SUSPENSION:REAR
WE OWN TWO 2000 FRONTIERS, AN BOTH TRUCKS HAVE THE BROKEN SWAY BAR SUSPENSION BOLTS. SINCE THE ORIGINAL PRODUCTION BOTS WERE USED NISSIAN HAS INCRESED THE REPLACEMENT BOLT IN DIAMETER AND FROM A #5 HARDNESS TO A # 8 HARDNESS BOLT. THE PROBLEM IS THEY ONLY REPLACE THE FAILED BOLT THAT FAILS IF IT IS IN WARRANTY. IN BOTH 2000 TRUCKS WE OWN THE LEFT FRON BOLTS HAVE FAILED WITH AFFECT SWAY CONTROL OF THE TRUCKS NISSAN CLAIMS THEE IS NOT A PROBLEM, BUT THE LOU FUSZ NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN ST. LOUIS ADMITTED THAT THE STOCK THE BOLTS BECAUSE THEY HAVE SUCH A HIGH FAILURE RATE WITH TE TRUCKS THAT ARE COMING INTO THEIR DEALERSHIP. PERHPS IT'S TIME TO FIND OUT HOW MANY TRUCKS ARE OUT THERE WITH BROKEN SUSPENSION SYSTEMS. THE FIRST FAILED TRUCK WAS DICOVERED BY AN ALERT SERVICE INSPECTION TECH WERE WE SERVICE OUR VEHICLES. THIS SEEMS TO BE A BIGGER PROBLEM THAN NISSAN IS WILLING TO ACKNOWLEDGE.*AK

POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DRIVESHAFT
I HAVE MADE REPEATED COMPLAINTS TO VICTORY NISSAN IN RICHMOND VIRGINIA ABOUT THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE ALSO CONTACTED NISSAN DIRECTLY AND THEY NEVER EVEN ADDRESSED THE LETTER I SENT THEM DECEMBER, 2001. MY TRUCK HAS EXPERIENCED DRIVE TRAIN VIBRATIONS SINCE I PURCHASED IT AT 6900 MILES. DESPITE THE DOZENS OF TECHNICAL BULLETINS ADDRESSING THIS PROBLEM, I HAVE REPEATEDLY BEEN TOLD THAT NOTHING CAN BE DONE TO HELP MY VEHICLE. WHEN THE CENTER BEARING WAS FINALLY DISCOVERED TO BE BAD, THE DELEARSHIP REPLACED IT AND THE SHIMMY I ORIGINALLY HAD WAS THEN MAGNIFIED TO AN ATROCIOUS HARMONIC HUM. RIDING IN MY TRUCK IS LIKING RIDING ON A WASHING MACHINE. I HAVE BEEN ADVISED BY THE DEALERSHIP NOT TO HAUL LOADS OR TOW AS THE VIBRATIONS WOULD GET WORSE. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS FOR MYSELF, AND THEY ARE MUCH WORSE WHEN TOWING. MY VEHICLE IN NO WAY SERVES THE PURPOSE FOR WHICH I PURCHASED IT AND I HAVE BEEN CAST ASIDE AND IGNORED BY NISSAN SINCE MY CAR WAS ONLY 11 MONTHS OLD. I AM FED UP AND I THINK EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW WHAT A TERRIBLE VEHICLE THIS IS!*AK

SEAT BELTS:FRONT:RETRACTOR
THE FIRST SEAT BELT FAILED TO RELEASE ABOUT 30% OF THE TIME. AFTER REPLACE NO. 2 ON DEC. 2000 THAT ONE FAILED TO RELEASE ABOUT 15% OF THE TIME UNTIL IT BROKE ON JUNE10 2000. NO. 3 IS NOW ON ORDER. THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE SENSOR INSIDE THE BELT THAT TURNS ON THE SEAT BELT LIGHT. IT HANGS UP AND YOU CANNOT GET OUT! I HAVE STARTED TO CARRY A KNIFE JUST IN CASE I HAVE TO CUT THE BELT TO GET OUT. THE LONGEST I:VE FOUGHT WITH IT IS 15MIN. ITS NO FUN AND I THINK NISSAN HAS A REAL PROBLEM. I AM REAL SICK OF FIGHTING TO GET OUT OF MY TRUCK. IF THIS ONE FAILS WHAT CAN I DO TO GET THIS FIXED.I KNOW HOW TO FIX IT, BUT THE DEALER WOULD NOT LISTEN . I WILL BE IN TOUCH IF THE NO. 3 FAILS.*AK
