We all want a reliable car. We read the reviews, check the engine specs, and look at the mileage ratings. But there is a silent killer that most car reviews ignore until it is too late: rust. You might have an engine that can run for 300,000 miles, but if the frame dissolves at 100,000 miles, that car is totaled. Mechanics in the “Rust Belt” (the Midwest and Northeast) see a different side of car brands than the rest of the country. They see which vehicles crumble under the assault of road salt and winter moisture. We are going to expose the four brands that mechanics consistently flag for premature corrosion. These cars might look great on the lot, but underneath, they are prone to severe oxidation in snowy climates.
