| Description of the problem | My complaints is due to the cheap steal that nissan uses to build there vehicles just to save a buck. When i take my car in for an inspection and it failed because the passenger side floor panel has holes in the the floor that you could step right trhu. That is not the only rot from rust the frame of the vehicle up front has rotted so bad that the part of the frame that holds the motor in the vehicle has rotted so bad that the inspector was worried about me driving home after i had failed the inspection. This was discovered by a mechanic that was going to fix my exhaust up front. I am a disabled veteran and this car with a real frame on it would have lasted many more years and i just do not have the funds to run out and buy a new car. This is the manufactures fault and they should be paying for it to be fixed. Sounds like the same problem that they had on all of those pickups that they had to fix. What is this going to that the motor to fall out on the high way and kill someone. This is and has been a big problem with this company going on for years. Someone do something for the consumer. After paying $40,000. 00 dollars for this car i thought i would get more out of it than having it rot out from under me. |
