Body problems of the 2011 Nissan Frontier

Paint flaking off of front fender in crease above tire on both the passenger and driver side.

The hood of my truck popped opened at 67 mph while driving on 595 east bound on florida highway between flamingo and university exits. Due to the impact it cracked my windshield and obvious loss of visibility to highway. After pulling over and inspecting the vehicle, it seems like the latch of the hood came off while driving. I have not received an explanation how this malfunction could have happened. Luckily there was no harm to myself only the damage to hood, windshield, top of vehicle roof and missing latch and the emergency cable that is hooked up to hood. My antenna also broke from the impact and the hood does not close all the way.

Automobile has body rust and rust like staining. Nissan attempted to repair by putting sanding pudding and painting it. Car still has constant rust problems. Nissan corporate office is unable to come up with solution at this time. The rear bumper in particular has that issue Nissan cut holes in it to drain water out after it rains to prevent further rusting. Ongoing issue with no solution. This is a 2011 model purchased new.
