CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO A BUMPER *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED THE BUMPER HE PURCHASED HAS A SERIOUS DESIGN FLAW THAT LED TO THE FAILURE OF THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM. DUE TO THE DESIGN OF ONE OF THE MOUNTING BRACKETS, IT MADE CONTACT WITH A METAL POWER STEERING LINE, AND FROM THE VIBRATION, IT RUBBED THROUGH THE LINE CAUSING TOTAL FAILURE OF THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM. THE LOCATION OF THE PROBLEM COULD NOT BE SEEN BEFORE OR DURING INSTALLATION, BUT ONLY WITH THE BUMPER ON, BY LOOKING THROUGH AN OPENING LESS THAN TWO INCHES, AT JUST THE RIGHT ANGLE, WITH A FLASH LIGHT. *JB
(1) THE TRUCKS SPRAY-ON BEDLINER HAS HOLES AND CRACKS THAT EXTEND THE WIDTH OF THE BOX, PARALLEL TO THE TAILGATE (ABOUT 50CM FROM THE TAILGATE). THE ISSUE BECAME APPARENT BECAUSE WHITE SALT RINGS FORMED ON THE SURFACE OF THE BEDLINER (BOX IS COVERED) DUE TO SALT MIGRATING UP FROM THE ROADWAY. PER THE DEALER, THE BOX IS MISSING METAL AND/OR WELDS, AND CANNOT BE FULLY INSPECTED DUE TO THE EXISTENCE OF SAID BEDLINER. (2) THE BOX APPEARS TO BE IMPROPERLY CONNECTED TO THE TRUCKS FRAME. SPECIFICALLY, WHEN STANDING BY THE SIDE OF THE TRUCK, AND LOOKING INTO THE REAR WHEEL WELLS, THE VISIBLE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE BOX AND THE FRAME IS SLOTTED FOR A BOLT, BUT IS NOT BOLTED. THE DEALER WAS TOLD BY NISSAN THAT THE AREA IS HELD TOGETHER BY WELDS. HOWEVER, THERE IS A 5MM-THICK RUBBER SHIM/WASHER THAT IS PLACED BETWEEN THE BOX AND FRAME AT THIS POINT. THIS BEGS THE FOLLOWING QUESTION: HOW CAN THE AREA BE WELDED IF THE AFOREMENTIONED METAL SURFACES ARE NOT IN PHYSICAL CONTACT? THAT NOTWITHSTANDING, THE RUBBER SHIMS HAVE BOTH STARTED TO SHIFT OUT OF POSITION.
