7 Body problem

Failure Date: 03/01/2019

Rust/corrosion and peeling of paint (delamination) appeared after 3 years on the roof. Car is a white Nissan Sentra 2015 and I filed a complained with Nissan and I was told that its not covered because it was over 3 years even after showing the Nissan warranty booklet document. I was given several options by Nissan, pay $9,000. 00 my share to pay the body paint, $5,000. 00 discount to buy a new car plus 2 years extended warranty. Car has only 30,000 miles on it when I complained July of 2019. I was asked several times to get an estimate for a paint job too. I talked to more than 1 representative during this ordeal and even pleaded with them to just paint the roof part and they said no because its not guaranteed that it will only be the roof that will start peeling. My last conversation with them (kacha, executive) was last year when I gave up because it gave us too much anxiety and grief. This is my son's car who is a first responder and still paying for this car too. We were a Nissan family and always bought 4 brand new Nissan for the past 20 years.

2015 Sentra has a wind noise that is related to interstate speeds and high cross winds. The least the noise will do is sound out in beeps and buzzes louder than polite conversation. At worst it can come as a full on blast of noise like a truck horn or someone suddenly yelling into your right ear while your concentrating on the rush hour traffic and the ever changing situation. No driver should have to put up this level of distraction while driving. My wife has been driving the washington DC metro area roads and beltway for over 40 years. She has never had an at fault accident. She has never gotten a ticket. The driving here is a challenge due to the very high speeds the traffic moves at. My wife won't drive over 70 mph. Basically every one is blowing by her like she's sitting still. Having a random loud burst of noise in your ear is unnerving. Nissan states it's a characteristic of the car!! must be because the versa loaner did it too. With the focus on not having distracted drivers it seems odd a manufacturer would promote this as a feature.
