 I purchased a 2010 subaru outback from ira subaru in danvers, ma in january, 2010. several weeks ago, i discovered the frame around the engine was rusted. this car is brand new. i recently brought this to the attention of ira subaru. they said it's fine, and it just needs to be treated with a special spray, and that's all they did. is this safe? why was my 2010 subaru already rusting? the cars that wcvb tv in boston highlighted last night all seemed to be japanese. please advise. my car has just 3,800 miles on it. thank you. *tr
