MY CHIEF COMPLAINT IS ON MY 93 NISSAN HARDBODY PICKUP.FRAME IS SEVERELY RUSTED IM A WELDER FABRICATOR MECHANIC AND HAD TO BOX FROB CAB BACK TO BUMPER IN STEAL AND PUT MY OWN CROSSMEMBER IN IT FELL OUT. THIS IS MERELY A BANDAID. TRUCK HAS 251,990 MILES AND ALL ORIGINAL IM 3RD OWNER TRUCK IS IN GREAT CONDITION OTHER THAN FRAME.THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THESE TRUCKS SEEMS MOSTLY FROM 90 -97 MY LAST 2 WHERE 87 AND 88 NOT TO BAD AND ONE WAS FROM NEW YORK WITH THE SALT. I'VE OWNED THE TRUCK SINCE 04-08 AND CHECKED FRAME AND WAS NOT BAD AT ALL THEN STARTED TO GO DOWN HILL FAST . ITS UNSAFE TO SELL I HAVE BEEN TAKING CARE OF IT NO ONE WOULD BUY IT AND I CANT JUST GO BUY ANOTHER TRUCK IM CONTRACTING NOW AND IT IS A MAJOR TOOL. I ALSO HAVE PICS OF FRAME WITH BED OFF. *TR

STRUCTURE

I OWN A 1993 NISSAN PICKUP AND THE FRAME BEHIND THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL HAS RUSTED TO PIECES I HAVE HAD IT WELDED BUT NO FRAME AFTER 16 YRS. SHOULD BE THAT BAD. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

CONSUMER ALTERNATOR BOLTS WERE OUT AN 1 1/2 INCH. THE GROUND WIRE FROM THE ALTERNATOR HAD NOT BEEN HOOKED TO THE FRAME OF THE VEHICLE. *TS THE CONSUMER STATED THE ESTABLISHMENT HE TOOK HIS VEHICLE TO, PERFORMED UNSATISFACTORY WORK. AFTER LEAVING THE ESTABLISHMENT, THE CONSUMER BEGAN EXPERIENCING MORE PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE. *JB

POWER TRAIN

WHEN SLOWING DOWN AND TRYING TO DOWN SHIFT AFTER EXITING AN INTERSTATE, I FIND THAT THE CLUTCH PEDAL IS COMPLETELY DEPRESSED (BOTTOMED OUT) UNEXPECTEDLY, RESULTING IN INABILITY TO DOWN SHIFT OR MOVE GEAR SHIFT TO NEUTRAL. THIS HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY AND WITHOUT WARNING. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIME OVER A PERIOD OF ONE YEAR. *NM

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

I DROVE SOMEWHERE, PARKED THE TRUCK AND I SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING AND SAW SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. I ASKED SOMEONE IF THEY HAD A FIRE EXTINGUISHER AND THEY DID. I OPENED THE HOOD AND THE GUY USED THE FIRE EXTINGUISHER TO PUT THE FIRE OUT. IT STARTED IN THE WIRING HARNESS UNDER THE HOOD. MORE SPECIFICALLY, THERE IS A RESISTOR AND A CAPACITOR COMING OUT OF THE WIRING HARNESS (NEAR THE DRIVER-SIDE HEADLIGHT / DISTRIBUTOR COIL AREA) THAT WAS ON FIRE. I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY NISSAN TRUCKS HAVE THIS DEFECT, BUT THAT'S FOR NISSAN AND THE GOVERNMENT TO KEEP TRACK OF. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO KNOW, HOW MANY ELECTRICAL / WIRING HARNESS FIRES HAVE TO OCCUR BEFORE A RECALL IS IN ORDER? *JB

STEERING,FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

I HAD A 1993 NISSAN EX CAB P/U STANDARD WITH A/C AND POWER STEERING AND I HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE INJECTORS STAYING ON WITH THE KEY OFF AND WOULD FILL THE ENGINE FULL OF GAS. NEEDLESS TO SAY IT BURNT UP ONE DAY AND THE PLACE WHERE IT BURNT SAID FOR ME TO GET IT OUT OF THERE BEFORE THEY TOWED IT SO IT ENDED UP IN THE SCRAP YARD. *AK

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

THE FUEL SENDER CORRODED AND CAUSED FUEL TO LEAK FROM THE VEHICLE (NISSAN KING CAB). *AK *SCC *NLM
