a 2017 CPO CX-5 Sport. Naturally, I decided to look around. I live in Long Island, New York, which gets absolutely littered with salt during the winter. So some level of rust on components is expected on an almost 4 year old vehicle. You should’ve seen the weld points on my 2017 Tacoma.
Anyway, I was a little alarmed to see this level of pitting/loose rust on the frame itself. This is where there is an opening in the protective plastic covering (what are these holes for on car frames, anyway?). Everything else I can see looks good. I’m assuming salt sat here for a bit and had a good lunch. What do you guys think?
