NHTSA Complaint #10462827 — 2000 INFINITI QX4

UNUSUALLY HIGH AMOUNT OF, RUST & CORROSION (LARGE ROTTED OUT HOLES) ON EXTERIOR FRONT FENDERS, BOTH DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER. I BELEIVE IT IS RELATED TO MOST RECENT RECAL IN REGARDS TO FRONT WHEEL WELLS IN HIGH SALT LOCATIONS OF THE COUNTRY. DEALER WOULD NOT FIX THE RUST, WHEN I WENT IN FOR THAT RECALL. NO OTHER RUST ON VEHICLE, ONLY THOSE AREAS OF FRONT FENDERS, WHICH HAPPEN TO BE RIGHT NEXT TO DEFECTIVE WHEELS WELL / STRUT HOUSING AREA, THAT WAS THE REASON FOR THE MOST RECENT RECALL! THE RUST / CORROSION, IS ON THE IDENTICAL LOCATION ON EACH FENDER! I AM NO EXPERT, BUT BASED ON THE EXTREME AMOUNT OF BUBBLING OF THE PAINT IT IS OBVIOUS THE CORROSION STARTED ON THE UNDERSIDE OF BOTH FENDERS AND WORKED ITS WAY OUT TO THE EXTERIOR. *TT
