Two giant rust holes on the driver and front passenger floor-boards have developed due to poor materials and design. This is a serious safety concern and shouldn't be overlooked. The rust affects the vehicles crash tolerance, and structural integrity. Nissan…

The clutch pedal lost pressure after idling for over thirty minutes, while in traffic, and after the engine has gotten hot and being driven for a couple of hours. The pedal will fall to the floor and you cannot switch gears. The stick shift won't even move into neutral and the car jerks really hard. It will sometimes cut off in the middle of driving if you don't reach down and pull the pedal up with your hand. This…

I took my car for an alignment, only to be told that the rear sub-frame on my car is bent. Thus, the wheel alignment could not be completed. I was told that the cause was either a rear-end collision, damaged during transport of the vehicle to the dealership, or a manufacturers defect. I cannot say which of the latter two is the cause, but i am most certain that it is not due to the first, a rear-end collision (or…
