Is Changan CS75 Chassis Rusting Common?
2 Answers
Changan CS75 chassis rusting is not common. Modern vehicles come equipped with underbody armor coating from the factory, which prevents rust under normal conditions without impacts. If an impact occurs, inspect whether the underbody armor has been damaged. If it has, reapply the coating as soon as possible. Below are relevant details: 1. Frequently parking the car in damp, dark, or acid rain-prone areas can easily lead to corrosion of the car's chassis due to the humid environment. 2. Additionally, if the car's metal surface is exposed after a scrape and remains unpainted, rust can spread across the entire body. 3. Advanced processing techniques can protect the chassis from rust for an extended period, such as using galvanized steel plates, all-aluminum materials, high-strength composites, or automotive carbon fiber. 4. The original car chassis usually has a layer of anti-rust coating, but impacts or oxidation during use can still cause rust.
I've seen quite a few feedbacks from Changan CS75 owners, especially in northern or humid coastal areas, where chassis rust is quite common. Several friends of mine have experienced similar issues, mainly because the factory anti-rust coating might not be thick enough, coupled with accumulated water from rain, snow, and mud in daily use, which accelerates the corrosion process. Over time, small components like screws start to rust first, and if left untreated, it can affect the overall structural safety. It's recommended that owners regularly inspect the chassis, especially after rain, rinse the chassis more during car washes, or apply additional anti-rust agents as a preventive measure, rather than waiting until repairs become costly and time-consuming. Overall, domestic cars still have room for improvement in this aspect of craftsmanship, but consistent maintenance can help mitigate the problem.
