AIR BAGS:SIDE/WINDOW
AM INTERESTED IN ANY REPORTED INSTANCES OF EITHER DRIVER OR PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAGS NOT DEPLOYING ON THIS MAKE/MODEL VEHICLE. I WAS INVOLVED IN A MOVING ACCIDENT WITH A LARGE DEER 0615 AM 30 JAN 01. I DIDN'T GIVE MUCH THOUGHT TO THE BAG/BAGS NOT DEPLOYING UNTIL BOTH THE INSURANCE REP AND THEIR APPRAISER WERE REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE BAGS NOT DEPLOYING. *AK

POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DIFFERENTIAL UNIT
ON CHRISMAS DAY, MY FATHER AND I WERE DRIVING MY NISSAN PU ON ROUTE 29 IN VIRGINIA AT ABOUT 55 MPH. A SUDDEN AND SEVERE JERK WAS FELT TWICE AND WE PULLED OFF AND CHECKED THE TRUCK FOR DAMMAGE. NO OBVIOUS EXTERNAL DAMAGE WAS NOTED AT THAT TIME BUT THERE WAS A GRINDING NOISE NOTED WHEN TRUCK WAS PUT IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE LOW. NORMAL FUNCTION NOTED IN 4 HIGH AND 3 HIGH. ON 1/2/2001 AT DEALERSHIP ...THE LEFT FRONT 4X4 HUB COVER WAS NOTED TO BE MISSING AND THE HUB HAD SPIRAL CRACKS ALL AROUND IT. THE DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO CONFIRM THIS AS A TORQUE FRACTURE AND REFUSED TO ENTERTAIN ANY THOUGHT THAT THE TRUCK THEY HAD SOLD HAD MALFUNCTIONED. NOT ONLY WAS THIS INCIDENT SCARY BUT I AM JUST THANKFUL THAT MY FATHER AND I WERE NOT IN A HIGH SPEED ACCIDENT DUE TO THIS FAILURE. *AK

SEAT BELTS:FRONT
THE FRONT PASSENGER SEATBELT COULD NOT BE PULLED OUT FOR USAGE. IT HAS BEEN ALMOST A MONTH SINCE NOTIFYING NISSAN AND NISSAN HAS YET TO CONTACT ME TO STATE THE ARRIVAL OF THE PART--- NISSAN HAS MENTIONED THAT THIS PART IS ON "BACK-ORDER BECAUSE THERE ARE 'MANY' OTHER NISSAN VEHICLES OUT THERE THAT ARE REQUESTING FOR THE SAME DEFECTIVE PART." NISSAN FURTHER STATED THAT ORDERING THE PART "MAKE TAKE MONTHS." NISSAN IS, THEREFORE, AWARE OF THIS SEATBELT DEFECT BUT HAS REFUSED TO OFFER THEIR CONSUMERS A RENTAL FOR THEIR SAFETY WHILE THEY(NISSAN) 'LOCATE' A REPLACEMENT FOR THE DEFECTIVE SEATBELT. FOR THE PUBLIC'S SAFETY, PLEASE NOTIFY THE PUBLIC REGARDING THIS DEFECT IN THE SEATBELT AND CONTACT NISSAN TO ASK THEM TO EXPEDITE THE PROCESS OF OBTAINING THE PART. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND KIND CONSIDERATION. *AK

VISIBILITY:REARVIEW MIRRORS/DEVICES
PASSENGER SIDE MIRROR IS THE CHEAP MODEL THAT DOES NOT GIVE THE CORRECT DISTANCE OF THE VEHICLE ON THAT SIDE. IT IS NOT NORMAL FOR A PERSON TO LOOK AT THE DRIVER SIDE MIRROR (WHICH IS TRUE) THE INSIDE MIRROR (WHICH IS TRUE) AND THEN YOUR EYES HAVE TO CHANGE FOCUS BECAUSE PASSENGER SIDE MIRROR IS LIKE LOOKING THROUGH A MICROSCOPE. THIS IS NOT A NORMAL DEMAND ON YOUR EYES AND VERY DANGEROUS AT THE FREEWAY HIGHT SPEEDS BECAUSE OF DESECPTIVE DISTANCE PERCEIVED AFTER LOOKING THROUGH LEFT SIDE OR INSIDE MIRROR. I AM ASKING FOR A RECALL OF ALL THESE CHEAP MIRRORS AND HAVE ALMOST HAD ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THE DECEPTION OF THESE MIRRORS. AT THE COST OF THE VEHICLES THESE DAYS, THEY SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO PUT THIS CHEAP MIRROR AT A PLACE THAT IS VERY KEY TO TODAY'S DRIVERS SAFETY.
