For passenger cars, the average age has hit a record high of 11.4 years, while the average age of light trucks has increased to a record 11.3 years, Polk said. The latest data is based on a review of over 247 million U.S. car and light truck registrations in January, Polk said.Aug 6, 2013

I have an 11 year old Corolla. ALL the paint is still like new. Same with my 8 year old Yaris. And I live in the salty northeast.
This insures I never buy a Nissan. Good one Nissan.

Companies that produce junk should not be rewarded with a sale. All it does is encourage them to produce more junk.
Notice in the video below. I was watching it and everything seemed routine and like sound advice, until 00:59. So if I have to move the car out of the garage and turn it off quickly. When I come back, my Renault/Nissan may not start??????

Interesting article but who cares, everyone knows that Manufactures don't care about the 2nd owner, especially the 5th owner when the car is 10 years old.
As for rust on the Altima, no different then the issue with 10 year old 4Runners and Tacomas, but once again who cares, the dealers don't even care, take that old thing down the road

Yet another reason why I will not buy a Renault/ Nissan no matter how good they look. There's also a video of a local news channel reporting on owners who are having CVT shudders from their 2013+ pathfinders but I can't find the video. I feel for the guy in the video below. He finally got it started in the end, but I think he revved it waaaay too hard though. It seems like (with a few exceptions) the newer the Nissan, the more Renault it has and the more problems it has and will have.
