Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2001 NISSAN PATHFINDER. IT RECENTLY DEVELOPED STEERING ISSUES AFTER HITTING A SMALL POTHOLE. MY MECHANIC INFORMED ME THE ENTIRE LEFT WHEEL WELL WAS ROTTED OUT AND THAT I SHOULD NOT DRIVE THE CAR ON THE HIGHWAY AS THE WHEEL MIGHT COLLAPSE. AFTER THEN TAKING THE CAR TO A BODY SHOP FOR A REPAIR ESTIMATE, I WAS TOLD THIS WAS THE 3RD TIME HE HAD SEEN THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM, WITH A 1999-2001 PATHFINDER. RESEARCHING ON LINE I FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THE SAME ISSUE. REPAIR ESTIMATE WAS 2000.00. MECHANIC AT BODY SHOP ALSO STATED NOT TO DRIVE CAR ON HIGHWAY AS RESULTS COULD BE FATAL. REPAIR WILL INVOLVE REMOVING ENGINE COMPONENTS,BUMPER AND REPLACING WHEEL WELL HOUSING, THEN WELDING A REINFORCEMENT BRACE. *TR
