Vehicle rolls-not slides out of driveway while vehicle in park and not running while on snow and ice does not do so when in 4 wheel drive. Nissan dealer has seen videos but says nothing wrong. Lived in house since 1985 and no car has ever rolled out. Only under certain winter conditions does this happen such as wet packed snow.. was nearly ran over one day getting mail. Video show no key, in park and all 4 tires rotating forward. Second video shows no key, in park 3 wheels rotating forward and 1 rear wheel rotating backward as pickup rolls forward. One dealer could see problem and told me to put blocks behind wheels. Second complaint. Rear bumper has significant rust around license plate, rest of bumper ok. Nissan says because of winter chemicals. Brought this to their attention 4 years ago when pickup had 7835 miles. In 4 years I have attempted to find another pickup approximate same age any make with rust from chemicals. I have the only one in (redacted). Why rust behind license plate which is protected from chemical. The past 4 years I ave made a minimum of 15 trips, calls, letters all to be told nothing wrong, nothing we can do. Feel as though the big company is bullying the little person. Can send photos, video correspondence separately-not computer savvy. First incident at dealer was 2/27/2018. Might add this is a great pickup, which I can never sell in good faith knowing the dangerous condition on snow and ice.

While changing the passenger side rear tire of the 2013 Nissan Frontier, one of the wheel lug studs was found to be loose and went half way in. I tried to pull the wheel lug stud with my finger and it won?T come out. I tightened the other four nuts on the wheel lug studs and started to drive to the dealer. While driving on the parkway close to the resting area, I felt like my rear passenger side wheel locked up, I stopped the vehicle and I looked at the rear wheel lug stud that felt like it was stuck halfway in the wheel. One of the two truck drivers asked what the problem was. I told them that I am having a problem with the rear passenger side wheel lug stud because the wheel lug stud seemed to be caught in the brakes. Tow truck driver took a very small screw driver and pushed the wheel lug stud further in and asked if I could move my truck. The wheel got free after he pushed the wheel lug stud further. I was able to move the vehicle in to the parking lot. I called one of my friend, a retired auto mechanic. He came over and opened the wheel and took out the wheel lug stud and the vehicle was drivable. I asked him to take the vehicle to the dealer. This retired mechanic told me that usually these wheel lug stud are supposed to be sealed and shouldn't be loose and wobbly. This could have been very life threatening if this had happened while driving 65 mph on the parkway.
