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

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.
