SUSPENSION
PURCHASED CAR NEW WITH 9 MILES. DAY TWO OWING CAR, SWAY BAR HAD TO BE REPLACE BUT WAS FIXED. THE ISSUE IS THE REAR END OF THE CAR SAGS WHEN THERE IS EITHER BACK SEAT PASSENGERS OR WEIGHT IN THE TRUNK NOW. AFTER THE FIRST MONTH OF OWING THE CAR, THERE HAS BEEN AND STILL IS A CLINGING/CLANGING NOISE FROM THE REAR SUSPENSION AREA. WHILE THE CAR HAD THE ORIGINAL FACTORY WARRANTY, MULTIPLE NISSAN DEALERSHIPS COULD NOT FIND ANY ISSUES THAT WERE VISIBLE. IN SEPTEMBER OF 2019, NISSAN STATE'S I NEED NEW REAR SHOCKS TO FIX THE ISSUE. AFTER PURCHASING THE NEW SHOCKS FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND GETTING THEM INSTALLED, ISSUE STILL EXIST AND IT'S WORSE NOW THAN BEFORE

STRUCTURE:BODY
THE FLOOR BOARDS ON BOTH THE DRIVERS AND PASSENGER SIDE FRONT HAVE RUSTED OUT. MOST OF THE OTHER METAL/ FLOORING HAS NOT RUSTED OUT LIKE IT HAS IN THESE TWO SPOTS. THE RUST DOES SEEM TO LEAD UP CLOSE TO THE SUB FRAME WHICH WORRIES ME OF THE INTEGRITY OF THE FRAME. THE FLOORING HAS RUSTED OUT TO THE FABRIC/INSULATION PORTION OF THE INTERIOR. ALSO OF CONCERN IS WHEN YOU ARE GETTING IN AND OUT OF THE CAR THE FLOOR IS SO WEAK THAT YOUR FOOT/LEG COULD GO THROUGH IT. IN TIME YOUR FEET CAN AND WILL GO THROUGH THE FLOOR WITH OUT WARNING.
