New here 1st post,

I was working in the garage the other day when I dropped something and as lucky as I am it rolled under my Versa. When went to get I notice rip in the metal undercarriage (about 14 to 16 inches in just about equal to where the driver side door mounts). Looks like it is where they chain the car down for transporting. Should take it to the dealer and let them know or just ignore it for now.

Thanx, MaTiX

Holy Christ! Get that thing to the dealer post-haste! A torn floor pan or rocker panel will cause that thing to rust faster than a Hyundai at the bottom of the Atlantic (sorry EV).

The dealer is responsible for failing to notice the damage during PDI. Unless you drove over a table saw that was running. How long ago did you buy this car? was it new or used?

Shrug... Anything will rust at the bottom of the Atlantic, so I'll just pretend you said some other name.

I could've just said "it'll rust like a Subaru in New England" but what would be the fun in that?

It would be sadly accurate.
