“This is the second time in over several months that my driver side drive axle for my 4x4 has pulled its self out. It was fixed once on my dime and is now going to be fixed on my dime again it is a dangerous failure that could cause my suspension to lock up an rip my wheel off then leading to a serious accident. It needs to be addressed and the NHTSA has done nothing to pursue this. …”

“While loading truck for a vacation trip, I noticed a large bulge coming up through the truck bed in the left rear portion. Upon further inspection, the left rear shackle holding holding the leaf spring to the frame snapped in half. The truck is a garage kept, 35,000 mile limited personal use vehicle. If I had not been going away, the spring would have pushed its way through the bed.”

“Failure of front control arms, according to Nissan website (many other vehicles were recalled for same, not mine) this could result in collision. Mechanic stated the wheel would come off with failure. Nissan dealership discovered the weld was failing and told me they had to be replaced, but that while 1800+ vehicles were shown to be affected by this issue, my VIN number was not on list. Nissan needs to expand their recall.”

This was able to be replaced under warranty.”
