Pathfinder 6-cyl

Nissan is claiming that NHTSA campaign number: 11V244000 was already addressed on my vehicle. I took my car into the dealership several years ago for a recall but they never fixed this recall because they were too busy. When I call Nissan right now they are claiming it was fixed already. This was never fixed and my vehicle is exhibiting the exact issues outlined in the recall. My VIN# [xxx]. I am requesting Nissan to fix this issue per the recall. Information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

While driving 2003 Nissan Pathfinder I hit pothole on a city street, heard loud bang, shortly after completely lost all braking abilities, upon bringing my vehicle home and examining I notice the right front strut housing had separated from frame snapping the brake line on the right front. Appears to be the same corrosion issue as the recall on the left front strut housing.

The floorboards on the drivers side have standing water. When it rains the car floods. When driving the vehicle when the vehicle stops there is water that drips on the drivers left foot. I have brought it to the local dealer twice and they admit both times there is standing water but do not fix it.

The body is rusting, my gas gauge is not accurate, suspension is falling away from the truck. I loved this truck and have had since 2008 but now I am in fear to drive it. I see numerous complaints for these issues but the mechanics just say it's normal wear and tear. I only drive 5 -10 minutes to work and home. *(
