I PURCHASE MY 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER FROM MY HUSBAND COUSIN. IT IS DRIVING ME CRAZY HOW THE PAINT IS PEELING. I NOW HAVE RUST SPOTS ON THE TOP OF MY VEHICLE. EVERYTIME I WASH IT, IT GETS WORST. I HAVE CALLED NISSAN DEALERSHIPS AND THEY SAID THAT IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY, SO I NEED TO BRING IT IN TO SEE HOW MUCH ITS GOING TO COST TO GET IT FIXED. I PRINTED EVERYONE'S COMPLAINT ABOUT THE SAME SITUATION AND I AM GOING TO SHOW THEM WHEN I GO. THEY WILL GIVE ME SOME ANSWERS ON WHY ITS JUST THE WHITE ONES. IT LOOKS LIKE CRAP.
