“Took my 1994 Pathfinder for front brake services. The mechanic inspected my truck and found the frame completed rusted and could not place on regular lift. I was told that entire frame needs to be replaced or rebuilt. I was told that Nissan has recall on Pathfinder. I followed up with Nissan and was told that 1994 was not on recall list, but recall are for 1996 to 2003 Pathfinder. I try to avoid highway rattler and shake too much, so I try to do city driving.”
