Corrosion is undetectable by normal inspection because manufacturer uses a heavy, rubberized coating on underbody parts. Car was traveling at low speed so damage was minimal. At higher speeds, consequences could be severe. Investigation reveals that this is becoming a fairly common occurrence on mercedes benz w202 and w210 chassis. …”
