VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE NISSAN SPEED LIMITER ENGAGED AT APPROXIMATELY 80MPH CAUSING ME TO ALMOST LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. NISSAN CLAIMS THAT THE SPEED LIMITER CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO START BUCKING BACK AND FORTH IS NORMAL AND HAS REFUSED TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE. THERE IS NO INFORMATION ANYWHERE IN THE OWNERS MANUAL WARNING THEM THAT THERE IS A SPEED LIMITER ON THE VEHICLE AND THAT IT MIGHT POSSIBLY ENGAGE WITHOUT WARNING CAUSING THE OPERATOR TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. IF THE SPEED LIMITER ON MY VEHICLE IS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY AS THEY CLAIM, THEN ALL NISSAN MAKES AND MODELS WOULD BE AFFECTED. *AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
BEING A FORMER MECHANIC AND OWNING A 1995 NISSAN PREVIOUSLY I AM APPALLED AT THE PERFORMANCE OF THE BRAKING SYSTEM.NUMEROUS TIMES WHEN BRAKING I CAN FEEL THE PEDAL PULSATE AND THE SYSTEM ONLY HAD MINIMAL BRAKING FORCE ALTHOUGH I APPLIED EXTREME PRESSURE TO THE PEDAL.I AM CERTAIN THERE IS A DESIGN FLAW,FOR I WOULD NEVER HAD THIS ACCIDENT IN MY 1995 NISSAN PICK-UP AND I'M CERTAIN SOMEONE IS GOING TO LOSE THEIR LIFE.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:CARBURETOR SYSTEM
APPROXIMATELY 2/3 OF THE PERFORATED HOLES IN THE AIR INTAKE COWL WERE NOT PROPERLY PERFORATED OPEN. AS A RESULT, THE AIR CONDITIONER MUST BE OPERATED TO KEEP THE VEHICLE COOL DURING ALL BUT VERY COLD OUTSIDE CONDITIONS. THIS IS COSTLY AT THE LEAST, BUT POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS IF HAZARDOUS FUMES EVER GOT INTO THE PASSENGER CAB. MY FIRST TRIP TO THE DEALER GOT THE RESPONSE THAT "ALL FRONTIERS ARE THAT WAY". A CALL TO NISSAN NO. AMERICA, REFERRING TO YOUR COMPLAINT ODI ID: 897023 ADVISED THAT ALL THE PERFORATIONS ARE NOT PIERCED AS A DESIGN FEATURE THAT VARIES BETWEEN MODELS". EVEN IF ALL THE PERFORATIONS WERE PIERCED, THE TOTAL FREE AREA WOULD ONLY BE 1.5 SQUARE INCHES WHICH IS NOT ENOUGH IN MY OPINION O SUPPORT ADEQUATE FRESH AIR INTAKE. EVEN IF ALL THE PERFORATIONS WERE ELININATED AND JUST THE SMALL GRIDS WERE LEFT, THE FREE AREA WOULD BE 12.98 SQUARE INCHES WHICH IS PROBABLY "JUST RIGHT" FOR THE FAN. ALL THE FRONTIERS AND XTERRA HAVE THIS TYPE OF COWL GRILL. IT IS A GREAT MONEY SAVING IDEA SINCE AN OPEN MESH SCREEN IS USED IN SOME OF NISSAN'S MODELS AND THAT HAS THE COST OF THE SCREEN AND THE LABOR TO PLACE AS AN ADDED COST. WITH A SECOND TRIP TO THE DEALER, A SCRATCH AWL WAS INSERTED IN EACH GRID AT MY INSISTANCE TO AT LEAST OPEN UP THE GRIDS, BUT THE PLASTIC STILL COVERS THE OPEN AREAS. CAN NISSAN ADVISE IF THEIR DRAIN IS CAPABLE OF ACCEPTING SMALL DEBRIS THAT COULD GET THROUGH AN OPEN GRID? *SLC

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:CARBURETOR SYSTEM
WHEN ON THE VENT SETTING HOT AIR FLOWS CONTINUOUSLY INTO THE TRUCK EVEN THOUGH THE TEMPERATURE IS SET ON THE COLDEST SETTING. TEMPERATURE HAS BEEN MEASURED AT 118F WHEN THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE WAS 70 F. AFTER TRIPS TO TWO DEALERS AND THE REPLACEMENT OF THE INTAKE AIR VENTS THE PROBLEM IS STILL PRESENT. EFFORTS TO REQUEST THAT NISSAN NORTH AMERICA CORRECT THIS PROBLEM HAVE MET WITH STATEMENTS OF THIS IS NORMAL OPERATION. THIS CONTINUOS INTRODUCTION OF HEAT INTO THE INTERIOR SERIOUSLY IMPACTS PASSENGER COMFORT AND THE OPERATION OF THE VENTILATION SYSTEM.*AK
