I don't know that if this is the right place I need to be, but my SUV has quite a bit of rust underneath and in the wheels, I can scratch some off with chipping coming off, I have met with the dealership and the Ford rep, they say I have surface rust and it won't rust threw the steel, in my life time, and I am unease about that, my seat belts have a smell to them and I feel like it has had some water damaged to it, but I do not feel safe in it, they have had to replace gaskets, oil pan, crankshaft rear seal, and rear main seal, and it is in the shop now for a poping sound. I need to know what I can do next to get this matter taken care of, I have never seen this much rust, can you please help me, and give me the right direction to go now. I thank you so much.
