2016 Nissan Frontier

OUR 2016 NISSAN FRONTER HAS A SLOW AIR LEAK ON THE TIRES AFTER HAVEING THEM CHECKED BY A TIRE DEALER IT WAS FOUND THE TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR (TPS) WAS LEAKING AT THE CORE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO REMOVE THE CORE OR THE NUT THAT HOLDS THE TPS ON THE WHEEL. GALVONIC REACTION HAD WELDED ALL IN PLACE . DEALER CUT THE VALVE OFF AND REPLACED WITH A NEW TPS (NON METAL) AS IS THERE PRATICE AS THEY HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH METAL ONES IN THE PAST . I THINK THIS COULD BE A PROBLEM WITH OTHER TPSs AND COULD HAVE LOSS OF AIR PRESSURE OR AT LEAST THE OWNER WOULD BE UNABLE TO ADD AIR TO TIRE THE TPS IS A STOCK NISSAN SCHRADER ELECTRONICS RTPMS 40700 1AA0B BLUE IN COLOR

I PURCHASED MY 2016 NISSAN FRONTIER NEW IN CAPE GIRARDEAU, MO. I DIDN'T REALIZE IT DIDN'T HAVE POWER DOOR LOCKS UNTIL AFTER TAKING DELIVERY. I MADE THE MISTAKE OF ASSUMING IT DID BECAUSE OF ALL THE OTHER EXTRAS IT HAD STANDARD AND HAD NEVER HEARD OF NEW VEHICLES NOT HAVING THIS STANDARD SAFETY FEATURE.. AFTER DRIVING IT ONCE AND TRYING TO UNLOCK THE BACK DOOR I REALIZED THERE WAS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE. THE ONLY WAY TO UNLOCK THE BACK DOOR IS TO REACH BETWEEN THE SUPPORT COLUMN AND THE SEAT AND THE CLEARANCE ONLY ALLOWS A SMALL HAND TO FIT THROUGH. I SPOKE WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND I WROTE TO CORPORATE SEVERAL TIMES ONLY TO BE TOLD THEY WOULD DO NOTHING. I ASKED FOR THEM TO SPLIT THE COST WITH ME TO HAVE POST MARKET AUXILIARY ELECTRONICS LOCKS INSTALLED AND THEY REFUSED. IT HAS BEEN AN ONGOING SAFETY HAZARD SINCE I GOT IT BY NOT HAVING AMPLE ACCESS TO OPEN THE BACK DOORS. I WILL HAVE GRANDCHILDREN ONE OF THESE DAYS AND I WILL BE FORCED TO TRADE THIS TRUCK IN BECASUE THERE IS NO WAY I WOULD STRAP AN INFANT INTO THE BACK SEAT WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO QUICKLY OPEN THE DOOR IF THEY BECAME CHOKED OR FOR SOME OTHER REASON THEY NEEDED QUICK ATTENTION. IF SOMEONE NOT FAMILIAR WITH THIS TRUCK WERE TO HAVE TO OPEN THE BACK DOOR, THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO AND THIS COULD LEAD TO DEATH OF SOMEONE IN THE BACK SEAT SINCE THERE IS NO KEY ENTRY ON THE BACK DOOR AND IT IS NOT SAFELY ACCESSIBLE FOR OPENING. I WAS TOLD BY THEIR CORPORATE THAT THERE WASN'T ANYTHING THEY WOULD DO EVEN AFTER TELLING THEM ALL OF THE ABOVE. I THINK THIS NEEDS ADDRESSED WITH THE MANUFACTURER.

VERY SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD WHEN USING "NISSAN CONNECT" HANDS-FREE SYSTEM WITH ALL CELL PHONES. "NISSAN CONNECT" DOES NOT DIFFERENTIATE THE DIFFERENCE WHEN CALLING A PERSON WITH MULTIPLE PHONE NUMBERS. INSTEAD OF ASKING "WOULD YOU LIKE TO CALL ____ ON CELL OR AT HOME"?, IT ASKS YOU WHICH PHONE NUMBER IS CORRECT? THIS NOW FORCES YOU TO GRAB YOUR PHONE, SEARCH FOR THE CONTACT, AND VERIFY WHICH PHONE NUMBER IS CORRECT. THE ENTIRE TIME, YOU ARE NOW DISTRACTED FROM DRIVING AND DEFEATS THE PURPOSE OF BEING HANDS FREE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD WITH ALL NISSAN VEHICLES THAT HAVE NISSAN CONNECT.

I HAVE DOCUMENTED EVERYTHING. PICTURES, RECEIPTS, WHO I TALKED TO, DATES. EVERYTHING IN A LONG OUTLINE THAT I WILL ATTACH. PLEASE READ IT. THE ISSUE IS THAT I PURCHASED THIS TRUCK 12-28-2016 AND HAVE YET TO GET THE ADVERTISED FUEL CAPACITY OF 21.1 GALLONS. MY TRUCK GETS ABOUT CONSISTENTLY 15 GALLONS TO FILL UP AND NO RESERVE TANK. NISSAN IS NOT DISPUTING THAT THERE IS A DEFECT AND MY VEHICLE IS NOT THE ONLY ONE. THERE IS ANOTHER TRUCK AT MY DEALERSHIP RIGHT NOW WITH THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. AND THE DEALERSHIP HAS ADMITTED THAT THERE ARE OTHERS. PLUS I'VE FOUND MORE ONLINE IN FORUMS. THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX IT YET.
