Actually just looking at it, it looks like overspray to me. The white marks on the cylinders there (I assume this is the front undercarriage?) show signs of overspray, as does the rest of the frame.

So in other words, I am screwed, what can I do to prevent, limit, or remove some or all of the rust?


Edit: I just went to the car and checked those cylinders, thats dirt not white overspray it goes away with a finger swipe..

Don't take no **** from them. Did you buy this car new or used. If new no problem if used then they sold it to you that way so they should fix it. The rust is covering to much area to be from an accident.

i did the undercoating to prevent this problem, see what the dealer says. your car should be covered under warranty from rust. i forgot, but it was somehting like 3 years/84,000 miles rust warranty or something.

EDIT: sorry it was 84 months, 100,000 mile warranty
