| Description of the problem | I am making you aware of a potentially unsafe situation. Nissan sells frontier trucks (called the "base" model) without rear bumpers. I received a ticket while driving my new vehicle, having been told that this was illegal. Nissan denies this. In any case, it would seem to compromise safety in persons purchasing nissan frontier trucks.*ak |
