1 Underbody Shield problem

Failure Date: 05/01/2012

Sever body frame corrosion causing the vehicle to be very unsafe to drive (examined by the local Nissan dealership) and surely will not pass the new york state safety inspection. Service recall on the "strut tower" corrosion last year but did not take care of the body frame corrosion due to the same corrosion factor that makes me very upset about Nissan. This might be a life death impact on the body frame corrosion where the vehicle might be break in 1/2 due to no body frame support at all. I m not sure why Nissan do not take any proper action like the way Toyota foreseen the impact on the life death incident due to body frame corrosion. According to many web discussion and forum resources, many Nissan Pathfinder owners are sharing the same corrosion issues complaints. I m writing to address and to kindly inform you to communicate this experience to the public and this might be in relationship to possible future life death incident if Nissan choose not to take care of this body frame corrosion in a serious matter. Thank you for your attention and time.
