2002 Nissan Frontier rear shakes

Written by: jgs15 on May 17, 2009 09:35 PM

I have a '02 Frontier Desertrunner kingcab. The bed shakes bad on uneven roads. I had the propeller, u-joints, and carrier bearing checked already and was told everything was ok. A mechanic said that this was common with frontiers. Is that true? And has someone encountered and been able to solve the problem or at least minimize the shaking/vibration? I'd appreciate ...

Some pretty good points there. I have no idea what kind of warranty a Dodge dealer would give you on a used Nissan, but if you have a $1000 air conditioner repair, and the dealer honors the closed dealers warranty you have an unusual situation there. If they charge $2000 and it is a 50/50 warranty you have the normal screwjob situation. You may be lucky the dealership ... Read More...

Thank you for the advice. You bought a five-year-old car from a dealership that is out of business.... Most used cars aren't guaranteed to have the original engine, anyway.. I kinda thought that way too. But it just sucks when you know you've been had.... Now that the truck is seven years old, it likely wouldn't even have any effect on the value of the truck, either.. ... Read More...

Written by: jgs15 on May 14, 2009 07:47 PM

I bought a 2002 Nissan Frontier Desertrunner with 41k miles from a Dodge dealership here in Las Vegas, NV in 2007. The truck still runs well and I am quite happy with it. And despite the small aftermarket support I would like to keep for a long time. During my recent trips to a local pepboys for the regular oil change, tune-ups, etcs, they would find and show me markings ... Read More...

I have a 2001 Nissan Frontier with the same problem and Nissan refuses to pay for the new tank. It only has 87,000 miles and the check engine light has been coming on since 46,000 miles. They have always told me at the dealership to tighten my gas cap, well apparently that wasn't the true issue. Did anybody get anywhere with Nissan on this problem? Read More...

I don't know anything to look for. I haven't owned a 2.4L nissan based truck since a 94 Hardbody I sold 2 years later (1996) and even then that engine was considered to be rock solid, but underpowered. Read More...

"Deal" is a relative term. Have you checked out prices on cars.com for prices on similar vehicles in your area or within 250 miles? When I looked at 02's w/ 2.4L the prices are all over the map, but in a general sense 8400 seems very high IMHO, but that may not be so in your area. For instance in my area a dealer named Cars Plus located in listing a 2002 2.4L 2002 Nissan Frontier ... Read More...
