EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TAIL LIGHTS
BRAKE LAMPS CONTINUOUSLY FALL OUT OF SOCKETS. THIS PREVENTS BOTH THE TAIL LAMPS AND THE BRAKE LAMPS FROM FUNCTIONING. I FOUND A RECALL FOR THIS CONDITION, BUT IT ONLY APPLIED TO 2000 FRONTIERS.

TIRES:SIDEWALL
I'VE ONLY OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR 2 WEEKS. I HAVE DIGITAL IMAGES OF THE TIRE AND WILL SEND THEM UPON REQUEST. THE FAILURE WAS SIDEWALL BLOWOUT, NOT RESULT OF RUNNING OVER SOMETHING. I'M CONCERNED THAT THESE TIRES ARE ALL IN DANGER OF FAILURE. THE LOOK OF THE BLOW-OUT SUGGESTS SEPARATION OF MATERIAL.*AK (DOT NUMBER: W2VFNNA069 TIRESIZE: P215/65R15)

TIRES
ALL FOUR OF OUR TIRES ARE THE SAME BRAND AND DOT NUMBER. THESE TIRES ARE NOT CURRENTLY LISTED ON THE RECALL LIST. THEY CAME ON OUR 1999 NISSAN TRUCK WHEN WE PURCHASED IT NEW. ONE OF THE TIRES HAS ALREADY SEPARATED AND WAS DISCOVERED BEFORE CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. SINCE ALL 4 TIRES HAD THE SAME DOT NUMBERS, WE REPLACED ALL 4 OF THEM IMMEDIATELY WITH NON-FIRESTONE TIRES TO PREVENT AN ACCIDENT AND POSSIBLE DEATH. WE DID NOT DISCARD THE FIRESTONE TIRES IN CASE WE NEEDED THEM FOR INSPECTION PURPOSES. AGAIN, WE DO HAVE POSSESSION OF THE FIRESTONE TIRES.( DOT NUMBER: W2VF NNA TIRE SIZE: P215/65R15 )
