“Front driver side strut tower housing corrosion causing housing to break(damage). I was driving and while exiting the highway I heard a big noise and the steering wheel was hard to turn. I drove my 2001 infinity QX4 to a auto shop and they said the tower housing was damage it will cause me $1800 to fix because they have to install new tower so I fix it.”
NHTSA complaint #10404529, filed 2011-06, 70,000 miles“My 13-year-old and severely rusted Infiniti 4wd SUV has been recalled for corrosion problems at the driver-side strut tower. I will be towing it to the dealership for an inspection because I'm afraid to drive it. My car has a fist-sized hole through the fender well in the area described in the recall notice, so it is probably not repairable. But my car also has a rusted out and severely weakened unibody frame at another critical area that would certainly cause a loss of control and probably a crash when it is finally stressed to the breaking point. …”
