NOTHING HAPPENED TO ME YET. BUT I'VE BEEN READING REPORTS OF THIS FRAME RUST THE SAME WAY IN OTHER TRUCKS. I THINK THERE'S INTEGRITY ISSUE WITH THE FRAME NISSAN MADE. THE REST OF MY TRUCK IS FLAWLESS NO BODY RUST. WAS THERE A RECALL PUT OUT I JUST HAVEN'T HEARD OF IT? I JUST WANT TO REPORT IT TO MAKE SURE THAT NISSAN MIGHT BE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. *TR

STRUCTURE

THE STRUCTURAL FRAME OF THE TRUCK IS ROTTING OUT IN VARYING DEGREES THROUGHOUT THE TRUCK. CREATES A SAFETY ISSUE IF IN A VEHICLE ACCIDENT THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE TRUCK MAY FAIL AND CAUSE A GREAT DEAL OF INJURY TO THE OCCUPANTS OF THE VEHICLE. THE ROTTING WAS NOT NOTICED (ALTHOUGH IT WAS FREQUENTLY CHECKED FOR) UNTIL THE FRAME LITERALLY CRACKED OPEN WHILE IT WAS SITTING IN THE GARAGE. *TR
