Tl*the contact owns a 1996 nissan pickup. When the contact started the vehicle and began to accelerate, the driver's side air bag deployed. There were no injuries. The manufacturer stated that an engineer would come out and inspect the vehicle. Two weeks after the inspection, the manufacturer called the contact and stated that no compensation would be provided due to the high mileage on the vehicle. The contact called the nissan dealer and received an estimate of $2,000 for the repair. The vehicle has not been repaired. The failure and current mileages were 205,000.

My nissan truck is very badly eaten by rust. The frame and body are being eaten away with rust. The brake lines and the power steering lines have disintegrated. The wheel axles and joints are badly corroded. Inferior quality metals and paint were used to manufacture this truck. This truck is now too dangerous to drive on the road. The engine and transmission are good but the rest is a disgrace. *tr

Leaking fuel tank. Fuel tank started leaking for no apparent reason. *tr

I bought the truck in 1999 from the original owner, it had 29,800 miles on it. The truck had 59,500 miles on it when this happened. I was driving the truck when the engine stopped and smoke came out from under the hood. I opened the hood to find that the main engine wiring harness along side of the engine valve cover had melted about eight wires together. The truck sat for several months before i had time to work on it. I separated the wires and put them back together and the truck would run, but not the way it should. I ended up taking it to the nissan dealer where it stayed for a few months and they tried several things to fix the truck but didn't. The dealer ended up saying that it needed a complete wiring harness, which is from bumper to bumper all one piece and the wiring harness would cost app. $1400.00 plus labor. I brought the truck back home where it sets today with 59,600 miles on it. *tr

We purchased a truck at curry's used cars. The truck had been wrecked, it was repaired at curry's paint and body shop. Then the owner sam curry had it for sale. We purchased it. Later we found out that he did not replace the airbag that had deployed. It has a dummy airbag in the vehicle. I know that this is a federal offense. Since i found this out know that other vehicles were repaired at this body shop and airbags replaced with dummy bags. *jb

While driving at 35 mph, the vehicle was involved in a frontal collision, and the air bags failed to deploy. *ak *ts *jb

Tried to get emissions test, due to sensor light coming on (check engine light), vehicle failed test. Have reported this light several times. This light stays on, not been able to fix this problem. Have changed sensor three times. Did not have concerns before the emissions problems. Dlr seems to not know what to do about this problem, or how to to fix it. Maybe there should be some way of correcting this problem. I was told that the only solution was to keep replacing the sensor. Which is getting to be a problem. Dlr would do something to turn off the light, i drive down the road...The light comes back on...And stays on. This has been happening ever since vehicle purchase.

The driver's shoulder harness is fraying where it wears against the clip that inserts in the receiver to secure the belt. I don't believe this should happen in less than 6 years/70,000 miles. It may be happening in other vehicles, and if so, is potentially quite dangerous as the restraining harness could fail in an accident. I will contact the manufacturer next.

While parking vehicle at 2 mph driver's airbag deployed.*ak
