THE TRUCK HAS AN INSUFFICIENT HEATER FOR THE NORTH EAST'S COLD WEATHER. THE ENGINE WARMS UP QUICKLY, WITHIN 2 MILES. THE HEAT OUTPUT AT CHEST LEVEL TAKES AS MUCH AS 10-15 MINUTES IF NIGHT TIME TEMPS WERE LESS THAN 20 DEGREES F. AT THAT POINT. IT TAKES LONGER AT THE FLOOR LEVEL NO MATTER WHAT POSITION THE CONTROLS ARE IN. I FOUND THAT THE FLOOR LEVEL INDICATOR HEAT ALSO EXITS AT THE DEFROSTER AND THE OUTSIDE CHEST LEVEL VENTS. THIS LEAVES PAINFUL COLD AT THE FLOOR LEVEL FOR MORE THAN 20 MINUTES. ALL THIS IS MAXIMUM EFFORT FOR THE HEATER. THIS …

CHILD SEAT LATCH RESTRAINT SYSTEM DESIGN IS FAULTY FOR CREW CAB MODELS. THE ANTI TILT ATTACHMENT POINT IS LOW BEHIND THE SEATBACK ON THE NISSAN FRONTIER CREW CAB. TO ATTACH THE STRAP YOU MUST TILT THE SEATBACK FORWARD. YOU CANNOT ADEQUATELY TIGHTEN THE STRAP ON MOST CAR SEATS, SINCE ATTEMPTING TO DO SO CAUSES THE SEATBACK TO RETURN TO THE UPRIGHT POSITION AND YOU CANNOT COMPLETELY TIGHTEN THE STRAP BEFORE HAVING TO REMOVE YOUR HAND. IF THE EXCESS STRAP IS LONG ENOUGH, THE CHILD SEAT BECOMES PERMANENTLY MOUNTED, BECAUSE, THEN, YOU CANNOT TILT …

A BURNING OR HOT COMPONENT ODOR OCCURRED ON A LONG TRIP WITH THE A/C SET TO AUTOMATIC CONTROL AT 74 F WITH OUTSIDE TEMPS IN THE 80'S.

A BAREFOOT PASSENGER FALLING ASLEEP COULD RECEIVE A BURN. IF CARGO OR A PURSE PREVE…
