problem #6

Jul 012006

Frontier 4WD 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 63,000 miles
- the contact stated that while driving the 2000 Nissan Frontier at 45 mph she heard a loud noise at the rear of the vehicle. The contact was informed that the noise was due to corrosion of the bearings. The bearings corroded because of inadequate sealing of the antilock breaking system, which caused water and moisture to reach the bearings. The dealership repaired the left side axle, and installed bearings. The contact stated there was a recall for the same problem. However, was informed by the dealership that this vehicle was not apart of the recall. The vehicle currently had 63000 miles. Updated 03/19/07.

Consumer states that the vehicle failed its Missouri state inspection due to the broken front sway bar stabilizer connecting rod, Nissan changed the design by increasing the diameter of the bolt and increasing the hardness from a 5 to an 8, yet denied any problem to the consumer.

We own two 2000 Frontiers, an both trucks have the broken sway bar suspension bolts. Since the original production bots were used nissian has incresed the replacement bolt in diameter and from a #5 hardness to a # 8 hardness bolt. The problem is they only replace the failed bolt that fails if it is in warranty. In both 2000 trucks we own the left fron bolts have failed with affect sway control of the trucks Nissan claims thee is not a problem, but the lou fusz Nissan dealership in St. Louis admitted that the stock the bolts because they have such a high failure rate with te trucks that are coming into their dealership. Perhps it's time to find out how many trucks are out there with broken suspension systems. The first failed truck was dicovered by an alert service inspection tech were we service our vehicles. This seems to be a bigger problem than Nissan is willing to acknowledge.

Rear suspension to soft, vehicle reacts with body sway to wind turbulence around 60 mph, side wind, side around semi-trucks. Feels like tire bad tire drift, dealer rotated tires, no-help. Body sway bad enough it's scary to drive sometimes, wife won't on expressway. There has to be a fix.
