Nissan Cabstar 34-11 dropside 2007

1 star review

I have had cabstars for 15 years and have had the misfortune to own a 2007 cabstar. The rear gyres went flat after 50 miles, battery failed after 6 months, then the exhaust failed, after 12 months rust started appearing everywhere on the underside of the truck, crunching gears which Nissan said they could not notice on a road test, front shock absorbers failed after two years, main wiring loom rotted through after two and a half years Nissan just repaired it. At the end of the third year I contacted my Nissan main dealer twice about the rust situation on both occasions they took pictures then I was ignored, now the ladder rack is cracked due to a stress fracture and now the rust under the drivers seat is that bad the brackets that hold the seat in place have rusted away and the seat moves about when you sit on it and the van has only done 47k. Finally the tailboard is falling off because the welds have rotted on the fixings, the brakes constantly squeak and now have trouble with the front wheel bearing.

Nissan Cabstar 2007

We have run Cabstars for 25 Years and have had good reliability in the past but the last two models have been nothing like the old ones. In fact nothing like Nissans. There was a dangerous fault with the tyres deflating on motorways which the dealer couldn’t find the cause of. We found it- faulty valves. The cab protector/ladder bar cracked right through from vibration metal fatigue. There was evidence of rust from new which the dealer failed to put right but he did take lots of photos which meant we were without it on two days. Now after only 60,000 miles and just outside the waranty, the timing chain had gone so sloppy it has jumped a tooth and damaged the sprockets etc. What is worse is Nissan want £430 for the chain alone! and nearly another £400 for the sprocket, and tensioner. This is gross overcharging for parts.

Problem after problem: brakes, rear wheel bearings, oil seals, exhaust, Ariel body panels, seat cover, and foam electrics. Do not bother buying these trucks until Nissan have sorted them out maybe a few years how much has this cost me in time phone calls etc £100 and £100s...
