Mazda 6 2007: Rusting badly
Asked by Cathy Said
I have a similar situation with out 2007 Mazda 6 to the one referring to rust in a Mitsubishi Lancer (Carsguide, August 17, 2012). Our car is rusting really badly at the rear door hinges and into the roof. Mazda sent someone out who gave it a cursory glance and then sent a paint specialist out after I persisted. They are saying that it is environmental rust and that it was not repaired properly after the car was in a minor accident where the base of the boot lid got damaged. I am getting nowhere with Mazda, they take ages to respond to my questions and I am now considering going further with the Fair Trading people. Can you please advise me on whom I can approach?
