TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1995 NISSAN PICKUP. THE ENTIRE SUB-FRAME OF THE VEHICLE HAD CORROSION. THE MANUFACTURER REFERRED HER TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER INFORMED THE MANUFACTURER THAT SINCE THE SUB-FRAME FAILED, THE VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER IN A DRIVABLE CONDITION. THE MANUFACTURER CONCLUDED THAT BECAUSE THE WARRANTY EXPIRED SHE WAS INELIGIBLE FOR A FREE REMEDY. TWO YEARS AGO THE FUEL TANK STARTED TO SPILL GAS ONTO THE GROUND. THE DEALER REPLACED THE FUEL TANK AS A FREE REMEDY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000 . THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 105,000. UPDATED 05/12/10

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. *TR

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
