| Description of the problem | I have a 2004 nissan titan crew cab 4x4 truck and i have had problems with the tailgate of the truck bed. It is very heavy and my wife has dropped it on herself several times. I have even dropped it myself. I believe nissan knows about this problem because they fixed it on the 2005 model. I believe there is a serious safety problem in the 2004 model and i believe that this needs to be fixed! *jb |
