Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My Nissan truck is very badly eaten by rust. The frame and body are being eaten away with rust. The brake lines and the power steering lines have disintegrated. The wheel axles and joints are badly corroded. Inferior quality metals and paint were used to manufacture this truck. This truck is now too dangerous to drive on the road. The engine and transmission are good but the rest is a disgrace.”
