Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“While towing a 600 lb trailer (aproximate inside cargo was 100 lbs)with my Nissan frontier(weight recommendation of 2000 lbs or less as stated in owner's manual), the rear bumper broke also causing my trailer to ram into the broken bumper.no one was injured but Nissan isn't backing thier product with my warranty. They are saying that I should not have been towing, if so why would the owner's manual have spec's on how much weight you can tow and besides who ever heard of a truck that you can't use for towing?”

NHTSA complaint #10030647, filed 2003-08, 6,900 miles

“Front bracket for driver's side running board has broken twice, this part suffered a fatigue fracture at the weld of the 2 parts that make up the bracket, starting where the weld undercut the base metal. Had this part failed at highway speed it would have acted as a spear when it came loose.”
