I brought this vehicle from a car dealership in cash. The dealership told me everything is working fine within the car since it's a used car. I've only used it 3 weeks from the date I brought it now it not running anymore. Tried to get ahold of the dealership they don't answer any of my calls.

Right rear subframe rusted out - suspension has become disconnected from chassis. Car is unsafe to drive. The car is available for inspection. We could have lost control of the car because of this issue. Nissan did not identify the rust and sub-frame issue, another independent auto repair shop did (Worldwide Auto: bloomington, IN). Nissan missed this when we brought it in for investigation but rather blamed it on a steering wheel sensor malfunctioning. The component hasn't been inspected by police or insurance rep. Dashboard light came on before we brought it to Nissan, who then misdiagnosed the issue.
