Brought vehicle to peters Nissan in nashua n. H. On October 10th with 7,000 miles on it due to hearing a popping sound coming from the right front to hear the sound it would be turning the steering wheel and accelerating, go over bumps putting any kind of flex on that right front. Tech found out after calling tech line that I have structural damage to the right front strut tower and hood holder which came from factory like this. Stated that the body mounts where letting go and the welds have separated and explained that if one machine was not or out of calibration at the manufacture that this could be the problem but also that it could be other issues underline that we don't see. Fix is to bring to body shop to have structural pieces replaced. I was then also told that I could have continuous problems because it's structural. I did not feel safe in this vehicle. I am worried that there will be other welds that will give.
