Frame And Members problems of the 2000 Nissan Maxima

I recently had my transmission fluid changed (Nov. 2010) on my 2000 Nissan Maxima se and was told that the radiator support is corroded with rust due to very poor quality. I was told by the auto mechanic that this shouldn't be happening and that it was a safety hazard since this could result in the engine or transmission falling out of the vehicle. I was told to file a complaint since this problem is happening with many Nissan Maximas.

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. Failure of these parts would result in the engine and or transmission falling out of the vehicle which is a serious safety issue.
