Electric Sleigh Posted April 7, 2023 Report Share Posted April 7, 2023 Was shopping a used 2017 C-Max Energi ~40,000mi. Saw what must have been a bit of corrosion under the carpeting in the trunk. Wasn't able to actually see the battery since it needs some tools to open up. Does this look like something that would be a problem? My older hybrid never had anything like this. I can't get an image to attach for some reason, but here is a picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam1991 Posted April 11, 2023 Report Share Posted April 11, 2023 With all the bad rains, hurricanes, and flooding that's been around lately, my guess is that was a flooded car. The first 2016 we saw nearby here had weird rust in weird places; this was in late December/early January, and eventually it became clear to me that the sole explanation for some of it was that the car spent time under water. Plus, the price was just a tad cheaper than anyone else's. I knew right away they were looking to dump it. Yours could have been something else, but you'll never know. You don't have to take the chance. Run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
