- Structure › Body
The passenger floorboard has rusted out leaving a 12" x 10" hole right in the area that you would step into the car. since this IS the area that IS regularly inspected due to the location of the oil filter, hard to believe that this wasn't detected previously to just falling out.

Floor boards under the driver & passenger seats completely rusted out. can see & feel the carpet from underneath the car. if you step too hard on the floor from the inside, you foot would go through and you would touch the ground.

For the 2ND time car running very rough and stalling. Had it serviced seems the spark plugs were destroyed and not functioning. Paid over $500 for mechanic to put in new plugs now it happened again. Seems there IS a voluntary service campaign qr25de power valve. Campaign ID p5202. A bolt from manifold IS falling into cylinder and blowing out spark plug and causing internal engine damage, my mechanic put camera in cylinder. Car IS running but it has already happened to cylinder 1 and 4. Next time my 22 year old daughter may not be so lucky on her highway commute. Hopefully the local nissan dealer can rectify problem before the problem becomes more serious. The engine light came on that says to service engine soon, it IS still on...from what I have found online sounds like power valve screws are coming out and creating engine damage.

Rust on floorboard requiring replacement of floorboard. minor rust was observed via inspection when underneath the car; however, once the seat was removed, the shop indicated the problem was much worse, because the rust IS occurring from the inside. this IS not typical rust due to salt, etc.

Rear suspension bushings & takata recall the car slips in the rear wheels similar to "fish-tailing" in snow. nissan offered a recall in 2006 to replace parts on rear suspension system without notifying me until 2015, months before the recall expired. Notices never contained any notification of any expiration date. After hours of customer service claimed there was never a recall; then yes there was a recall that I had replaced in 2007; then claiming the work was completed in 2014, they finally agreed to having the car inspected regarding this recall. the dealership at woodfield nissan claimed that my car was "unsafe to drive" and listed every other part of my suspension that needed to be replaced other than the main one in the recall. A service order was created that the dealership refused to give me when the service manager lost his temper and got physically intimidating towards me. My wife and I are frightened to ever go to this dealership due to this. Now I am driving an "unsafe to drive" vehicle that nissan left me without any paperwork to advise me what IS unsafe about it. after asking nissan corporation to step in, as well as bbb & il a.g. Reports were filed, no one to date has given me documentation regarding this inspection. This dealership's owner also owns the other dealership near me and my wife where we are no longer welcomed. This, and the fact that the corporation refuses to help resolve this, makes it impossible for us to have the takata recall work completed without going thru further stress with nissan and local dealerships. That IS very unethical, if not illegal.
