CarComplaints.com Notes: Radiators are still cracking, leaking coolant and destroying transmissions. Which is a shame when you consider that otherwise, this would be a great small pickup truck.

The vehicle has been good, other than a few small problems. The paint isn't that bad. It's just annoying.

peeling paint in rain channels & rust in back 2 channels

I can't believe that this is the first formal complaint on this website. I have seen HUNDREDS or posts about peeling paint on a variety of Nissan vehicles due to substandard paint or the paint process, as well as rust in the back two corners of the rain channels where water collects in the little impressions on the frontiers. Nissan apparently knows about rust and has a 5 yr warranty but will only honor it if it is surface rust. Which means as soon as the warranty expires, the rust just eats the rest of the way through causing non repairable damage. The paint in the channels and on the body panels starts to peel away from the primer.
