    I have repeatedly gotten indicators (via vehicle's computer) of air bag failure, on a vehicle of low mileage, which has never been in an accident, and has gotten failures regarding the front passenger seat, which is rarely used. The first time, the dealer replaced the seatback and airbag under warranty. The second time the dealer replaced the seatbelt assembly. How, the 3rd time, they tell me that the same seat -…

    I've never feared for my own life and the others i have to road share with until owning this 2017 nissan frontier. I've had it into the dealership a total of 7 times because the drivers seat slides back and forth while going down the road. The nissan dealership has replaced and tightened up the track the seat sits on and within a few hundred miles it becomes loose. I've contacted nissan and they refuse to talk to…

    I sent a complaint once. Have not heard back from you yet. This truck was purchased on march 6th, 2015 and delivered on march 8th, 2015 with mfg defects and nissan refuses to stand by their warranty and replace, refund, or fix the problems. One is unable to be fixed and should be considered a lemon in oregon. The truck bed is out of alignment by 9mm. The driver's side has a larger gap between the cab and bed than…

    Tl* the contact owns a 2006 nissan frontier. The contact stated that the driver seat was only anchored by two bolts instead of four, due to the metal track base and floor pan being fractured. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 173,000.
