Nhtsa needs to take a very hard look at the frames on nissan trucks from the early/mid 90's because the following problem could cause a fatality.my 1994 nissan pickup has failed virginia state inspection due to a severely rusted section of frame.according to the mechanic, the frame has rusted through from the inside and as a result an8 inch crack has developed over the passenger side rear wheel area.the drivers side rear wheel area appears to be forming a similar crack as well.i live just outside of washington dc (not a salt water climate) and i purchased the truck new in 1994. The truck has always been located in this area.over the last few days i found several other instances on the internet where individuals have similar experiences with the pathfinder frames manufactured in this time period.clearly, a 12 year old truck shouldn't have this kind of problem.i have no choice at this time but to scrap this vehicle because the repair costs would be prohibitive and there is a question of even getting someone to repair the rusted frame due to liability on the part of repairer.i have taken some pictures of the problem area(s).if nhtsa would like copies of these, please let me know.
