2002 NISSAN FRONTIER Complaints

TAKATA INFLATORS: UNDERSTANDING THAT IT IS A SUPERCHARGER AND IT WILL NOT GET THE FUEL MILEAGE AS A FOUR-CYLINDER VEHICLE I SHOULD NOT BE GOING THROUGH THIS MUCH GAS AND I DO NOT HAVE MY FOOT IN IT ALL THE TIME ALSO MY FRONT DRIVER SEAT IS ABOUT TO DISMANTLE FROM THE FLOOR THERE IS A LOT OF ELECTRICAL ISSUES WHICH I'M NOT SURE IF THAT IS WHAT IS CAUSING SENSOR PROBLEMS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS NOW ON AGAIN. I HAVE HAD OVER $3000 OF MY OWN MONEY PUT INTO THIS TRUCK ALONG WITH ANOTHER USED MOTOR AND SUPERCHARGER PUT IN RIGHT AFTER PURCHASING THIS TRUCK USED I WOULD NOT HAVE PREFERRED THEM BUYING USED I WANTED REMANUFACTURED BUT IT WAS NOT MY CHOICE THEY SAID. THE BED OF THE TRUCK IS ALSO RIDING OUT THE BRAKE SYSTEM I ALSO HAVE TO REDO AGAIN WHICH I SHOULD NOT HAVE ANY ISSUES. AND FOR A SUPERCHARGER IT SHOULD HAVE A LOT MORE POWER THAN IT DOES. I HAVE DOCUMENTATION TO PROVE THAT I HAVE SPENT SO FAR RECEIPTS AND I DO NOT EVEN LIKE TAKING THE HIGHWAY AT TIMES BECAUSE I JUST DON'T FEEL LIKE IT SAFE ENOUGH TO BE HONEST WITH YOU AND I SHOULD NOT FEEL THAT WAY WHEN I JUST PURCHASED THIS TRUCK NOT EVEN A YEAR AGO. THIS IS THE FIRST USED TRUCK I HAVE EVER PURCHASED WHERE I HAVE HAD SO MANY ISSUES WITH IT I DON'T KNOW WHETHER NOT TO BLAME MYSELF TO USE DEALERSHIP OR THE TRUCK ITSELF I FELL IN LOVE WITH THE TRUCK AT FIRST SIGHT BUT I WILL NEVER DO THAT AGAIN. WHEN IT RAINS AND I'M ON THE HIGHWAY I WILL LOSE POWER ALMOST TO THE POINT WHERE I THINK THE ENGINE AND THE ENGINE WELL ALMOST SHUT OFF I WILL HAVE TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY SHUT THE TRUCK DOWN LET IT SIT FOR ABOUT A MINUTE OR TWO TURN IT BACK ON AND THEN PROCEED IF I STILL IN LOSING POWER I WILL HAVE TO SHUT IT OFF AGAIN AND THEN WAIT UNTIL THE TRUCK IS READY IN ORDER FOR IT TO HAVE ITS POWER BACK I DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS I'M NOT SURE IF TOO MUCH RAIN IS GETTING INTO THE ENGINE AND I'M NOT SURE WHY

WHILE DRIVING MY STEERING WHEEL SHAFT SNAPPED AND THEN I FIND OUT THERE WAS A RECALL THAT I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED ABOUT. *TR

BRAKES FAILED ON PUBLIC ROADWAY, COULD NOT STOP VEHICLE, CRASHED INTO WALL TO STOP VEHICLE, CAUSING SERIOUS BODILY INJURIES.

IN JUST UNDER 14 YEARS OF OWNING THIS VEHICLE, I NOW HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE GAS TANK A THIRD TIME DUE TO LEAKAGE. I DO NOT FEEL THAT THIS SHOULD BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE OWNER, DUE TO THE FREQUENCY OF THIS HAPPENING. I BELIEVE THESE TANKS ARE A BAD DESIGN AND WITH POOR MATERIAL TO RUST OUT AND LEAK IN SUCH SHORT PERIODS OF TIME. I JUST CAN;T BELIEVE THERE HAVE NOT BEEN NUMEROUS INJURIES OR ANY DEATHS DUE TO THESE GAS TANKS. I HAVE ATTACHED PICTURES OF THE SECOND GAS TANK THAT WAS REPLACES ABOUT 6-7 YEARS AGO. AND YOU CAN DEFINITELY SEE THAT IT HAS BEEN LEAKING. BY THE WAY. MY TRUCK HAS ALWAYS BEEN GARAGE KEPT AND I HAVE YET TO FIND SOMEONE THAT BELIEVES MY TRUCK IS THAT OLD DUE TO HOW NICE THAT IT STILL LOOKS INSIDE AND OUT.
