Steering

THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT. I HAD MY VEHICLE REPAIRED BY A DEALER (POWER STEERING). NOW I HAVE A LEAK IN THE POWER STEERING. THEY SAY THEY DID NOT CAUSE THE LEAK. I SAY THEY DID. *TR

Suspension, wheels

FOR THE SECOND TIME IN LESS THEN THREE YEARS MY REAR AXEL AND WHEEL HAVE COME LOOSE AND VERY CLOSE TO FALLING OFF. BOTH TIMES THE MECHANICS TOLD ME IT WAS BECAUSE OF A BROKEN WASHER. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND THAT OTHER FRONTIER OWNERS HAVE HAD SIMILAR AXEL PROBLEMS. MECHANICS HAVE TOLD ME THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF FRONTIER REAR AXEL PROBLEMS. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN FOR MYSELF AND FOR OTHER FRONTIER OWNERS. THIS PROBLEM COULD CAUSE SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS ACCIDENTS THAT COULD INJURE OR KILL PEOPLE. I WAS BLESSED THAT BOTH TIMES MY REAR AXEL FAILED I WAS ONLY GOING AT A SLOW SPEED. IF IT HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY AT A HIGHER SPEED I WOULD HATE TO THINK WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN. AXLES COMING LOOSE SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING. NISSAN SHOULD STEP UP AND DEAL WITH THIS MAJOR SAFETY PROBLEM. *TR

AS I APPROACHED A STOP SIGN ON A SECONDARY PAVED HIGHWAY ENTERING A PRIMARY HIGHWAY, THE ABOVE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SKID ON A THIN LAYER OF GRAVEL LAID DOWN ON THE BLACKTOP FOR RECENT ICE AND SNOW CONTROL. THE ROAD WAS CURRENTLY CLEAR AND DRY. I APPLIED THE BRAKES WHICH WENT HALFWAY TO THE FLOORBOARD WITHOUT ANTILOCK ACTION. CONCURRENTLY THE ACCELERATOR MAINTAINED THE CURRENT SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 20 MILES PER HOUR. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED THROUGH THE STOP SIGN ON A COLLISION COURSE WITH AN ONCOMING VEHICLE FROM THE LEFT MOVING AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MILES PER HOUR. WITHOUT CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE IT CONTINUED ON ITS OWN ACROSS THE PRIMARY HIGHWAY MISSING THE REAR OF THE ONCOMING VEHICLE BY A FOOT OR TWO. THE OTHER DRIVER APPEARED NOT TO BE AWARE OF MY INABILITY TO STOP AND POSSIBLY DIDN'T EVEN REALIZE THE INCIDENT OCCURRED. FORTUNATELY THERE WERE NO VEHICLES IN THE OPPOSITE LANE COMING MY DIRECTION AND I SPEEDED UP TO CLEAR THE HIGHWAY AND CONTINUE ON THE SECONDARY ROAD. AT THAT POINT M...

Fuel System, Gasoline

FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT REGISTER PROPERLY. I HAVE ALREADY REPLACED THE FUEL CAP ONCE AND HAD THE TRUCK IN FOR REPAIRS A COUPLE OF TIMES. THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT IS ON ALMOST CONSTANTLY AND WHEN THE FUEL GETS DOWN TO 1/4-1/8 OF A TANK, THE GAUGE WILL GO UP TO 3/4 A TANK INDICATING THAT THERE IS MORE GAS THERE THAN THERE ACTUALLY IS. IF I DO NOT KEEP TRACK OF IT, I CAN EASILY RUN OUT OF GAS. *TR
