A 2023 Nissan Frontier 4×4 crew cab driver is now concerned for his fellow owners after discovering his truck was sold to him with a (welds missing) defective frame. Though the pickup was certified by a dealer,

He said he purchased the truck as a certified pre-owned unit with just 14,000 miles on it, and that it was meant to be a retirement gift to himself after serving in the Army for 16 years.

“The first thing I noticed was a squeak or rattle in the right front,” Bossinger told me. “I thought it was just a bushing or something like that so I didn’t make an appointment right away. About two weeks after the right front noise, the steering wheel started making a popping sound."

The Nissan had left the factory missing multiple crucial welds in its ladder chassis, placing excess strain on other parts of the frame. Some areas of the frame were bent, while others had developed stress fractures. The only fix was to replace the frame outright
