Just curious to know if you would be interested to follow up on a story of a problem that I have just discovered in my vehicle. It seems that Nissan may have a problem with the vehicle paint. I have just washed my xterra and noticed rust spots on every major panel of that vehicle. It just looks unbelieveble. Within the year this will be a rust bucket !!!! Not even think of the loss of potential resell value !!!! Nissan will most likely not be very happy about that. Just a note . …”

Both he and his coworker passenger indicate that he was going at most 3 MPH as he knew a post was there. Knowing that it was a tight space, he was going to use the slow speed and the post to indicate when to pull forward if he bumped it. When he backed into the pole, my husband pulled forward, got out of the vehicle to look at the bumper. He saw that the pole had hit the bumper at a location where two pieces meet. …”
