I'm sure the salt is a major factor. But all of my other vehicles are the same age or older. I have had others as well that went many more years without showing anything. I'm guessing its a combination of inadequate pre-treatment and not enough paint.

I have an 08 Edge Limited purchased new and noticed rust on the rolled edge of the passenger rear door a few weeks ago. I've got one payment left on the 72 month financing. This week I washed it and noticed a small bump on the outside of the front edge of the hood. I popped the hood and noticed the underside of the front edge has a lot of rust showing. Very disppointing. I also have an 08 Infiniti G35x and there is nothing like this. Also have an 04 Volvo S60 with 170K miles that has a few dents but no rust. I really thought the US manufacturers had kicked this problem, but it seems some old bean counter habits are still there. I have not talked to my dealer yet but it really makes me think twice about another Ford. Too bad because it's been an excellent vehicle othewise.
