UPDATED VIN FOR COMPLAINT OF 6/21/16 ID NUMBER: 10875514 I NEED TO BE ON RECORD THAT THIS PROBLEM IS ONGOING(CURRENT MILES 52639). I BELIEVE MY PROBLEM CAN BE TRACED TO THE RIGHT CRASH ZONE SENSOR. THERE WAS A SIMILAR SAFETY RECALL FOR NISSAN FRONTIER ISSUED IN DECEMBER 2008. NISSAN BUILT THE EQUATOR TRUCK FOR SUZUKI. AMERICAN SUZUKI MOTORS IS OUT OF BUSINESS AND DECLARED BANKRUPTCY. I EXPECT PROPER HANDLING OF THIS REPAIR BY SUZUKI. THERE WERE A LIMITED NUMBER OF THESE UNITS SOLD AND I AM CONCERNED NHTSA IS NOT RESPONDING.
NO ACCIDENT, SRS WARNING LIGHT BEGAN TO FLASH AT MILEAGE 49,000 APPROXIMATE. NO RECALL NOTICE RECEIVED ABOUT POSSIBLE CORROSION ON FRONT SENSOR DUE TO ROAD SALT. ORIGINAL OWNER LIVES IN PENNSYLVANIA. THIS VEHICLE WAS BUILT BY NISSAN FOR SUZUKI (NOW OUT OF BUSINESS IN UNITED STATES) AND DESIGN IS SIMILAR TO FRONTIER PICKUP.
