That is excellent news. I was wondering whether the dealer really swapped the tail shaft over for me or just said they did. Or perhaps there was a bad lot and they just swapped over an out of spec one off a like vehicle. I wish there was more liaison between the mechanic and the customer rather...

Let us know the outcome. It didn't work for me or anyone else I've spoken to. Good luck

All I can say is, don't give up.

Welcome to the Forum. I have a NP300 STX 4x4. I'm looking forward to hearing your general impression of the D23, especially since you changed over from Toyota.

Hi anand1969, I agree with you, I doubt that the mounting between the body and chassis is it. If it was, then they all would shake To me the shudder/shake is something out of balance in the driveline. At least they are trying to fix it for you, rather than just giving you...

I'm glad you didn't get injured happy john. The chance of anyone helping a person in trouble these days is slim, I'm ashamed to say. When I was young everyone helped. Nowadays they just video it and sell to the media. You can only hope that whoever filmed it and showed the footage to a friend...

Also, I have been in touch with a couple of other owners up your way. They have the same problem and they get the same treatment from their dealers as well. Maybe we are all just waiting and hoping for a good outcome.

Yeah Jonney, a name and shame could be in order. I have a few things on the go regarding this matter, so I will wait on the outcome.

Hi Rocky2228, That's good news that they fixed the vibration for you. I've got no idea to what lengths the dealer went to resolve the problem with mine. They seemed to concentrate on the wheels and tyres, but that's not it. They will not do anything further at the dealer and...

Hi again, The dealer swapped wheels and tyres off the same model as mine, but no difference. I had the wheels and tyres checked, no problems there. The dealer loaned me the Navara ST with 16" wheels. This was when mine was being checked. I drove two Navaras with 16" wheels, they much better...

Hi anand1969 Mine has twin turbo 2.3lt engine, 7 speed auto and 18" alloy wheels and shakes like crazy. Here they call the model STX.

We got the genuine adventure canopy. I think it cost around $4300 fitted. It has central locking, but that doesn't always work on the side lift up window. Also the lift up window doesn't seem to fit properly and rattles on corrugations, this activates the interior light which in turn activates...

I haven't got an issue with the steering on the NP300 but plenty of people on forums complain that it's not as precise as other 4wd utes.

I'm jealous that you got a good one lol. Mine is the gold colour STX as well. I should have got the ST. Much better ride. NP300 owners have issues with the steering, no outside temp etc., but that fades into insignificance when you have the vibration problem at around 100kph that mine has.

How do recalls get initiated? I had a D40 for many years and had many recalls, from wheels to towbar. Nissan "Customer Service" is just a fob off. Problems need to be sent in writing, not only to the dealer and Nissan Australia but also the relevant consumer authorities. Then something may be...

Thanks, I'm drafting a letter to consumer affairs as we speak. I'm in the RACV so will contact them as well. I could not believe the attitude of the bloke from Nissan. He was adamant that a constant vibration at 100kph is normal and if I want a better ride, buy a set of wheels off an ST. I...

[ can you also get another party to test your vehicle ? I'm not sure. Consumer affairs suggested Nissan get someone else or I must get written permission from Nissan for anyone else to look at it. Something to do with not voiding the warranty. But Nissan will not go any further. Any...

I can't believe it. Just got off the phone from Nissan customer service. He rang the dealer while I waited. Dealer told him that there's nothing wrong with my Navara, the ride is just a characteristic of 18" low profile tyres. He actually told me to buy new wheels and tyres if I want a better...

I only just read this. Wish I had read it a couple of months ago. I have a 1971 CB750K2 which I restored about 10 years ago. Hardly ever ride it now and left it for 12 months. Naturally it wouldn't go so took off carbies (a real mission) and the bowls looked like they had been lacquered on the...

Thanks to Bakes and Jonney. I contacted Consumer Affairs. They advised me to contact Nissan and ask for a third party independent test. I emailed Nissan through their website and had a phone call within half an hour. Looks like the dealer may have been telling porky pies, Nissan hadn't closed my...
