| Description of the problem | In 2001 nissan frontier pick-ups without steering wheel adjustments, the directional signals can not be seen by the driver since the steering wheel is too thick and the placement of the directional lights are quite poor. One has to push the seat back and tilt the seat to see the directional lights through the steering wheel. As a result the front of the truck can't be seen and can easily lead to a collision due to midjudging the vehicle in front of the truck. *la |
