Rust Around Rear Window
2017 Nissan Pathfinder
This problem may be covered under warranty. Ask your Nissan dealer.
CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2017 was redesigned with new fascia and headlights, but what will be particularly interesting to watch will be the new, direct-injected V6 engine with CVT. Nissan's history with CVTs has been shaky at best.

Hey Nissan, it's 2019 and my 2017 (2 y/o) Pathfinder PLATINUM model has started to rust around the rear hatch window, exhaust, and sub-frame.
I visited my local Nissan dealer in Stanhope NJ and was advise the "bubbling rust" on the sub frame is normal.
The young service Rep tried blowing it off as simple "Surface Rust" and stated that's "normal" and not to worry because it will "not get worse" for at least 5 - 10 years. After he repeated this several times, while attempting to get the Service Tech to side with him was very annoying and unprofessional.
Minimizing an obvious defect really annoyed me (I've been around cars 50+ years), surface rust is one thing however bubbling rust is a different story all together.
NO 2 YEAR-OLD VEHICLE SHOULD START RUSTING OUT. Unfortunately Nissan covers RUST only for 3 years/36,000 miles... it's SHAMEFUL because Hyundai warranties rust to 10yrs/100,000 miles.
I'm hoping the Rep from Nissan will get back to me with some intelligent answers.
