I was driving and my truck started drifting and I felt like I was losing control. Could of caused a very serious and dangerous accident - scared me to death, had just bought this Nissan, and love the brand. Had great tires and brakes just completely done. Brought it to my mechanic and he put it up on the hoist. Frame almost completely rusted out and through in many spots. They were surprised it did not completely come apart! Extremely dangerous and they suspect like Toyota that maybe part of a NHTSA recall. I just checked and did not find one, but there should be, how many other un-safe Frontiers are out there be driven every day by the public. I can send pictures if needed, just need to ask mechanic to put back up on hoist, as he would not let me drive the car and it is still there. Horrific danger!

I heard a sudden thud and then a grinding noise coming from the rear end as if a brake had hung up, metal to metal.when I exited the vehicle there was smoke coming from the rear of the vehicle and a very strong smell of overheating of the brakes or metal and fluid.upon pulling the wheels, our company mechanic found nothing of the sort to be wrong. I called a friend to have the vehicle trailer-ed to monro muffler and brake in mansfield pa, where it was determined the bearings had failed in the rears, both inner and outer. Nissan usa determined that my VIN # did not fall into the recall campaign even though it fell within the same make, model and year within recall campaign #02V299000! Nissan advised me to take the truck to williams Nissan in sayre pa and have it diagnosed there. I had previously called them before contacting Nissan usa where they had already advised me of the VIN # not being within the recall campaign. There is no doubt that an accident could have occurred if not a fire or both! this came with absolutely no warning in the very early morning on my way to work. I would advise anyone who owns these make, model and years to have this checked and repaired. I cannot believe Nissan would not take responsibility in such an exact case as this particular recall states. In essence this does start with the ABS braking system and seals as monro told me the seals had failed!

The contact owns a 2003 Nissan Frontier. The contact stated that in October 2010, the right front wheel separated from the vehicle while the contact was driving 5 mph.

Three weeks later, the left front wheel separated while driving 45 mph because of the lower control arm. The vehicle was towed to a repair shop for repairs. The contact called the manufacturer who advised him to take the vehicle to a dealer for a diagnostic test. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.
