NHTSA complaint: 2002 NISSAN FRONTIER — ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
DT: THE CONTACT STATED CAR CAUGHT ON FIRE ON 6-23-05. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT THOUGHT IT WAS THE WIPER MOTOR THAT SHORTED OUT. NISSAN SENT OUT A REPRESENTATIVE, AND HE COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED THE FIRE. NISSAN WAS NOT HONORING THE WARRANTY BECAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE SOMETHING LIKE A BIRD NEST CAUGHT ON FIRE. IT WAS AT A DEALERSHIP NOW. THE CONSUMER THOUGHT IT WAS AN OVERHEATED TERMINAL THAT CAUSED THE FIRE. *AK
