| 1998 nissan pathfinder le (84,000 miles) factory oem running boards rusting from mounting brackets to the point of separation from the vehicle. these 20+ pound pieces of metal falling onto a roadway and being hit by another vehicle could present a serious accident risk. have contacted nissan motors via letter (with pictures) and visited a local dealer. phone call from nissan motors denied any and all responsibility for poor design and inferior metal on this part. there must be many vehicles on the road with this potentially lethal defect. *tr | |||
