    Jeep Grand Cherokee 2013: Is underbody rust normal?

    Jeep Jeep Advice Jeep Grand Cherokee Jeep Grand Cherokee Advice Jeep Grand Cherokee 2013

    I've noticed my new 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee has rust on the underbody, particularly parts of the driveshafts and brakes, etc. The dealer says it's nothing to worry about, it's just surface rust, and all Jeeps have it. I checked another unsold car on their showroom floor and it is the same. Is this normal for a $60,000-plus car, or am I worrying too much?

    Jeeps seem to have suffered from rusty underbodies, even right back to the first ones that came here in the 1990s. It's a crook look, and would bother me, but as long as the underbody itself isn't rusty, you should be ok. If you wanted you could spray it with some rust preventative.
