What owners wrote
Noise that is heard around the dashboard area, when the car is driven at 40 MPH to 45 MPH. Dealership cannot find the cause. They greased the vehicle, and tighten the bolts. No success.
Purchased materials at home depot and loaded them in my 2005 nissan frontier. Closed the tailgate and as I got on to the interstate (approx. 1 mile), I heard a loud slamming noise-looked back and my tailgate was being dragged, disattached and all my supplies scattered through out. What caused the incident was nissan has secured there tailgate cables to the bottom bolt of the latching/lock mechanism. I assume each time you open and close the tailgate-friction between the parts had continually loosened the bolt.
