general problems of the 2000 Nissan Pathfinder

I heard a rubbing sound and the passenger side front brake was acting unusual so I took my truck to my mechanic assuming it needed brakes. When the driver front wheel was taken off it was ovious that my brake pad was fine. It was noted that my tires were wearing unevenly and it was also very very ovious that the entire wheel wheel area was corroded,rusted and missing. There was a extremely large hole being the wheel area. Looking further it was noted that the steering column was rubbing against a part of the engine area. That explains the rubbing sound and diffuculty turning the wheel. It was also noted that the suspension was rotted and that the engine measured around 2 inches lower as it was leaning on the drivers side. I was told by my mechanic that the damage was so extensive that it could not be repaired. There wasn't any metal available under the truck to even weld any reinforcement to. The truck was unsafe to drive and to take it to Nissan. We never went any further with an inspection of the passenger side ect. I did take it to Nissan in the afternoon and was called the following morning and told my truck was fixed. I was told they replaced the strut on the drivers side and put some fiberglass underneath the truck. They did say that it passed their 100 and something point safety check. They never addressed anything else. I have been without transportation for a week now.

Mechanical recall of November 2011 was never completed properly. On or about Dec. 21, 2014, the steering column broke while my wife and daughter were in the car. My mechanic inspected the call after the incident. He is willing to submit an affidavit stating that the recall was never properly completed. I have photos showing the unrepaired steering and housing that was supposed to have been repaired. The photos clearly indicate repairs were not done as required by the recall. Nissan USA insists it has no obligation to make repair.

I was driving my Nissan into the dealership for an inspection on a recall it was under. I hit a pothole and could not drive over fourty miles an hour. When I got it to the dealership they informed me my frame was broke. The dealership did the recall repairs and said they couldn't repair the frame because the rust was outside the recall area. I have only owned the vehicle for a year and a half and there is no way that it rusted this bad to cause the frame to break. I feel that the frame was fatigued and it should either be fixed or I should at least get market vaule for my vehicle that I can no longer drive due to it being unsafe. I would apperciate it if you could help me out. I need my vehicle or a refund in order to put a down payment on a new one.
