1999 Nissan Frontier Structure

CONSUMER STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 45 MPH AND WITHOUT WARNING THE TAILGATE FELL ONTO THE GROUND CAUSING THE CONSUMER TO PULL OVER. DEALER NOTIFIED. MR

THE FRAME WAS MIS-ENGINEERED IN MASS, ORIENTATION AND DESIGN TO ACCOMODATE THE CHASSIS THAT WOULD BE RIDING ON TOP OF IT, SO MUCH SO THAT THE DRIVER FEELS A CONSTANT SHUDDERING, A NEARLY CONSTANT STEERING WHEEL CHATTER, AND POOR DAMPENING ON EVEN SMOOTH OR SLIGHTLY BUMPY ROADS. THE VEHICLE ALSO EXPERIENCES A FEELING OF ROAD WEARINESS AND SLOPPYNESS IN TURNS. I HAVE CONSULTED WITH OTHER OWNERS AND THEY (AND A NISSAN ENGINEER) SAY IT'S CONFIRMED THAT THE VIBRATION IS EMENATING FROM THE BACK WHERE THE ESPECIALLY POOR DESIGN EXISTS AND IS CHANNELED/AMPLIFIED ALONG THE WAY UP TO THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE.

WEATHER STRIPPING ON DRIVER'S AND PASSENER'S SIDE WINDOWS AND FRONT MIRROR KEEPS COMING DOWN. APPROOX. NINE INCHES, 3/4 WIDTH. FLIES AROUND, AND MAKES NOISE. DEALER CONTACTED, AND CANNOT REMEDY PROBLEM. PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION. *AK
