NHTSA Complaint #10820803 — 2008 NISSAN MAXIMA

BROUGHT MY 2008 NISSAN MAXIMA IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND NOTICED EXTREME RUST UNDER THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT. THE REST OF THE CAR IS SPOTLESS UNDERNEATH, NO RUST ANYWHERE ELSE. TOOK THE CAR TO A COUPLE BODY SHOPS AND THEY SAID IT IS MOST LIKELY FROM A LEAK INSIDE THE CAR CAUSED BY POOR SEALING WHEN THE CAR WAS BUILT. THIS IS DEFINITELY A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY NISSAN. THIS HAS BEEN YEARS IN THE MAKING AND NOW STARTING TO SHOW. OF COURSE IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THE NISSAN CROOKS WILL NOT TAKE BLAME FOR IT. I HAVE HAD 3 NISSAN VEHICLES IN MY LIFETIME AND IT IS AN ABSOLUTE SHAME THAT THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THEY KNOW THEY ARE BUILDING THE VEHICLE IMPROPERLY BUT THEY KNOW THE ISSUE WILL NOT PRESENT ITSELF UNTIL AFTER THE WARRANTY IS EXPIRED, LEAVING THEM TO TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY. I HOPE SOMEONE AT NISSAN IS READING THIS AND I HOPE A LAWSUIT OCCURS IN THE NEAR FUTURE. I HAVE ATTACHED PICTURES FOR YOUR DISPLEASURE.
