| Description of the problem | While having minor cosmetic repairs done, our [reputable] body shop repairman pointed out that the front radiator support frame is completely rusted through. Everything else on this truck is solid. I am meticulous about it. There is obviously some sort of defect on this area for it to be 90% deteriorated! The slightest touch causes it to crumble... In the past, even toyota has stood behind their vehicles with corrosion issues... I would certainly hope nissan could look into this the same way... Its a real shame that i can only see another year maybe before my radiator falls out and causes something much worse... |
