problem #1

Jun 122002

Frontier

  • miles
On June 12th,2002, the left-side tailgate of my 2001 Frontier truck spontaneously detached itself from the body of the vehicle. And, for the sake of my safety and the vehicles around me, I could not immediately pull over to stop the vehicle. Hence, while I drove, this "dangling" tailgate continually banged the bumper and various areas of the vehicle, causing paint damage, indentations, and a grave safety hazard for myself and the surrounding vehicles/people. Thankfully, the tailgate did not completely fly off of the vehicle to cause further injury and/or fatality to myself nor the surrounding vehicles/people. To this date (two months after informing the manufacturer), my vehicle has not been repaired and no one from Nissan has contacted me regarding resolving and remedying this defect and grave safety hazard.
