The radiator core support is rusting and has lead to a large hole on the bottom. The engine brace is mounted where the rust is forming. If the rust forms bad enough around the bolts the engine could fall down. Also the hood latch is connected the bottom of the core support. If this fails the rust can cause the hood to open while driving.

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.

I have a 2004 Maxima sl with 90,000(mi) as I was driving on a rainy day I noticed the passenger front mat was getting wet when I got home I removed the mat and carpet and to my surprised I found a sizable rust hole in the floor passenger side . I took the car to the dealer and informed the manager of my discovery she told me that she was going to contact Nissan and find out what to do. In the mean time I stopped by a few autobody shops to get quotes on fixing it I tried 5 shops and most of them refuse to touch it because is a structural part of the vehicle, they also told me they thought I should go see the dealer as the car shouldn't rust like that being so new. A few days later I went back to the dealer and asked the manager if she ha heard from Nissan she said no, she mentioned that she has seen couple more cars come in for inspections and they noticed that the bottoms on the passenger sides were rusted consequently failing inspection. Nissan should make a recall or force to make a recall on this issue my car is worthless because of the structural damage it has. Nissan should be responsible for these repairs for using weak or cheaper materials.
