general problems of the 2000 Nissan Maxima

Unknown.

The structural support on the bottom of the radiator and the main engine mount is rusted all out now my car is unsafe to drive the car when I was driving was making a noise from the front of the car and then pulled over to discover that the the motor mount was rusted out from the radiator support.

2000 Nissan Maxima se. While driving my vehicle on a highway or secondary road the vehicle starts to buck. Suddenly without any warning the (tcs) traction control and slip lights illuminate. This causes me to suddenly lose power and decelerate in hi speed traffic almost leading to rear end collisions. I have tried to rectify the problem by resetting the vehicle's computer by disconnecting the battery overnight and speaking to mechanics. I have not been able to resolve this issue. At times the tcs will activate ( sometimes stall ) while I am pulling into traffic or merging onto the highway ( rpm's go to 2000 maximum when this happens ) causing concern to myself or other motorist. The vehicle has 190k and I have owned it since 01/26/2018. The vehicle operated perfectly until 07/2018. Unfortunately I have been unemployed since 04/2018 and cannot afford to have the car put in a shop for repairs. I am capable of doing my own mechanical repair once I can diagnose the root cause. I have no choice but to drive the vehicle since I do not have another at my disposal. My main concern being safety to myself and others. Any help with this situation will be deeply appreciated. Thank you.

Upon inspection the frame and cross member are rusted beyond repair. It is now too dangerous to drive and ultimately useless. The mechanic is afraid to let the car down off the lift to support its own weight. How is this even possible and even close to acceptable? this car has been stored in a garage, not driven often, and properly maintained. This is completely unacceptable.

Front subframe rusted out.

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 made it all the way to the right lane, merging into exit lane. "OH no!" theres a curb. A triangle curb right in front of me. I swerve to my left. Rear right tire hits the curb and takes lift off. And so does the car, right into the center of the beltway. I have it, I can feel me gaining control. Then I feel the front tires loose it. And theres the wall. Smack. Face first. Spin around one good time. Roll to a stop perfectly on the small shoulder on the right side of the road. Well im sticking out a little but im out of the way. No one hit me. No other accidents were caused. Only one couple stopped but that's ok. And only after the shaking wore off, and I stopped crying did I realize. "hey, why didn't the air bags go off?" this was a pretty serious accident. Theres frame damage to the front of my car. Totaled! everyone was ok. Neck pains and a bruised knee. But considering the conditions of this accident, it could have gone way worst. And no airbags?.

My 2000 Nissan Maxima console is "soft" and side door console panels. I read where other 2000 Maxima's have this same problem. It's not due to extreme heat or anything. Numerous comments about this problem when I google it. This morning I took an alcohol swab and black paint rubbed off of this area on door where molding for opening an closing/locking door. Each morning when I get into my car which is housed in a garage the inside smells like something burnt. Never really connected this with the soft console are until I read about others comments about the same problem. One guy even contacted Nissan president and nothing was done. Please advise the correct way to see if there's a recall which my research didn't find one.
