This is my 2013 Ford Focus ST after 47K miles
This is my 96 Ford Probe after 315K Miles....
My 93 PGT came out of a junkyard neededing a trans and had 2 inches of water sitting in the floor pans with busted out quarter windows. Sat for 2 years like that before I got it. NO RUST on the floor pans or anywhere else. Oh and by the way...just turned 325K miles!!!!
Yes the Probe will rust like any other car if the paint and primer are removed and left that way but for a new car to do this from the inside out is unacceptable.
Before anyone says anything...It is futile (believe me I have tried). Ford will NOT help due to being over 3yr 36K miles despite the fact that every body shop tells me this rust started long before the Bumper to Bumper Warranty was out. Because I have the maintenance plan the Dealership is mostly the only ones under the hood. Once the bubbling paint was caught this was how far the rust had spread. This amount of rust looked like this before I dug into it.
Shame on you Ford! Good luck with your future. My 21 year old car is holding up much better than my 4 year old car.
580 dollars to fix my hood. If anyone has any pull with Ford let me know. I really expect that they should at least help me with the expense of having their obvious defect repaired.
