What 1995 Nissan D21 owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
This is the 2nd nissan pickup truck that I have owned that the transmission has gone out. There is no reverse or 2nd gear.
Around 35 MPH, the speedometer's needle moves from 0 to 100 MPH until it gets to about 40 MPH. While it is moving, it makes a strange noise. Also, the needle sometimes moves over to 100 MPH and stays for a few seconds, no matter the speed of the truck. It is difficult to determine the speed the vehicle is traveling.
No summary.
Transmission keeps overheating, and when it overheats the transmission hose will bust, causing all the fluid to leak out. Dealer has been contacted.
When vehicle is parked on a slope and left in first gear, it is possible to lean against the vehicle and actually causing it begin to roll backwards down a hill. Unless brake is on, the transmission will not hold the vehicle, if bumped or even leaned agaiinst. Also, horn is soft and only works intermittently.
When shiffting from neutral to first gear the gear sticks and will not go into first gear unless shifted a couple of times. The linkage between the gear shift and transmission has been ajusted (3) times within the last year. The throw out bearing was replaced in aug 97. The problem still exists.
Took vehicle to dealer for an oil change and the tires in front were bald; so dealer replaced the tires with new tires. This was when the vehicle was at 8000 miles. Noticed that at 15000 miles the new replacement tires had start wearing out, and the dealerr said that they will not fix them this time. Consumer wants to know why his tires are wearing out so fast at low mileage. *akthe alignment has been adjusted severla times but the tires continue to wear prematurely (not tire info was given), the front end sticks/locks up when making full turns in 4 wheel drive, the fuel economy is low, the ashtray falls out of the dashboard, the truck slides sideways when stopping on icy roads, the speedometer failed.
The speedometer fluctuates wildly between 0 and 35. Dealer adjusted the head of the speedometer.
Speedometer is temperamental, sticks at zero or 35 MPH, remains at this level. Could cause crash. Dealer replaced speedometer, problem reoccurred. Dealer could not duplicate problem.
