Brand new 2018 Mazda CX 5 came with rusted ball joints and tie rod ends. If you look under this car you can clearly see where Mazda has painted over rusted parts, because you can see perfectly round outlines where the parts were being held up by something and sprayed. Where they were held onto didn't get sprayed so it is total rust showing on all these different places. Not scratch marks, perfectly round and completely rusted.

I am concerned because I read that Mazda has had to recall hundreds of thousands of their vehicles due to rusted ball joints , suspension parts because they break and people can not control their car when they do. Also they can break without any warning - it has happened to some people when they just hit a pot hole. Dangerous when you live in California cuz there are a lot of pot holes.

Again Mazda acts like it is OK for them to put rusted parts on their vehicles and sell them like that knowing that those parts are weaker and not safe. They have had lots of problems with rust in the past, you would think they would start putting the rust coating on before things get rusted not after they are already are rusted. Once again showing their lack of concern for the people who unknowingly buy their vehicles.

Take a look under your car -see if you can see what I am talking about. I know you will and please post when you do. Shame on Mazda.
