Hes bald and on the thinner side and ugly. im being framed for rapes & murders that hes done along w\ everyone i know from my pass that are deseased and and still alive. I dont appreciate the trap house or the drug rape sex house that i own utilized by these drug sex rapist murders. Its so funny that people i know are dropping in that property and never coming out alive. i just did a few things to prove that im correct and the fake 5 proud boys are utilizing me from district 15 to get away with murder and rape. Yes.. they ate rapping men, woman and children and black mailing them by the millions. Im stationed under a goverment security from the Government Center that are being installed everywhere nation wide because Im the President of the United States and the schools all around where im at or go by are closed for what is going on at the property. i set a curfew into affect and everyone is watching who ate entering and but never leave alive. Everyone you see there on a daily basis are not who they claim to be.Im being framed for all the rapes and murders just when i got cancer and has lived passed all those time i been poison to death. i have seen it for myself online that i cant beleive it.... i looked like someone else thats doing the rapes and murders.. I dont think its funny any more but they think so. Nothing but meth addicts w\a raping desease. im so over it that im watching it for myself so everyone can see for them selfs. I rather die from cancer than to be poison from a drug overdozes i have had by the fake cop wanna be police with their drug issue & mental murder desease because Im the President Of the United States and not them. I have uploaded the VIN # of the vehicle online wirh the plates and I didnt have them register that vehicle for me or as a request. Nothing but delusional homocidles men!!!!!!.

DEAR SIR/MADAM: MY VEHICLE HAS HAD THE FOLLOWING PROBLEM/FAILURE OF THE REARVIEW MIRROR SYSTEM, YET THE DEALER STATES IT MY RESPONSIBLE TO PAY TO FIX THE ITEM REGARDLESS OF A FORMALLY ISSUED SERVICE BULLETIN. IS THAT TRUE?? COPY OF SERVICE BULLETIN: MAKE : NISSANMODEL : XTERRAYEAR : 2001 MANUFACTURER : NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, INC. SERVICE BULLETIN NUMBER : 04133DATE OF BULLETIN : FEB 25, 2005 NHTSA ITEM NUMBER : 10012843 COMPONENT : VISIBILITY:REARVIEW MIRRORS/DEVICES [XXX] PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ALL OF THE WINDOW REGULATORS ON MY 2002 NISSAN XTERRA DO NOT WORK,CAUSING THE WINDOWS TO NEVER BE USED FOR FEAR OF THEM BEING STUCK IN THE DOWN POSITION. I HAVE HAD TO REPAIR THE DRIVERS SIDE ONCE ALREADY TO THE TUNE OF $200. THIS APPARENTLY A KNOWN PROBLEM BY NISSAN,AND THE BEST THEY WOULD DO IS TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY TO 60K MILES OR 5 YEARS FROM PURCHASE. MOST PEOPLE I'VE TALKED TO WERE ALREADY PAST THIS POINT,SO THERE IS NOTHING THAT NISSAN WILL DO FOR THEM...ME INCLUDED. I COULD REPLACE THE OTHER 3 WINDOWS BUT AT $200 EA AND WITH IT BEING A KNOWN ISSUE WHY SHOULD I BE STUCK WITH THIS. *TR

MY WIFE'S CAR WAS IN NEED OF TWO FRONT TIRES SO I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO WHEELS 360- IT WAS THE ONLY SHOP OPEN AND I WAS CRUNCHED ON TIME. SHE IS AN EMT AND I AM AN EDUCATOR SO WE DO NOT HAVE MUCH SPARE TIME DURING THE WEEK. THE SHOP OVER CHARGED ME FOR TWO LOW QUANTITY TIRES. THERE WERE TWO WORKERS REPLACING THE TIRES ON MY VEHICLE. THE WORKER REPLACING THE WHEEL ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DAMAGED THE WHEEL STUDS BECAUSE HE WAS ON A HURRY. THE LEAD WORKER AND TWO OTHERS SPENT 2 HOURS TRYING TO FIX THE STUDS AND GET SOME OF THE LUG NUTS BACK ON. THEY MANAGED TO GET 5 OUT OF THE SIX ON. THEY INSISTED ON SENDING ME HOME WITH A WHEEL MISSING ONE LUG NUT. THEY ASKED ME TO COMEBACK TOMORROW OR SOME OTHER DAY TO FIX IT. IT WAS CLOSE TO 9 PM BY THAT TIME, AND I WAS FRUSTRATED. I DROVE HOME AND ON THE WAY HOME, THE CENTER HUB PLASTIC COVERING FELL OFF. IT EXPOSED THE AXLE/BEARING. I FEEL THAT VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND I DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING MY TODDLER AROUND. SHOPS LIKE THE ONE MENTIONED SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO OPERATE BECAUSE THEY COMPROMISE DRIVERS' SAFETY.I WOULD LIKE 1. A REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE OVERPRICED TIRES AND 2. MY VEHICLE PROPERLY SERVICED SO THAT IT'S SAFE TO DRIVE.THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION.

TIRES ARE RECALLED AND CAUSE THE SPEEDOMETER TO REGISTER SLOWER THAN ACTUAL SPEED

TIRES ARE DEVELOPING A SERIES OF CRACKS EXTENDING FROM THE TAP INTO THE SIDEWALLS

2002 NISSAN XTERRA: THE SPARE TIRE HOLDER WINCH MECHANISM IN NE REGIONS RUSTS (FROM WHAT I GATHER IN ON LINE RESEARCH THE PROBLEM IS RAMPANT) AND FREEZES NOT ALLOWING YOU TO LOWER THE TIRE TO REPLACE A FLAT. I HAD A FLAT ON A VERY BUSY ROAD. I COULD NOT LOWER THE SPARE AND BENT THE ROD. CALLED AAA. HAD TO HAVE FLAT TIRE TAKEN OFF AND REPAIRED BEFORE I COULD MOVE AGAIN. VERY DANGEROUS TO NOT BE ABLE TO REPAIR FLAT. AFTER I WENT TO TIRE STORE. THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO RELEASE WINCH AND INDICATED THEY SEE THE ISSUE VERY OFTEN IN NISSAN SUVS. THEY SAID MY ONLY OPTION WAS TO CUT OFF WINCH MECHANISM AND KEEP SPARE IN BACK OF VEHICLE. AFTER DECLINING, I DID RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THIS PROBLEM IS VERY COMMON. THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALLS THAT I COULD FIND ON LINE AND I STILL HAVE NOT FOUND A REASONABLE FIX. *TR

I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM HERTZ, THECAR HAD BEEN IN A ACCIDENT BEFORE I BOUGHT IT. I DID NOT FIND OUT ABOUT THE ACCIDENT UNTIL AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR. THE CAR TIRES COULD NOT STAY ALIGNED, THE HEADLIGHTS WERE SHOOTING UP ABOUT 15 FEET OFF THE GROUND, THERE IS PAINT SPLATTER ON THE INSIDE OF THE CAR MOTOR, PAINT SPLATTER ON THE OUTSIDE BY THE GUARDS TIRE, AND YOU CAN SEE PAINT ON THE HOOD BY THE WINDOW ON THE RIGHT SIDE, THE TOE HOOK ON THE RIGHT SIDE LOOKS TO BE NEW.THERE IS A PAINT LINE ON THE INSIDE OF ENGINE COMPARTMENT, THE HOOD IS NEW, THERE ISNO RUBBER MOUNT ON THE HOOD ARM THAT HOLD THE HOOK UP. OVER SPRAY ON THE LEFT DRIVERS DOOR. *TR

STEERING WHEEL DOES NOT LOCK WHEN IGNITION IS TURNED OFF. IGNITION CAN BE IN OFF POSITION AND KEYS REMOVED WITH GEAR SHIFTER STILL IN "D" DRIVE. I DID NOT KNOW THIS WAS NOT NORMAL UNTIL ON 7/16/2004 THE STEERING WHEEL WAS LOCKED AND IT TOOK APPRX 10 MINUTES OF ADJUSTING WHEEL AND ON/OFF OF THE BRAKE PEDAL TO GET THE WHEEL TO UNLOCK. I THEN READ THE OWNERS MANUAL AND REALIZED I SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO REMOVE THE KEYS FROM THE IGNITION WHEN THE GEAR SHIFTER STILL IN DRIVE. I HAVE DONE THIS MANY TIMES AFTER THE 2ND OR 3RD I CAONTACTED THE DEALER TO LET THEM KNOW I WAS NOT HAPPY WITH THIS VEHICLE AS I HAD TO ACTUALLY RUN AFTER IT AT A GAS STATION. THE SERVICE REP AT TROPHY NISSAN SAID MY TRUCK WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY BUT THEY WILL LOOK AT IT AND TELL ME HOW MUCH IT WILL COST TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THIS IS NOT A WARRANTY ISSUE, THIS VEHICLE IS CLEARLY DEFECTIVE AND VERY DANGEROUS. BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM I DO NOT ALLOW ANY FAMILY MEMBER TO DRIVE THIS TRUCK IN FEAR THEY WILL EITHER RUN OVER THEMSELVES OR INJURY SOMEONE ELSE WHEN THE TRUCK ROLLS AWAY.*AK

ENGINE MAKES LOUD "WHISTLING" SOUND; ENGINE DEFINITELY LOST POWER OVER THE LAST YEAR; WILL NOT GO OVER 70-75 MPH; MAKES LOUD WHINING/GRINDING SOUND WHEN SHIFTING GEARS; PULLS TO THE RIGHT ALL THE WHILE DRIVING; USING AN EXTRAORDINARY AMOUNT OF GAS. (CONSUMER CAN ALSO BE EMAILED AT [email protected]) *LA

VEHICLES WITH EXTREMELY BRIGHT HEADLIGHTS CAUSE A DANGER TO OTHER DRIVERS. I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT DRIVERS WITH THEIR HIGH BEAMS ON, I'M REFERRING TO REGULAR HEADLIGHTS THAT ARE UNUSUALLY BRIGHT. I WAS ALMOST IN AN ACCIDENT ON THE 405 FREEWAY LAST NIGHT BECAUSE A DRIVER BEHIND ME WITH BRIGHT HEADLIGHTS BLINDED ME AND I VEERED INTO THE NEXT LANE BECAUSE WE WERE ON A CURVE AND I COULDN'T SEE WELL ENOUGH TO STAY IN MY LANE. I HAVE HEARD MANY OF MY FRIENDS COMPALIN ABOUT CARS WITH BRIGHT HEADLIGHTS ALMOST CAUSING ACCIDENTS FOR THEM BECAUSE THE LIGHT CAN BE BLINDING, SIMILAR TO A FLASH BULB ON A CAMERA GOING OFF IN YOUR FACE IN A DARK ROOM. THESE BRIGHT LIGHTS SHOULD NOT BE LEGAL FOR REGULAR DRIVING USE, THEY SHOULD BE USED ONLY IN THE SAME CONDITIONS THAT HIGH BEAMS ARE USED.

I HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING TO BANKSTON NISSAN OF IRVING ABOUT THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT SEAT SHAKING BADLY WHEN DRIVEN. THERE FIRST ANSWER ON 5/29/02 WAS THERE IS NOTHING WE CAN DO. THE NEXT TIME I COMPLAINED THE ANSWER WAS THERE MIGHT BE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE TIRES OR THEY MIGHT BE OF BALANCE. THE LAST TIME I TOOK IT TO THEM THEY TOLD ME THAT ALL XTERRA SEATS SHAKE LIKE THAT. I TOOK IT TO URBAN NISSAN FOR A SECOND OPINION THEY TOLD ME WITHIN 1 HOUR THAT THE SEAT BACK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THIS TELLS ME THAT THE SERVICE TECH AT BANKSTON DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING OR THEY ARE BEING RACIST AGAINST SOME RACES. DP

DT: THE CONTACT IS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH HER AIR CONDITION. HER BROTHER HAS A 2001 NISSAN XTERRA AND THEY DONE A RECALL ON HIS AIR CONDITION AND SHE IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH HER AIR CONDITION IT WILL NOT WORK THE DEALER TOLD HER SOMETHING ABOUT A FUSE HOLE. *NM
