Problems with 2004 Nissan Frontier STRUCTURE

I noticed small oil stains under the nissan while parked in my driveway, at work, and anywhere i would stop. upon further investigation, i noticed the oil pan is rusting through. i have done research and noticed i am not the only person experiencing this problem. this could be a major problem if the motor would lock up at a high rate of speed due to lack of lubrication. got a quote of $1500 to replace the oil pan. seems kind of steep considering i am not the one who put the, in my opinion, sub par oil pan on these vehicles. updated 4/8/2015 *js

After driving my vehicle to work (around 15 miles), the lights began to dim and the radio turned on and off several times. i parked in the garage where i work, and went to my office to get in touch with a mechanic. about 1/2 hour later, a police officer called because my truck caught fire. it caused damage to the parking structure, and obviously to the vehicle, including melting many of the components under the hood, as well as smoke damage to the inside of the truck. it was totaled. *tr

Corrosion in heat affected zones on the vehicle frame are a cause for concern on this vehicle. reporting in the interest of safety. *tr

The base model 2004 nissan frontier is sold without the rear bumper causing an unsafe condition. in the event of a rear end collision, the lack of a bumper would transfer 100% of the energy from the impact to the body of the car, injuring the truck's occupants. additionally, a rear bumper would stop a vehicle from being pushed under the frontier in the event of a rear end collision. *nm

I am making you aware of a potentially unsafe situation. nissan sells frontier trucks (called the "base" model) without rear bumpers. i received a ticket while driving my new vehicle, having been told that this was illegal. nissan denies this. in any case, it would seem to compromise safety in persons purchasing nissan frontier trucks.*ak
