What owners wrote
My sixteen year old son along with my seven year old son were driving my car when car started wobbling, he lost control going approximately 60 miles an hour, over corrected and went head first into trees and the air bag did not deploy. Fortunately my sons were wearing seatbelts and did not sustain any major injuries, just bumps and bruises. The car then hit on the drivers side after the frontal impact then hit on the rear. My car was totaled. At no time did the air bag on the drivers side deploy.
Sever body frame corrosion causing the vehicle to be very unsafe to drive (examined by the local nissan dealership) and surely will not pass the new york state safety inspection. Service recall on the "strut tower" corrosion last year but did not take care of the body frame corrosion due to the same corrosion factor that makes me very upset about nissan. This might be a life death impact on the body frame corrosion where the vehicle might be break in 1/2 due to no body frame support at all.
