I bought my 2018 Trax LT last Monday. During the sales process a finance guy stated that Chevrolet no longer undercoats their new vehicles. He stated that the undercoat eventually cracks and holds moisture against the metal causing rust. The very rust that it is supposed to protect against. I am familiar with that reasoning and believe it to be true. I was surprised to hear it from this sales guy however.
So what is protecting my new Trax? Nothing? Is that why he attempted to sell me that electronic rust stopping gizmo for $1100.00? That gizmo didn't stop the rear subframe on my 2005 Pontiac Vibe AWD from rusting away. I was not tempted to buy another one.
So I ask again. What is under there protecting my Trax undercarriage from the road salt and brine of the Northeast? Any Northeast or Midwest owners here? What did you do?
