We purchased one about 8 months ago, and noticed yesterday when I was hand washing it that there are rust spots all over the car - including the rear bumper that is plastic. My guess is that the metal flake in the paint is causing it to rust. Ive searched the boards, and havent found anything regarding this issue - I thought I would toss it out there to see if anyone else has had this issue? I am livid. 8 months old, and tarnished! I have an appt with the local dealer this evening to see what the next step will be. Any advise would be appreciative. Thanks.

| I noticed that certain parts of my exhaust system on my CX-7 (on the rear, below the trunk, where the two tail pipes sprout from) are starting to rust, or at least starting to show signs of superficial rust. I cannot believe it, I've only had this CUV since January 2008 (got it brand new - 10 miles on it). Has anyone noticed similar things on yours? I also have a CX-9 (got it new, also in January, 6 miles on it) and I've noticed yellowish stains (similar to beginning of rust) at the exhaust orifices of the tail pipes. What is up with that? The paint on both is also showing blemishes or scratches for no reason. Seems like the coating is poor at best. Any comments any one? Thanks! | |

The exhaust is not supposed to stay flawless on any vehicle, unless it's dragging on the ground or rusting through it's doing it's job. Pictures? Some of you amaze me with the issues you're having, only with the CX of course, because I know the exhaust on all other cars stay the same glamorous shade of steel as the it was the day it was driven off the lot. |

Replying to: wannamurano (May 05, 2008 7:38 am) already i found rust on the doors, specifically the area where the door hinge is connected to the body. The screws, nuts and bolts, look rusted and because I have a light blues color on my car, the rust is noticeable.. i called dealershhip and mazda but they do not seem to think is rust. i am taking my car in for an inspection next week.
