1999 nissan frontier pickup following defects are as follows,front airbags continuously flashes,fuel gauge does not indicate amount of fuel after filling.,suspension problem.
Truck started dying randomly. Finally it died and would not restart. The truck was diagnosed with having no fuel pressure. I found out that there was a recall on the truck (ntb04-062c) that could cause the fuel pump to stop working. I verified with nissan over the phone that the truck was definitely involved in the recall. I had the truck towed to a local nissan dealership (southlake nissan in merrillville, in). After keeping the truck there for a week and telling me that they had to order parts, they told me that they could not perform the recall because the vehicle was not running. I had the truck towed home today. This recall is specifically for an issue that is known to cause a no start condition. How can i get the recall performed if they will not work on it if it won't start? i now have paid over $300 in towing charges and have not had any work done.

The frame was mis-engineered in mass, orientation and design to accomodate the chassis that would be riding on top of it, so much so that the driver feels a constant shuddering, a nearly constant steering wheel chatter, and poor dampening on even smooth or slightly bumpy roads.the vehicle also experiences a feeling of road weariness and sloppyness in turns.i have consulted with other owners and they (and a nissan engineer) say it's confirmed that the vibration is emenating from the back where the especially poor design exists and is channeled/amplified along the way up to the front of the vehicle.
