Hey everyone,

My name is Brian, and I am new to the forum.  I purchased a 07 LE Frontrier Crew Cab Long Bed about a month and a half ago.

I have the same bounce problem tahosa has.  I  purchased a roll cover for it and that helped a bit, but there are certain spots that I hit and the bounce is bad!!  I took it to the dealer and the service dept took it for a test ride.  THey took it for a ride and didnt feel it.  I have to make an appointment to ride with a mech to hit the right spots to show him.

A little weight in the back (a la the rool top) hepled a little, but like I explained to the service dept, I didnt by a new truck to fix it! 

tahosa, have you gotten any more feedback from them?  I am interested to know what course of action you have taken!

Thanks,

Brian

Dealer said that they would research it on the computer database.  They have not reponded at all.  This is GO NISSAN in Denver Colorado for advertising purposes. 

I sent an email to NISSAN USA and they suggested that I take it to another dealer.  I would think that if Nissan or the dealer really cared about the quality of their product they would read these Forums.  I am currently traveling and noit driving the vehicle.  I will be back on this in a few weeks.

Does yours only bounce on certain roads?

Yup, every morning and afternoon during my commute to work.  I can predict exactly when it happens.  It is the same thing, concrete freeway.  The surface streets are fine.   I have been thinking that it has to do somehting with the alignment since it seems when I steer the car to the left, it happens the most.

I turned in a bad review on the sales person and now they are pissed at me.  No one from nissan or service ever returned my calls or messages.  They do not back the warranty.

Well first off... it's not the salesman's fault that it gets rough on the concrete highway.  He wasn't the assembly man, or the engineer that designed it.

Secondly... working towards a "Lemon" car would have been a better idea.  Research what it takes for a vehicle to be determined a lemon in the state of Colorado.  Usually most states go by the fact a vehicle has to be returned 6 times or so in a 30 day period, while brand new has a anywhere to a year.   But again, check your state law.

You're going to have a majorly hard time with it now.  Dealers do occasionaly talk to each other.  And you going out a writting a bad review for no reason does get noticed and talked about.  The dealership probably now feels it's easier to ignore and be done with you.

Take it to another dealership, and keep taking it back till the problem is fixed, or Nissan finally acknowledges there's a problem.
