P.S. Undercoating vehicles used to be almost a necessity and I had a new 1980 Dodge van completely sealed by 'Ziebart'. That required removing every piece of trim, the seats and the carpeting that wasn't clued to the floor, then drilling access holes in the pillars and other parts of the frame to inject their sealant. The van dripped sealant for days, even after re-assembly, but many years later when we sold it there still wasn't a trace of rust.
Hard to imagine needing to do that now ... much less me actually doing it!

I am as pissed as the OP
I got my Lexus GX460 2011 5 months ago and only 2700 miles on it. I am already getting those damn rust on the axis.
This is really unacceptable.
Here is the picture of the damn rusts.

Anyone know any easy fix to this small rusts?
This will be my last Lexus.

complain to lexus thats what i did and it will be going to litigation if its not fixed. the 4runners have it too, but thats ok, because toyota is not the pursuit of pefection like lexus...
the rust on the front is ok as its on the bare metal ends, its the rear axle housing thats got me because they were in fact painted and still have rust developing. the hubs also should of been painted but werent if i remember correctly...
there are 2 products out there. boeshield and fluidfilm. check it out

Are boeshield and fluidfilm just spray-ons or something?

Yeah, what the hell is happening to Lexus quality?
I'm waiting for 2012 LX and will try to make a "switch"
But if LX develops any problems that's it, I will never go back to them again.

I'm not convinced there is a potential rust problem, but coating the underside of the vehicle is likely to create the problem! Unless the vehicle is new, unrusted and bone dry, a rubber coating will hold moisture in contact with the metal frame. That could cause more problems than it prevents.
