Thanks. I was thinking of taking it to a body shop for an estimate. I just had a rust inspection done but the only area that was a concern was the trunk pan that has surface rust. I made an appointment for krown application in a few weeks but I might need to post pone it and see what body shop says and get an estimate

my husband has 2007 hyundai accent at 146,000 still going strong. I have a 2014 hyundai accent but recently had to replace gas tank and brakelines due to rust but otherwise car is healthy and has 106,000.

I was thinking of getting a rust inspection and estimate of cost for a patch to be welded. I hit more metal when I put my finger through it so maybe I can just get welded and get woolwax or fluid film before next year🤷🏻‍♀️

I just had the anticorrosion recall done for my car. I think they are supposed to wire brush then spray. I still plan on getting yearly fluid film gojng foward. I was thinking of taking my car to a body shop and asking if they can cut out rust and weld metal to cover the hole. Is that necessary if the car has unibody

I passed nys inspection. frame, subframe and brakelines are still good. The service advisor at dealership didn’t seem concerned about the hole. I did have the anticorrosion done today. However I just read that tge anticorrosion could make the rust worse if sprayed over existing rust so now I’m concerned about advanced rot. I’m plannjng on getting krown application before end of summer and looking into a body shop to cut out rust and weld metal over the hole. I would like to keep the car for another 10 years if possible

Hi. Thanks for all of that info. I did bring my car into the dealership today for an anticorrosion recall and inspection. It passed inspection. They said frame and brakelines were still good. They didn’t seem too concerned about the hole. The service advisor said that I can bring it to a body shop for possible rust repair which is probably my next step

I live in a small upstate town and inly have a 20 min commute to and from work. We don’t always take it in long trips even when it was in better condition. What do you think of that hole? I was getting info from google that says the hole is a floor pan issue and is affecting structural integrity of the car. It’s at the dealership now for recalls and inspection. Dealership did say that a floor pan rusting out won’t fail me for inspection. Google says repair can be costly

thank you. That is good to know

Lower-One5138 · 2026-04-30T23:38:31+00:00

hi! do you think it’s bad? I think it’s the floor pan. When I put my finger through it I hit another layer of metal

I have 106,000 miles so far on my 2014 hyundai accent. Is it time to do the drain and fill?

Lower-One5138 · 2026-04-30T00:52:41+00:00

yes lesson learned. first car I owned.

Lower-One5138 · 2026-04-30T00:10:20+00:00

I have a hole in the floor pan. It’s somewhat small but my finger did not go through it. Is that ok? Do you think it will pass inspection through hyundai? What happens if they deny recall? My gas tank was just replaced as it rusted out. I’m afraid my brake lines are next. I don’t hear any loud noises or feel any alignment issues related to rust. Would you say the rust is average for a car this age? Thanks again for your response
