Look into the “salt belt”, and the references there regarding anti-lock brake and air bag sensor recalls only from these states: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki

Note that the airbag recall included Utah, while the antilock brake probe did not. Also note that as mentioned, “other states such as … Utah are also considered part of the Salt Belt but use less corrosive substances.”
Did you exclusively drive on salted roads in Utah? There’s also the whole part of the state that is desert. I don’t think it compares to humid coastal states that also receive heavy snowfall and happen to include several huge metropolitan areas, with all the car commuting that entails.
- Kon-Peki 5y agoMy experience is that a large number of gas stations east of the Mississippi have an $8ish car wash that includes an underbody spray when you drive into the wash bay. Just get a few of those every winter, drive slowly when entering the wash bay, and never worry about corrosion.
