Possible structural problem with 95 Maxima's

I found this link that states there could be a defect with 1995 Maxima's only where in a severe accident you could be seriously injured due to the defect. The problem was corrected with 1996+ Maxima's. Seemed interesting, thought you guys might want to read about it.

I would guess some subframe braces would help out in this type of situation.

I don't think this is much of a problem....cause I have a friend that used to have a 95 and he slammed into 1 car front on at 60, then a car in the oncoming intersection T-boned him....and about 40....and he walked away without a scratch...., he mentioned the others car (one a honda accord and the other a buick lesabre) were tin canned...and almost inrecognizable....both to those drivers had minor injuries...

so I think the 95 maxima is a pretty safe automobile...
