2000 Nissan Pathfinder Brakes Problems

I HEARD A RUBBING SOUND AND THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT BRAKE WAS ACTING UNUSUAL SO I TOOK MY TRUCK TO MY MECHANIC ASSUMING IT NEEDED BRAKES. WHEN THE DRIVER FRONT WHEEL WAS TAKEN OFF IT WAS OVIOUS THAT MY BRAKE PAD WAS FINE. IT WAS NOTED THAT MY TIRES WERE WEARING UNEVENLY AND IT WAS ALSO VERY VERY OVIOUS THAT THE ENTIRE WHEEL WHEEL AREA WAS CORRODED,RUSTED AND MISSING. THERE WAS A EXTREMELY LARGE HOLE BEING THE WHEEL AREA. LOOKING FURTHER IT WAS NOTED THAT THE STEERING COLUMN WAS RUBBING AGAINST A PART OF THE ENGINE AREA. THAT EXPLAINS THE RUBBING SOUND AND DIFFUCULTY TURNING THE WHEEL. IT WAS ALSO NOTED THAT THE SUSPENSION WAS ROTTED AND THAT THE ENGINE MEASURED AROUND 2 INCHES LOWER AS IT WAS LEANING ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. I WAS TOLD BY MY MECHANIC THAT THE DAMAGE WAS SO EXTENSIVE THAT IT COULD NOT BE REPAIRED. THERE WASN'T ANY METAL AVAILABLE UNDER THE TRUCK TO EVEN WELD ANY REINFORCEMENT TO. THE TRUCK WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND TO TAKE IT TO NISSAN. WE NEVER WENT ANY FURTHER WITH AN INSPECTION OF THE PASSENGER SIDE ECT. I DID TAKE IT TO NISSAN IN THE AFTERNOON AND WAS CALLED THE FOLLOWING MORNING AND TOLD MY TRUCK WAS FIXED. I WAS TOLD THEY REPLACED THE STRUT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AND PUT SOME FIBERGLASS UNDERNEATH THE TRUCK. THEY DID SAY THAT IT PASSED THEIR 100 AND SOMETHING POINT SAFETY CHECK. THEY NEVER ADDRESSED ANYTHING ELSE. I HAVE BEEN WITHOUT TRANSPORTATION FOR A WEEK NOW.

WHILE DRIVING MY SUV I HEARD A LOUD BANG, INMEDIATELLY AFTER THAT, THE SUV TURNED ABRUPTLY TO THE RIGHT. I TRIED TO MAINTAIN ON MY LANE BUT IT WAS USELESS. THE VEHICLE KEPT TURNING RIGHT. I PRESSED THE BRAKES, AND THEN THE VEHICLE SKIDDED ON THE WET PAVEMENT SLAMMING THE VEHICLE AGAINST THE BRIDGES WALL. THE VEHICLE HIT AGAINST THE WALL WITH THE REAR RIGHT SIDE OF IT. THEN IT SLOWED DOWN. THERE WERE NO FLAT TIRES. THE REAR AXLE SHIFTED TO THE LEFT DUE TO THE CRASH. OTHER PARTS WHERE DAMAGED. I GUESS THE CRASH WAS DUE TO THE FRONT RIGHT LOWER CONTROL ARM BECAUSE IT WAS LOOSE AND BROKEN. I HAD NO PROBLEMS BEFORE WITH THIS VEHICLE. IT DID NOT GAVE ANY SIGNS OF WEAR, NEITHER MADE STRANGE SOUNDS SO ONE COULD TAKE IT FOR A PREVENTIVE CHECK. THIS VEHICLE (NISSAN PATHFINDER 2000) IS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD!!!*AK
