2004 Nissan Frontier LE review from North America
"Disappointing"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Original tires were bad.
Rear differential leaked in first week.
Both power windows malfunctioned.
Had to replace all belts at 75,000 miles.
General comments?
I bought the Frontier instead of a Toyota Tacoma to save money. I thought it would be comparable. It has been a disappointment. Not finished well. Gas mileage is awful and way worse than Chevy S-10. Nice looking though. Dealer could never get vibration out of car at about 70 MPH. Stopped when I bought Michelin tires. Both power windows work poorly, and although replaced under warranty, the new ones work poorly too. Not any power. But does feel reliable. Not the quality I was expecting. Bed liner rattles and is annoying. Manual transmission is smooth.
