| Description of the problem | I am writing due to the fact i took my 2004 nissan quest into the shop today because of a loose steering wheel and a horrible clunking noise coming from the front right side. My van only has 97,000 miles on it and has been taken care of very well. The mechanic told me the the subframe is basically rotting away and is the worst he has seen in 50 years of work. I've read numerous accounts online of other who have had this same issue. I feel like nissan should help cover the cost of my repairs due to poor manufacturing and poor quality of parts. I am very unhappy and will be sharing my story with whoever i can share it with. I will include a link with a site with many complaints from other owners of this same vehicle. Please help me out. This is a big issue because my wife and three children ride in this vehicle daily. Https://www. Carcomplaints. Com/nissan/quest/2004/body_paint/rotting_subframe. Shtml |
