investigation into rusted underbodies that led to a nationwide recall by Isuzu and Honda in 2011. Rust-related issues near the frame or suspension may increase the chance of a crash - and these drivers found their cars literally crumbling beneath them. While the resulting recall spotlighted an unusual manufacturing defect, the real danger of rust cannot be ignored.
A rusted car frame compromises the stability of the vehicle, which can lead to a loss of a control. Rust adds hundreds of dollars to maintenance bills. It may take a mechanic twice as long to do simple tasks because a rusty bolt breaks off in the course of a repair.
If you are shopping used cars, avoid any car with rust. If a car has any visible rust, you can be sure the underside is in worse shape. Bubbles near chrome or rubber molding indicate rust under the paint. Be wary of rust repairs that have been painted over. Unless rust holes have been patched by a skilled craftsman, the rust will return (usually within a year).
For your own safety, and to protect your car's resale value, stop rust before it takes hold.
