Consumer Description

DURING ROUTINE INSPECTION AT NISSAN DEALERSHIP TECHNICIAN DISCOVERED THAT THE STUCTURAL SUPPORT FOR THE RADIATOR WAS ROTTED. THE STRUCTURAL SUPPORT ALSO SUPPORTS THE ENGINE. DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND REQUIRES IMMEDIATE ATTENTION. THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE ENGINE MOUNT IS COMPROMISED. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON DEFECT, AS I OBSERVED AT LEAST 5 OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS POSTED ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE. OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES SHOULD BE NOTIFIED OF THIS DANGEROUS CONDITION.
