2012 Nissan Altima body problems

Filed Aug 16, 2026 · Body · NY

Took the car to a repair shop to get an alignment. Was told that the frame rear cross member was so rusty that it needed to be replaced, and that if it broke while driving I would lose control of the car. The component has not been removed from the car. No one else has looked at the car. Only prior warning/message/symptom was uneven rear tire wear first noticed about 6 months prior, but that may have been due to bad rear shocks.

My 2012 nissan altima's sunroof is leaking, whether driving or parked. I have had the drains cleaned, the headliner removed and still have this issue. Upon researching this problem it seems to be a problem on infiniti's and nissan's since 2003. This problem needs to be fixed by nissan, being it's an ongoing issue in all models. I have spent hundred's of dollars trying to have this corrected.
