TIRES
THE TIRE W/TRACTION RATING OF "B" IS INADEQUATE FOR THE WEIGHT OF THE TRUCK. IN WET CONDITIONS THE TRUCK WILL SKID (WHEN APPROACHING A STOP SIGN)WHEN BRAKING. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN (CLAIM NO. 2889591) AND WAS TOLD THAT IT IS NEITHER GENERAL 'S OR NISSAN'S RESPONSIBILTY. I DISAGREED WITH NISSAN AND INFORMED THEM THAT THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR SELECTING THIS TIRE FOR THE TRUCK.( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P235 70R15 )

#710657August 29, 1999
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.

#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
