I have a 1994 nissan pu d21 . I just noticed that the frame has a rusty hole on the frame at the front on the passenger side . For my safety and others I can't drive this truck . I hope nissan will pay attention this issue before someone get killed .
The entire frame of the 1995 nissan hardbody pickup is rusting apart, this is the second truck of this type ive owned and have had this problem. It is no longer deemed safe by mechanics to meet n.C.D.M.V. Inspection standards . The problem is from the same as the nissan frontier trucks recalled, coil rolled frame and no drainage for water, mud, salt etc on the bottom of the frame. The vehicle is a total loss x2 since this is the second nissan I have owned. Thanks.

I'm the original owner and had the underside rustproofed by ziebart annually from 1995-2010. I'd like an explanation as to how this could have occurred and some remedy offered.

had come from the bead of the tire, on the shaded side of the wheel. There was no other damage to be seen on the tire. On examining the tire before removal, I found that the rubber was so deteriorated that I could tear it, chord included, with my bare hands (i'm nearly 70 and disabled). I felt that these tires are a considerable safety hazard. Have tried several times to contact the local walmart management without success. Has anything been done to remove these tires from use?
