The entire undercarriage and frame is rusted out. I have had to replace the gasoline lines, the brake lines and the power steering lines. The frame is totally rusted out and can not pass inspection. Every component under the vehicle is dangerously rusted and frail. Both front and rear bumpers are also falling off. Also everything in the front of the vehicle is disintegrating. I have called numerous agencies, including nissan, both dealerships and their headquarters, inquiring about recalls due to the rusted out frame issues and get nowhere. They deny any problem exists. I understand that toyota has acknowledged a similar issue and has taken extreme actions to buy back or repair the affected vehicles.
