Example complaints

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

“Nothing happened to me yet. But I've been reading reports of this frame rust the same way in other trucks. I think there's integrity issue with the frame Nissan made. The rest of my truck is flawless no body rust. Was there a recall put out I just haven't heard of it? I just want to report it to make sure that Nissan might be aware of the problem.”
