What to do if the exhaust pipe of a new car is severely rusted and cannot be claimed in another location?

If the vehicle was purchased from an authorized 4S store or manufacturer, and the vehicle malfunction is not caused by external factors, with complete maintenance records and within the warranty period, you can apply for nationwide warranty service. Usually, in the vehicle warranty manual, the car manufacturer promises that the vehicle's design and manufacturing have anti-corrosion performance. Now, during the warranty period, the large-scale rusting of the exhaust pipe indicates that the exhaust pipe has not met its designed performance and has quality defects. Once the warranty expires, replacing the exhaust pipe will incur high costs. To prevent the exhaust pipe from rusting, you can take the following three measures: 1. Pay attention to the choice of driving conditions. For example, try to choose better road conditions such as avoiding salt-alkali land or muddy roads, and clean it promptly. 2. Choose the parking spot carefully. It is best not to park outdoors, especially at night, as dew is likely to condense on the exhaust pipe, slowly causing corrosion. Therefore, it is best to park in an underground garage if available. 3. Try to avoid short-distance driving. During short-distance driving, the water in the exhaust pipe is not discharged in time, making the exhaust pipe prone to oxidation. It is best to drain the accumulated water in the exhaust pipe before parking and turning off the engine.
