2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER Structurebody Problems

Rear subframe rusted through and unable to be repaired. Contacted Nissan and would not assist even though some VIN # of the same year were recalled and replaced. Having a hard time finding a replacement even with a family friend who is a service advisor looking. Vehicle has not been in an accident that would cause this type of fracture in the frame. Unable to drive the vehicle for obvious safety reasons.

Rear subframe on the passenger side cracked because of excessive rust making it dangerous to drive so it's now stuck at the repair shop. Repair shop said this is not expected for a vehicle with this mileage and the other sides of the subframe are far from being in the same condition as this one.

Rust only on brackets that hold the arm on the rear sway arm stabilizer

Rear Subframe/under body completely rusted out at cracked. My daughter and I drive a lot for her health condition to appointments. The Nissan Dealership said this could have been catastrophic driving down the freeway had it broke apart while driving. It completely fell apart in the mechanics hand after they removed it and were showing me what actually happened and what I was driving around on. Nissan dealership quoted me $11,000.00 for the part and labor. I had it fixed through an authorized mechanic for $5,000.00 Because it was wearing and I didn't notice because there were no signs or messages, it rubbed my tires almost bald to where the wires were showing. I had to replace those as well. I wash my car regularly and get 2 detail cleans a year, my car has been well maintained since I bought it. I asked the mechanic how this could have...

When getting a new set of tires found out that drivers side rear subframe assembly rusted away where the control arm attaches after looking at a Nissan fourn there are many with the same problem worried that due to this might be a issue for me and my children traveling to he roads

After being notified of NHTSA recall campaign 22V-420 by Nissan North America, Inc. we had the required service repairs performed by a qualified Nissan dealership near us, however Nissan has been unable to clear the open recall notice from their Nissan tracking system, so we continue to receive periodic open recall notices from Nissan for this same issue. The NHTSA website recall system correctly shows no open recalls for our vehicle. Several phone calls placed to the Nissan North America Consumer Affairs Department requesting they fix their recall system notification information has only resulted in being transferred between representatives, and then having Nissan drop the calls during those transfers.

Took my 2013 Pathfinder to Steve Shannon Tires and auto center to fix (what I thought was the issue) a wheel bearing. They called me later in the day informing me they could not replace the wheel bearing because my rear sub frame is rotted.

Rear subframe rotted out. Car is garage kept.

Front subframe rusted through. This is a similar issue across a wide range of Nissan Pathfinders. This is a major safety issue.

The vehicle was pulling to the right when driving or breaking. Brought to the mechanic and he discovered that the rear passenger side subframe is totally rotted. Appears to be a common problem with Nissan from my understanding now. He suggested I just trade it in. I don't have that luxury so will attempt to have it repaired. I have looked for a recall and so not see one but I do see numerous complaints regarding this issue on various Nissan boards. Some have said they registered a complaint as well. Since this appears to be a common Nissan problem, their corporation should be responsible for the repair. I'm told not to drive unless necessary.

The Subframe has rusted out and it’s causing my arm to move. It appears this is a common issue with Nissan vehicles in general. My mechanic stated that it should not have rusted out like that.

Subframe completely rusted through and has broken in the back portion of the car.

The 2013 Nissan Pathfinder that we own just had the subframe rust and collapse. The car only has 120,000 miles. This is not even close to the expectancy of how long a subframe should last.

Subframe completely rusted through and has broken in the back portion of the car. This risks catastrophic failure at highway speeds where the loose subframe can cause rear wheels to move outside of safe bounds. No warnings are given on the car and it is so hidden underneath that a normal inspection can miss it. Now car has dramatic clanging noise every bump and risks failure every time we drive.

Major subframe damage in similar places on both sides of car causing car to be unsafe

The contact owns a 2013 Nissan Pathfinder. The contact stated that the rear sub frame was completely rusted through. The vehicle was taken to a certified mechanic and the subframe was replaced. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 100,850.

on 3 separate occasions 3 separate door handles have failed to work from the inside of the vehicle. We had to replace the front passenger side door handle twice and the rear left side once and now the rear right side door handle has stopped working. No warnings whatsoever ever they just stop latching and we are unable to exit the vehicle which is very unsafe. We took it to the Nissan Dealership in Carson City Nevada where we paid to get it replaced on 03/07/2022.

Inside passengers front door handle broke making it impossible to open the passengers front door from inside the vehicle

LAI T ON MY HOOD IS PEELING OFF AND IM GETTI G NO HELP FROM NKSSAN. I WAS TOLD BY A BODY SHOP TO TAKE IT IN BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE IT LO G AND ITS A NISSAN ISSUE. I TRIED TO USE TOUCH UP PAINT BUT ITS STILL PEELING ALONG THE FEONT OF THE HOOD I HAVE ATTACHED PICTURES AS WELL.

THIS HAPPENED TO ME YESTERDAY 09/07/2020 ON MY 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER. I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 45 MILES AN HOUR ON A RURAL EMPTY ROAD WHEN THE SUNROOF MADE A POP SOUND AND EXPLODED. I LOOKED IN MY REAR VIEW MIRROR AND SAW A LARGE SHEET OF GLASS HIT THE ROAD AND DISINTEGRATE. WHEN I OPENED THE COVER FOR THE SUNROOF MOST OF THE GLASS WAS GONE. THE PIECES AROUND THE FRAME THAT REMAINED WERE SHATTERED. DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO JOIN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT?

HOOD FLUTTERS GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. HAS BEEN PREVIOUSLY ADJUSTED UNDER SAFETY RECALL. NOT REPAIRED COMPLETELY BY DEALERSHIP. CVT TRANSMISSION JUDDER. HAS BEEN REPROGRAMMED BY DEALERSHIP, DID NOT REPAIR PROBLEM. BANDS NOW SLIPPING AND OUT OF MILEAGE WARRANTY. OCCUPANT SENSOR FOR AIRBAG PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED BY DEALERSHIP. STILL DOES NOT WORK. REPLACED CUSHION. STILL NOT REPAIRED. DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO REPAIR. LIFTGATE SCRATCHES ROOF WHEN OPENING. DEALERSHIP SAID THE LIFTGATE HAS A CODE. BRANDON NISSAN IN BRANDON FLORIDA. WILL NOT REPAIR ANY OF THE TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS ON THIS VEHICLE.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN A ROAD, THE HOOD FLEW UP AND HIT THE WINDSHIELD. I COULD NOT SEE IN FRONT OF ME AT ALL. THE HOOD RIPPED THROUGH THE FENDERS BY THE WINDSHIELD. I WAS DRIVING APPROX. 35 MILES PER HOUR AT THE TIME THIS HAPPENED.

THE BOLT AND ARM THAT OPEN THE REAR LIFTGATE ON MY 2013 PATHFINDER RUSTED FROM THE INSIDE OUT. ONLY WARNING SIGN WAS ONCE LIFTED, IT AUTOMATICALLY CLOSED. THIS HAPPENED 5 TIMES. THE PISTON SNAPPED AND BROKE AWAY AND BLOCKED THE LIFT GATE FROM CLOSING. SECURING THE LIFT WAS CHALLENGING! ONLY WAY TO OPEN IS MANUALLY LIFTING IT AND HOLDING AND PROPPING IT OPEN. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT GETTING IT FIXED OR CHANGING FROM POWER TO A MANUAL LIFT. I NEED TO REPLACE BOTH SHOCKS AS WELL AS THE OPERATING SYSTEM EST $1400 BEFORE LABOR. OBVIOUSLY THERE IS AN ISSUE SINCE NISSAN HAS COMPLETELY CHANGED HOW THE DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES! NISSAN ISSUED A RECALL ON THE ROGUE FOR THAT SAME ISSUE WITH THE TAILGATE. . . . . I'M SURE THE PISTONS FROM THE ROGUE THAT WERE RECALLED ARE INCREDIBLY SIMILAR TO THE ONES IN THE PATHFINDER. WITH COVID...

SINCE I PURCHASED MY PATHFINDER, I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS CLOSE CALLS IN ALMOST HAVING AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE MIRRORS AND THE SIDE PANELS INSIDE BY THE MIRRORS, I CANNOT SEE IF ANOTHER VEHICLE IS COMING OR IF I'M AT A 4 WAY STOP I CAN NOT SEE IF THERE IS A CAR ON EITHER SIDE OF ME AT THE STOP. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS. I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS ISSUE, BUT I JUST SAW A FORUM ABOUT IT ONLINE. I JUST DON'T WANT TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT AND HARM MYSELF OR ANYONE ELSE.

THE VISOR BROKE AND THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE STOPPED WORKING

WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY, FRONT HOOD LATCH THAT HOLDS HOOD DOWN BECAME UNLATCHED, CAUSING HOOD TO FLY BACK HITTING AND SHATTERING WINDSHIELD, DAMAGING THE RIGHT AND LEFT FENDERS AND DENTING THE ROOF OF MY VEHICLE.*DT *JB

PLASTIC RETAINING CLIP INSIDE BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SUNVISOR BROKEN CAUSING VISORS TO FALL IN FIELD OF VIEW CAUSING AN OBSTRUCTION OF VIEW OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC.PASSENGER SIDE DOOR HANDLE BROKEN INSIDE OF DOOR NOT ALLOWING PASSENGER TO EXIT FROM VEHICLE.

DRIVER SIDE VISOR HAS FALLEN 2-3 INCHES AND PASSENGER SIDE HAS FALLEN 4-5 INCHES. THIS IS A COMPLETE SAFETY HAZZARD FOR VISIBILITY AND ONE COULD BE SERIOUSLY INJURED SHOULD THEY HAVE AN ACCIDENT AS AN AIRBAG CAN NOT PROTECT THEM FROM FAULTY INTERIOR PARTS OF THIS VEHICLE. WE NOTICED A SLIGHT ISSUE JUST AFTER PURCHASE IN 2017 AND THE ISSUE HAS GOTTEN INCREASINGLY WORSE.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY THE SUNROOF EXPLODED SEND CHUNKS OF GLASS FLYING. THE EXPLOSION WAS SO LOUD, IT CAUSED ME TO SWERVE WHICH COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT IF ANOTHER CAR HAD BEEN IN THE OTHER LANE. THE SUNROOF WAS CLOSED AND HAD NOT BEEN OPENED IN WEEKS.

DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AROUND 35-40 MPH, HOOD FLIES OPEN AND HITS WINDSHIELD OUT OF NO WHERE.

THE THE ARMS THAT OPEN THE REAR LIFTGATE ON MY PATHFINDER RUSTED FROM THE INSIDE OUT. ONE DAY WHEN CLOSING THE DOOR IT SLAMMED SHUT SUDDENLY AND WOULDN'T OPEN ANYMORE WITHOUT SOMEONE MANUALLY LIFTING IT AND HOLDING IT OPEN. WE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT GETTING IT FIXED AND WE WERE TOLD THE PATHFINDERS REAR LIFTGATE HAS BEEN CHANGED COMPLETELY AND IN ORDER TO FIX OURS WE NEED TO REPLACE BOTH SHOCKS AS WELL AS THE OPERATING SYSTEM...... WHICH COMES IN AT 1400 DOLLARS BEFORE LABOR....... OBVIOUSLY THERE IS AN ISSUE THERE IS THEY HAVE COMPLETELY CHANGED HOW THE DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES! ALSO, THEY ISSUED A RECALL ON THE NISSAN ROGUE AROUND THE SAME TIME THAT WE GOT OUR PATHFINDER FOR THAT SAME ISSUE WITH THE TAILGATE..... I'M SURE THE SHOCKS FROM THOSE ROGUES THAT WERE RECALLED MUST BE INCREDIBLY SIMILAR TO THE ONES IN THE NISSAN PATHFINDER.......

DRIVER DOOR LATCH HAS BROKEN PREVENTING OPENING THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE. THE DOOR MAY ONLY BE OPENED FROM THE OUTSIDE. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN A DRIVEWAY AND EXITING WAS PREVENTED UNTIL SOMEONE ELSE OPENED THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE.

THE PLASTIC DOOR HANDLE ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE IS PRONE TO BREAKING, WHICH MEANS ONE CANNOT QUICKLY EXIT THE VEHICLE IN AN EMERGENCY. MINE BROKE AND, FOR A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF TIME I WASN'T SURE HOW I COULD GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE. IF THE CAR IS NOT RUNNING, OR THE BATTERY IS INOPERATIVE, ONE CANNOT ROLL DOWN THE WINDOW TO GET OUT THAT WAY. THE CONSOLE MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT, IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE, FOR THE DRIVER TO EXIT THROUGH THE PASSENGER DOOR. THE ASSUMPTION IS THAT YOU CAN ROLL DOWN THE WINDOW, OR THAT YOU ARE PHYSICALLY ABLE TO CLIMB OVER THE CONSOLE AND EXIT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE A RECALL AND REPLACE ISSUE. THE PLASTIC DOOR HANDLE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED WITH A HANDLE THAT WILL ALWAYS OPEN THE DOOR. OBVIOUSLY, THE CAR WAS STATIONARY WHEN THIS HAPPENED. THE PART NUMBER FOR THE REPLACEMENT...

DRIVING HOME WITH FAMILY ABOUT 11:30 PM ON HYWAY THE SUNROOF EXPLODED AND GLASS WENT EVERYWHERE VERY UNHAPPY ABOUT THE SITUATION BECAUSE MY KIDS COULD OF BEEN HURT VERY BADLY LUCKY I HAD VISOR CLOSED BY TOOK ME 2 HOURS TO CLEANUP ALL THE GLASS THEN WHEN TRYING TO GET FIXED I AM BEING TOLD THE GLASS FOR SUNROOF IS ALMOST $800 VERY UNHAPPY ABOUT IT WHY CAN'T THIS GLASS BE LAMINATED

DEFECTIVE INTERIOR DRIVERS SIDE DOOR HANDLE. THE INSIDE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR HANDLE ON MY 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER BROKE WHEN I TRIED TO OPEN THE DOOR AND I AM UNABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE. THE CAR WAS PARKED WITH THE IGNITION TURNED OFF WHEN THE HANDLE FAILED. I REMOVED THE DOOR COVER AND INSPECTED THE HANDLE ASSEBLY TO FIND A SMALL PIECE OF PLASTIC HAD BROKEN OFF. THE BROKEN PIECE OF PLASTIC WAS DESIGNED TO HOLD THE BALL-END OF THE DOOR LATCH CABLE IN PLACE. FROM MY OWN INTERNET SEARCH INVESTIGATIONS, IT SOUNDS LIKE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND IT IS COMMON ON DRIVER SIDE DOOR HANDLES GIVEN THAT IS THE HANDLE USED MOST FREQUENTLY. THE OTHER DOOR HANDLES ARE MANUFACTURED THE SAME WAY SO IT IS LIKELY THAT ALL WILL FAIL DEPENDING ON FREQUENCY OF USE. IN MY OPINION, THIS DEFECT IS RELATED TO POOR DESIGN...

WHILE OPENING THE DRIVERS DOOR THE INSIDE HANDLE WOULD NOT WORK. HAD TO OPEN THE WINDOW AND OPEN THE DOOR USING THE EXTERNAL HANDLE.

THE SUN VISORS ARE DEFECTIVE AND BREAK VERY EASILY. THEY WON'T STAY UP AND YOU HEAR A LOUD CLICKING AFTER A PART BREAKS IN THE VISOR. YOU CAN GOOGLE/YOUTUBE SUN VISOR ISSUES FOR PATHFINDER AND THERE IS A TON OF REPORTS ON THIS. NISSAN IS CHARGING FOLKS ~$190 PER VISOR TO REPAIR THIS WHEN IT IS A DEFECT.

THE SUN VISORS WHILE DRIVING DO NOT SUPPORT THEMSELVES AND BREAK EASILY MOST LIKELY BECAUSE OF CHEAP PLASTIC. WHILE DRIVING THEY MAY FOLD DOWN AND OBSTRUCT MY VIEW OF THE ROAD WHICH COULD CAUSE A CRASH. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AT ANY GIVEN SPEED. I HAVE HAD TO TIE MY SUN VISORS SO THEY DO NOT RANDOMLY COME DOWN. THIS IS ALSO A PROBLEM BECAUSE THERE IS NOW NO PROTECTION FROM SUN LIGHT AND IT IS HARD TO SEE THE ROAD WHEN SUNLIGHT IS PRESENT.

I WAS GIVEN A NEW TRANSMISSION WHEN PURCHASED BECAUSE IT HAD JERKY GEAR CHANGES. INSIDE DOOR HANDLES ARE BREAKING, TRAPPING PASSENGER IN CAR.

THE REAR LIFT GATE HAS STOPPED FUNCTIONING FOR THE SECOND TIME SINCE THE PURCHASE OF THE CAR ON 12/21/2012. IT IS UNACCEPTABLE TO HAVE TO REPLACE THE MOTOR AGAIN IN 4 YEARS AND TO BE TOLD BY NISSAN THE MOTOR WILL NOT BE COVERED UNLESS THE STRUTS ARE ALSO TO BE REPLACED DUE TO THEIR OWN FAULTINESS. NOT ONLY IS THIS A COSTLY AND INCONVENIENT REPAIR, BUT THE MOTORS ARE ON BACK ORDER ACCORDING TO NISSAN PARTS. THERE IS NO ESTIMATE OF A DELIVERY DATE. THE DOOR WON'T LATCH IF THE MOTOR ISN'T FUNCTIONING. SO, AS A RESULT, I AM DRIVING AROUND WITH A REAR LIFT GATE THAT CAN'T BE MANUALLY CLOSED DUE TO A POOR DESIGN BY NISSAN. SINCE THE LIFT GATE WON'T LATCH MANUALLY THE LIFT GATE HAS HAD TO BE TIED DOWN INTERNALLY TO PREVENT THE LIFT GATE FROM FLYING OPEN WHILE DRIVING. THE INTERIOR LIGHTS COME...

THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR LATCH BROKE AND THE DOOR WON'T OPEN FROM THE INSIDE. YOU HAVE TO ROLL DOWN THE WINDOW AND OPEN THE DRIVER'S DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE. THE DOOR CAN ONLY BE OPENED FROM THE OUTSIDE. THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS FROM NISSAN. THIS IS A HAZARD AND POTENTIALLY CAUSE DEATH IF SOMEONE CAN'T GET OUT OF THEIR CAR IN AN ACCIDENT OR OTHER EMERGENCY.

THE HOOD ON MY VEHICLE FLEW OPEN WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH DOWN THE ROAD. NISSAN FIXED THE ISSUE. THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DOES NOT WORK WHEN SOMEONE IS SITTING IN PASSENGER SEAT UNDER 130 LBS. I GOT A RECALL NOTIFICATION. I HAVE CALLED NISSAN TO HAVE THEM FIX THIS 3 TIMES AND THEY TELL ME THEY DON'T HAVE THE PART. MY HUSBAND WEIGHS 128 LBS AND THE AIRBAG DOES NOT DETECT HIM SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. IF I WERE TO GET IN A WRECK THE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY WITH MY HUSBAND SITTING IN FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. I HAVE TOLD NISSAN THIS NUMEROUS TIMES BUT THEY SAY THEY CANNOT GET THE PART IN. I THINK THAT IS VERY DANGEROUS.

INTERIOR DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR HANDLE STOPPED WORKING. I TRIED TO OPEN THE DOOR UNDER NORMAL USE AND THE LEVER JUST MOVES FREELY WITHOUT CATCHING THE LATCH. EXTERIOR HANDLE STILL WORKS, BUT INTERIOR HANDLE NO LONGER FUNCTIONS.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE FAILED. UPON REGULAR USE (I.E., NO PULLING, TWISTING, EXCESSIVE FORCE) IT FAILED TO OPEN THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR AND MADE A CRUNCHING NOISE. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED. THE ONLY WAY TO EXIT THE DRIVER DOOR IS TO PUT THE WINDOW DOWN AND PULL THE EXTERIOR HANDLE. THE INTERIOR HANDLE MOVES, BUT DOES NOT ENGAGE THE DOOR. THE DRIVER CANNOT EXIT THE VEHICLE IF THE POWER IS OFF. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS VERY ISSUE (DOWN TO THE "CRUNCHING NOISE" DETAIL) ON VARIOUS PATHFINDER OWNER FORUMS ONLINE. THIS IS CLEARLY A MASSIVE MANUFACTURER DEFECT THAT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT OR OTHER EMERGENCY A DRIVER WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE QUICKLY ENOUGH AND THIS POSES A SERIOUS SAFETY RISK FOR THE DRIVER.

CONCERNING THE 2ND ROW DOOR ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE VEHICLE: THE INTERIOR HANDLE IS "STICKING" OPEN SUCH THAT THE DOOR DOES NOT FULLY CLOSE, AND AT ONE POINT OPENED ENTIRELY WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. THE INTERIOR HANDLE MUST BE MANUALLY PRESSED DOWN AND THE DOOR TESTED FROM THE EXTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE TO CONFIRM THAT IT IS IN FACT CLOSED.

INSIDE DOOR HANDLE BROKE ALL OF A SUDDEN (DRIVER SIDE)! NEED TO ROLL DOWN WINDOW TO OPEN DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE HANDLE WHICH IS CONCERNING IN CASE EMERGENCY AND CANT ROLL DOWN WINDOW, WONT BE ABLE TO OPEN CAR TO GET OUT!

I HAVE HAD THE DOOR HANDLE ON MY PATHFINDER BREAK TWICE MAKING YOU UNABLE TO GET OUT OF YOUR CAR IN A EMERGENCY! THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW BY ME. ALSO I HAVE HAD MANY PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPING WHILE IN ACCELERATION. NOW THAT IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY THEY SEEM TO HAVE NO INTEREST IN FIXING IT.

DRIVER INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE BROKE AT 15,000 MILES AND PASSENGER INTERIOR HANDLE BROKE AT 17,000 MILES. YOU CANNOT GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE USING THE DOOR HANDLE. THE POWER WINDOW HAS TO BE PUT DOWN, THEN YOU HAVE TO UNLOCK THE DOOR, THEN REACH OUTSIDE THE CAR TO USE THE EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLE TO GET OUT. THIS IS A SERIOUS HAZARD IF NEEDING TO EXIT THE VEHICLE IN AN EMERGENCY.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN DRIVING AT AN INCLINE OR AT A STOP BEFORE ACCESSING A HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE RUBBER AND THE ROOF RACKS DETERIORATED CAUSING THE RUBBER TO PARTIALLY DETACH. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,000.

WHILE DRIVING TO WORK ON THE FLORIDA TURNPIKE, THE HOOD KEPT VIBRATING. IT LOOK LIKE THE HOOD WAS LIFTING AND WOULD FLY UP. MY BROTHER LOOKED AT IT BUT COULD NOT FIND WHAT WOULD CAUSE THE PROBLEM SO HE SUGGESTED I TAKE IT TO THE DEALERS. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT IT WAS JUST THE WAY THE HOOD WORKED AND DID NOTHING. THE SECOND TIME I REPORTED THE PROBLEM I THREATENED THAT IF I GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT I WOULD SUE THE COMPANY. THIS TIME THEY DID TAKE A LOOK AT THE HOOD. THEY DID SOMETHING WHICH RESULTED INLESS VIBRATION, HOWEVER AT HIGHER SPEEDS AND WINDY WEATHER, I ENCOUNTER THE SAME PROBLEM . *TR
