Description of the problem	Tailgate busted brackets. I have a 2005 frontier crew cab with 28000 miles. This was bought brand new. I use this vehicle for trips and hunting. No hauling, construction or other heavy use. My 4 wheeler was hauled in it about 6 times. We drove to the mountains and just finished unloading our luggage. I went to close the gate and it wouldn't close, upon investigating the drivers side hinge had cracks and the passenger side was cracked. My truck was out of warranty by 60 days when i showed the dealer service person. They said they never saw anything like it before, even asked how big the deer was i put on the gate, and if someone was standing on it? I asked if they were serious, as this gate should support 1000 pounds! Anyway i wa lucky that nissan agreed to replace the 2 cracked brackets on the body, the 2 brackets on the gate and a 3rd bracket i wasn't even aware of until the dealer stated he had to order it in before it could be repaired correctly. Anyway like i stated, this vehicle is used for easy applications and the gate used very little. Sounds and looked like a bad design imho.
