2002 NISSAN FRONTIER Complaints

ENTIRE VEHICLE VIBRATES AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, VIBRATION COMING FROM UNDER SEAT AREA OF CAB SOURCE IS PROBABLY CENTER CARRIER BEARING OF DRIVE SHAFT. DEALER REPLACED DRIVESHAFT AT 156MILES AFTER CONFIRMING PROBLEM ON TEST DRIVE. BUT STILL HAS VIBRATION DEALER MADE ANOTHER ATTEMPT AT REPAIR THEN ON THIRD TIME IN SHOP SAID IT WAS NORMAL. I FILED UNDER FL LEMON LAW AND MANUFACTURER REPLACED ALL 4 TIRES. BUT TRUCK STILL HAS VIBRATION, IT IS NOW MUCH MORE SEVERE AT 13000 MILES AND I AAM STILL PURSUING REPURCHASE UNDER FL LEMON LAW. I THINK YOU SHOULD INVESTIGATE THIS DEFECT AS I HAVE FIRST HAND KNOWLEDGE OF ANOTHER TRUCK WHERE THE CARRIER FAILED SUCH THAT THE REPAIRING DEALER TOLD THE OWNER THAT HE SHOULDNT DRIVE HIS TRUCK UNTIL THE BEARING WAS REPLACED BECAUSE IT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. HIS TRUCK WAS REPURCHASED BY NISSAN.*AK

WHILE CONSUMER'S WIFE WAS DRIVING ATTEMPTED TO APPLY BRAKES AND THEY FAILED, CAUSING VEHICLE TO GO OVER AN ENBANKMENT. DRIVER INJURED ANKLE WHILE TRYING TO APPLY FAILED BRAKES.*AK

FUSE FOR AT CONTROLLER BLEW CAUSING A NO START SITUATION AND RESULTED IN VEHICLE HAVING TO BE TOWED. THIS IS THE 3RD TIME THE SAME FUSE HAS BLOWN SINCE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN END OF MARCH, 2002. VEHICLE HAS BEEN BACK TO DEALER 2 TIMES WITH PROBLEM ALREADY AND PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN LOCATED OR RESOLVED. VEHICLE IS NOW BACK IN DEALERSHIP FOR 3RD TIME WITH SAME PROBLEM.

ENGINE LIGHT WILL ILLUMINATE ON DASHBOARD. DEALER HAS REPAIRED THE PROBLEM ABOUT 5 TIMES.*AK *JG

WHILE TRAVELING 80MPH ON INTERSTATE AND WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING ACCELERATOR WENT TO 30MPH FROM 80MPH. DEALERSHIP WAS AWARE OF PROBLEM.*AK

THE NISSAN SPEED LIMITER ENGAGED AT APPROXIMATELY 80MPH CAUSING ME TO ALMOST LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. NISSAN CLAIMS THAT THE SPEED LIMITER CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO START BUCKING BACK AND FORTH IS NORMAL AND HAS REFUSED TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE. THERE IS NO INFORMATION ANYWHERE IN THE OWNERS MANUAL WARNING THEM THAT THERE IS A SPEED LIMITER ON THE VEHICLE AND THAT IT MIGHT POSSIBLY ENGAGE WITHOUT WARNING CAUSING THE OPERATOR TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. IF THE SPEED LIMITER ON MY VEHICLE IS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY AS THEY CLAIM, THEN ALL NISSAN MAKES AND MODELS WOULD BE AFFECTED. *AK

WHEN PUSHING IN CLUTCH, WHEN A/C OR DEFROST IS ENGUAGED ENGINE IDLES HIGH BETWEEN 1500-2000 RPMS IDLE SEEMS TO FLUCTUATE WHEN COMING TO A STOP OR IN NEUTRAL IDLE IS NORMAL*AK

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE SUDDENLY STARTED TO SHAKE AND VIBRATE ERRATICALLY, AND THEN VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUTDOWN. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION*AK.

WHILE DRIVING AT ABOUT 70 TO 75, UNDER ACCELERATION, I HEARD A LOUD NOISE AND THEN THE VEHICLE'S RPMS DROPPED DOWN TO ABOUT 500 AS IF THE VEHICLE HAD NO GAS. I PULLED OVER AND TURNED THE TRUCK OFF I MADE SURE THAT THERE WAS GAS, AND STARTED THE VEHICLE AGAIN AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. IT SEEMED TO RUN AT ABOUT THE CORRECT RPM SO I TOOK IT DIRECTLY TO THE DEALER. THEY HAD IT FOR A WEEK, AND ULTIMATELY SAID THAT IT WAS A BAD OXYGEN SENSOR (THE VEHICLE IS SUPERCHARGED) THAT CAUSED THE PROBLEM. I AM NOT TOO CONFIDENT IN THAT EXPLANATION. GOD WILLING, THE PROBLEM IS FIXED. THE TRUCK WAS ONLY 3 WEEKS OLD AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT.*AK

I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY CHILD OR MYSELF SITTING IN THE JUMPER SEATS OF THIS TRUCK. I WAS TOLD BY DOT THAT A 3 PT. SEAT BEAT WAS SAFEST. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT CHILDREN SIT IN THE BACK OF VEHICLES, BUT SINCE THERE IS ONLY A LAP BELT, HOW SAFE IS IT FOR A 6 YEAR OLD TO SIT IN THE JUMPER SEAT? DOES CRASH TESTS SHOW THAT THE LAP BELT IS SUFFICIENT FOR ADULTS SITTING IN THE JUMPER SEAT?*AK
