TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1995 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HAVING THE VEHICLE INSPECTED BY AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP, HE WAS INFORMED THAT PORTIONS OF THE FRAME WERE RUSTED AND CORRODED. THE CORRODED PORTIONS OF THE FRAME WERE REPAIRED. THE FAILURE HAD SINCE RECURRED ON VARIOUS OTHER PORTIONS OF THE FRAME. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES, BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

THE ENTIRE FRAME OF THIS VEHICLE IS SO ROTTED THAT MY MECHANIC TOLD ME NOT TO DRIVE IT. NISSAN OF NORTH AMERICA HAD ME BRING IT TO ONE OF THEIR DEALERSHIPS TO INSPECT IT. THEY TOOK PHOTOS OF THE PROBLEM AND TOLD ME IT WAS UNFIXABLE. THEY THEN TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVE NOT ENCOUNTERED OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I WENT ON LINE AND READ THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT PATHFINDER FRAME ROT. *TR

I HAVE A 1995 NISSAN PATHFINDER. I DISCOVERED SEVERE FRAME RUST A LITTLE OVER A WEEK AGO BOTH BELOW MY REAR SEAT WHICH COVERS TWO AREAS. JUST YESTERDAY I ALSO DISCOVERED FROM RUST BEHIND THE RIGHT REAR TIRE. WHY IS IT THAT VISUALLY FROM THE OUTSIDE THE CAR LOOKS GREAT, IT RUNS GREAT, BUT THE THING IS FALLING APART WHERE YOU CAN'T SEE IT? THAT TO ME IS DANGEROUS AND I THINK IT'S ABOUT TIME NISSAN TAKES CARE OF THIS PROBLEM. THIS COULD BE A REAL SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

I FIRST NOTICED THAT THE FRAME ON MY CAR HAS RUSTING AWAY A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO. NOW, THE REAR OF THE FRAME ON BOTH SIDES IS 50% GONE! THE FRONT FRAME ON BOTH SIDES HAS RUSTED THROUGH AT THE WHEEL WELL. THERE IS EXTENSIVE RUST ON THE ENTIRE FRAME. THE CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENT AND I HAVE KEPT IT IN THE GARAGE IT'S ENTIRE LIFE. I HAD IT DETAILED EVERY SPRING AND EVERY FALL. I CALLED NISSAN TO COMPLAIN AND THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD DO NOTHING SINCE MY CAR WAS SO OLD. I PURCHASED THIS CAR NEW AND PURCHASED EXTENDED WARRANTY OF 6 YEARS OR 100,000 MILES. IT HAS LESS THAN 94,000 MILES ON IT NOW. I FEEL THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I STRONGLY FEEL NISSAN IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS DEFECT AND SHOULD MAKE SOME EFFORT TO RECTIFY THIS MATTER WITH ME. THE FIRST MUFFLER ON THIS CAR OUTLASTED THE FRAME. *TR

WHEN I WENT TO CHANGE MY BRAKES ON OUR NISSAN PATHFINDER I SAW THAT THE ENTIRE FRAME WAS COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT AND FULL OF HOLES, THE GAS TANK AND REAR END HAVE FALLEN DOWN AND ARE HANGING ON BY THE FRAME. THIS VEHICLE WAS USED FOR THE TRANSPORTATION OF MY FAMILY, AND I WAS TOLD BY AN ENGINEER THAT WE ARE VERY FORTUNATE TO BE ALIVE, AND VERY FORTUNATE THAT WE DID NOT KILL ANY INNOCENT PEOPLE. THERE HAS TO BE A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE. WHAT KIND OF COUNTRY DO WE LIVE IN THAT PUTS THE LIVES OF ITS CITIZENS IN DANGER FOR A CAR COMPANY? I PRAY NOT THIS ONE, PLEASE ACT. *TR
