You need to check the power steering pipe . Our car is under extended warranty and it just corroded through . the car has not even been off road and only done 34k. Warranty does not cover corrosion other than bodywork. Other problem is with the two relays one prevents starting intil several pulls of the starter. you can swop them if you get a problem. The alloy wheels corrode badly.
when you get new front pads, change to Titanium pads from Bendix, the corrosive brake dust will go away. you might also add a dust shield too. J.c. Whitney has a set for $24.
