2 Brake Light problem of the 2002 Nissan Frontier

Failure Date: 10/30/2006

Water gets in the seal of the upper rear tail light/cargo light. The water leaks through damaging the headliner and carpet. Also blew my fuse and none of the lights work in it, as well as blowing out the fuse every time I replace it. There is still no updated version or recall for it all you can do is get a new one and hope it lasts a little longer.

3 Brake Light problem of the 2003 Nissan Frontier

Failure Date: 09/15/2006

The high mounted brake light on my 2003 Nissan Frontier has seals that are compromised. The light assembly takes on water causing the brake light to fail. Nissan replaced the light once during the initial 36 months of the original warranty and refuses to replace the unit again. Since the brake light is a safety component, I would appreciate your investigation of this complaint. It is my position that Nissan is responsible for engineering and manufacturing a safety component that works properly.

5 Brake Light problem of the 2002 Nissan Frontier

Failure Date: 08/11/2003

2002 Nissan fontier crewcab. The 3rd tailight/stoplight that is mounted to the roof has a design flaw. First water fills the light assembly then it leaks into the cab. The carpet in the truck is now ruined, along with the headliner. A heavy downpour will force cups of water into the cab - not just a few drops. See odi#10025784 - as mine is not an isolated case. This problem needs a Nissan service bullitin or a recall.
