Nissan is claiming that the federal safety agency campaign number: 11v244000 was already addressed on my vehicle. I took my car into the dealership several years ago for a recall but they never fixed this recall because they were too busy. When I call nissan right now they are claiming it was fixed already. This was never fixed and my vehicle is exhibiting the exact issues outlined in the recall. My VIN# [xxx]. I am requesting nissan to fix this issue per the recall. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

The floorboards on the drivers side have standing water. When it rains the car floods. When driving the vehicle when the vehicle stops there is water that drips on the drivers left foot. I have brought it to the local dealer twice and they admit both times there is standing water but do not fix it.

The body is rusting , my gas gauge is not accurate, suspension is falling away from the truck. I loved this truck and have had since 2008 but now I am in fear to drive it. I see numerous complaints for these issues but the mechanics just say it's normal wear and tear. I only drive 5 -10 minutes to work and home. *(

I was driving about 30 miles per hour when the rear bumper fell off. After further inspection, I notice the frames were almost completely rusted away and everything that is connected to it is in danger of falling off as well including the front bumper that is about to fall off at anytime. I am not a mechanic, but I am sure it is not at all safe driving this vehicle. Every time I get behind the wheel, I fear something terrible is about to happen.

The passenger side exhaust system separated (rusted completely through) at the muffler assembly. This will be the 3rd exhaust system on the car. The first one was replaced while under warrantee because of a co2 canister failure.

There was a recall on the driver side strut tower due to server rusting. The dealership repaired that area. I was hearing a noise from the front right passenger side and found out that the rust had damage to that strut tower. My ABS and brake lights finally come on and I had s lost of brake fluid. The strut tower colapse severing the right front brake line. The dealer inspected it and said that they would not repair this. I,m not sure why the left front strut tower would be covered and the right front in not. I had leased this vehical and when the lease expired we purchased the car outright. We heard about the recall when I had one remaining payment on the car. Now with the car paid in full it is no longer safe to drive.
