1995 Nissan D21

THE ENTIRE FRAME OF THE 1995 NISSAN HARDBODY PICKUP IS RUSTING APART, THIS IS THE SECOND TRUCK OF THIS TYPE IVE OWNED AND HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. IT IS NO LONGER DEEMED SAFE BY MECHANICS TO MEET N.C.D.M.V. INSPECTION STANDARDS . THE PROBLEM IS FROM THE SAME AS THE NISSAN FRONTIER TRUCKS RECALLED, COIL ROLLED FRAME AND NO DRAINAGE FOR WATER, MUD, SALT ETC ON THE BOTTOM OF THE FRAME. THE VEHICLE IS A TOTAL LOSS X2 SINCE THIS IS THE SECOND NISSAN I HAVE OWNED. THANKS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1995 NISSAN PICKUP TRUCK. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE FRONT AND REAR FRAME WAS CORRODED AND EXHIBITING HOLES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THEY DIAGNOSED THE CORROSION FAILURE BUT PROVIDED NO ASSISTANCE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALSO CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR THE VEHICLE AND OFFERED NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT WAS NO LONGER COMFORTABLE OPERATING THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 135,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 136,000. UPDATED 06/06/12 *BF

I BOUGHT A ONE OWNER LOW MILEAGE 63,000 MILES 1995 NISSAN KING CAB 4X4 TRUCK. I TOOK IT IN FOR A OIL CHANGE AND WAS REFUSED SERVICE DUE TO THE FRAME DEEMED UNSAFE TO SUPPORT THE VEHICLE WHILE RESTING ON THE VEHICLE LIFT. I HAVE DOCUMENTED WORK ORDERS FROM ZIEBART STATING WHEN NEW FROM THE DEALER UNDERCOATING WAS APPLIED AND YEARLY INSPECTED FOR THE DURATION OF THE IMPLIED WARRANTY (10 YRS). STILL THE FRAME IS 40% GONE. DOES NISSAN UNDERSTAND MY BLUE BOOK VALUED TRUCK OF $5,300.00 IS NOT ONLY WORTHLESS IT COULD KILL ME OR OTHERS WHEN THE FRAME DOES COLLAPSE UNDER NORMAL HIGHWAY USAGE. PLEASE NISSAN DO SOMETHING! *TR

THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN A ONE OWNER TRUCK. I HAVE CAREFULLY MAINTAINED AND HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO STOP A SERIOUS FRAME RUST PROBLEM. I HAVE CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALER AND CORPORATE USA NISSAN. NISSAN HAS REFUSED TO ADDRESS MY REPEATED REQUESTS FOR ASSISTANCE WITH THIS MATTER. I CAN NOT BE CERTAIN AT WHAT POINT THE TRUCK BECOMES UNSAFE TO OPERATE. NISSAN NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE ASAP TO PREVENT ANY SAFETY PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE AS OTHER MANUFACTURES HAVE IN THE PAST. *KB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1995 NISSAN PICKUP. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS BEING EXAMINED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHEN THE MECHANIC NOTICED SMALL HOLES THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE FRAME. THE MECHANIC PATCHED UP ALL THE HOLES, BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT PASS INSPECTION AFTER THE REPAIRS. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO A FRAME SPECIALIST, WHO REPLATED THE FRAME WITH STEEL. THE VEHICLE AGAIN WOULD NOT PASS INSPECTION BECAUSE THE CROSS MEMBER WAS CORRODED. THE MANUFACTURE WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT AGAIN REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 117,000.

I SEE THAT YOU ARE INVESTIGATING THE FRAMES ON THE INFINITI QX AND NISSAN PATHFINDERS. THE NISSAN HARDBODY TRUCKS ALSO SUFFER THE SAME FRAME PROBLEMS AS THE AFOREMENTIONED VEHICLES. HERE IS A LINK THAT WILL SHOW YOU THAT FRAME FAILURE IS ALSO COMMON IN THE HARDBODY TRUCKS. HTTP://WWW.CARSURVEY.ORG/REVIEWS/NISSAN/PATHFINDER/R78984/COMMENTS/PAGE-13/ THERE ARE MANY HARDBODY OWNERS ON THERE ASKING FOR A REMEDY AS WELL. MY FRAME ON MY 95 IS RUSTED AND CRACKING AS WELL RIGHT BEHIND THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT SUSPENSION. ITS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THE FRAME GIVES WAY AND CAUSES A CRASH ON MY TRUCK AND SEVERAL OTHERS. NISSAN MOTOR CORP NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND GET THESE TRUCKS OFF THE ROADS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1995 NISSAN PICKUP. THE ENTIRE SUB-FRAME OF THE VEHICLE HAD CORROSION. THE MANUFACTURER REFERRED HER TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER INFORMED THE MANUFACTURER THAT SINCE THE SUB-FRAME FAILED, THE VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER IN A DRIVABLE CONDITION. THE MANUFACTURER CONCLUDED THAT BECAUSE THE WARRANTY EXPIRED SHE WAS INELIGIBLE FOR A FREE REMEDY. TWO YEARS AGO THE FUEL TANK STARTED TO SPILL GAS ONTO THE GROUND. THE DEALER REPLACED THE FUEL TANK AS A FREE REMEDY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000 . THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 105,000. UPDATED 05/12/10
