the rear subframe is rusted all the way through from the inside out. I work at Toyota Motors Manufacturing Indiana and I happen to work in the are that builds subframes for siennas and highlanders if toyota had a known issue such as this with such a safety concern there would for sure be a recall. This was discovered from a knocking noise in the rear of the vehicle we elevated the rear and removed the passenger side rear tire and discovered all the rust falling out using a screwdriver to check around it would pass completely through the subframe.

Rear subframe broke and the back tire came off. The problem was the rear subframe was rusted out. The rust has eaten away the entire subframe of this vehicle. The VDC off light had been on for 2-3 days and it was scheduled to go into the shop.

My car’s ABS failed to turn on even when braking from a far enough distance in the snow and caused me to rear end a car at 5 mph. I was holding down the brakes from 20 cars away and it felt like my brakes were unresponsive and all the way to the floor as my car continued sliding. Nissan’s voluntary recall was performed of flushing out the brake fluid and replacing it with the DOT 4 and it still failed as a working remedy for its defective ABS from what I have read from other owners. I love my car but might have to sell due to feeling unsafe driving in the snow. Please fix this Nissan before another accident occurs due to your defective ABS.
