Let me start off by saying I LOVE MY TRUCK!! But let me also say that I would like for Nissan to start a more in-depth quality control program to make sure the assembly workers are at least tightening things up on the line.
My truck has just over 600 miles on it, it's never been off-road and I haven't even hit a hard bump with it yet so all the loose bolts I found the other night came from the factory this way, of which I think is unexcuseable on Nissan's part. I've attached several pictures that I took and hope that most of you check yours before rattles start to drive you crazy and for safety sake too.
My advice is to allocate several hours of your time with a bright light, lots of metric sockets/wrenches, a bottle of loc-tite and go hunting...Start under the truck front to back then go inside front to back. Put a socket or wrench on every bolt, nut, and screw you lay eyes on and give it a twist to see if it's loose. By the way, I'm not talking "improperly torqued" here either, I'm talking 1 to 4 turns loose!!! :evil: I'm still pretty upset with this issue and may send these photos to Nissan because if they want to improve, here's their chance.
If you have any more to add to this post please do so with either pictures or a good verbal description of what and where you found it so we can all learn.
Thanks,
Dale
