Tail Light problems of the 1999 Nissan Frontier

Three problems related to tail light have been reported for the 1999 Nissan Frontier. The most recently reported issues are listed below.

1 Tail Light problem

Failure Date: 10/10/2006

: the contact stated the tail lights bulb constantly fell out the assembly. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who checked the VIN # to determine if it was under any recalls. There was a NHTSA recall #99v347002 regarding exterior lighting:tail lights. The contact notified the manufacturer, who confirmed that the vehicle was not included in the recall due to the VIN. No repairs were made.

2 Tail Light problem

Failure Date: 09/08/2003

Both lights and attachments by license plate fell out. Both bulbs and attachments were lost while driving 1 or two weeks apart. Airbag light flashing in past month. Have had mechanic check out and states fuse and everything is okay but the airbag light flashes continuously while vehicle is on. Firestone tires blew out at sidewall x2 tires at 30,000 miles. This was the original tires with vehicle bought brand new. Nissan or firestone stated could not reimburse for loss.

3 Tail Light problem

Failure Date: 08/07/2001

Brake lamps continuously fall out of sockets. This prevents both the tail lamps and the brake lamps from functioning. I found a recall for this condition, but it only applied to 2000 Frontiers.
