Nissan knew about this problem back in 2005, 2 year old Navaras in the North of Scotland were suffereing terminal chassis rust back then.

For that to happen the metal coating must be near zero. Terrible. We have 30 year old farm utes with chassis as good as new (nearly) and no rust issues like that even though they live in dirt and moisture. Haven't Nissan heard of galvanizing ? LOL The metal must be paper thin. That's pathetic.

Hope all goes well for you mate, Nissan really fucked up on their chassis by not treating them, it's not like a motor you can replace, can't replace a chassis

@@snapperhead1355 yeah they did. Got half what I paid back for it after 3 years and 100k miles. Bloody cheap car at that. I'd defo buy one again. I think the chassis for auz and asia were made in a different plant. There seems to be no issues from what I hear there. Hope your weather is better than here in ireland lad. Summertime and it's pissing down.

Middle of winter here and today was 24 degrees Celsius, I live in Perth Western Australia, best weather here my friend, There are more 4x4 here than anywhere in Australia, I have to V8 muscle cars, wife wants to go camping, fishing and wants a Navara so looks like another loan on the mortgage 😁

@@snapperhead1355 Ah here. Great life lad. Tax and fuel costs are mental here. Annual road tax for a v8 is over €2k euro. Then around €1.35 for a liter of petrol. But sure, it's home all the same. Thanks for getting in touch. You should make for videos of your v8. Awsome car. All the best lad

Shame you didn't climb under there sooner and do some rust prevention, In the uk Cavity wax and chassis treatments are a must, One of the reasons why my l200 & mx5 still look like new on the underside. All repairable but you will be chasing rot for the rest of its life

Nissan Ireland take note....I have an 11 reg Navara with a recently discovered faulty chassis. The jeep is in show room condition and I was offered 9k as its current value + 6K compensation by the Nissan dealer who sold it to me. The offer is only if I agreed to buy a 191 Navara for 43k here in Ireland. I consider it a bad deal as the value they put on my jeep was at least 3k short and the dealer added 3k onto the price of a new model (new one can be got for 40k in a straight deal). So really I would end up without the 6k in the deal offered by Nissan. I declined the offer and I was less than impressed with the Nissan dealer when he wished me the "best of luck getting insurance for it". I think Nissan Ireland would want to get their act together and treat their loyal customers more like Nissan do in other country's. Advice to Nissan on sorting out your bad Navara chassis here in Ireland, if you want to continue to have a business selling jeeps here, two things to remember about Ireland.....Number 1. The Irish talk... a lotNumber 2. No matter how hard we try.... the Irish cant forget.Correct me if I'm wrong but the problem with the faulty chassis goes all the way up to 161 reg!!!!!!!

Dear sir: have you considered the sort of issue electrolysis and corrosion on the chassis and earth wires.
@frankshomebrew77596 жыл бұрын
brian willoughby never did. Thought that would be an issue on the chassis rails only. All cross members were perfect. Gone 6 months ago now. Was happy enough with Nissan offer. Thanks for watching though chap. I wonder if Nassau have thought about sacrificial galvanic anodes for their new navara. Would have been cheaper on them

Hi, have a Navara myself and want to get it checked. Similar spec to yours, without the canopy and its 07, love it. Have taken a look at chassis myself and nowhere near as bad as yours looked but want to be sure.Did you go through Nissan Ireland, and if so what's the process and possible outcomes do you know? I rang Nissan customer service and the lady just talked round in circles denying any knowledge of what the process is. She said book it in to a dealer to have checked and then you'll be told what your options are after they test it. Bit worried though as I'd like to know how long I might be without a vehicle for, what is a reasonable amount to expect as a payout if it fails etc., and have heard they're now sending them to Spain to be fixed as well! I just want to be informed before going to a garage and getting options put to me on the spot. Any info would be appreciated, cheers.

Patluke2012 I am a bit out of date to what Nissan are at now as Nissan took mine over a year and 3 months ago. From what I can tell on fb you take it to a Nissan dealer and they do the check. If it needs treated they send it to Spain. I don't believe they buy them any more. But I might be wrong on this. But...if yours is 07 it may not be.in warranty I can't remember if it is 10 or 12 year. I do miss mine tbh

Patluke2012 to be honest. I would taken it to a good indi have it waxoiled inside and out as well as some preventative welding. Be better doing this than letting Nissan paint it and then say that was it and loose the car after a couple of years.

$40 on some plastic wheel arches would have prevented that. Shame Nissan couldn't be bothered to spend the little money needed. Or correctly treat the chassis rails Do you drive on salted roads or on the beach? Doesn't seem to happen as bad in Australia, just everything else fails, like the timing chain, the ABS sensors, the Fuel system, the Clutch, pretty much anything in the engine bay period!
@sheledmikymo5 жыл бұрын
it would help, but the problem was with the quality of the steel they used, they knew this quite early on, would of thought it would of been cheap for Nissan to own up quicker, and just treated the underside and inner rails etc,
