1995 Nissan Pickup Problems, complaints & recalls

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.

Took truck in to have it aligned. Tire shop refused to perform alignment due to compromised integrity of the frame rails from rust/corrosion. Was told that it is unsafe to drive and the service tech recommended I take it to a frame shop immediately to have frame fixed. 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.

I bought a one owner low mileage 63,000 miles 1995 nissan king cab 4x4 truck. I took it in for a oil change and was refused service due to the frame deemed unsafe to support the vehicle while resting on the vehicle lift. I have documented work orders from ziebart stating when new from the dealer undercoating was applied and yearly inspected for the duration of the implied warranty (10 yrs). Still the frame is 40% gone. Does nissan understand my blue book valued truck of $5,300.00 Is not only worthless it could kill me or others when the frame does collapse under normal highway usage. Please nissan do something! *Tr

This vehicle has been a one owner truck. I have carefully maintained and have not been able to stop a serious frame rust problem. I have contacted my local dealer and corporate usa nissan. Nissan has refused to address my repeated requests for assistance with this matter. I can not be certain at what point the truck becomes unsafe to operate. Nissan needs to address this issue asap to prevent any safety problems with this vehicle as other manufactures have in the past. *Kb

Tl* the contact owns a 1995 nissan pickup. The contact stated that the vehicle was being examined by an independent mechanic, when the mechanic noticed small holes throughout the entire frame. The mechanic patched up all the holes, but the vehicle would not pass inspection after the repairs. The vehicle was then taken to a frame specialist, who replated the frame with steel. The vehicle again would not pass inspection because the cross member was corroded. The manufacture was made aware of the failure and stated that the warranty expired. The vehicle was not again repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 117,000.

I see that you are investigating the frames on the infiniti qx and nissan pathfinders. The nissan hardbody trucks also suffer the same frame problems as the aforementioned vehicles. Here is a link that will show you that frame failure is also common in the hardbody trucks. Http://www.Carsurvey.Org/reviews/nissan/pathfinder/r78984/comments/page-13/ there are many hardbody owners on there asking for a remedy as well. My frame on my 95 is rusted and cracking as well right behind the passenger side front...

Frame of the truck is rusted out very badly. This is a known issue, vehicle unsafe to drive. No notifications of the common defect. Other owners and drivers of the vehicles of same make and model needs to made aware of the problem. Also, these trucks should be recalled. *Tr

Severe frame rust which weakens the structure. Required welding several pieces of steel plate to the frame to strengthen the rusted areas. The problem continues at other areas of the frame as chunks of rusted metal continue to separate from the inside of the frame rails. *Tr

Tl*the contact owns a 1995 nissan pickup. The entire sub-frame of the vehicle had corrosion. The manufacturer referred her to the dealer. The dealer informed the manufacturer that since the sub-frame failed, the vehicle was no longer in a drivable condition. The manufacturer concluded that because the warranty expired she was ineligible for a free remedy. Two years ago the fuel tank started to spill gas onto the ground. The dealer replaced the fuel tank as a free remedy. The failure mileage was 70,000 . The current mileage was 105,000. Updated 05/12/10

Frame rails on 1995 nissan pickup rusting out from interior. Researching web for solutions indicate a large number of people with similar problems. While it is an old truck with high miles, it appears to me that a defect in design, finishing, or materials makes this a safety issue for those pickups (and pathfinders) on the road today. *Tr

Although this has not lead to an accident yet, the frame on my 1995 nissan pickup truck is rusting so bad it appears to be rotting.

Rusted frame on 1995 nissan pickup kingcab, 4x4 a safety hazard. No way it should be that bad. Mechanic says not worth putting money into it given the frame. Bought the car from my brother when it had 30k or so miles. On-road miles only. A real safety issue. *Tr

I currently own a 1995 nissan pick up truck that has severe frame rust beyond what would be considered normal. It is to the point that it is a safety concern. I had contacted nissan and was told that there was nothing that they would be willing to do. After researching the problem it appears to be a design issue on nissans part and they are not willing to own up to it. I can send you photo documentation of the frame to prove that it is not regular wear and tear on the vehicle. I took the vehicle to a mechanic last week and the truck was deemed unsafe and dangerous because of the amount of frame rust. *Tr

My frame is rotted on my truck and looking into it, I'm not the only person with this problem and nothing has been done about it. This is the site http://www.Carsurvey.Org/viewcomments_review_78984.Html I have a 95 nissan truck in ct. This seems to be a major issue and needs to be looked into. I do plan on calling the attorney general of ct and trying to get this issue resolved not just for me, but the fame of a truck is the most important thing any thing!!!!! *Tr

The frame of my truck is rotting through. It started with the area over the back wheels, the garage refused to give me a state inspection until I had it repaired. I had metal patches welded over the defective areas on both sides of my vehicle. Now a year later the frame has split in both sides of the truck behind the front wheels. I contacted nissan corporate office as well as the local nissan dealership to no avail. They said this was due to environmental conditions. *Tr

I bought a 95, 4x4 nissan pickup in 2006. I took it to the local nissan dealer, armory nissan in albany, new york for a diagnostic workup.
