Replying to: steve_ (May 05, 2008 10:47 am) Thanks Steve. Do you know if the dealer will correct the problem, or if this is something that I will need to do? There are some pretty pitted areas. Replies to this message: steve_ (May 05, 2008 11:31 am) wannamurano (May 05, 2008 11:38 am)

Replying to: wannamurano (May 05, 2008 10:52 am) I'd ask the dealer to fix it since it's only been 8 months and surface rust shouldn't be an issue so soon. If they hide behind the 5 year rust warranty that requires perforation, then ask them to open a case with Mazda.   If you have any receipts showing how often you've washed or waxed the car, that could help your case too.

Replying to: steve_ (May 05, 2008 10:47 am) I agree with Steve, some careful time with a clay bar is all you need. pollutants, acid rain spots, sulfur, and especially combustion by-products on the rear bumper may look like rust but come off pretty easy with the clay bar. I used to own light silver cars and you'd see tons of these spots, basically 1-2 times a year I'd clay bar before waxing to clean them up.
#8 of 22 Rust on the exhaust muffler by caliche67 May 11, 2008 (5:54 pm)
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) i purchased my cx-7 GT / blue 12/08. 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.
#12 of 22 checking for rust by dmele426 Jun 17, 2008 (6:25 am)
I happen to be washing my car about 1 month ago, as i checked the crevices and areas around doors and seals, I came across nuts and bolts that have an exessive amount of rust. To be exact these nuts and bolts are in area where people would never check under nomal circumstances. I called mazda and I am taking my car in for an inspection next week. i am a bit dissapointed at Mazda, my car is only 6 months old with 8,500 miles.
