I brought it to my mechanic we looked at the frame under the cars front end it is clucking there is excessive rust, perforated steel and disconnected from other parts very dangerous. I bought this car new from smithtown nissian in 2002 I am the original owner. I called smithtown Nissan they said they have recalls for this but my VIN# car is not affected I read the recall notice R1107 it states im high salt areas and New York is one of them for this type of problem. The manufacturer should be liable.

Nissan repaired strut housing under recall. Their " band-aid " of a repair is failing. Contacted Nissan and was told they did what was required. Housing repair is coming apart and brake line pulling away. Was told buy a new vehicle. Why should I when mine runs perfectly fine. But now its unsafe. So unhappy with their response.

The frame on these Pathfinders are rusting and show rot that is not except able or safe my vehicle will not pass inspection because the frame is rotted.I believe these should be recalled as the more I search online the more I see other owners going through the same thing.Nissan needs to be held responsible for this defect.

Strut tower rust damage, my Pathfinder started having that noise coming from the steering column during motion. After a quick inspection at the dealership we realized there was a big gap under the strut towers in both sides, and that there was already a recall, but the recall does not includes to replace the strut column, just a cheap, glued-bolted strip of metal they call a bracket that does not even covers the gap. The "fix" used in recall nhsta id: 11V-244 is totally inadecuate for vehicles in which corrosion has take all the base of the strut tower and the tower is already touching the steering column. To elaborate imagine a gap 3 inches high and 12 inches long; two of the 3 inches in heigh were created by material that rusted and fell apart an only one inch if bent displacement. If as the instructions of the recall indicate, the strut tower must be bent back to original position, the gap will be reduced only the one inch that correspond to displacement leavin a 12 by 2 inches gap due to corrosion and it is here, where the recall solution indicates that a trip of steel should be bolted/glued to. The 4-5 inch strip(repair bracket) will be lay in cross position perpendicular to the rusted gap, leaving about 3 inches of the rusted gap exposed to each side. Just like a band aid stick across a big wound. This is not a long term fix, the bracket will fail as well or will detach from the rusted surfaces where it was installed.

Brought vehicle in for repair due to an issue with the steering. Apparently my vehicle has also been affected by the same rust/corrosion problem as previously recalled under recall 11V244000 and 11V244000 although these are not listed with my VIN. Vehicle is unsafe to drive.

Regarding recall R1107 for deteriorated chassis of engine compartment. On 4/2/14 premium Nissan of new rochelle attempted to remedy issue of vehicle that has not met safety standards by personal and professional inspection. Basically the engine compartment is held up with bondo, which is stated on dealership service order. The meshing and fiberglass patch will not hold up to the slightest of front end obstruction, causing sever damage and just driving it in the current condition is extremely hazardous to me, my wife and two young girls. I have documentation of the service order from premium and other licensed mechanics that have worked with this recall in the past, along with photos. I am requesting a buyback offer similar to other related cases. Thanks.
