Rear corrosion

Recommended Posts

Hi, anyone noticing a high incidence of corrosion on 2010 FFH on the lower frame in front of the rear wheel wells as well as the rearward exhaust shield fasteners? Both my frame sides are rusting and I just had to fix the heat shield.

Yes, on the passenger side lower frame (rocker arm?) in front of rear wheel well, the paint there is bubbling.

Got an estimate for this 'rocker panel' repair at $1,700 and does not include a warranty as its likely to return.  Sad, its such an otherwise good car.

There is a lot of discussion on the FordFusionForum  dot com about this same issue. See the 2010-2012 Ford Fusion>Rust Database. I posted pics using my same user name. There are also youtube videos. It's pretty bad on a lot of cars. I think it's the air deflector causing the issue. I removed it (the air deflector), cleaned it out as much as possible, re-painted it, and I also injected Liquid Film (details on other post). The longer you wait, the worse it gets.

typos; "dam" to "deflector"
