Bumper Problems of Nissan Frontier

2010 Nissan Frontier. Consumer writes in regards to a bumper the consumer stated the bumper he purchased has a serious design flaw that led to the failure of the power steering system. Due to the design of one of the mounting brackets, it made contact with a metal power steering line, and from the vibration, it rubbed through the line causing total failure of the power steering system. The location of the problem could not be seen before or during installation, but only with the bumper on, by looking through an opening less than two inches, at just the right angle, with a flash light.

The base model 2004 Nissan Frontier is sold without the rear bumper causing an unsafe condition. In the event of a rear end collision, the lack of a bumper would transfer 100% of the energy from the impact to the body of the car, injuring the truck's occupants. Additionally, a rear bumper would stop a vehicle from being pushed under the Frontier in the event of a rear end collision.

I am making you aware of a potentially unsafe situation. Nissan sells Frontier trucks (called the "base" model) without rear bumpers. I received a ticket while driving my new vehicle, having been told that this was illegal. Nissan denies this. In any case, it would seem to compromise safety in persons purchasing Nissan Frontier trucks.

The rear bumper is rated to tow 3500 lbs and its is rusting out on the back side.
