| Description of the problem | 2006 nissan xterra bottoms out in rear every bump in road. With passengers in rear, bump is so hard it causes all passengers to hit head, sounds like you have hit a tree. Can locate same complaint all over internet. Nissan reports "nothing wrong" design flaw only. Crashing my rear axle, still under full warranty and refuse to do anything. Simple bump stops have proven to help many at cost of over $300 installed. Nissan should repair, design flaw should not be at customers expense. Not safe for kids in rear seats. |
