Memorial day weekend. Motorcycles everywhere. Traffic. Im in the far lane on the beltway and my exits coming up. Motorcycles everywhere. Heavy traffic too but its moving. I cant cut off the motorcycles. So I wait to pass them. Im merging, looking to the side, looking behind me. I wasn't paying to much attention to what was coming up in front of me. I mean, what else is there but cars in front of me. That's all I need to watch out for right? So I thought.
I have a model year 2000 nissan maxima. I also owned a 1990 nissan maxima and a 1998 nissan maxima all with the same exact problem. The radiator support rusts out completely and its not due to radiator failure or accident damage. The undercarriage of these cars need to be better protected from the weather or better quality parts need to be used. But specifically the radiator support systems in these maximas are of very poor quality.
