I sent a letter to Ford along with a full package of photos of the rusted axle on my 2010 GT500. Here is the response I received from Ford. I have forwarded Ford's response along with the photos to Edmunds, Consumer Reports, car and Driver Magazine, Motor trend, Mustang News and everyone else. I also included a complete set of photos of the underside of the new camaro.:

Hi Steve - I was forward some communication that you sent to Ford regarding your GT500 axle. I have some more information regarding this topic.
Specifically, we are currently testing painted axles and will be switching over to painted axles soon (likely this fall timeframe) once the testing is successfully completed. Please let me know if you have already painted your axle. If not we can touch base with you when we go live with this change and see how we can get you an updated axle.
Thanks,
