1999 NISSAN PATHFINDER Equipment Problems

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR INTO MY NEIGHBORHOOD. I TURNED A CORNER HEARD A "CLUNK" MY STEERING WAS TIGHT. I THEN TURNED INTO MY DRIVEWAY AND LOST MY STEERING. FORTUNATELY I WAS MOVING SLOW AND DID NOT HIT ANYTHING. I GOT OUT OF MY VEHICLE LOOKED UNDER THE HOOD AND DISCOVERED THAT MY LEFT FRONT WHEEL WELL HAD RUSTED THROUGH AND HAD ROTATED UP AND INTO MY STEERING COLUMN BREAKING THE SPRING IN THE COLUMN AND KNOCKING OUT MY STEERING. SO FAR NISSAN AND MY DEALER HAVE DONE NOTHING. THEY HAVE REJECTED MY CLAIM THAT THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM AND THEY HAVE NOT GIVEN ME A FORMAL ESTIMATE OF THE COST TO REPAIR. THEY DID OFFER ME $500 OF TRADE IN VALUE TOWARDS A NEW VEHICLE PURCHASE. ON NOVEMBER 13, 2009 I REQUESTED THAT THE VEHICLE BE REPAIRED AT MY COST. I VISITED THE DEALER ON DECEMBER 1, 2009...
