Most Recent Complaints
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1985 NISSAN 720. THE CONTACT PURCHASED FRONT BRAKE CALIPERS THAT WERE MANUFACTURED BY CARDONE AND DANA. HE NOTICED THAT THE BLEED SCREW ON EACH CALIPER WAS MISPLACED AND LABELED INCORRECTLY. THE LEFT ONE SHOULD FIT ON THE RIGHT SIDE AND VICE VERSA. HE CALLED BOTH MANUFACTURERS FOR THE PARTS AND WAS INFORMED TO FLIP FLOP THE CALIPERS; HOWEVER, THAT ONLY WORKED FOR THE DANA PART, NOT THE CARDONE. THE CARDONE COMPANY HANDLES THE INQUIRIES FOR BOTH PARTS. THE ONLY PART NUMBERS AVAILABLE WERE FROM NAPA, A RESELLER OF THESE PARTS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 159,000.
THE TRANSMISSION STARTED EMITTING A CLICKING NOISE IN GEARS 1-4, AND 5TH GEAR HAS AN EXTREMELY LOUD NOISE, WHICH I PRESUME IS A GEAR WITH TEETH STRIPPED OUT ON IT. SEVERAL OTHER NISSAN PICKUPS, IN THE SAME YEAR RANGE OF THE TRANSMISSION I USE, SUFFERED FROM THE SAME PROBLEM, SO I BELIEVE THE 5TH GEAR HAS SOME TYPE OF DEFECT IN IT WHICH CAUSES IT TO FAIL AFTER A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME.
VEHICLE WANDERS DUE TO STEERING DESIGN PROBLEM.
