Consumer Description

CARRIER BEARING AT THE CENTER SUPPORT FAILED. TRUCK STARTED VIBRATING AFTER THE FAILURE. DEALER REPLACED THE BEARING BUT THE VIBRATION GOT WORSE. DEALER REPLACE THE WHOLE DRIVE SHAFT. I HAVE NOTICED THE SAME TROUBLES REPORTED MANY TIMES FROM DIFFERENT FRONTIER OWNER. NOW ASKING NISSAN CUSTOMER AFFAIR TO CLARIFY THE CAUSE OF FAILURE. 2001 MODEL DOES NOT HAVE A CARRIER BEARING. I DISCUSSED POSSIBLITY OF DEFECTIVE DESIGN ON 1998-2000 MODEL BECAUSE OF THIS NISSAN'S CORRECTION EFFORT. CARRIER BEARING FAILURE WILL END UP WITH THE DRIVE SHAFT TO FAIL, WHICH MAY CAUSE A FATAL ACCIDENT. I BELIEVE THIS NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED UNDER RECALL.
