Rust territory

I'M RESPONDING to your call for Ford Territory owners to contact you regarding their experience with rust. I am the second owner of a 2004-built Territory, which has rust everywhere. I bought it knowing there was some rust, because it came from a coastal town, but the price was extremely good so I decided to clean it up myself. Now that I've had a chance to look really carefully at it, I'm pretty stunned by how many areas of the car have rusted: the wheels, engine bay/bonnet underside, tailgate, wheel arches, doors and floor pans. In comparison, my 1998 VT Holden Berlina has no rust evident anywhere. I will take it up with Ford, and I'll keep you posted on its response.
