Jay, have you removed the rubber trim above and around the door frames ? I had no problems until I checked these unseen areas. However, mine must be one of the earliest in the country as an ex demo and 62 reg. hopefully quality control now better but keep a watchful eye if yours is new.

I could suggest buying enough Dacia Forum stickers to cover up the thin/rusty areas to lighten up the mood a bit

[Jay Duster]

I have and no problems visible.

like hoggm my duster is on a 62 plate and was one of the original right hand drive demo cars in the country,its in marriane blue[call it black]and for all the issues that others unfortuarently are having and not for looking and checking,l can't find any rust anywhere[looked underneath too].10,000 plus miles,no issues[although no alarm fitted as per protection pack armrest instead!!!].

Hi all,

 

Im thinking of buying a duster but really concerned with the rust issues. Has it been confirmed that even the latest dusters are still likely to rust or was it just a bad batch?

 

Thanks!

All i can say is my car (purchased Dec 13) is at the dealership being repaired now. Took a look at a brand new car in the showroom and that has rust on the child locks like mine - put a pic up on the 'do you have a rusty duster' thread. I couldn't look over the rest of the car however so couldn't say what the state of the rest of it was - if i were being optimistic it could be that the doors were part of a different batch maybe??

Late vote, sorry first time I have seen this thread.

 

To date rust on both rear doors, main shell, rear tail gate and under bonnet. What a crock of _ _ _ _ _ this car is!

Did the other member on her that got a refund and left not get a full refund too????? I'm not the only one my dealer is getting refunds for but I assumed all were 100% like they should be!

[tigersaw]

I did have some orangey rust like marks under the bonnet on bolt heads, I just wiped it over with ACF50 and its never come back

I had the paint issue with my Duster but must say Dacia were brilliant its all sorted and I am very pleased with the outcome

[DusterFan]

Just checked our 64 reg Access that we picked up on Wednesday (my wife's car) and we have rust forming between the gutter and b pillar, along the gutters etc, the paint coverage is very poor.

[newduster]

is this a phase 2 duster or a phase 1?

[nilton]

My duster has been back 3 times now found paint peeling of near back door

[Jay Duster]

Mine had the paint check and nothing was found. 31000 miles in all weathers and no problems to date.

Maybe, for once, I have been lucky but I am very pleased with my Duster.

[Lodesman]

I have kept an eye out for rust issues on my Duster (Apr 14) and have never found any after 30.000 miles.

 

After the Dacia Paint Recall I now have a car with a 3 year paint warranty, 7 year corrosion warranty and, in addition to my manufacturers 3 year warranty, a complimentary extra 2 years, giving a 5 year manufacturers warranty.

 

I'm not complaining at all.

[nightsuperstephen]

yet........

Don't put too much faith in those warranty's if I was you

[whereismyduster]

in for second visit to address corrosion issues - 13 plate had since new - diesel 4x4 ambiance
