2000 Nissan Frontier Crew Cab 4x4 review from North America
"A poorly made vehicle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Fuel pump sending unit resulting in a vehicle breakdown and tow.
Passenger side rear leaf spring - twice.
Transmission servo resulting in a check engine light.
Exhaust manifold.
Muffler.
General comments?
We bought the Nissan because it had the large 4 door cab, a comfortable ride and good handling.
This truck is underpowered and gets poor mileage.
Since the leaf spring is the only thing attaching the axle, having two broken leaf springs makes this a dangerous vehicle to drive.
We find this truck very unreliable.
