Hello everyone, Today I was installing mud flaps on my 3 week old 14 F150 when I dropped my socket and had to reach it half way under the truck. I turned my head and saw front right body mount was rusted:



Now that doesn't look like surface rust to me, so it prompt me to look further.




^The white spots is the paint bubbling.


^The rear bumper





Does any of this look normal on a 3 week old truck? I'm in Florida, the only thing would be the beach and I don't live near the beach nor was the dealer where I brought it from.

 

I park in a heated garage in the winter where the snow and salt can do nasty stuff and I don't think my floor boards look that bad...... and mine is a '10

 

That pretty bad on thevunderside of your floor boards! But, the rest looks to be Normal!

 

Humidity and salt are hard on stuff.

Get a coating on it to stop/hold back the process.

 

Some of that, especially the body mount don't look like surface rust to me either, I noticed on mine @ about 500 miles when installing a cat back exhaust.

This is normal.

Loco, I would bring it to your dealer and nicely ask if theyll do some sort of undercoating to help stop it from getting much worse!

 

Had my '14 undercoated at the dealership. During the winter liveing in Missouri. I was the underside of the truck every other day. I have a heated shop, I added a wash bay, lined the walls with metal

 

I understand the drive shaft being normal surface rust. But the trans mount losing paint and carrier bearing?

I didn't take it to the dealer yet about it, but it's already on my list of things that need to be fixed. along with the shake at 65+ (again), right front grinding noise when stopping at low speeds only, clunk when the wheel is full lock turning right at low speeds.

Sigh It only 780 miles on it.

 

Update: Got it to the dealer, their fix was "oil treatment on the rusted areas" Idk if you guys would accept that but kinda disappointing.

 

So they sprayed oil all over the bottom of your truck? I would be very mad....how many miles on it when you purchased just curious.
