  I am writing you with a concern regarding a serious problem with my 1992 nissan NX which I bought new in 1991. last friday I was riding on the belt parkway in brooklyn when another driver drove up alongside me to tell me that my spare tire had just fallen out of my trunk. I was completely startled as there could have been some major accidents. I pulled my car over and opened the trunk and found that the whole trunk had rusted through. I was pretty shook up as I contemplated how lucky I was that there was no accidents. I then became very angry when I searched the web and discovered that many other nissan nx's were encountering the same problem. I did have a prblem with my catalytic converter rusting away a few years ago but did not realize the extent of the problem. I had no reason to check the wheel well under the spare tire when I checked the spare tire. I can also send you pictures of the damage if that will help you understand the seriousness of this problem. *tr
