Consumer states that the vehicle failed its missouri state inspection due to the broken front sway bar stabilizer connecting rod, Nissan changed the design by increasing the diameter of the bolt and increasing the hardness from a 5 to an 8, yet denied any problem to the consumer.
There was a popping noise when the vehicle was turned or going over a bump, the dealer determined a bolt which held the sway bar assembly had come out. One year later the bolt on the other side came out.
We own two 2000 Frontiers, an both trucks have the broken sway bar suspension bolts. Since the original production bots were used nissian has incresed the replacement bolt in diameter and from a #5 hardness to a # 8 hardness bolt. The problem is they only replace the failed bolt that fails if it is in warranty. In both 2000 trucks we own the left fron bolts have failed with affect sway control of the trucks Nissan claims thee is not a problem, but the lou fusz Nissan dealership in st. Louis admitted that the stock the bolts because they have such a high failure rate with te trucks that are coming into their dealership. Perhps it's time to find out how many trucks are out there with broken suspension systems. The first failed truck was dicovered by an alert service inspection tech were we service our vehicles. This seems to be a bigger problem than Nissan is willing to acknowledge.
