I have a 2004 Mazda 3 that has just past the 5 year warranty for rust.  I have several spots on my car that are beginning to rust.  Under the doors (inside), on the trunk under the light, on the corners on the quarter panels and under the wheel wells.  Is anyone else having this problem?.  I think this is way too early for a car to start rusting, and I am going to bring this up to my dealer tomorrow.  Any suggestions?Huh

KROWN your next car. Mine is ten years old and still looks like the day I bought it new at the dealer.

We tested the stuff at work along with some other brands in our environmental chambers. The KROWN came up on top by far.

Too bad you didn't take it to your dealer before the warranty expired.  My son's 04 started to rust too. They replaced over $6000. of parts on it: doors, side panels, trunk lid, etc.
