 The passenger side headlamp assembly is warped where the silver divider is between the top and bottom also the side amber deflector inside the assembly is broken. the driver side headlamp both the reflectors inside are out of place, the larger one has slid down where the main headlight is. you cannot get inside the headlamp assembly to repair these. the only option is to replace them. nissan refuses to replace them because my warranty is no longer valid since i have over 36,000 miles. the vehicle is a 2008 nissan frontier. i have never been involved in any accident. i have never replaced the bulbs. *tr

 We own a 2008 nissan frontier truck/ 4 wheel drive, 6cyl. the brakes are far too soft,and spongy, require far too much pedal travel to be safe or effective, or to be effectively used by anyone!! all frontier models have this same problem. they need to be recalled/brake system corrected & made firmer, safer! *tr
