PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR BOARD RUSTED THROUGH. DRIVER SIDE SEEMS OK (FOR NOW) MAYBE BECAUSE I ALWAYS DO UNDER-WASH EVERY TIME WASHING THE CAR. FIRST NOTICED THE RUSTING AFTER AROUND 4 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP WHEN DID A DIY OIL CHANGE BUT I JUST IGNORED IT BECAUSE I JUST THOUGHT I'M JUST ONE OF THE UNLUCKY OWNER UNTIL DID A DIY OIL CHANGE LAST MONTH AND MY SURPRISED THE RUST GOTTEN WORST AND WIDENED. BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW IN JUNE, 2006 AND WAS GARAGE KEPT SINCE DAY ONE. IT ALSO GET WASHED REGULARLY BY ME AND AUTO CARWASH IN THE WINTER OF COURSE WITH UNDER CARRIAGE WASH. THE CAR HAS NOW 110K MILES.

WHEN I DRIVE THE VEHICLE, THE ENGINE LIGHT CONSTANTLY POPS ON AND OFF THE CAR CONSUMES A LARGE AMOUNT OF OIL EACH WEEK, I HAVE TO CHECK THE OIL AND KEEP A CASE OF OIL WITH THE FILTER IN MY TRUCK TO CONSTANTLY FILL IT UP. THE CAR DRAINS GAS LIKE CRAZY, AND IT'S SLOW AND DRIVING AND SLUGGISH. THE CAR HAS CUT OFF ON ME IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING WHERE I HAD TO SPEND OVER $500 TO GET IT REPAIRED.

ON 5/23/19 MY SON WAS DRIVING THIS CAR ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN THE CAR BEGAN TO DECELERATE AND COMPLETELY STOPPED/SHUTDOWN ON THE HIGHWAY. IT'S A BLESSING HE WAS NOT INJURED/KILLED WHEN THIS HAPPENED. THE DIAGNOSTIC CHECK REVEALED A SENSOR THAT THE FUEL PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, SO AFTER AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR ON 5/24/19.THEN ON 5/25/19 WHILE DRIVING TO WORK, THE CAR BEGAN TO DO THE EXACT SAME THING AGAIN AND STOPPED ON THE HIGHWAY. NISSAN NEEDS TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE WITH THIS CAR ASAP BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED!!!
