Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)I had a 2006 Nissan Pathfinder that was “bought back” by Nissan after 6 years of use because of a “rusted frame” and now once again I have a 2010 Nissan Pathfinder, where the rear sub-frame rusted through and caused the wheel to give out and track wrong -causing a life-or-death situation. I do not need an independent or dealer to confirm, it is obvious. There was no prior warning, thank God I was not on a turnpike going fast! I went on line an evidently other Pathfinder owners have had experience the same issue of a rusted sub-frame holding the rear wheels on the vehicle. I think the NTSA is well aware of the problem concerning this issue with Nissan and should take action to have this corrected. Other Nissan owners have complained. Nissan sells the sub-frame for about 1000.00. Nissan warranty should have covered the problem being they specifically went full on body frame, because of the rust & recall of the prior generation Nissan Pathfinder - which was a unibody. Full on frame was to get owners back.
I RECENTLY FOUND OUT THAT THE SHOCK/STRUT ASSEMBLY ON MY VEHICLE WAS FAULTY RESULTING IN A MAJOR OVERHAUL OF THE REAR OE SPECTRUM SHOCK AND FRONT OE SPECTRUM STRUT IN THE AMOUNT OF $850.00. THIS HAS CAUSED MY WHEELS TO "CUP" WHICH IS RESULTING IN A NEED FOR A COMPLETE SET OF NEW TIRES. *TR
