Finally we went to the consumer department, they have been very friendly and helpful, but they have not the power to decide, they only can mediate. Mitsubishi offered obliging to pay for the undercover rust protection, but only if we sign, that they did no fault. We did not sign. We do undercover rust protection ourselves and drive now this car since 10 years and nearly 220.000 km, without rusting through. What product did you use for the underseal ? I may need to have this done later in the year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should see our haul trucks after 24/7 running on wet mud roads - no damage other than cosmetic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwonitoy Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Odd, my 2013 Ford with 120K km on it is in pristine condition. Go figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My interest was more in underseal in general when living close to the sea (high salt content in the air) - and if 'extra' underseal protection for cars is something which is done in Thailand.

canthai55 Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Cars in Victoria and Vancouver BC - both coastal cities - have many pristine 40 - 50 - 60 year old cars running around since new. Now Ontario - miles from the ocean - rusts cars like nobodies business. So - it is not salt in the air, it is salt on the road which causes the problem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may need to have this done later in the year Sorry for answering late,I saw it in this moment. I can't remember what kind of rust protection it was. It was certainly nothing special, black "color". I took it to a workshop and it was cheap. About 2500 THB, 10 years ago Edited February 14, 2020 by grabue 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alacrity Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 If it's at stock status Ford are responsible and should address accordingly. If not the warranty is void if the contested detail was modified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relative comparisons within those timeframes would show a different perspective for vehicles available in GB. How many Best Car awards were given to Ford within your timeframes for the models you stipulate? Exempting the eco-motors what are/have been the problem motors and why?
