Radiator problems of the 2000 Nissan Maxima

My vehicle, as with many Nissan Maxima's from 2000 to 2003, is affected by a defective radiator core support. The part is extremely prone to rusting and decaying while the surrounding parts remain intact. The part on my car has developed holes and chunks are constantly falling off, possibly causing a safety hazard.

We own a 2000 Nissan Maxima se. We have had multiple issues with it. At around 68,000 miles we had to pay around $1000 to replace all of the ignition coil wires on the car because it would stall and quit running. We took it to wallace Nissan in kingsport tennessee and had it repaired. They told us then that it was a " known issue" with no official recall from Nissan so we would have to cover the full cost out of pocket. Next we have always had these "noises" in the front wheels that they keep telling us is from rusted brake dust shields. Now the car vibrates all over the road, going to a mechanic tomorrow, most likely rack & pinion issue. While under the hood today trying to figure out the steering issue, hubby noticed that the brace that holds the motor & radiator is severely rusted. . . . We've replaced multiple O2 sensors, mass air flow sensors, constant issues with brakes since we've owned this thing. . . Etc etc Nissan has major issues with this car from what I am reading. . . . . What a shame they refuse to fix their mistakes.
