SEAT BELTS:REAR/OTHER
I AM LOOKING FOR INFORMATION CONCERNING THE SAFETY OF THE REAR FOLD DOWN JUMP SEATS FOUND IN THE NISSAN FRONTIER EXTENDED CAB. I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT THESE SEATS MEET ANY SAFETY STANDARDS FOR TRANSPORTING CHILDEREN. THEY ARE EQUIPPED WITH ONLY LAP BELTS AND RESEARCH I HAVE DONE STATES THAT PICKUP TRUCKS DO NOT HAVE TO MEET THE SAME PASSENGER SAFETY STANDARDS THAT PASSENGER CARS DO. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.

#709985August 14, 1999
STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS
THE FRAME WAS MIS-ENGINEERED IN MASS, ORIENTATION AND DESIGN TO ACCOMODATE THE CHASSIS THAT WOULD BE RIDING ON TOP OF IT, SO MUCH SO THAT THE DRIVER FEELS A CONSTANT SHUDDERING, A NEARLY CONSTANT STEERING WHEEL CHATTER, AND POOR DAMPENING ON EVEN SMOOTH OR SLIGHTLY BUMPY ROADS. THE VEHICLE ALSO EXPERIENCES A FEELING OF ROAD WEARINESS AND SLOPPYNESS IN TURNS. I HAVE CONSULTED WITH OTHER OWNERS AND THEY (AND A NISSAN ENGINEER) SAY IT'S CONFIRMED THAT THE VIBRATION IS EMENATING FROM THE BACK WHERE THE ESPECIALLY POOR DESIGN EXISTS AND IS CHANNELED/AMPLIFIED ALONG THE WAY UP TO THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE.

#708372July 8, 1999
SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:MASTER CYLINDER
TWO INCIDENTS OF BRAKE FAILURE. THE FIRST TIME ABOUT A MONTH AGO WHEN THE BRAKES FAILED, THEY DID ENGAGE AND STARTED WORKING AFTER PUMPING THEM SEVERAL TIMES. ON JUNE 8, 1999 THE BRAKES FAILED AGAIN EVEN AFTER PUMPING THEM AND PUTTING THE BRAKE PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE GROUND, AND THE VEHICLE RAN INTO A FENCE IN ORDER TO STOP. A POLICE REPORT WAS TAKEN AT THE SITE, AND BOTH POLICE OFFICERS AGREED THAT THERE WERE NO SKID MARKS AND IN FACT THIS COULD BE A MASTER CYLINDER PROBLEM. THE TRUCK WAS TOWED TO A BODY SHOP AND REPAIRED (APPROX. COST $4000.00). WEST VALLEY NISSAN IN GLENDALE AND PINNACLE NISSAN IN SCOTTSDALE BOTH EXAMINED THE VEHICLE AND STATED THAT THEY DID NOT NOTE ANY FAILURES IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM OR MASTER CYLINDER. IT WAS STATED THAT MR. MOORE, A NISSAN REPRESENTATIVE, INSPECTED THE VEHICLE WITH THE SAME REPORT. THERE HAS BEEN NO EXPLANATION ON WHY THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK! THIS IS NOT THE FIRST INCIDENT BUT THE SECOND! BOTH THE POLICE AND A SERVICE ADVISOR AT PINNACLE NISSAN EXPLAINED THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER CAN IN FACT WORK INTERMITTENTLY. MY BIGGEST FEAR IS PUTTING THIS VEHICLE BACK ON THE ROAD AND DRIVING AT A SPEED THAT I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO STOP SAFELY AND COULD EITHER CAUSE EXCESSIVE PROPERTY DAMAGE, INJURY OR DEATH. WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND IS THAT I PURCHASED THE EXTENDED BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY ON THIS VEHICLE. WHY DON'T THEY JUST CHANGE OUT THE MASTER CYLINDER INSTEAD OF THE POSSIBILITY AND LIABILITY OF ANOTHER ACCIDENT. AT THIS MOMENT THE VEHICLE IS STILL AT THE PINNACLE NISSAN DEALER BECAUSE I REFUSE TO PUT THE VEHICLE BACK ON THE ROAD.

#704566March 17, 1999
VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE, POWER TRAIN:AXLE ASSEMBLY
PROBLEM 1) DIFFICULT TO START WHEN ENGINE IS HOT AND TRUCK HAS SAT FOR 1-4 HOURS PROBLEM 2) VIBRATION IN DRIVELINE UNDER LIGHT ACCELERATION IN OVERDRIVE AND WHEN TRUCK BED HAS WEIGHT IN IT VIRATION OCCURS ALL THE TIME. DEALER HAD TRUCK FOR THREE TIMES BEFORE DECIDING TO SHIM THE REAREND WHICH HAS NOT HELPED ANY. I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM IS WITH NISSANS BRAND NEW TRANSMISSION THAT IS IN THIS TRUCK BUT IT SEEMS THEY DONT WANT TO ACCEPT THAT FACT. I HAVE GONE AS FAR AS TO HAVE A NISSAN ENGINEER FROM DENVER LOOK AT THIS TRUCK BUT STILL NO FIX. PROBLEM 3) PASSANGER SIDE DOOR GLASS IS LOOSE IN THE FRAME AND RATTLES-DEALER HAS NOT YET BEEN NOTIFIED ABOUT THIS LATEST PROBLEM ON THE CRAPPY TRUCK. ALSO TO LET YOU KNOW THERE HAVE BEEN PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES THAT THE DEALER MANAGED TO FIX AFTER THE 3RD TRIP FOR REPAIRS
