2006 Nissan Frontier Extended Cab

The contact owns a 2006 Nissan Frontier. The contact stated that while pulling out of his driveway, he noticed that the steering wheel was significantly loose. The contact continued to drive the vehicle. The dealer was notified of the failure and advised the contact that they were not aware of that failure. The contact stated that the failure had been reoccurring while driving. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to NHTSA. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 111,000.

On June 30, July 6 and 9th 2021 I was driving down the street at 50 miles p/hr. And the truck just stopped in the middle of the road. No engine just stopped. I called the NHtSAAnd reported this according to the October 28th 2010NHtSA campaign number 10V517000 engine Control Model. It was recalled and supposedly repaired. The person I talked to Kathyrn said that it had been recalled and fixed so it was no longer a recall problem. This vechile is a safety recall and still is, It should be fixed, it was evidently not fixed before.

ON 2/2/2019, I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO AAMCO TRANSMISSIONS TO HAVE MY TRANSMISSION CHECKED, BECAUSE PRIOR TO THIS DATE I WAS EXPERIENCING ALOT OF JERKING AND OTHER ISSUES, ESPECIALLY ON THE HIGHWAY. AFTER AAMCO TECHS LOOKED OVER MY TRANSMISSION, I WAS CONTACTED & INFORMED THAT I HAD A DEFECTIVE RADIATOR THAT HAD CONTAMINATED MY TRANSMISSION, DUE TO THE RADIATOR LEAKING COOLANT INTO MY TRANSMISSION. I WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT NISSAN HAD A LAWSUIT REGARDING THIS VERY PROBLEM, WHICH I WAS IN SHOCK, SINCE NO ONE HAD EVER ADVISED ME THROUGH MAIL, EMAIL, OR EVEN WORD OF MOUTH. MY FRONTIER IS A 2006, BUT I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN MAY OF 2007, & ON 2/2/2019, MY FRONTIER ONLY HAD 80,034 MILES ON IT. I'M DISABLED, & I NEED MY VEHICLE FOR DOCTOR APPTS, & FOR MY TWO CHILDREN AS WELL. THE MOST FRUSTRATING PART OF IT ALL IS, I TAKE MY FRONTIER TO THE LOCAL NISSAN TO HAVE THEM DO THE OIL CHANGES & TIRE ROTATIONS WHENEVER ITS DUE, & THEY ALWAYS CHECK ALL OF MY FLUIDS AT THE SAME TIME. IN ADDITION, THIS ISSUE AROUSE IN 2006 BEFORE I PURCHASED THE FRONTIER, BUT NOTHING WAS EVER CONVEYED TO ME ABOUT ANY ISSUES WITH THIS PARTICULAR YEAR OR MODEL. SINCE THERE WERE 3-4 MODELS AFFECTED BETWEEN 2005 THRU 2010. I HAD AAMCO REPLACE THE RADIATOR & TRANSMISSION, WHICH COST ME $4,000.00, & MY FRONTIER ONLY HAD 80,000 MILES ON IT, I'VE NEVER HEARD OR EVEN EXPERIENCED SUCH AN ISSUE, ESPECIALLY WITH SUCH LOW MILEAGE BEFORE! I EVEN REACHED OUT TO NISSAN CORPORATE OFFICE, BUT THEY DID NOT FEEL RESPONSIBLE FOR THE $1,500.00, WHICH THEY ARE BECAUSE THEY ARE THE ONES THAT PUT DEFECTIVE RADIATORS INTO THEIR PRODUCTS, BUT DID NOT SEND OUT ANY NOTIFICATIONS ABOUT THIS POTENTIAL PROBLEM THAT A OWNER COULD HAVE. MY FAMILY OR MYSELF COULD'VE EASILY BEEN HURT BECAUSE OF THEIR NEGLIGENCE IN NOT NOTIFYING CONSUMERS/OWNERS. DO THEY NOT CARE ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS, OR IS IT JUST ABOUT THE ALL MIGHTY DOLLAR!!

AFTER TURNING OVER 72,000 MILES, A SLIGHT VIBRATION WAS NOTICED DURING NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. OUR LOCAL TRANSMISSION MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A NON-REPAIRABLE TRANSMISSION DUE TO RADIATOR FLUID MIXING WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID: RESULTING IN THE NEED FOR A BRAND NEW TRANSMISSION.

IPDM MODULE AND ECM SYSTEMS FAILURE 4.0 L V-6 CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON ALSO BATTERY LIGHT

THE TRANSMISSION IN ONE DAY LOST REVERSE DRIVE AND LEFT ME ON THE FREEWAY WITH THE MOTOR REVING UP.AND DOWN AND DYING WHILE THE TRANSMISSION JUST SPUN ,LEAVING ME TO TOW IT TO THE NEAREST TRANSMISSION SHOP, THE VEHICLE WAS ON THE FREEWAY MOVING AT ABOUT 5 MPH WITH TOOK THE MOTOR ABOUT 3 OR 4 THOUSAND RPM TO MOVE BECAUSE THE GEARS WERE GONE AND APPARENTLY FROM A AUXILIARY TRANSMISSION COOLER THAT MINE NEEDED

2006 NISSAN FRONTIER TRANSMISSION FAILING DUE TO ENGINE COOLANT AND TRANSMISSION FLUID MIXING. TRUCK STARTED JERKING AT TIMES JUST CRUISING USUALLY BETWEEN 40 AND 50 MPH THEN WORSE. COOLANT RESERVOIR AND RADIATOR WAS NOTICED IN COMPONENTS. TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP AND GAVE ME A PRICE OF 5300 TO REPLACE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION AND FLUSH ALL SYSTEMS. I HAD BEEN READING REVIEWS ON THESE MODELS AND WAS HOPING THIS WASN'T THE ISSUE ON MINE. AS SOON AS I NOTICED THE FLUID CONTAMINATION I WAS SICK. HAD NO IDEA OF THIS PROBLEM. ALOT OF REVIEWS SAY STEER CLEAR OF THESE VEHICLES. THIS FRONTIER IS MY 3RD OWNED NISSAN VEHICLE. NEVER AGAIN!!!!!!!!

FUEL SENDING UNIT WORKING SPORADICALLY AND TRIGGERED CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. FUEL GAUGE IS MARKING HALF TANK THEN SLOWLY WENT UP, BUT FUEL TANK WAS FILLED UP. THERE IS ALSO A RECALL ON RADIATOR LEAKING ANTIFREEZE INTO TRANSMISSION BUT HAS NOT HAPPENED YET.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE UPON DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN SLOWLY TO THE RESIDENCE. THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT RADIATOR FLUID HAD LEAKED INTO HER TRANSMISSION WHICH HAD CAUSED THE TRANSMISSION TO FAIL. THE CONTACT THEN TOWED THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO CONFIRMED THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER HAD BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED HER THAT HER VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. THERE WERE ALSO NO RECALLS ON HER VEHICLE IN RELATION TO THE FAILURE. THE DEALER WAS NOT INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BY THE SAME INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 105,000.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED HOWEVER, NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

FOR THREE CONSECUTIVE TIMES I HAVE BEEN HAVING A PROBLEM WITH MY CAR. WHEN I DRIVE IT FOR A FEW MILES AFTER I TURN IT OFF AND I WANTED TO START IT AGAIN I HAVE TO WAIT LIKE AN HOUR TO GO ON AGAIN. I HAVE TAKE IT A COUPLE OF TIMES TO THE DEALER AND HAD CHARGE ME $ 450.00 AND TWO OR THREE YEARS AFTER SAME PROBLEM BUT THEY NEVER HAD TOLD ME WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. WHAT CAN I DO IN THIS CASE?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOSS MOTIVE POWER AND STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED TWICE. AN UNKNOWN DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE RADIATOR FAILED WHICH ALLOWED COOLANT FLUID TO ENTER THE TRANSMISSION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 106,000. *TR

DRIVING TO WORK AND VEHICLE SHUT OFF AND COASTED TO A STOP. I TRIED TO RESTART AND IT ACTED LIKE IT WAS NOT GETTING FUEL. THE GAS GAUGE WAS SHOWING SLIGHTLY UNDER A 1/4 OF A TANK. I HAD SOMEONE COME GET ME AND TAKE ME HOME. AFTER DOING A LITTLE ONLINE RESEARCH I FOUND A NHTSA RECALL FOR THAT SPECIFIC TRUCK CAMPAIGN ID# 10V075000, RECALL DATE 3/3/2010. AFTER READING THIS I WENT AND PURCHASED SOME GAS AND PUT IT IN THE TRUCK.THE TRUCK FIRED RIGHT UP BUT THE GAS HAND DIDN'T MOVE. CALLED TWO LOCAL NISSAN DEALERS AND TALKED TO THEM ABOUT THE RECALL BUT THEY FOUND NONE FOR MY VIN.

TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING AND THEN LOST REVERSE.AND FINALLY JUST KEPT SLIPPING AND WOULDN'T MOVE MORE THAN A FEW HUNDRED FEET ,AND WOULD TURN OFF AND WOULDN'T RESTART UNTIL THE TRANSMISSION COOLED OFF,AND WHEN IT RESTARTED THE IDLE OR TACHOMETER WOULD JUMP INTO THE RED LINE AREA EVEN THOUGH THE TRUCK WOULDN'T DRIVE PAST 20 MPH. COASTING ON THE FREEWAY I WOULD PULL TO THE SIDE AND HAVE CARS DRIVE AROUND MR WHILE TRYING TO PUSH IT OFF THE SHOULDER,LOOKING FOR AN OFF RAMP TO GO TO THE NEAREST TRANSMISSION SHOP I COULD FIND..SECONDLY I HAD TO REPLACE MY FUEL SENDER AND OR. MY FUEL PUMP I T WENT OUT WHEN I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY THINKING I HAD A HALF A TANK WHEN ACTUALLY IT WAS ON EMPTY ..SO I REALLY NEVER KNEW HOW MUCH FUEL IT HAD UNTIL I GOT IT FIXED AT SAM'S AUTOMOTIVE IN BEAUMONT CA .92223 AND SAM HAS RETURNED AND SOLD THE BUSINESS SO I HAVE NO RECEIPT ONLY REMEMBERING IT COSTS BETWEEN 500 AND 100 DOLLARS .. AND YES I CHECKED AND IT TOO HAD A RECALL AND I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED

TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING AND THEN LOST REVERSE AND FINALLY JUST KEPT SPINNING AND WOULDN'T MOVE MORE THAN A FEW HUNDRED FEET AND WOULD TURN OFF AND NOT RESTART TILL TRANSMISSION COOLED OFF ..AND WHEN IT WOULD RESTART THE IDLE OR TACHOMETER WOULD ACCELERATE INTO THE RED LINE AREA WHILE COASTING ON THE FREEWAY HEADING TO NEAREST TRANSMISSION SHOP I COULD FIND OFF FREEWAY

FUEL GAUGE STARTED HANGING ON A QUARTER TANK WHEN I HAD MUCH LESS THEN WHEN I REALIZED THAT IT HAS TO BE WRONG AND FILLED IT UP IT WOULD GO TO EMPTY AND TURN ON CHECK ENGINE UNTIL IT GOT DOWN A WAYS THEN WORK UNTIL 1/4 AGAIN WHERE IT WOULD SIT UNTIL YOU RAN OUT.SAME SCENARIO AS NHTSA #10V-075 BUT NISSAN SAYS MY TRUCK WAS NOT AFFECTED VIN# EVEN THOUGH IT HAS LOW MILEAGE AND WENT OUT AT ABOUT 70000 MI RANGE

THE TRANSMISSION LINE THAT RUNS THROUGH THE RADIATOR BROKE IN HALF , THE COOLING WAS PUSHED INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND THE TRANSMISSION OIL WAS PUSHED INTO THE RADIATOR,, THE RADIATOR, RADIATOR HOSES ,TRANSMISSION LINES , THREATS, HEAT CORE, WATER PUMP, AND READ TO TANK , NOW HAD OIL AND COOLING IN THEM , D-PATRICK OF EVANSVILLE INDIANA HAD RAN A 15 POINT INSPECTION ON THIS TRUCK , THEY SAID THE RADIATOR WAS LEAKING AND THE TRANSMISSION OIL WAS DISCOLORED, THEY KNEW THAT THERE WAS SOME THING WRONG WITH THIS TRIF I.

CAMPAIGN ID PC042, I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK USED FROM A DEALER WHEN I WENT TO FILL UP THE GAUGE READ EMPTY I FOUND THIS RECALL BUT THE NISSAN DEALER SAID MY TRUCK ISN'T ON THE RECALL , IT IS DOING EXACTLY WHAT THE RECALL CLAIMS AND IT'S FOR 2006-2008 FRONTIER , I CAN'T AFGORD TO GET IT FIX AND THEY WON'T HONOR THE RECALL .

IN APRIL 2019 I WAS DRIVING MY 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER TRUCK 4X4 V6 . SUDDENLY I NOTICE A LACK OF POWER AND THEN IT DID NOT MOVE ANY WHERE. I CALL A TOW TRUCK SERVICES TO TAKE IT TO THE MECHANICS. THE WAS THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE FAILURE , DO TO THE RADIATOR COIL LEAKING. WE PUT A NEW RADIATOR AND BOUGHT A TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE THAT COST $964.00 DOLLARS. TH3 MECHANIC INSTALLED IT AND RECOMMENDED TO TAKE IT TO NISSAN FOR PROGRAMMING. AFTER 3 TIMES TRYING NISSAN SAD THAT THE CONTROL MODULE WAS DEFECTIVE. THIS ISSUE HAS COST ME ALMOST $2,500.00 IN TOWING AND LABOR BACK AND FORWARD AND STILL MY TRANSMISSION IS NOT WORKING. I AM NOW IN THE PROCESS OF BUYING A TRANSMISSION. THIS IS NOT FAIR HOW A COMPANY THAT KNOWS THAT PRODUCT IS DEFECTIVE WAIT UNTIL THE WARRANTY IS OVER AND DON'T FIX THE PROBLEM PRIOR. THEY ARE KNOW FOR THEIR CTV PROBLEMS WITH TRANSMISSION AND WITH THE RADIATOR COIL BEING DEFECTIVE. THIS COMPANIES OPERATING IN OUR COUNTRY ARE ABUSING THE CONSUMERS WITH NO BODY DOING JUSTICE. I HOPE THIS HOPE SOMEONE OR AT LEAST BRING AWARENESS TO OUR GOVERNMENT AGENCIES THAT PROTECT CONSUMERS. THANKS

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. NISSAN DIAGNOSED ENGINE COOLANT IN TRANSMISSION FLUID. NEED NEW TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEATBELT DOES NOT RETRACT CORRECTLY. I CONTACTED A LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND NISSAN AMERICA. THE DEALERSHIP GAVE ME AN ESTIMATE, WITHOUT SEEING THE TRUCK OF $100-$1500.00 TO REPLACE THE CURRENT SEATBELT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE FOR THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE, NOT BASED ON THE MILAGE/AGE OF THE VEHICLE. I WILL CERTAINLY LET ALL KNOW ABOUT NISAAN'S LACK OF CONCERN FOR THE GENERAL PUBLIC WHICH CHOOSE TO PURCHASE THEIR CARS, NEW OR USED! NOT GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE. I HAD A HONDA ACCORD THAT WAS 20+ YEARS OLD AND HONDA REPLACED THE SEATBELT AND ASSEMBLY FOR FREE, BEING IT WAS A SAFETY ISSUE!!!!!

WHILE TURNING TO GO UP HILL TOWARD HOME VEHICLE SUDDENLY DIED. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME SO I PUT IT IN PARK AND AFTER HESITATION IT FINALLY RESTARTED. I TOOK TO DEALER,WALLACE NISSAN IN KINGSPORT, TENNESSEE AND THEY RAN CES CODE. THEY SUGGESTED HAVING RIGHT SIDE CAM SENSOR REPLACEMENT AND FLOAT IN GAS TANK WHERE IT HAS QUIT READING AT A COST OF APPROXIMATELY 700 TO 800 DOLLARS. CURRENTLY HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. PS : I PERFORMED THE BYPASS TO AVOID CROSS CONTAMINATION OF RADIATOR FLUID AND TRANSMISSION FLUID MYSELF AFTER READING OF ALL OF THE PROBLEMS THAT HAS CAUSED.THE TRANSMISSION HAS A SEPARATE COOLER; I DON'T KNOW WHY IT GOES THROUGH THE BOTTOM OF THE RADIATOR ANYWAY. CURRENT MILAGE IS 49,899 WHICH IS LOW MILES FOR A 2006 MODEL. A PERSON SHOULD NOT HAVE TO SURF THE WEB TO KNOW WHAT THEIR VEHICLE NEEDS WHEN NISSAN SHOULD BE NOTIFYING THEM. PEOPLE ARE PAYING FOR UNNECESSARY REPAIRS WHERE A SIMPLE RECALL COULD HAVE SAVED THEM THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS AND MORE IMPORTANTLY SOMEONE'S LIFE FROM AN ACCIDENT.

IN EARLY 2018 THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT BEGAN FLASHING. I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE IN TO MY CERTIFIED MECHANIC TO IDENTIFY THE ISSUE. THE ISSUE WAS DETERMINED TO BE THE RIGHT FRONT SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY. I AM TOLD THE ISSUE WITH THE SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY IMPACTS THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAG AND THE MECHANISM THAT PREVENTS THE SEAT BELT FROM SPOOLING OUT WHEN AN ACCIDENT OCCURS. I HAD THE PART REPLACED ON MAY 29, 2018 BY MY CERTIFIED MECHANIC WITH A NISSAN OEM PART THAT CAME FROM LARRY MILLER NISSAN IN DENVER COLORADO. THE ISSUE WAS FIXED AND THE WARNING LIGHT WENT AWAY. SLIGHTLY MORE THAN 1 YEAR AFTER THE REPAIR, THE NEW PART FAILED. NISSAN WILL NOT STAND BY THEIR PART, THEY ONLY WARRANT IT FOR 1 YEAR, BUT I AM MORE CONCERNED THAT THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE DESIGN OR MANUFACTURING OF THE PART. A SAFETY PART LIKE THIS SHOULD NOT FAIL, LET ALONE TWICE.

LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING, HAD IT CHECKED BY TRANSMISSION SHOP AND TURNS OUT THERE IS A DEFECT IN OEM RADIATOR CAUSES CONTAMINATION OF TRANSMISSION FLUID AND ENGINE COOLANT. WAS REQUIRED TO SPEND OVER $6000 OUT OF POCKET TO FIX.

I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK FROM A DEALERSHIP, WITH 118,500 MILES IN, AND I ONLY DROVE IT 1,500 MILES AND TRANSMISSION BROKE, I NEVER THE WARRANTY FOR THE TRUCK, AND THE REPAIRS CAME OUT $4,237 DOLLARS WHAT CAN I DO IN THIS SITUATION. PLEASE LET ME KNOW. THANKS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE RPMS INCREASED TO 4,000. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PLACED INTO REVERSE, THE GEAR WENT INTO NEUTRAL. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS SHIFTED INTO DRIVE, IT WENT INTO LOW GEAR WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE RADIATOR FLUID LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION, AND THE RADIATOR AND THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 129,000.

2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. CONSUMER WRITES SEEKING REIMBURSEMENT FOR VEHICLES REPAIRS. *LD *JS

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND ALMOST CRASHED. MECHANIC SAID THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION FAILED. RADIATOR FLUID MIXED INTO TRANSMISSION FLUID. VEHICLE ONLY HAS 85000 MILES ON IT.

TCM FOR NISSAN TRUCK FRONTIER 2006 V6 LE IS MALFUNCTIONING. WHEN I AM DRIVING IT JUMPS TO ANOTHER GEAR LIKE 3 GEAR. IT SHIFTS BY ITSELF AS IF I WAS CARRYING A LARGE LOAD. IT LOSSES POWER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WITH NOSINGS.

VEHICLE WILL NOT CHANGE GEARS AND IS SLUGGISH. THE DISPLAY ON THE SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT SHOW THE POSITION OF THE TRANSMISSION. I HAVE SPENT OVER 600 DOLLARS TO FIND OUT THAT THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE IS BAD AND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL TO FIX COOLENT LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. MY VEHICLE IS STILL BROKEN BECAUSE OF THE PART COST 1100 USD AND THE REPAIR. TOTAL BILL IS 1600 USD. THIS WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE FIXED WITHOUT ME PAYING A DIME. MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. NOW IT WON'T EVEN GET UP TO SPEED THE TRANSMISSION SOUNDS AS IF IT IS STUCK IN A GEAR. VERY ERRATIC. MY CRUISE CONTROL ALSO JUST BLINKS AND WHEN THE MECHANIC TESTED THE CODES IT GAVE A NETWORK FAILURE CODE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START, WHEN ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE. THERE WAS NO WARNING INDICATOR LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT NOTICED AN ABNORMAL FUEL ODOR INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE ODOR ATTACHED ITSELF TO THE CONTACT'S CLOTHES. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 73,727.

ON A CITY STREET, WENT TO PARALELL PARK AND NOTICED THE STEERING WAS STIFF. AFTER PULLING OUT, NOTICED STEERING HAD STAYED STIFF AND WAS HARD ENOUGH TO TURN THAT IT FELT LIKE THE STEERING HAD LOCKED. AFTER TAKING THE VEHICLE TO BE LOOKED AT BY A MECHANIC, HE INFORMED US THAT IT WAS A STEERING COLUMN SHAFT FAILURE AND IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL OF NISSAN, AND FOR US TO CHECK TO SEE IF THIS WAS UNDER RECALL AS IT SHOULD BE.

THE PROBLEM STEMS FROM AN ACKNOWLEDGED DEFECT INSIDE THE RADIATOR ASSEMBLY. THE METAL TUBES THAT SEPARATE ENGINE COOLANT FROM TRANSMISSION FLUID CRACK OVER TIME. COOLANT AND TRANSMISSION FLUID MIXES THROUGH THESE CRACKS AND SUBSEQUENTLY CAUSE TRANSMISSION FAILURE. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION WHEN THIS HAPPENED. VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT BUT WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN VEHICLE HAD NO POWER WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALER WHERE THEY TOLD ME THE PROBLEM WAS WITH THE TRANSMISSION AS DESCRIBED ABOVE. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN DOCUMENT MANY TIMES BEFORE AND NISSAN IS AWARE OF IT. A MANUFACTURE RECALL HAS NEVER BEEN ISSUED. REPAIRS HAVE BEEN ALLOWED UNDER WARRANTY BUT THIS VEHICLE IS PAST THE TIME LIMIT AND NUMBER OF MILES DEFINED IN THE WARRANTY AND NISSAN WILL NOT TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS DEFECT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LEGEND NISSAN (268 JERICHO TURNPIKE, SYOSSET, NY 11791, (516) 496-8181) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRONT CRASH ZONE SENSOR WAS DEGRADED AND NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE SAME FAILURE AS LISTED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 08V690000 (AIR BAGS). THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 182,376.

THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,500. *TT CONSUMER STATED GAS GAUGE QUIT READING; LIGHT IS ON SHOWING TO BE EMPTY, DRIVERS SIDE GLASS WON'T ROLL UP AND DOWN. CONSUMER CONTACTED THE DEALER.*JB

THE 2 COMPLAINTS I HAVE REGARDING MY FRONTIER HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THE SAME YR THAT MY FRONTIER IS, BUT I DIDN'T RECEIVE A RECALL NOTICE FOR EITHER ONE. FIRST IS THE FUEL PUMP SENDING UNIT, WHICH SHOWS YOU HOW MUCH GAS YOU HAVE IN THE VEHICLE. MY FUEL GAUGE WILL SHOW THAT I HAVE NO GAS EVEN AFTER I FILL UP MY TANK, BUT THEN I CAN PARK FOR A FEW MINUTES & THEN THE GAUGE WILL SHOW THAT I HAVE A FULL TANK OF GAS. I RAN A DIAGNOSTIC TEST, & THE RESULTS DISPLAYED A CODE THAT MEANT IT NEEDED A NEW SENDING UNIT. HOWEVER, WITH THIS PARTICULAR MODEL, I CANNOT JUST GET THE SENDING UNIT, BECAUSE IT ONLY COMES IN ONE WHOLE PIECE, MEANING THAT THE MECHANICS WILL HAVE TO EMPTY THE GAS TANK & DROP THE TANK, WHICH IS MUCH MORE WORK. THEREFORE, THIS REPAIR WILL COST ME $900.00. THE SECOND COMPLAINT & THE MOST OUTRAGEOUS & DISAPPOINTING ONE IS REGARDING MY TRANSMISSION & RADIATOR. RECENTLY I TOOK MY FRONTIER INTO THE SHOP TO HABE THE TRANSMISSION FLUID CHECKED & CHANGED IF IT NEEDED TO BE. HOWEVER, THE MECHANIC CALLED & INFORMED THAT AFTER HOOKING MY TRUCK UP TO A TRANSMISSION TESTER, THE RESULTS INDICATED THAT I HAD PRESSURE PROBLEMS DUE TO THE RADIATOR COOLANT LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION FLUID, & CAUSING A CHEMICAL REACTION THAT WILL DESTROY THE CLUTCHES INSIDE THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. KEEP IN MIND THAT I ONLY HAVE 80,000 MILES ON MY 2006 FRONTIER, & NEEDING A NEW TRANSMISSION ALREADY WITH THIS LOW MILEAGE IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS & UNCALLED FOR. ESPECIALLY SINCE NISSAN HAS DONE A RECALL FOR THE SAME YR & MODEL OF MY TRUCK, & FOR THE EXACT THING THAT MY FAULTY RADIATOR WAS DOING. FOR SOME UNKNOWN REASON, MY RADIATOR MODEL WAS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST FOR EITHER ONE OF THE RECALLS & IT SHOULD'VE BEEN, BECAUSE THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF CONSUMERS THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM THAT I HAVE HAD, & THAT'S WITH BOTH OF MY COMPLAINTS. SO I JUST SPENT $4,000.00 FOR A REBUILT TRANSMISSION.

MY AIR BAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON AND TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP. WAS TOLD THE FRONT IMPACT SENSOR WAS THE ISSUE, WHICH WAS COVERED UNDER A NISSAN CAMPAIGN FOR KNOWN ISSUES. TRUCK WAS INITIALLY PURCHASED IN NY AND DRIVEN ON SALTED ROADS, WHICH WAS THE CAUSE FOR SENSOR FAILURE, HOWEVER I LIVED IN FL AT THE TIME THE RECALL WAS ISSUED. THE CAMPAIGN WAS 08V690000.

RADIATOR SYSTEM

COOLANT LEAKED FROM RADIATOR INTO TRANSMISSION THROUGH FAULTY COOLING LINES.. RESULT WAS SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER WHILE ACCELERATING ONTO HIGHWAY. VERY COSTLY REPAIR BILL ($4600.00). HAD TO REPLACE RADIATOR AND DO A COMPLETE REBUILD OF TRANSMISSION.

FUEL SENDER UNIT FAILED AND CAN NO LONGER ESTABLISH AMOUNT OF FUEL AND NOW AT RISK BEING STRANDED. APPARENTLY THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH FRONTIERS

VEHICLE DIES WHILE DRIVING LOOSES ALL ELECTRICAL , SITS FOR FEW HOURS WORKS NORMAL

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE RADIATOR CRACKED, WHICH CAUSED TRANSMISSION FLUID AND RADIATOR COOLANT TO MIX TOGETHER. THE FAILURE EVENTUALLY CAUSED THE TRANSMISSION TO FAIL. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO BANISTER NISSAN OF NORFOLK (1250 N MILITARY HWY, NORFOLK, VA 23502) WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALLS AND THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 99,967.

ON 11/10/2018 WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WITH NO WARNING LIGHT MY 2006 NISSAN STARTS TO LOSE POWER!!! I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE FREEWAY AND PULL INTO A GAS STATION TO CALL AAA TO TOW IT TO A MECHANIC. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THE TRANSMISSION HAS COOLENT IN IT AND THE TRANSMISSION WILL NEED I BE REBUILT OR REPLACED WITH A REBUILT TRANSMISSION. HE SAID THERE WAS A CRACK IN THE COOLENT HOSE THAT WAS A MANUFACTURE DEFECT. I NEVER GOT ANY WARNING LIGHT UNTIL AFTER THE TRANSMISSION FAILED.

MY TRANSMISSION WENT OUT. THE MECHANIC SAID THE RADIATOR LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION. THIS REPAIR COSTED ME $4000, NEW TRANSMISSION AND NEW RADIATOR. WAS CONSIDERING BUYING ANOTHER NISSAN BUT WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER ONE. I WILL BE PROVIDING THE BILL AS SOON AS I CAN SCAN THEM.

I WENT TO THE GAS STATION AND FILLED THE TANK UP ALL THE WAY. BEFORE I FILLED IT THE FUEL GAUGE READ SLIGHTLY ABOVE A QUARTER TANK. AFTER I FILLED IT I TURNED THE CAR ON AND THE NEEDLE WAS STUCK AT SLIGHTLY ABOVE A QUARTER TANK. SO I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND TURNED IT BACK ON. THE FUEL GAUGE THEN DROPPED TO THE BOTTOM AND TRIGGERED THE LOW FUEL INDICATOR ALONG WITH THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON INDICATOR. OVER 600 COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN ISSUED AND THIS HAPPENS ON A LOT OF NISSAN CARS SUCH AS THE FRONTIER, XTERRA, PATHFINDER, ETC. THIS IS A ENGINEERING DESIGN ISSUE NOT A MAINTENANCE PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IDLING, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE MOVED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 128,000.

APPARENTLY COOLANT MIXED INTO MY TRANSMISSION AND IT IS NOW SLIPPING. AND REPAIR WILL COST $4500.00 OR MORE. I HEARD A SLIGHT CLUNK WHEN DRIVING THEN IT STARTED TO SLIP.

DUE TO DESIGN FLAW RESULTING IN MIXING OF TRANSMISSION FLUID AND RADIATOR FLUID, TRANSMISSION WAS DESTROYED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH WHENEVER FAILURE OCCURRED. I HAVE SINCE BEEN MADE AWARE THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH MANY NISSAN VEHICLES WITH SIMILAR SYSTEMS. DOCUMENTATION OF TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT IS NOT CURRENTLY IN MY POSSESSION, HOWEVER IF NECESSARY, ALL DOCUMENTATION CAN BE OBTAINED FROM TRANSMISSION REPAIR FACILITY.

CROSS CONTAMINATION COOLANT AND TRANSMISSION . VEHICLE WILL NOT START. WAS PERFECTLY FINE ONE MONTH AGO WHEN TOOK IT TO NISSAN FOR SERVICE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE SLOWLY REDUCED SPEED AND CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP SEVERAL TIMES WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALER (ROBERT WOODALL NISSAN, 132 UNION ST, DANVILLE, VA 24540, (434) 797-1411) REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHO ONLY INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE IF THE FAILURE WAS ELECTRICAL, ENGINE, OR POWER TRAIN RELATED. THE CONTACT WAS UNCERTAIN IF THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 1V0517000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 108,172.

DEAR NISSAN SERVICE: I AM THE OWNER OF A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER SE WITH APPROXIMATELY 124,000 MILES. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED USED FROM NALLEY NISSAN IN 2012 WITH APPROXIMATELY 89,000 MILES ON IT. THE HISTORY OF THE VEHICLE WAS METICULOUS, MINUS THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER HAD BEEN REPLACED BY NALLEY NISSAN. IN FEBRUARY 04, 2016 I HAD THE LEFT CATALYTIC CONVERTER REPLACED AT NALLEY NISSAN. THE RIGHT CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS REPLACED PRIOR TO PURCHASING THE VEHICLE. MY VEHICLE HAS ALREADY HAD BOTH CATALYTIC CONVERTERS REPLACED. ON MAY 11, 2018 I WAS ADVISED THAT I NEED BOTH OF MY CATALYTIC CONVERTERS REPLACED AGAIN AT STONE MOUNTAIN NISSAN. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAD CAME ON AGAIINHOWEVER, BOTH OF THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS HAVE BEEN PREVIOUSLY REPLACED. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THIS IN NOT AN INEXPENSIVE REPAIR. I ONLY USED PREMIUM GASOLINE IN MY VEHICLE TO ENSURE ITS PROPER PERFORMANCE AND GET MY VEHICLE REGULARLY MAINTAINED AN NISSAN DEALERSHIPS. IT IS RATHER OBVIOUS THAT THERE IS SOMETHING ELSE GOING ON WITH MY VEHICLE THAT IS DEFECTIVE IN NATURE. I HAD READ THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEMS WITH NISSAN FRONTIERS AND NISSAN ALTIMAS. I DO NOT WANT TO GET THE CATALYTIC CONVERTS REPLACED AT ESTIMATED $2200 AND HAVE THIS PROBLEM RESURFACE AGAIN. IN GEORGIA, WE HAVE ANNUAL EMISSIONS TESTS AND MY VEHICLE WILL NOT PASS AN EMISSIONS TEST. JUST RECENTLY, I HAD TAKEN MY VEHICLE ON A SHORT TRIP TO NORTH GEORGIA. THE ENGINE STALLED AND COMPLETELY LOST POWER. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE HOME HOWEVER, IT IS RATHER EVIDENT THAT SOMETHING IS MECHANICALLY WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE AND JUST SIMPLY REPLACING THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS WILL NOT ENSURE THAT THIS PROBLEM WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. IS THERE ANY GUIDANCE THAT YOU CAN OFFER? REGARDS [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

HIGHWAY DRIVING AT 55 MPH THE ENGINE STALLED AND STOPPED IN MID-TRAFFIC RESULTING MULTIPLE SYSTEM LOSS; INCLUDING POWER STEERING. WARNING LIGHTS THAT ILLUMINATED WERE SERVICE ENGINE SOON AND, SLIP. RESEARCHING THIS COMBINATION WITH THE ASSOCIATED ENGINE FAILURE SHOWS A MINIMUM FAILURE OF THE CAM SHAFT SENSOR AND POSSIBLE INTERFERENCE WITH ENGINE COOLING. ADDITIONAL RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THIS A RECALL ISSUE FOR FRONTIERS. BUT, WHEN I ENTERED MY VIN INTO YOUR SYSTEM TO CHECK RECALLS, THE REPONSE IS THAT THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR THIS VEHICLE. THAT SEEMS IN CONFLICT WITH WHAT IS BEING SAID ABOUT THERE BEING A RECALL AND THE OBVIOUS EXTREME DANGER OF ENGINE AND SYSTEM FAILURES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS

I OWN A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER AND AFTER DOING RESEARCH I FOUND THE ARTICLE ABOUT SEVERAL RECALLS FOR 2005-2010 MODELS. THE PERSONS INVOLVED REPORTED THE SAME SYMPTOMS WE ARE EXPERIENCING SUCH AS TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKING INTO THE RADIATOR COOLANT SPONTANEOUSLY AND NOW TRANSMISSION FAILURE WHILE TOWING A POP UP CAMPER THAT IS 3200 LBS WHICH IS WITHIN THE TOWING RANGE REPORTEDLYFOR THIS VEHICLE. I GOT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AND THEY REPORT THEY WILL ONLY COVER UP TO $1900 AND MY MECHANIC STATES THE TOTAL COSTS ARE $4800. I AM VERY CONCERNED MY VEHICLE IS DOING THE SAME. CAN ANYONE HELP US?

WHEN FUEL TANK IS FULL, GAUGE DROPS TO EMPTY UNTIL YOU DRIVE 75-150 MILES, THEN THE NEEDLE REGISTERS NORMAL FOR THE PAST YEAR AND DEALER DIDN'T FIND THE ISSUE. NOW ENGINE LIGHT REGISTERS AND INSPECTION STICKER IS BEING REFUSED.

I JUST HAD TO REPLACE MY TRANSMISSION DUE TO A RECALL. OIL AND WATER IN THE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR. I DID NOT OWN THE TRUCK AT THE TIME OF THE RECALL.. HOW CAN I GET REIMBURSED ??? THIS IS TERRIBLE!!

DRIVERS SEAT BELT HAS BEEN LOOSE. IF THE DRIVER IS IN A CAR CRASH THE SEAT BELT WILL NOT PROTECT DRIVER BECAUSE IT DOES NOT LOCK.

TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS WHEN SHIFTING FROM DRIVE TO OVERDRIVE. AROUND 40-45MPH SHUDDER CAN BE FELT FROM TRANSMISSION VIBRATION. HAD THE DRIVESHAFT REPLACED ($1400) BUT THE SHUDDER IS STILL PRESENT.

WHILE DRIVING TRUCK ON HIGHWAY IT OCCASIONALLY FELT LIKE I WAS DRIVING OVER RUMBLE STRIPS.

THE EVIDENCE OF ENGINE AND POWER TRANSFER EVIDENTLY PROGRESSED OVER OF DAYS AND REGRESSED WITHIN A MATTER OF HOURS, THEN MINUTES TO THE POINT WHERE ENGINE WOULD BARELY START AND OBVIOUSLY BARELY PROPEL THE TRUCK OVER 10 MPH W/ENGINE DYING OUT REGARDLESS OF THROTTLE OR AUTOMATIC SHIFT POSITION. I LIMPED THE VEHICLE TO THE NEAREST RESPECTED AND QUALIFIED TECH BOB WELLS -TOTAL CAR CARE. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME NISSAN'S LACK OF "DUE DILIGENCE" LEFT CUSTOMER DOWN, ALL WITHIN A YEAR OR SO. A FRUSTRATING,TIME CONSUMING,AND COSTLY EXPERIENCE.

I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WHERE MY TRUCK WAS STRUCK FROM BEHIND AND I HIT A MEDIAN GUARDRAIL AT A SPEED OF ABOUT 60 MILES AN HOUR. MY AIR BAG PARTIALLY DEPLOYED. IT NEVER HIT ME AND ONLY INFLATED PARTIALLY AND BURNED MY LEFT ARM. MY SEATBELT SAVED MY LIFE.

HAVING MAJOR ISSUES. NOTICED A RECALL BUT IT WAS ALREADY SETTLED. WHAT CAN I DO? RADIATOR AFFECTING THE TRANSMISSION.

I HAVE A APPARENTLY COMMON PROBLEM WHICH IS RADIATOR TRANSMISSION CROSS CONTAMINATION APPARENTLY WITH NISSAN FRONTIERS AND XTERRAS FROM ABOUT 05-2010 AND THE PROBLEM IS THEY USED A RADIATOR WITH A BUILT IN TRANSMISSION COOLER BUT THERE'S A SEAL OR AREA WHERE IT FAILS AND THE TWO FLUIDS MIX RESULTING IN A STRAWBERRY MILKSHAKE APPEARANCE AND WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE TRANSMISSION WILL LIKELY FAIL AT ANY POINT I'VE PERSONALLY HAD PROBLEMS THAT WERE INTERMITTENT OVER THE LAST FEW WEEKS WITH TROUBLE SHIFTING AND A SHUDDERING/RUMBLING WHICH OCCURS WHILE DRIVING IN ALL WEATHER AND ROAD CONDITIONS PLUS IS VERY NOTICEABLE WHILE GOING FROM A STOP TO START MOVING TURNS OUT TO BE RADIATOR FLUID LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION MY TRUCK HAS 99,000 MILES ON IT AND HAS STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS JUST NOW WHICH ACCORDING TO OTHER ACCOUNTS ON MULTIPLE FORUMS ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM IS A LITTLE LATER THAN MOST BUT I HAVE A SHORT COMMUTE TO WORK AND HAVE ANOTHER CAR I USE. SO PERHAPS IT WAS THAT. BUT THE ISSUES ARE GETTING WORSE AND IT'S A SHAME THAT THE COMPANY KNEW OF THE PROBLEM AND DID NOTHING TO REMEDY IT. ESPECIALLY AS IT AFFECTS MANY YEARS AND MODELS OF CARS

I DON'T HAVE THESE MONEY, LAST YEAR HAD PROBLEM WITH NISSAN I WENT BOUGHT NEW RAV4 START TELLING MY FRIEND NOW STAY OUT OF NISSAN

TRANSMISSION TCM FRIED BY COOLANT

RADIATOR/COOLANT HAS MIXED INTO TRANSMISSION FLUID CAUSING TRANSMISSION FAILURE.

THE FUEL SENSOR IS NOT RELAYING ACCURATE FUEL LEVELS. WHEN VEHICLE IS NEAR EMPTY TANK THE TANK FUEL GAUGE WILL OFTEN STILL READ 1/4 TANK LEVEL. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINS ON WHICH CODES ALERTED ON DIAGNOSTICS RELAY BACK TO THE SENSOR ISSUE. THE PROBLEMS IS NOW WORSENING WHERE EVEN AT FULL TANK THE GAUGE WILL SOMETIMES INDICATE EMPTY WITH FUEL ALERT LIGHT ON AND TANK JUST TOPPED OFF. THE IMPROPER FUEL INDICATION HAS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO RUN OUT OF FUEL SEVERAL MILES FROM A GAS STATION WHILE STILL SHOWING 1/4 TANK LEVEL. THIS CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS AS BEING STRANDED IN NC IN PEAK OF SUMMER TEMPS OUTSIDE CAN REACH OVER 100 DEGREES. FURTHERMORE STALLING OUT FOR LACK OF FUEL IN BUSY CITY TRAFFIC OR SHARP TURN ON HIGHWAY AT 60-70 MHP CAN LEAD TO A VERY DANGEROUS ACCIDENT.

2006 NISSAN FRONTIER - A DEFECT THAT PERMITS CROSS-CONTAMINATION OF ENGINE COOLANT AND TRANSMISSION FLUID, ULTIMATELY CAUSING THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION TO NEED SUBSTANTIAL REPAIRS OR FAIL ENTIRELY. THE TRUCK WAS IN MOTION ON A HIGHWAY. WHEN ACCELERATING THE TRANSMISSION DID NOT DOWNSHIFT - IT FELT AS IF THE TRANSMISSION WENT INTO NEUTRAL.

BOUGHT A 2006 FRONTIER A YEAR AGO, I WAS UNAWARE OF THE MAJOR DEFECT THEY WERE HAVING WITH THE RADIATOR CRACKING AND MIXING COOLANT WITH TRANNY FLUID. NOW MY TRANSMISSION IS SHOT WITH NO WARNING AND I'LL BE OUT 4/5K !! IT WENT OUT AS I WAS TRYING TO TURN LEFT AND ON COMING TRAFFIC WAS COMING AT ME. I COULD NOT ACCELERATE AS OBVIOUSLY WITHOUT A TRANSMISSION YOUR CAR WONT GO INTO GEAR, JUST A SITTING DUCK WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC BARING DOWN. THANKFULLY THE PEOPLE SPEEDING TOWARDS ME SEEN ME BEFORE I WAS SMASHED INTO AND POSSIBLY KILLED.

TRANSMISSION PROBLEM COOLANT MIX WITH OIL

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE WITHOUT WARNING. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN AND THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO DRIVE BACK HOME. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED OR MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE RADIATOR FLUID SPILLED INTO THE TRANSMISSION. THE RADIATOR WAS REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE RADIATOR FLUID CONTAMINATED THE TRANSMISSION AND FLUID, WHICH CAUSED THE TRANSMISSION TO FAIL. THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL AND DID NOT OFFER ANY ADDITIONAL ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 89,000.

TRANSMISSION FAILURE CAUSED BY LEAKING FLUID COOLER IN RADIATOR AT 114000 MILES. 8000 DOLLAR REPAIR ESTIMATE IS OVER TRADE IN COST OF VEHICLE. THIS CAUSED TRUCK TO STALL ON FREEWAY, ENDANGERING OCCUPANTS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE GEAR FAILED TO WORK WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO PARK THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE LOCAL DEALER (YOUNKER NISSAN LOCATED AT 3401 E VALLEY RD, RENTON, WA 98057; (425) 251-8100) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION AND THE RADIATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 132,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD DISPLAY INACCURATE READINGS INDICATING MORE OR LESS FUEL WAS AVAILABLE THEN WHAT WAS ACTUALLY IN THE FUEL TANK. IN ADDITION, WHILE REFUELING THE FUEL WOULD SOMETIMES BACK OUT OF THE FILLER HOLE WHEN STREAMING FUEL AT A STEADY PACE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 10V075000 (FUEL SYSTEM). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD EXPERIENCED THE SAME FAILURE LISTED IN THE RECALL. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE RPMS ELEVATED TO RED AND THE SPEED DECREASED. THE ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE COOLANT LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND THE TRANSMISSION, RADIATOR HOSES, AND RADIATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 79,000.

WHEN I DRIVE ON HIGHWAY, MY 2006 FRONTIER IS SHAKING OR VIBRATING EVEN IF I COMPLETELY STOP, I HAVE 118,000 MILEAGE. I WENT TO MY DEALER AND CHANGE THE SPARK PLUG, CHANGE THE VALVE GASKET COVER, AND DO OIL CHANGE BECAUSE THE SERVICE ENGINE WENT ON. I DID FINISHED THE SERVICE, MY SERVICE ADVISOR CALLED MY PHONE AND HE SAID THAT MY TRUCK IS READY FOR PICK UP. I ARRIVED, WENT TO THE CASHIER I PAID $748 FOR THE SERVICE, GOT MY TRUCK. THEN I DROVE AFTER A MUNITE THE SHAKING ISSUE IS STILL THIER SO I CALLED MY ADVISOR, HE ADVISED ME TO BRING BACK AND DO DIAGNOS TEST FOR $150. AFTER THE DIAGNOSE TEST THEY SAID THEY FOUND MISSING ACCELARATION AND NEED TO REPLACE 4 IGNITION COIL FOR $1114.00 PARTS/LABOR. UNFORTUNATELY I PAID $749 FOR THE RECENT REPAIR, SO, BECAUSE I SPENT A LOT OF MONEY FOR THE FIRST REPAIR, HE ONLY WANT ME DO 2 IGNITION COIL REPLACED FOR $775 PARTS/LABOR

FUEL GAUGE IS FAULTY AND TRIGGERS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, CAUSING IT TO FAIL INSPECTION AND GREATLY INCREASING THE LIKELIHOOD OF THE TRUCK RUNNING OUT OF GAS. THE ISSUE MATCHES THE DESCRIPTION OF AN NHSA RECALL ON 2006 NISSAN FRONTIERS. HOWEVER, NISSAN SAYS NO SUCH RECALL APPLIES TO MY VEHICLE. CAMPAIGN # - PC042; NHTSA # 10V-075.

IN FEBRUARY, 2017, THE RADIATOR ON MY NISSAN FRONTIER FAILED. DUE TO A DESIGN FLAW, COOLANT GOT INTO THE TRANSMISSION WHICH RUINED IT. THE RADIATOR HAD TO BE REPLACED AND THE TRANSMISSION REBUILT AT CONSIDERABLE EXPENSE (APPROXIMATELY $6K). THE RADIATOR FAILURE OCCURRED ON THE ROAD AND I WAS ABLE TO LIMP TO A SERVICE STATION. FORTUNATELY, THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE DID NOT OCCUR ON THE ROAD BUT COULD HAVE CAUSING A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION.

SECONDARY TIMING CHAIN TENSIONER SHOES WORE COMPLETELY DOWN TO METAL

ANTIFREEZE IN THE TRANSMISSION AND TRANSMISSION FLUID IN THE RADIATOR

NISSAN TIMING CHAIN NEEDS REPLACED, NISSAN HAS NOT PUBLISHED TSB'S ABOUT THE ISSUE. COSTS ARE 4000 BY NISSAN. BOUGHT TRUCK USED. IF NISSAN HAS NOT PUBLISHED ANY TSBS, WHY SHOULD A CONSUMER HAVE TO SHELL OUT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO FIX THE ISSUE.

MY TRANSMISSION BEGAN SLIPPING SLIGHTLY AND WHEN THE FLUID WAS CHECKED, WE NOTICED THAT THERE WAS RADIATOR FLUID GETTING SUCKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION. SHORTLY AFTER THAT WAS NOTICED, THE TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY STOPPED SHIFTING AND LEFT ME STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. IT HAS 100,000+ MILES ON IT SO THE WARRANTY WILL DO NOTHING FOR ME AND NEITHER WILL THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT THAT I'VE FOUND SOME INFORMATION ON THEREFORE, IT HAS BEEN SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY FOR OVER A YEAR BECAUSE I CANNOT AFFORD TO HAVE IT FIXED AT THIS POINT.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER THE TRUCK WOULD NOT RESPOND TO THE ACCELERATOR BEING PRESSED AND THEN BEGAN JERKING. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND IT HAS BEEN DOING THIS FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND HE SAID IS WAS THE RADIATOR LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND DESTROYING THE TRANSMISSION WHICH NISSAN KNOWS ABOUT THE DEFCT BUT HAS CHOSEN NOT TO FIX. IF I WAS TRAVELING AT A HIGH SPEED ON THE INTERSTATE AND THE TRUCK DID NOT RESPOND TO THE ACCELERATOR AND STARTED TO JERK A COLLISION WOULD HAVE HAPPENED. THE FACT THAT NISSAN KNEW ABOUT THIS DEFECT AND CHOSE NOT TO INFORM ME OF THE PROBLEM CAUSES CONSIDERABLE ALARM.

SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, HAD A NISSAN DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSE AS A "FUEL LEVEL SENSOR " IS BAD. THAT THEY STATED IT'S NOT COVER UNDER ANY WARRANTIES, WHICH THIS PART HAS BEEN RECALLED IN THE PAST. NISSAN SHOULD EXTEND THE RECALLS TO INCORPORATE MORE VEHICLES WITH THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE.

THE TRUCK HESITATED TO MOVE AT A STOP. (IT DRAGGED REALLY HARD AND IT WAS SLOW) PER MY SON DESCRIBED, NOT SURE IF HE WAS ON THE FREEWAY OR THE STREET WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO MY MECHANIC. ON TUE OCTOBER 25, 2016. AFTER DIAGNOSED, HE TOLD ME THE TRANSMISSION WAS FAILED. IT NEEDS TO BE REBUILT OR BUY A NEW ONE. THE COST FOR A REBUILT ONE IS $2,800 AND A NEW ONE FROM NISSAN DEALERSHIP IS $5,000. I DECIDED TO GO FOR A REBUILT ONE. THIS HAPPENED ON TUE OCTOBER 25, 2016. THIS TRUCK I BOUGHT USED IN MARCH 2016 AT 114,674 MILES FOR $10,000. I WENT ON LINE TO SEARCH FOR SOMETHING RELATED TO NISSAN FRONTIER 2006 TRANSMISSION AND I FOUND OUT THE WEBSITE RELATING TO THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. I DID CONTACT NISSAN OF NORTH AMERICA ON WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 26, 2016 AND THEY TOLD ME TO SEND IN THE INVOICE AFTER THE REPAIR FOR REIMBURSEMENT. UNTIL THE REIMBURSEMENT TAKES PLACE, I AM STILL NERVOUSLY WAITING.

TRANSMISSION IS BINDING DUE TO COOLANT LEAKING INTO TRANSMISSION. FLUID IS BUBBLED AND LOOKS LIKE POACHED EGG CAUSING OVERHEATING. TRANSMISSION COLOR IS NOT CORRECT, SAME PROBLEM AS UNDER INVESTIGATION

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. WHILE DRIVING UP AN INCLINE AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE JERKED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE RADIATOR WAS LEAKING COOLANT INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND THE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE RADIATOR WAS REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE IGNITION WAS TURNED TO THE ON POSITION, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE RADIATOR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 133,000.

DRIVING ON A TRIP TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING AND JERKING. HAD TO DRIVE SLOW IN THIRD GEAR WITH IT STILL SLIPPING. RADIATOR FLUID WAS FOAMY. TRUCK STILL IN DRIVEWAY. FOUR TO FIVE HOUR TRIP ON HIGHWAY WITH SOME HILLS DIDN'T THINK I WOULD MAKE IT HOME. A FEW YEARS BACK WE RECEIVED A SERVICE NOTICE OF FAILED RADIATOR. TOOK TRUCK TO NISSAN AND THEY WOULD NOT REPLACE UNLESS THERE WAS A PROBLEM. *TR

EVEN THOUGH MY FUEL TANK IS FULL MY GAGE SHOWS IT IS EMPTY. THIS PROBLEM STARETED LONG TIME AGO AND I BEEN TOLD SOME NISSAN FRONTIERS ARE COVERED BY FACTORY FOR FAULTY FUEL SENSOR AND SOME AREN'T. PLEASE ADVISE WHAT IS THE BEST OF GOING FORWARD. THANKS ALLEN

THERE IS A RECALL ON THE 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER COOLIN LEAKING IN TO TRANSMISSION

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS FLUID CONTAMINATION IN THE TRANSMISSION. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 105,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. WHILE THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, A SECOND VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS PUSHED INTO A THIRD VEHICLE, WHICH CAUSED SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO THE FRONT END. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE HANDS, BACK, AND HEAD AND WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE HOSPITAL. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 93,000. UPDATED 10/05/16*LJ *TR

MY TRUCK HAS THE PROMBLEM OF CAMPAIGN NUMBER 10VO75000 BUT NISSAN SAID NOT COVER BY MY VIN IS THIS MORE WIDE SPREAD IN OTHER MODLE TRUCK?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF FUEL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE FAILED TO DISPLAY THE CORRECT FUEL LEVEL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V075000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION COOLING LINES WERE COMPROMISED IN THE RADIATOR. COOLANT CONTAMINATED THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID AND RUINED THE TRANSMISSION SPECIFICALLY CAUSING THE RELAY IN THE TRANSMISSION THAT IS CONNECTED TO THE STARTER CIRCUIT TO MALFUNCTION. THERE WAS THEREFORE NO WARNING THAT ANYTHING WAS WRONG UNTIL THE TRUCK SIMPLY WOULD NOT START. THE QUOTE FROM THE DEALERSHIP IS $6,600. THIS IS PARTICULARLY FRUSTRATING BECAUSE 6 MONTHS AGO I PAID FOR A FULL INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE AND THOUGH THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE THAT IS PREVENTABLE, THERE WAS NO MENTION OF IT IN THE REPORT.

I HAVE A CRACKED RADIATOR THAT IS LEAKING COOLANT INTO THE TRANSMISSION OF MY 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. WHEN THE 2 FLUIDS MIX IT CREATES A MIXTURE CALLED TOXIC HELL STEW THAT IS IRREVERSIBLE AND WILL EVENTUALLY KILL MY 5-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION GEARS STOPPED SHIFTING AND THE ENGINE REVVED AND MADE A LOUD NOISE. THE CONTACT DRIVE THE VEHICLE IN FIRST GEAR TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT DID NOT NOTIFY THE MANUFACTURER. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,000.

TRANSMISSION FAILURE: ATF CONTAMINATION. RADIATOR FLUID MIXED INTO TRANSMISSION, THEREFORE RUINING BOTH TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR.

I BOUGHT THE TRUCK FROM A PRIVATE PARTY. AS IT WAS NOT REGISTERED, I HAVE NOT TRIED. I SUBSEQUENTLY OVERVIEW, THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS NOT NORMAL. I LOOKED AT THE WORST DEFAULT OF THE FRONTIER ON THE INTERNET AND I FIND THAT EVERYONE HAS A PROBLEM RADIATOR CRACK LEAKED INTO TRANSMISSION FLUID. I HAVE BEEN TO THE GARAGE. THEY SAID THERE WAS COOLANT IN THE OIL TRANSMISSION. I HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR COOLANT RADIATOR BYPASS. IT COST ME $ 2,408 CAD

ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC, THE TRANSMISSION COOLANT RESERVOIR (WHICH IS CONNECTED TO THE RADIATOR) COLLAPSED CAUSING WATER, ANTIFREEZE AND TRANSMISSION FLUID TO MIX. THESE FLUIDS THEN MADE THEIR WAY INTO THE RADIATOR, TRANSMISSION AND COOLANT RESERVOIR. THIS, IN TURN, CAUSED EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO MY TRANSMISSION. MY TRANSMISSION THEN REQUIRED REPLACEMENT/REBUILD. THE FIRST POSSIBLE SIGN OF THE PROBLEM WAS ROUGH AUTOMATIC SHIFTING OF THE VEHICLE. I THEN NOTICED A LEAK OF TRANSMISSION FLUID FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE (WHICH WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY). THIS WAS FOLLOWED BY A LOSS OF POWER/DRIVABILITY.

I BOUGHT THE TRUCK AND LESS THAN A WEEK LATER I NOTICED A WEIRD RUMBLING NOISE AT AROUND 35-50 MPH AND 1-2 RPMS. ONE TIME WHILE I WAS BY MYSELF IN THE MOUNTAINS SCOUTING FOR AN ELK HUNTING TRIP, THE TRUCK WOULD NOT GO INTO REVERSE. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN VERY BAD AS I WAS ISOLATED OTHERWISE DEEP IN UTAH MOUNTAINS IN THE FALL. TOOK THE TRUCK IN AND FOUND IT WAS TRANSMISSION FAILURE JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE HAD WRITTEN ABOUT ON THE INTERNET. EXTENDED WARRANTY REPLACED TRANSMISSION FOR $100.00. 6 MONTHS LATER, I WAS STILL NERVOUS ABOUT THE ISSUE AND BEFORE A BIG TRIP I DID SOME MORE RESEARCH. PEOPLE WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS WERE POINTING AT THE RADIATOR AND WARNED TO CHECK IT FOR TRANSMISSION OIL CONTAMINATION. CHECKED IT LAST NIGHT AND THE RADIATOR IS FULL OF TRANSMISSION OIL. TRUCK IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME WOBBLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ONCE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING COLUMN AND ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AS THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED AN INACCURATE READING THAT THE FUEL TANK CAPACITY WAS FULL HOWEVER, THE FUEL TANK LEVEL WAS EMPTY. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE MECHANIC INFORMED THAT THE FUEL SENSOR WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V075000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000.

THE GAS GAUGE HAS STOPPED WORKING. IT WILL READ EMPTY (WITH LIGHT ON) EVEN IMMEDIATELY AFTER A FILL-UP. OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS, IT GIVES ERRATIC READINGS. I HAVE TO KEEP A WRITTEN NOTE ON THE MILEAGE EACH TIME I FILL UP SO THAT I DON'T ACCIDENTLY RUN OUT OF GAS

I PURCHASED A USED 2006 FRONTIER. THE DEALER TOLD ME THEY DO NOT CHECK FOR RECALLS ON NON FORD VEHICLES. AFTER 5 MONTHS AND FIVE MILES, THE RADIATOR APPARENTLY CAUSED MY TRANSMISSION TO FAIL. WHEN IT FAILED I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN IN FRONT OF TRAFFIC AND LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND WAS ALMOST COLLIDED INTO. THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP SAYS THIS IS A RECALL THAT SINCE THE PREVIOUS OWNER DIDN'T HAVE IT PERFORMED, AND THE DEALER DIDN'T DO ANYTHING THAT I'M LIABLE FOR $5500 IN REPAIR.

I CALLED NISSAN IN REGARDS TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V075000. THEY CLAIM THAT IT DOES NOT APPLY TO MY VIN [XXX]. MY VEHICLE HAS ROUGHLY 52,000 MILES ON IT AND IS EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE. THEY WANT ME TO TAKE IT TO NISSAN FOR A DIAGNOSIS THAT WILL COST ME ~$150. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON AND REFERS TO THE FUEL SENDING UNIT. THE IN CABIN FUEL GAUGE SHOWS 1/4 TANK NEARLY ALL THE TIME. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TRANSMISSION SLIPS AND THE FIRST GEAR SO ROUGH

A FEW WEEKS AGO I NOTICED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE ON MY TRUCK WOULD DROP TO EMPTY AND THE LOW FUEL INDICATOR LIGHT WOULD TURN ON IMMEDIATELY AFTER FILLING UP. AFTER I DROVE AROUND A FEW MILES, THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD GO BACK UP TO IT'S NORMAL LEVEL. HOWEVER, OVER THE COURSE OF THE LAST FEW WEEKS IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE AND WORSE TO THE POINT WHERE IT ALMOST ALWAYS READS EMPTY. AFTER LOOKING ONLINE, I FOUND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL FOR FAULTY FUEL SENSORS (NHTSA CAMPAIGN #10V075000). HOWEVER, AFTER CALLING NISSAN AND PROVIDING THEM WITH MY VIN, THEY INFORMED ME THAT MY TRUCK WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ONLINE, I'VE FOUND THAT MANY, MANY PEOPLE ARE IN THE SAME SITUATION AS ME. SOME HAVE EVEN BEEN TOLD BY THE NISSAN REPAIR MECHANICS WHO FIXED THEIR VEHICLES THAT IT WAS CAUSED BY THE SAME DEFECT, BUT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO BECAUSE THE VIN WASN'T INCLUDED IN THE REPORTED BATCH, OR THAT THAT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THIS DEFECT HAD ALREADY EXPIRED. THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS. I WALK TO WORK ALMOST EVERY DAY SO THE MILEAGE ON MY FRONTIER IS FAIRLY LOW. I'M JUST OVER 50,000 MILES SINCE I PURCHASED THE TRUCK IN 2006, BUT I'M STILL AFFECTED BY THIS SERIOUS DEFECT. THIS IS A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS DEFECT. IT IS NOT RIGHT THAT I, AND EVERY BODY ELSE WHO IS AFFECTED BUT NOT "COVERED", SHOULD HAVE TO PAY THE HIGH PRICE FOR THE REPAIR.

THE LOCK RING THAT HOLDS THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR, FUEL FILTER, & FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY HAS COME LOOSE AND THE ASSEMBLY MOVED UPWARD ABOUT INCH LEAVING A GAP ALLOWING GAS TO SPLASH OUT OF THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK WHEN FULL OF GAS OR GOING OVER A BUMP. THIS HAPPENED OVER TIME AFTER THE VEHICLE'S FUEL SENSOR WAS REPLACED AFTER A RECALL.

THE TRANSMISSION IS SHIFTING HARD AND I BELIEVE I HAVE I HAVE A SIMILAR PROBLEM THAT IS COMMON FOR THIS VEHICLE. THE RADIATOR FLUID IS FOAMY AND DIS-COLORED WHICH I HAVE FOUND TO MOST LIKELY BE TRANNY FLUID GETTING INTO MY RADIATOR, AND COOLANT GETTING INTO MY TRANSMISSION, WHICH THE WAY IT LOOKS, MEANS I NEED TO REPLACE MY RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION. I CANNOT CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT IT FROM TO HELP WITH REPAIRS BECAUSE THEY CLOSED THEIR DOORS... ONLY HAD THIS TRUCK SINCE 2/8/2016

THERE IS A RECALL LISTED FOR 2006 NISSAN FRONTIERS WHERE THE GAS GAUGE DROPS TO 1/4 TANK WHEN FILLED, AND THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. "THE MOLDED SHELLS CAN DEFORM, CAUSING THE FUEL SENDER FLOAT ARM TO CONTACT AN EMBOSSMENT MOLDED INTO THE TANK SHELL CAUSING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FUEL GAUGE TO SHOW THAT THE VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY ONE QUARTER TANK WHEN THE FUEL IS EMPTY." WHEN I CALLED NISSAN NORTH AMERICA THEY LOOKED UP MY VIN AND SAID IT WAS NOT FROM A "BATCH OF CARS THAT ARE COVERED". ARE YOU KIDDING? PLEASE ADDRESS THIS WITH NISSAN...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. AFTER REFUELING THE VEHICLE, THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED AN INCORRECT READING. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS AWARE OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V075000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE), BUT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000. UPDATED 04/13/16*LJ UPDATED 06/05/18*JB

RADIATOR COOLANT IS LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND CAUSING IT TO OVERHEAT.

CROSS CONTAMINATION OF COOLANT AND TRANSMISSION FLUID DUE TO FACTORY DEFECT IN RADIATOR. BEGAN WITH NO HEAT SUDDENLY IN THE MIDDLE OF JANUARY. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO WARN OF ISSUE. CHANGED OUT THE THERMONSTAT AND NOTICED THE STRAWBERRY FOAMY LIQUID IN THE RADIATOR THEN SEARCH 2006 NISSAN TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS ON LINE. VEHICLE ALSO STOPS AND STARTS VERY, VERY, SLOWLY IN INTERSECTIONS, ON RAMPS.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH, MY 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER SUDDENLY WAS RUNNING VERY ROUGH, IT DECELERATED AND I ONLY HAD LOW GEAR ENOUGH TO BARELY MAKE IT OFF THE HWY AND OUT OF THE WAY OF HIGH SPEED TRAFFIC. NO DASH/IDIOT LIGHTS CAME ON IDENTIFYING ANY PROBLEMS, THERE WAS NO WARNING AT ALL. TRUCK WAS TOWED TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHO SAID THE TRANSMISSION, AND RADIATOR, AND THERMOSTAT ALL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED!! THEY CHARGED US $5,500. THIS TRUCK ONLY HAD 135,000 MILES, AND WAS KEPT IN GREAT CONDITION, AT TIME OF IT'S FAILURE. NISSAN SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF MAKING THE CONSUMER BEAR THE COST OF NISSAN'S FAULTY PARTS!! THEY ARE FLAT OUT LUCKY IF NO ONE'S BEEN INJURED, OR KILLED DUE TO THIS FAILURE! HAD I BEEN ON THE INTERSTATE AS PLANNED THE VERY NEXT DAY, IN THIS TRUCK, I WONDER IF I'D BE HERE TODAY. THERE SHOULD BE NO QUESTION OR HESITATION THAT THIS "TRANSMISSION FAILURE" IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE A FULL FLEDGED RECALL. AND WE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO FOOT THE BILL FOR NISSAN'S SCREW-UPS WITH OUR HARD EARNED MONEY. IT IS SIMPLY WRONG.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHIFTED OUT OF GEAR INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE DECELERATED AND STALLED. DURING THE FAILURE, THE CHECK ENGINE SOON LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE RADIATOR COOLANT TANK LEAKED FLUID ONTO THE TRANSMISSION. THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 154,000.

SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE USED IN LATE DECEMBER 2014. I WAS RECEIVING A P0463 CODE THE GAS GAUGE RANDOMLY STARTED DROPPING TO BELOW EMPTY AND THE LIGHT WOULD GO ON JUST AFTER FILLING UP THE TANK (FULL). THE GAUGE STAYS AT EMPTY WITH THE LIGHT ON ALL THE TIME UNTIL IT REACHES AROUND 1/4 TANK OR LESS AND WILL GO DOWN SOMETIMES UNTIL EMPTY AGAIN. HOWEVER IT HAS RUN OUT OF GAS ON ME MULTIPLE TIMES IN INTERSECTIONS WHEN IT SAYS I HAVE 1/4 OR 1/8TH TANK WHICH LEADS TO A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. I AM FORCED TO USE THE TRIP METER ALL THE TIME WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE. THIS IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE FUEL SENDING UNIT ISSUE THAT HAS AFFECTED ALL OTHER 2006 FRONTIERS (AND OTHER YEARS AS WELL). ALTHOUGH NISSAN ONLY REPLACED 'SOME' IT IS THE SAME PART AND ISSUE THAT HAS AFFECTED ALL FRONTIERS THAT HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE. WHY MINE IS NOT COVERED I AM NOT SURE BUT IT HAS PUT MY VEHICLE AND ANY OCCUPANTS IN IT IN DANGER AND IS A COSTLY REPAIR DUE TO A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. AN AUTO REPAIR STORE SAID THE WHOLE FUEL PUMP UNIT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED BUT THE VEHICLE IS MY DAILY DRIVER SO I HAVE HAD TO DRIVE IT IN THIS CONDITION FOR A YEAR NOW NEVER KNOWING IF IT WILL RUN OUT ON ME WHILE DRIVING AT SPEED.

MY VEHICLES CONTAIN A DEFECTIVE RADIATOR COOLER TANK THAT RUPTURES AND FORCES COOLANT INTO THE TRANSMISSION THROUGH THE COOLER LINES. WHEN THE COOLANT MIXES WITH TRANSMISSION FLUID IT CREATES A FROTHY LIQUID THAT EATS VALVES, ERRODES SEALS AND CAUSES CORROSION. IT'S TOXIC, IRREVERSIBLE AND KILLED MY 5-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION ON MY NISSAN FRONTIER 2006. NOW I HAVE TO PAY $3,700.00 FOR THE REPAIR OF THE TRANSMISSION. WHY NISSAN DID NOT REPAIR ALL THE CARS? THEY KNEW THAT MOST OF THE CAR WILL BRAKE PASS 100,000 MILES. LIKE MINE. ALSO WHEN YOU BUY A CAR FROM THE DEALER, THEY DO NOT TEL YOU THIS PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD START INDEPENDENTLY WITH THE KEY IN HIS POCKET AND WHEN DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE ENGINE WOULD FAIL. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT WHEN HE DISCONNECT OR RECONNECT THE BATTERY, THE ENGINE WOULD START UP WITHOUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION. THE FAILURE RECURRED THREE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 71,000. UPDATED 04/14/16*LJ UPDATED 05/11/18*JB *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY DUE TO TRANSMISSION FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE COOLANT SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 96,000.

KNOWN QUALITY DEFECT OF NISSAN TRUCKS IN WHICH RADIATOR FLUID LEAKS INTO TRANSMISSION EVENTUALLY CAUSING COMPLETE FAILURE OF TRANSMISSION AND VEHICLE OPERATION. THIS FAILURE CAN HAPPEN AT ANYTIME AND CAN EFFECT ALL NISSAN TRUCKS MADE DURING THIS TIMEFRAME

THE VEHICLE HAS 86,700 MILES, I ALWAYS TOOK CARE OF IT, CHANGING OIL AT 3000 MILE INTERVALS, NEVER TOWED WITH IT, ETC., ETC., WHILE DRIVING THE TRANS SLIPPED OUT OF GEAR, LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND NOBODY WAS IN BACK OF ME, WHEN I GOT IT TO THE DEALER, THEY SAID THE TIMING CHAIN AND GUIDES NEEDED REPLACEMENT PLUS THE RADIATOR LEAKED AND THE TRANS COOLER CONTAMINATED THE TRANSMISSION AND THEY BOTH HAD TO BE REPLACED AND IT COST ME NEAR $5000.00 FOR TOTAL REPAIRS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. AFTER TAKING THE VEHICLE ON A TRIP, IT WAS WITNESSED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS LEAKING TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR FLUID. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT WATER WAS MIXING WITH TRANSMISSION FLUID, WHICH RESULTED IN ENGINE FAILURE. DETAILS OF THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 142,000. UPDATED 1/21/16 *CN

THE INTERNAL PORTION OF THE TRANSMISSION COOLER/WARMER INSIDE THE RADIATOR FAILED AND CONTAMINATED THE TRANSMISSION AND CAUSE IT TO FAIL. A KNOWN PROBLEM IN THIS VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE FUEL GAUGE PROVIDED INACCURATE READINGS. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

COOLANT MIXING IN TRANSMISSION. NO WARNING, TRUCK JUST QUITE WORKING.

BOUGHT THE TRUCK USED AT A NISSAN DEALERSHIP. HAD UNDER 50K MILES. 2 MONTHS AGO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND HEAT WAS NOT WORKING. HAD IT LOOKED AT SEVERAL TIMES SPENDING MONEY EACH TIME BUT THEY COULD NOT FIND PROBLEM. LAST MONTH TRUCK STARTED RUNNING ROUGH. FOUND OUT THIS WEEK IT NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION/RADIATOR DUE TO A PROBLEM THAT NISSAN HAS KNOWN ABOUT FOR YEARS. THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT ABOUT THE PROBLEM. THEY SAID MY TRUCK IS TOO OLD TO QUALIFY FOR HELP. ACCORDING TO SITES I SEE WE DO QUALIFY AND I NEED SOME HELP. IT OVERHEATED TODAY AND BROKE DOWN ON HIGHWAY AND IS NOT DRIVABLE. I NEED SOMEONE TO HELP ME WITH THIS.

I WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS A CRACKED RADIATOR IN MY TRUCK THAT WAS LEAKING FLUIDS INTO MY TRANSMISSION. THIS WAS ON SUNDAY 9/27/15. THE EMPLOYEE OF MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME ABOUT THIS. THE FOLLOWING I WAS INFORMED BY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT I WOULD NEED TO REPLACE THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS AN "ONGOING" ISSUE GOING ON WITH VEHICLES THAT MATCH MY MAKE AND MODEL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND THE RPMS INCREASED, BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS FILLED WITH FLUID AND NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 127,000.

RECENTLY MY 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER TRANSMISSION STARTED TO MAKE A GRINDING NOISE AT SPEEDS WHEN SHIFTING TO A LOWER GEAR. I CHECKED THE COMPUTER ABOUT POSSIBLE PROBLEMS; THAT IS WHEN I FOUND OUT ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION LINES FAILING INSIDE OF THE RADIATOR. THE WATER WAS LEAKING INTO MY TRANSMISSION. NISSAN AND THE DEALERSHIP THAT I WAS GETTING MY TRUCK SERVICED KNEW OF THE PROBLEM FOR MANY YEARS. WHEN I ASKED THE SERVICE ADVISER ABOUT THE PROBLEM, HE TOLD ME MY FRONTIER HAD 7,000 OVER 100,000 MILES AND THAT WAS THE CUTOFF FOR NISSAN TO HELP. WHAT MADE ME MAD WAS THAT I HAD MY 90,000 MILE SERVICE DONE AT THE DEALERSHIP ON 01/28/2014 , PAID $523.38 AND NOTHING WAS TOLD TO ME SO I COULD TAKE ACTION TO SAVE MY TRANSMISSION!!! I SHOULD HAD BEEN TOLD OF THE DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION LINES BEFORE IT RUINED MY TRANS. NOW I AM OUT $3,228.78 FOR A REBUILT TRANSMISSION. THEY KNEW I HAD THE FRONTIER, WHY DIDN'T THEY TELL ME OF THE DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION LINES... I DON'T UNDERSTAND...

IN FEBRUARY 2015 I STARTED HAVING TRANSMISSION SHUTTER/SHAKE AT 35 TO 40 MPH. TRANSMISSION CONTINUED TO GET WORSE WITH THE TRANSMISSION BANGING INTO GEAR AT APPROX 65 MPH. TOOK VEHICLE TO MY MECHANIC WHO INFORMED ME OF THE ONGOING CRACKED RADIATOR LEAKING WATER INTO TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. WITHIN 4 WEEKS OF FIRST PROBLEM, TRANSMISSION FAILED COMPLETELY AND I WAS FORCED TO HAVE IT REPLACED AT A COST OF $4535.47.

VEHICLE'S COOLANT IS LEAKING INTO TRANSMISSION, CAUSING ERRATIC SHIFTING WHILE DRIVING. I'M TOLD THE TRANSMISSION WILL EVENTUALLY FAIL WHILE DRIVING.

THE TRANSMISSION IS FAILING AT ONLY 75,000 MILES. I HAD THE RADIATOR REPLACED AFTER A BRIEF OVERHEATING ISSUE. THERE WAS A BROWN LIKE PUDDY THAT BEGAN TO DEVELOP IN THE VEHICLE'S SYSTEM AT THAT POINT AND A SLUGGISH TRANSMISSION, STALLING AND FAILING REQUIRING CONSTANT RESTARTING AND CONSTANT SITTING AND REPAIR COSTS FOR THE VEHICLE.

CAR WOULD NOT START, TOWED TO MECHANIC. HE REPORTED TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED DUE TO CONTAMINATION. TO MY FAMILY THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO THE FACT THAT WE LIVE IN A VERY RURAL AREA THAT SEES LITTLE TRAFFIC NOR DOES IT HAVE GOOD CELL PHONE RECEPTION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY SWITCHED INTO FOUR WHEEL DRIVE AS THE VEHICLE LOST POWER. THE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ALSO ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE ECM (ENGINE CONTROL MODULE) NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V517000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 124,000.

I PURCHASED A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER 4X4 TRUCK ON 7/28/15 AND HAVE SINCE DISCOVERED IT HAD SERIOUS TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. I TOOK IT INTO NISSAN OF TACOMA TO BE LOOKED AT AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT NISSAN KNOWS ABOUT SO THEY WILL PAY ALL BUT $3000 OF THE REPAIRS. I WAS TOLD THIS WAS AN INHERENT PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL AND OTHERS MADE BY NISSAN AND NISSAN HAS SINCE CHANGED HOW THEY BUILT THEIR CARS. I HAVE BEEN TOLD I CAN ONLY DRIVE IT SEMI SAFELY AROUND TOWN, NO GOING OVER THE MOUNTAINS AND ABSOLUTELY NO TOWING WITH IT WHICH IS WHY I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK, TO TOW MY TRAILER. I AM A DISABLED SENIOR ON A FIXED INCOME AND HAVE NO EXTRA MONEY TO FIX MUCH LESS BUY A NEW VEHICLE. I OWE AROUND $27000. ON IT AND WENT AS FAR AS TO BUY AN EXTENDED WARRANTY WHICH WILL NOT COVER THESE ISSUES. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY IF THIS IS THAT BIG OF A PROBLEM IT HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED. THIS VEHICLE HAS 7 OTHER RECALLS PER YOU WEBSITE SO THIS BECOMES A REAL PROBLEM.

I WENT TO KERRY NISSAN WHERE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK WHEN I GOT THE NOTICE ABOUT THE CROSS CONTAMINATION OF THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND ANTIFREEZE DUE TO A DEFECT IN THE RADIATOR. MY TRUCK HAD 88,000 MILES ON IT AT THAT TIME. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER NOT TO WORRY BECAUSE IT WAS RARE FOR THIS PROBLEM TO HAPPEN.I ASKED ABOUT PREVENTIVE MEASURES AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NONE. I ASKED ABOUT REPLACING THE RADIATOR. I WAS TOLD THAT WOULDN'T HELP BECAUSE IT WOULD BE THE SAME RADIATOR. NOW AT 108,000 MILES MY TRANSMISSION IS SHOT BECAUSE IT'S FULL OF ANTIFREEZE. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN GARAGE KEPT, MAINTAINED, AND LOOKS LIKE NEW. THE DEALER HAS QUOTED $5,236.00 TO REPAIR. I CONTACTED NISSAN THEY TOLD ME I HAD TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER WHO IS CHARGING ME $95.00 TO TELL ME WHAT I ALREADY KNOW. NISSAN KNOWING AT THAT TIME THEY WEREN'T GOING TO DO ANYTHING TO HELP ME. HOW DO THEY SETTLE A CLASS ACTION SUIT FOR 80,000 MILES WHEN ALL THE INCIDENTS HAPPEN CLOSER TO 100,000? THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A TOTAL RECALL ON ALL THE VEHICLES AFFECTED TO REPLACE THE RADIATOR WITH A REDESIGNED ONE. THIS IS SO WRONG. I WAS PLANNING ON DRIVING THIS TRUCK ANOTHER 5 YEARS.

TRANSMISSION FAILURE DUE TO A DEFECTIVE RADIATOR. WARNING SIGNS OF FAILURE. TRUCK STALLS OUT WHILE DRIVING AT NORMAL SPEEDS. THE DAY IT WENT OUT I WAS CROSSING A BRIDGE AND CAME HAIR OF GETTING REAR ENDED. BY THE TIME I GOT CLOSE TO HOME IT WAS JUST SLIPPING SO BAD I HAD TO PARK IT. NISSAN WILL NOT TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS AND THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE STUCK WITH A $5000.00 REPAIR BILL WHICH THE AVERAGE PERSON LIKE ME CAN'T AFFORD. THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE A FULL BLOWN RECALL ON ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. WHILE DRIVING AT NUMEROUS SPEEDS, THE FUEL GAUGE FLUCTUATED AND THE VEHICLE RAN OUT OF FUEL. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT IT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V075000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 75,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

THE TRANSMISSION ON MY TRUCK SUDDENLY WENT OUT WITH NO WARNING DURING MY MORNING COMMUTE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ON THE 202 LOOP IN PHOENIX. SHIFTING TO A DIFFERENT GEAR HAD THE SAME EFFECT AS STEPPING ON THE GAS, WHICH WAS THAT THE ENGINE REVVED WITH NO INCREASE OR DECREASE IN SPEED. I HAD TO COAST ACROSS 4 LANES OF FAST MOVING TRAFFIC. IT WAS AN INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I AM TOLD BY THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP THAT TRANSMISSION FLUID MIXED WITH COOLANT AND THAT IT WAS A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE. I HAVE RECEIVED NO NOTICES OF ANY KIND FROM NISSAN AND WAS SHOCKED TO LEARN THAT THIS IS A KNOWN, COMMONLY OCCURRING DEFECT AND THAT THE DEFECT MANIFESTS INSTANTANEOUSLY AND WITHOUT WARNING MOST OF THE TIME. NISSAN SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE DEFECTIVE SYSTEM AND FOR NOT NOTIFYING ME THAT I SHOULD HAVE THE DEALER FIX IT BEFORE THEY PUT MY LIFE AND PROPERTY AND THAT OF EVERY PERSON AROUND ME AT RISK. UPDATED 09/15/15*LJ *CN

RADIATOR HAS A CRACK INTERNALLY AND IS LEAKING FLUID IN TO THE TRANSMISSION. COST IS $3000 TO FIX.

RADIATOR DEVELOPED LEAK AND LEAKED ANTIFREEZE INTO TRANSMISSION. DESTROYED TRANSMISSION. HAD TO HAVE TOTAL REBUILD ON TRANSMISSION AND NEW RADIATOR INSTALLED. TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS BLEEDING BACK INTO RADIATOR. CONTACTED 2 DIFFERENT NISSAN DEALERS WHEN IT FIRST STARTED. THEY ASSURED ME NISSAN WAS NOT HAVING ANY RADIATOR PROBLEMS. TOLD ME TO CHECK U-JOINTS AND DRIVE LINE. SAID IT WOULD BE VERY HARD TO FIND PROBLEM SINCE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT WAS NOT COMING ON. A FRIEND RECOMMENDED A MECHANIC AND HE KNEW EXACTLY WHAT WAS WRONG. BIG BUCKS TO FIX.

I BOUGHT A 2006 NISSAN TRUCK FROM GARY MATHEW NISSAN LAST YEAR,I WAS TOLD IT WAS CHECK OUT AND IN GOOD RUNNING SHAPE I AM A 65 YEAR OLD RECENT WINDOW NO ONE SAID NOTHING ABOUT A DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION COOLER THAT COULD CAUSE THE TRANSMISSION TO FAIL OR THAT IT WAS FACTORY CAUSED PROBLEM THAT COULD OCCUR. LAST WEEK I WAS DRIVING IT KEEP SHOWING 4X4 AND SERVICE ENGINE SOON IN DASH IT WOULD LOSE POWER TO POINT IT WOULD NOT MOVE UNTIL IT SIT A FEW MINUTES .I CARRIED IT NEXT DAY THE SAID IT WAS A LOSE CABLE,WENT HOME IT DID SAME THING SEVERAL TIMES AND LOST POWER ON ROAD IN TRAFFIC,TO POINT IT DIDN'T WANT TO MOVE I WENT TO DEALER RIGHT THEN. WELL THEY CAME OUT WITH A COST PAPER TO FIX IT $ 5300.00 I JUST SIT THERE COULDN'T FIGURE HOW A TRUCK I JUST GOT COULD OF TORE UP I TAKE CARE OF MY STUFF ,INCLUDING MY CARS CHECK FLUIDS ALL I CAN DO, WELL THEN A CAR SALES MAN SAID MAYBE BETTER TO TRADE,AFTER HOURS OF THIS AND ME NOT ABLE TO TRADE COULDN'T AFFORD THE 5300 MUCH LESS IN DEPT 18,000 FOR ANOTHER USED TRUCK WITH 90,000 MILES ON IT, I TOLD THEM TO FIX IT, I'D TRY BORROW MONEY,I WAS ALSO TOLD MAY GET HELP FROM NISSAN BUT LOOKED AT THEIR EXTENDED WARRANTY ONLY UP TO 80,000 MILES ON THE TRANSMISSION THING. WE HAVE HAD NISSAN OR DATSUNS TOO THAT HAD OVER 200,000 MILES ON THEM AND DID FINE RIGHT UP TO BEING REPLACED, THAT'S WHY I GOT MY TRUCK,NISSAN KNEW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND KNEW IT WOULD HAPPEN, SO I AM HOPING NISSAN WILL HELP ME PAY FOR FIXING THEIR MESS UP. I LIKE NISSANS THRU YEARS MY HUSBAND AND I HAD LOTS OF THEM NOW I AM ALONE AND LOOK WHAT SOMEONE ELSE'S MISTAKE IS COSTING ME I HAVE TO MIDDLE OF WEEK TO COME UP WITH THIS MONEY FOR SOMEONE ELSE'S MISTAKE.. STEP UP NISSAN FIX YOUR MISTAKE . [XXX] IN TN> YA I PUT MY NAME THIS IS THE TRUTH I NEED HELP INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE RADIATOR COOLANT DRAINED INTO THE TRANSMISSION COUSING THE TRANSMISSION TO BREAK DOWN. ACCORDING TO MY MECHANIC THIS WAS DUE TO A DIFFECT ON THE MANUFACTURE OF THE RADIATOR, MY TRUCK, IN THIS CASE IS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE TOTAL AMOUNT I HAD TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS WAS $3963.08. NISSAN SHOULD BE ACCOUNTABLE AND RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS ISSUE IN THIS TRUCKS.

WHEN I GOT OUT OF COLLEGE THE FIRST THING I WANTED TO DO WAS TO BUY MY DREAM CAR. I HAD BEEN LOOKING INTO GETTING A TRUCK AND I WAS DEBATING BETWEEN MY NUMBER ONE CHOICE A NISSAN FRONTIER OR 2ND CHOICE TOYOTA TACOMA. I KNEW THE TACOMA WAS PROBABLY MORE RELIABLE IN TERMS OF MINOR PARTS YET I JUST LOVED THE DESIGN OF THE FRONTIER AND THEREFORE I BOUGHT ONE IN 2006 BRAND NEW. EVER SINCE IT HAS BEEN MY PREFERRED AND ONLY WAY OF TRANSPORTATION. I KNEW THAT MAINTAINING IT WAS IMPERATIVE THEREFORE WHEN IT CAME TO AN OIL CHANGE, CHANGE OF SUSPENSION TRUSTS, TRANSMISSION SERVICE, CHANGE OF SPARK PLUGS; IT WAS ALL DONE AT THE PROPER TIME. YET MY TRUCK STARTED GIVING ME ISSUES 4 MONTHS AGO WHEN IT WOULD SHAKE OR SHIMMER ON ROAD AND FREEWAY. DID SEVERAL TIRE ROTATIONS, DID SUSPENSION CHANGE, YET THE ISSUE STILL PERSISTED. IT ALL CAME DOWN TO A SCREECHING HALT WHEN I WAS GOING UP TO SEQUOIA NATIONAL PARK FOR A HIKE WITH FRIENDS. MY FRONTIER ALL OF A SUDDEN STARTED LOOSING POWER AND THEN THE GEARS WOULD JUST NOT CHANGE. EVENTUALLY MY 'ENGINE SERVICE SOON' APPEARED AND WAS FORCED TO STOP OUR TRIP. HAD TO HIRE A TOW TRUCK TO BRING DOWN THE TRUCK AND UPON SCANNING I GOT A P1759 CODE. UPON RESEARCHING I COME TO FIND OUT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH NOT ONLY THIS LINE OF TRUCK BUT ALSO XTERRA AND TITAN BRANDS. YOU CANNOT BELIEVE MY DISAPPOINTMENT. IF IT WERE SOMETHING SIMPLE I WOULDN'T MIND BUT TRANSMISSION?!? REALLY?!? BECAUSE OF SOMEBODIES' MISTAKE WHEN IT CAME TO THE ENGINEERING OF THE TRUCK?!? AND TO FIND OUT NISSAN IS JUST IGNORING THE ISSUE. TOTAL DISAPPOINTMENT AND FRUSTRATION! NOW I HAVE TO WAIT FOR OUR SWEET GOVERNMENT TO TAKE ACTION SINCE THIS IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF A MAJOR CORPORATION IRRESPONSIBILITY AND ULTIMATELY.... GREED. BE WARNED ALL FRONTIER DRIVERS, YOUR TIME WILL COME.

WHILE DRIVING I NOTICED MY "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT ON, SO I CALLED A LOCAL NISSAN DEALER IN OUR PLACE AND HAVE A CHANGE OIL SERVICE. THE TECH ADVISOR INFORMED ME THAT MY FUEL SENSING UNIT IS MALFUNCTIONING AND ASKED ME IF I WANTED TO HAVE AND QUOTED ME A PRICE OF OVER $400.00. I SAID NO BECAUSE I CANNOT AFFORD THAT AMOUNT. I RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS TYPE PROBLEM HOWEVER IT EXPIRED ALREADY. I CALLED CORPORATE NISSAN AND REQUESTED IF THEY CAN FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY CALLED ME TODAY (5/29/2015) AND TOLD ME THEY CANNOT EXTEND THE RECALL. I THINK THIS RECALL SHOULD BE EXTENDED BY NISSAN. PLEASE INVESTIGATE BECAUSE THERE ARE A LOT OF OTHER 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AS OF THIS TIME (BASED ON THE SEVERAL NISSAN FORUMS I READ ON THE INTERNET.

RADIATOR CRACKED AND LEAKED COOLANT INTO MY TRANSMISSION, KILLING THE TRANSMISSION.

WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT MY VEHICLE I SEEN NOTHING PRETTY MUCH WRONG WITH IT. AFTER A WEEK OF DRIVING WITH IT I START NOTICING PROBLEM WITH THE TIRES, NOT A BIG DEAL. I FIXED THAT, THEN I NOTICE THAT MY VEHICLE STARTS ACTING UP IN CHANGING GEARS, AS WELL AS HEATING UP. SO I CHECK THE RADIATOR, THAT I NOTICE TRANSMISSION FLUID INSIDE THE RADIATOR. SO I CALLED THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP AFTER HEARING A RECALL, DUE TO THIS ISSUE. THEY TELL ME THAT I WOULD NEED $3500.00 AS A DEPOSIT, BEFORE THEY DO ANYTHING BECAUSE IT IS POSSIBILITY THAT NOT ONLY THE RADIATOR NEEDS TO BE CHANGED, BUT THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO CHANGE THE TRANSMISSION ALSO IF THEY SEE IT NEEDS TO BE CHANGED. ALL THIS IN LESS THAN A MONTH. SO I CHANGE THE RADIATOR MYSELF. NOW A MONTH LATER THE TRANSMISSION IS ACTING UP ON ME. SO I ASK WHAT GOOD IS A RECALL IF I HAVE TO PAY TO GET IT FIXED. WHAT GOOD IS BUYING A VEHICLE IF THE MANUFACTURES AND DEALERSHIP TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY IN WHAT THEY BUILD OR SALE. I NEVER TRY TO DO THIS TO ANY CUSTOMER IN WHEREVER I WORK, EITHER THE CABLE OR PHONE COMPANY, SO WHAT MAKE NISSAN SPECIAL IN DOING THIS TO THEIR CUSTOMERS. IN LESS THAT 2 MONTH AFTER I GET MY TRUCK FROM THE DEALERSHIP, I HAVE TO FIX MY TIRES, PUT A NEW RADIATOR, AND NOW A TRANSMISSION. WHAT USE IS HAVING A GOVERNMENT OR A FEDERAL SYSTEM, WHEN THE CUSTOMER IS NOT BEING HEARD, AND THE PEOPLE WITH THE MONEY CAN LIE TO THE CUSTOMER AND OUR SYSTEM DOES NOTHING, BUT ALLOW ALL THIS TO HAPPEN.

I ACTUALLY HAD A PROBLEM WITH MY 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER STALLING WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND FOUND OUT IT WAS BECAUSE OF ECM RELAY SO I CALLED NISSAN DEALER AND FOUND OUT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE RELAY. MADE A APPOINTMENT TO GET IT FIXED AND HAD THEM SEE WHY I HAD A HESITATION WHEN TAKING OFF. LONG STORY SHORT I SHOW BACK UP TO GET MY TRUCK AND SERVICE ADVISOR TELLS ME I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR BECAUSE OF COOLANT AND TRANSMISSION FLUID BEING MIXED.THE SERVICE ADVISER WAS VERY SHORT WITH ME AND SURE DIDN'T WANT TO EXPLAIN ANYTHING ABOUT THE PROBLEM,HE JUST WANTED ME TO ORDER $5302.87 WORTH PARTS TO FIX IT.I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE REST OF YOU BUT I DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY SITTING AROUND TO BUY A NEW TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR .THIS SHOULD BE SOMETHING THAT NISSAN RECALLS APPARENTLY IT'S A BIG PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. WHILE IDLING OR COMING TO STOP, THE VEHICLE WOULD SHUTTER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE AND DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE TECHNICIAN DETERMINED THAT THERE WAS A LEAK IN THE RADIATOR CAUSING THE COOLANT TO SEEP IN TO THE TRANSMISSION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 92,000.

MY FRIEND AND I WERE TRAVELING ON THE I-40E IN NEW MEXICO. HE WAS DRIVING MY TRUCK AND FEEL ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL. HE WOKE UP AND OVERSTEERED AND CAUSED US TO CRASH MY TRUCK INTO THE RIGHT SIDE HIGHWAY DITCH AT ABOUT 70 MILES PER HOUR. WE HIT FIRST WITH THE FRONT RIGHT OF MY TRUCK AND THEN TUMBLED 3 TIMES SMASHING ALL SIDES OF THE TRUCK ESPECIALLY THE FRONT. WE HAD OUR SEAT BELTS ON SO WE WEREN'T EJECTED, BUT AIR BAGS NEVER DEPLOYED. MY DOG WAS IN THE BACKSEAT OF THE 4 DOOR TRUCK AND WAS EJECTED AND DIED SHORTLY AFTER. I SUSTAINED SEVERAL INJURIES TO MY FACE, HEAD, ARMS, SHOULDERS, AND BACK. *TR

WHILE DRIVING, THE TRUCK STALLED ON A HILL DUE TO TRANSMISSION FAILURE. TRUCK BEGAN ROLLING BACKWARDS INTO TRAFFIC. TRANSMISSION FAILURE WAS CAUSED BY RADIATOR COOLANT LEAKING INTO TRANSMISSION. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE BY NISSAN, AND A SAFETY CONCERN. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ALONG AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHEN SUDDENLY MY TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY FAILED WITH NO WARNING. THANKFULLY IT COMPLETELY DISENGAGED AND DID NOT DAMAGE ANY OTHER SYSTEMS. WHEN TAKING IT TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS, I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A CRACK IN THE COOLANT SYSTEM AND TRANSMISSION FLUID AND COOLANT MIXED TOGETHER, THUS RUINING THE TRANSMISSION. AFTER SOME RESEARCH, I LEARNED THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE AND THAT NISSAN DID VERY LITTLE IN THE WAY OF RECALLS/INFORMING THEIR CUSTOMERS OF THIS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS ISSUE. *TR

WEATHER TURNED FROM RAIN TO ICY. SOUTH BOUND ON STREET THAT OVERPASS INTERSTATE. TRUCK SPUN AROUND SEVERAL TIMES FIRST IN SOUTH BOUND LANE HITTING GUARD RAIL ON WEST SIDE, WENT OVER THE CURB AND MEDIAN INTO NORTH BOUND LANE SPIN AGAIN BEFORE COMING TO REST AGAINST 4FT HIGH CONCRETE DIVIDER ON BRIDGE. THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG IS THE ONLY ONE THAT DEPLOYED. MY WIFE WAS IN PASSENGER SEAT. NO OTHER AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THIS TRUCK HAD DUAL STAGE SUPPLEMENTAL FRONT AIR BAGS AND NISSAN AABS.. THANKFULLY OUR SEAT BELTS WERE PROBABLY WHAT PROTECTED US FROM BEING THROWN FROM THE TRUCK. AS I STATED ONLY THE AIR BAG IN STEERING WHEEL DEPLOYED. THIS SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO WITH ALL THE RECALLS GOING ON. I HAD NOT RECEIVED ANY NOTICE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. I WENT TO EMERGENCY ROOM THE FOLLOWING TUESDAY TO GET XRAY OF CHEST BECAUSE OF PAIN. MY WIFE WENT TO HER DR ALSO. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, AND THEN ALL THE SUDDEN THE RPMS WENT UP AND I HAD NO CONTROL WITH THE GAS PEDAL, LIKE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL, I PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER PUT IT IN PARK, PUT IT BACK IN DRIVE AND IT STARTED TO GO AGAIN, AS SOON AS I HIT 4TH GEAR IT DID IT AGAIN. TOOK IT TO THE TRANSMISSION SHOP AND THE TOLD ME IT WAS THE RADIATOR LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION BECAUSE OF A CRACKED LINE. SEE THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FREQUENTLY WITH THIS MODEL, WHY NO WARNING OR RECALL? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V517000 (ENGINE, ENGINE COOLING); HOWEVER, AFTER THE REMEDY WAS PERFORMED, THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INOPERABLE DUE TO THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 126,000.

TOOK VEHICLE TO LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP FOR NOISE THAT APPEARED TO BE COMING FROM TRANSMISSION WITH A SLIGHT ROWING SOUND WHEN TRANSMISSION SHIFTED BETWEEN 40 MPH AND 45 MPH. SHOP MANAGER INFORMED ME TRUCK NEEDED A NEW TIMING CHAIN AND FUEL TANK SENDING UNIT. AFTER MAKING REPAIRS TO THE TIMING CHAIN WHICH THE SHOP MANAGER SPECIFICALLY INDICATED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS WITH THE TIMING CHAIN, MY TRUCK STILL HAS THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. THESE REPAIRS WERE MADE AT MY EXPENSE. NOW THE DEALERSHIP WANT ME TO PAY FOR ADDITIONAL REPAIRS THAT MAY NOT BE THE PROBLEM WHEN THEY SPECIFICALLY ASSURED ME THAT THE TIMING CHAIN WAS THE PROBLEM. I FEEL THAT THE REAL PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE IS THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION, WHICH IS A NATION-WIDE PROBLEM WITH NISSAN FRONTIER TRUCK TRANSMISSION AND OTHER NISSAN VEHICLES. NISSAN IS RESPONSIBLE FOR A RE-CALL ON THESE VEHICLE. (WILL SEEK NISSAN CORP. & BBB ASSIST TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE). *TR

RECENTLY PURCHASED A USED 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER FROM A DEALER AND AFTER A COUPLE DAYS OF DRIVING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, SHIFTED REAL HARD AND ABOUT CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION, WE FOUND THAT THERE WAS COOLANT IN THE TRANSMISSION AND VIS VERSA. ESTIMATED COST OF REPAIR IS 5-7 THOUSAND DOLLARS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER SEAT WAS ONLY ANCHORED BY TWO BOLTS INSTEAD OF FOUR, DUE TO THE METAL TRACK BASE AND FLOOR PAN BEING FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 173,000.

IN EIGHT YEARS I HAVE CHANGED TWO ZD30 ENGINES IN MY FRONTIER,BECAUSE OF BURNED OUT PISTONS AND BAD CYLINDER HEADS,EIGHT BURNED OUT PISTONS IN TOTAL,AND AS OF TODAY DECEMBER 3/2014 MY FRONTIER LOST POWER SENDING BLUE SMOKE FROM THE EXHAUST AND OIL,MY MECHANIC SAYS THE ENGINE HAS TO BE OPENED AGAIN. MY FUEL PUMP WENT BAD SOON AFTER THE WARRANTY WAS UP.SENT IT OVER SEAS TO BE REPAIRED ,AT A COST OF $1500.00 THE DANGEROUS PART IS THE STEERING GOING LOOSE,LUCKY FOR MY WIFE AND SELF I WAS IN TRAFFIC DRIVING AT 10 MPH. THE LOCAL DEALER DISCLAIMED EVERYTHING. I AM ABOUT TO LODGE A COMPLAINT TO OUR LOCAL BUREAU OF STANDARDS. *JS

TRANSMISSION BLEW DUE TO RADIATOR FLUID LEAKING INTO TRANSMISSION. KNOWN PROBLEM BY NISSAN, YET NO RECALL ISSUED AND DEADLINE TO BE PART OF CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT HAS PASSED. *TR

WHILE IN DRIVE, VEHICLE DOES NOT WANT TO SHIFT INTO HIGHER GEAR AND TOOK EXCESSIVELY LONG TO GAIN SPEED. WHEN THIS VEHICLE DID EVENTUALLY SHIFT GEARS, IT SHIFTED EXTREMELY HARD AS IF SOMETHING WAS DAMAGED . AFTER DIAGNOSED BY MECHANIC, I WAS TOLD THAT THE RADIATOR HAD LEAKED WATER AND ANTIFREEZE INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND BOTH RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I JUST PURCHASED THIS TRUCK TWO MONTHS PRIOR. ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC, THIS IS A PROBLEM NISSAN HAS HAD AND KNOWN ABOUT FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND HAS NOT FIXED OR MADE KNOWN. I AM TOLD THIS WILL BE AN EXPENSIVE FIX, ONE THAT I CAN NOT AFFORD ANYTIME SOON. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE THIS VEHICLE COULD NOT SPEED UP AND I ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED SEVERAL TIMES. PLEASE INITIATE A FORMAL INVESTIGATION OF THIS VEHICLE AND THE ABOVE MENTIONED PROBLEM. THIS IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND SHOULD BE CORRECTED BY NISSAN. *TR

MY VEHICLE SHUDDERED AND FELT TO SLIP OUT OF GEAR WHILE DRIVING! BECAUSE OF THIS KNOWN ISSUE OF LEAKING COOLANT CAUSES TRANSMISSION FAILURE. I BOUGHT THIS FRONTIER WITH VERY LOW MILES AND WAS NEVER TOLD OF THIS POTENTIAL ISSUE FROM THE DEALERSHIP. IT SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL AS IT PREVENTS THE VEHICLE FROM ACCELERATING AND IF YOU ARE DRIVING CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I AM NOW READING THAT NISSAN OWNERS HAVE NO IDEA THIS IS HAPPENING UNTIL TOO LATE. ONCE THE COOLANT IS MIXED WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID THIS LETHAL COMBINATION KILLS THE VALVES, SEALS AND TORQUE CONVERTER -- RENDERING YOUR ENTIRE TRANSMISSION USELESS. I READ THAT THIS ISSUE IS CURRENTLY CONTAINED TO THE 2005?2010 MODEL YEARS. I HAVE A 2006 WITH 64K MILES! IT IS ONLY TIME UNTIL THIS ISSUE CAUSES MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS SINCE THIS ISSUE HAPPENS WHILE CARS ARE DRIVING. PLEASE PUSH NISSAN FOR A RECALL. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR A KNOWN ENGINEERING / MANUFACTURING DEFECT. *TR

VEHICLE RAN HOT, WAS TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. NEEDED A NEW RADIATOR TRANSMISSION FLUID MIXING WITH ANTIFREEZE. *TR

TRANSMISSION WAS SHIFTING ERRATIC HAD IT TOWED TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP. THEY FOUND THAT THE VALVE BODY IN THE TRANSMISSION WAS RUSTED FROM A PREVIOUS RADIATOR FAILURE ALLOWING THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND ANTI-FREEZE TO MIX TOGETHER, SEE ODI NUMBER:10641659. HAD TO REPLACE THE VALVE BODY AND OVERHAUL THE TRANSMISSION. *TR

FUEL GAUGE NOT READING CORRECTLY. REGISTERING 1/4 TANK WHEN IT WAS ALMOST EMPTY. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED THE FUEL SENDER UNIT. WHY WASN'T MY VEHICLE INVOLVED IN THE RECALL. LOOKS TO BE SOME MORE OF NISSAN'S NOT WANTING TO INCLUDE ALL OF THE DEFECTIVE VEHICLES IN THE RECALL. *TR

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

DRIVING WHEN CAME TO A STOP THEN DROVE CAR ENGINE REVVED UP. WHEN REACHED 20 MPH CAR DROVE FINE. ONLY HAPPENS WHEN CAR STOPS THEN GOES. TOOK TO SHOP SAID IT COULD COST ANYWHERE FROM 4500 TO 6500 TO REPAIR. I HAD TRUCK FOR ONLY 9 MONTHS AND AM STILL MAKING PAYMENTS. I CALLED JIM CLICK AUTO MALL AND THEY SAID SORRY NOT OUR PROBLEM. *TR

WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON I-4 IN ORLANDO FL MY TRANSMISSION SUDDENLY FAILED FROM COOLANT LEAKING INTO IT , I ALMOST GOT HIT BY A TRACTOR TRAILER WHEN TRYING TO GET TO THE BREAK DOWN LANE, COME TO FIND OUT THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN KNOWN BY NISSAN FOR QUITE SOME TIME AND THEY DIDN'T RECALL, I GUESS IT WILL TAKE SOMEONE GETTING KILLED BEFORE THEY ARE FORCED TO STEP UP AND ADDRESS THIS KNOW DEFECT, NOT ONLY IS IT COSTLY FOR THE FIX IT'S DANGEROUS. *TR

THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION RADIATOR CRACKED AND COOLANT LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION RENDERING IT USELESS. *TR

ISSUE STARTED AS A NO START CONDITION. UPON INVESTIGATION, THE TRUCK HAD A BLOWN FUSE AND CONTINUOUSLY BLEW FUSES. THE MECHANIC DETERMINED THE FAULT WAS WITH THE TPCM CONTAINED INTERNALLY IN THE TRANSMISSION CAUSED BY THE RADIATOR LEAKING ANTIFREEZE INTO THE TRANSMISSION VIA THE TRANSMISSION COOLER, THUS CAUSING TRANSMISSION FAILURE. VVER UPON CONTACTING NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE, THEY IMMEDIATELY REQUESTED THAT IT BE TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR DETERMINATION OF FAILURE THAT I WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE EXPENSE. THERE WAS NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE OFFERED AND THEY STATED THEY WOULD ESCALATE THE ISSUE ONCE THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM. LET IT BE KNOWN, NISSAN HAS ISSUED A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE DUE TO THE EXACT PROBLEM NOTED HERE. MY CONCERNS ARE 1.) WHY SHOULD I ENCOUNTER A SECOND COST FOR DIAGNOSIS (ESPECIALLY SINCE THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE FROM NISSAN) AND 2.) WHAT IS MY LIABILITY AND REIMBURSEMENT ONCE DETERMINED THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE SINCE MY MILEAGE EXCEEDS THEIR ALLOCATED AMOUNT. PRIOR RECALLS STATE THAT >90,000 MILES WAS $3000 DEDUCTIBLE WHEREAS MY MECHANIC COULD REPAIR THE VEHICLE FOR APPROXIMATELY $3000. AT 117,000 MILES, AVERAGE MILEAGE YEARLY IS LESS THAN 15,000 / YEAR. I REQUESTED THAT THE REGIONAL SERVICE ADVISER CONTACT ME (VIA SOCIAL NETWORK) AND TELEPHONE BUT HAVE NO CONTACT WITH NISSAN AS OF THIS WRITING. THIS IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURERS DEFECTIVE PART WHICH FAILED PREMATURELY, *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THE FUEL GAUGE FAILED TO DISPLAY THE CORRECT LEVEL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,500.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN JERKING AND THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY AND BEGAN TO OVER HEAT AS THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSIS AND THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THERE WAS A CRACKED ATF LINE THAT RAN THROUGH THE ENGINE COOLANT CHAMBER, IN THE RADIATOR, WHICH CAUSED CONTAMINATION. AS A RESULT, THE RADIATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REBUILT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 99,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE LOW FUEL WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED EVEN THOUGH THE FUEL TANK WAS FULL. THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL WHILE DRIVING UP INCLINES AND HILLS. THE FAILURES OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR CIRCUIT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V075000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

HELLO FELLOW "NISSANERS"! WELL, WAS SO HAPPY WITH THIS TRUCK AND MY WIFE AS WELL, BECAUSE THAT WAS HER FIRST IDEA TO PURCHASE THIS GOOD-LOOKING VEHICLE. OUR SON WAS DRIVING OUR FRONTIER TO SCHOOL AND BACK HOME A FEW YEARS AGO, THEN TO A LOCAL UNIVERSITY. EVERYBODY WERE SO HAPPY! THEN MY SON MENTIONED THAT TRUCK IS BEHAVING VERY STRANGE: HEAVY SHAKING/JUMPING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AROUND 60-65 MPH. I DIDN'T BELIEVED IT TILL I DRAW MYSELF. TRUE! A FEW TIMES I FELT LIKE HEAVY HIT FROM BEHIND, LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE ENDED UP TO TRUCK'S REAR SIDE! THEN I SEARCHED WEB AND AFTER SOME EXPLORATION REALIZED THE PROBLEM IS RADIATOR COOLANT CONTAMINATES WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID! HOW?! I OPENED RADIATOR CUP AND SAW MILKY SUBSTANCE ON IT AND TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS NOT A CLEAR PINK COLOR, IT WAS MORE LIKE PINKISH MILK SHAKE COLOR! THAT WAS IT!!! AFTER ALMOST $32K WERE PAID IN FULL AND HAPPY FAMILY FOR A FEW YEARS, NOW A HUGE FRUSTRATION AND HELPLESSNESS!!! DEALERS "OFFER A HELP" ONLY IF WE PAY FULL PRICE FOR TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR TO CHANGE - ABOUT $6K. I HAVE NOT SO MUCH MONEY!!! I HEARD NISSAN REFUSING A RECALL ON THIS HUGE ISSUE. MR. NISSAN OR WHOEVER YOU ARE, PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT, ARE YOU SLEEPING WELL EVERY NIGHT?! WE DON'T!!! ARE YOU (MR. NISSAN) AFRAID TO GO BANKRUPT OF THIS BIG PROBLEM - I'VE BET YOU ARE! BUT THINK OF THOSE PEOPLE WHO ARE BEHIND THE WHEELS OF YOUR TRUCKS AND SUVS AND ON THIS CARS ONE DAY MIGHT GET STUCK IN MIDDLE OF FAST HIGHWAY BECAUSE OF THIS FAILURE...!!! I REALLY HOPE SOMEBODY CAN HEAR US OUT THERE. PLEASE DO SOMETHING!!! PLEASE!!! OTHER FRONTIERS, PATHFINDERS, XTERRAS - PLEASE WRITE YOUR COMPLAINTS!!! DON'T SEAT AND WAIT WHEN SOMETHING WILL HAPPEN, OR TILL SOMETHING HAPPENS!!! THANK YOU!!! *TR

DRIVING ON BUSY ROAD AT APPROXIMATELY 40MPH WHEN MY TRUCK STARTED TO SHAKE, I SLOWED MY TRUCK TO APPROXIMATELY 37 MPH, WHEN IT SOUNDED LIKE MY TRUCK EXPLODED. I COULD NOT STOP AND COULD BARELY TURN THE STEERING WHEEL ENOUGH TO GET OUT OF TRAFFIC JUST TO SMASH INTO THE CURB WHERE I FINALLY CAME TO A STOP. THE DRIVE SHAFT CAME APART, GRABBING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE CABLE, WINDING IT AROUND ONE PART OF THE DRIVE SHAFT, LEAVING ME STRANDED WITH MINORS ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WAITING FOR A WRECKER TO TOW MY TRUCK. HAD I HAVE BEEN ON THE INTERSTATE, DOING THE SPEED LIMIT (70MPH) WHEN THIS HAPPENED, MY CHILDREN AND I WOULD HAVE FLIPPED NOSE OVER TAIL, POSSIBLY BE STRUCK BY TRAFFIC AND SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE POWER STEERING FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO REPLACED THE UPPER AND LOWER STEERING SHAFTS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 67,000.

CONTACTED A MECHANIC BECAUSE MY TRUCK WOULD SHAKE AT SPEEDS AT OR ABOVE 50 MPH. IT WAS ALSO STARTING TO SHIFT VERY HARD. THE MECHANIC CHECKED IT OUT AND TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE RADIATOR FAILING AND CAUSING COOLANT AND WATER TO GET INTO THE TRANSMISSION... WHICH ISNT GOOD AT ALL FOR IT. RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION ARE SHOT AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. HE TELLS ME THAT NISSAN HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM FOR SOME TIME NOW WHICH WAS NEWS TO ME. YOU WOULD THINK NISSAN WOULD LET OWNERS KNOW ABOUT A PROBLEM SO SEVERE AND COMMON. NOW I'M ON THE HOOK FOR $4000 THANKS TO NISSAN AND IT VERY UNPROFESSIONALISM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD WOBBLE AND THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING COLUMN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,000. ...UPDATED 01/05/17 *BF UPDATED 8/30/2017*CN

RADIATOR COOLANT FAILURE LEAKED INTO TRANSMISSION CAUSING IT TO FAIL... *TR

MY "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT CAME ON. A CODE READ SAID IT WAS MY FUEL SENDING UNIT. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE ISSUE BUT NISSAN CUSTOMER SUPPORT SAID MY VIN WAS NOT COVERED. THEY DID NOT EXPLAIN WHY BUT UPON MY FOLLOW UP, THEY SAID THEY WOULD INVESTIGATE IF THEY COULD HELP/ASSIST WITH THE REPAIR COSTS. THEY REQUIRED THE CODE READ FROM THE DEALER (WHICH I DID AND THEY CONFIRMED IT WAS THE FUEL SENDING UNIT). THEY CALL ME BACK A WEEK LATER AND TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD NOT PAY, ALTHOUGH THE REPRESENTATIVE ADMITTED IT WAS THE DEFECT FROM THE RECALL CAMPAIGN, BUT THIS TIME, SHE SAID IT WAS BECAUSE THE RECALL WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. SINCE I WAS NEVER PART OF THE RECALL NOTICE, THERE WAS NO WAY FOR ME TO KNOW WHEN THE CAMPAIGN WAS IN EFFECT, PLUS - THEY DID NOT INCLUDE MY VIN NUMBER. THIS SAME PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED TO MANY, MANY PEOPLE AND IT SEEMS NISSAN HAS SCAMMED NHTSA AND THE RECALL SYSTEM TO MINIMIZE THE AMOUNT OF REPAIRS THEY HAVE HAD TO MAKE (E.G. THEY VOLUNTEER TO PERFORM THE RECALL, THEN ARTIFICIALLY LIMIT THE NUMBER OF VIN NUMBERS INCLUDED), AND PUT A TIME LIMIT ON THE RECALL BY CALLING IT A WARRANTY EXTENSION. WHEN PEOPLE LIKE ME EXPERIENCE THE PROBLEM AND FOLLOW UP, THEY ARE PREPARED WITH A CASCADING NUMBER OF WAYS TO SAY "SO SORRY", BUT NONE OF THEM OWN UP TO THEIR ORIGINAL COMMITMENT TO THE PUBLIC AND THE NHTSA TO CONDUCT AND EXECUTE A FULL RECALL ON THIS SAFETY ISSUE. VERY SLICK, AND VERY UNETHICAL. I AM HOPING THAT THE NHTSA WILL CONDUCT A FULL INVESTIGATION, NOT JUST FOR ME, BUT TO EVENTUALLY FORCE NISSAN TO HONOR THE RECALL ON ALL VEHICLES THAT EXPERIENCE THIS PROBLEM - NOT JUST A FEW VINS THEY NAMED SO THEY CAN SAVE MONEY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHTS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE DIAGNOSIS WAS THE FAULTY RADIATOR CONTAMINATED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 112,000. RK UPDATED 8/28/14*CN UPDATED 09/8/2014 *JS

I AM YET ANOTHER VICTIM OF THE TRANSMISSION/RADIATOR PROBLEM ALONG WITH HUNDREDS, POSSIBLY THOUSANDS OF OTHER CUSTOMERS. DEFECTIVE RADIATOR ALLOWED COOLANT TO MIX WITH TRANSMISSION WHICH IS NOW OUTRAGEOUSLY EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR. *TR

FOLLOW UP TO COMPLAINT 10584635 -- TIMING CHAIN FAILURE RESULTING IN CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE. KNOWN ISSUE BY NISSAN, BUT HIDDEN FROM CONSUMER. NISSAN HAS ISSUED SEVERAL SERVICE BULLETINS RELATED TO DEFECTIVE TIMING CHAINS, AND NOTED THAT THESE CAN RESULT IN CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURES, EXACTLY AS OCCURRED. DANGEROUS. NO WARNING AND COMPLETE FAILURE ON A BUSY ROADWAY, WITH LOSS OF THE ABILITY TO MANEUVER AND EXTREMELY HINDERED ABILITY TO GET TO SAFETY IN TIME. HAD I BEEN GOING FASTER THAN 35MPH, OR HAD I BEEN ON A FREEWAY, THIS COULD HAVE BEEN DEADLY. I DISCOVERED A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT REGARDING THIS ISSUE, AND IT APPEARS THIS IS AFFECTING THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE. NISSAN SOLD VEHICLES AFTER IT KNEW ABOUT THE TIMING CHAIN DEFECTS (THE BULLETINS WENT OUT IN 2005, AND THIS VEHICLE WAS A 2006). NISSAN DECEPTIVELY KEPT THIS FROM CONSUMERS. TIMING CHAIN DEFECTS OCCUR TYPICALLY AFTER WARRANTY EXPIRATION, AND THEY DO NOT MAKE YOU AWARE OF THE POTENTIAL PRIOR. CONSUMER UNFAIRLY BURDENED WITH FULL LOSS OF ENGINE AND NEARLY THE ENTIRE VALUE OF THEIR VEHICLE. *TR

WHILE RETURNING HOME, THE VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER AND POWER STEERING. DIFFICULTY NAVIGATING TO SAFETY ON THE SIDE OF A BUSY ROADWAY. THE ENGINE IN THE VEHICLE HAD COMPLETELY SEIZED. COMPLAINTS TO NISSAN THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THIS VEHICLE HAD BEEN ONGOING. THE ENTIRE FUEL SYSTEM HAD FAILED AT 40K MILES. BOTH CATALYTIC CONVERTERS FAILED AT 55K MILES (THOUGHT TO BE RELATED TO AN ENGINE PROBLEM, BUT THEY WOULD NOT FIX IT EVEN UNDER WARRANTY). AT 63K MILES, THE ENGINE STARTED TO SHOW SIGNS OF PROBLEMS. REPEATED ANALYSIS, FOR WHICH I PAID, RESULTED IN NO CONCLUSION. ONLY THAT "SOMETHING WAS WRONG". TRIED TO ENGAGE NISSAN MULTIPLE TIMES TO FIX THIS. THEY REFUSED. NOW, THE ENGINE HAS FAILED ENTIRELY. NISSAN WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE DEFECTIVE MANUFACTURING. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW AND HAS BEEN METICULOUSLY MAINTAINED. THE ENGINE FAILURE AND THE RESULTING LOSS OF THE ABILITY TO MANEUVER OR OPERATE THE VEHICLE WAS, THANKFULLY, ON A ROAD THAT HAD A LOW SPEED LIMIT. SUBSEQUENT RESEARCH RELATED TO THIS ISSUE SHOWS THAT THERE IS A CLASS ACTION AGAINST NISSAN FOR PREMATURE ENGINE FAILURES IN THESE VEHICLES, AND THAT THEY ALLEGEDLY HID KNOWN ISSUES AND WERE DECEPTIVE TO CONSUMERS. *TR

ON MY WAY TO WORK, 4/13/2014, SUNDAY A.M. SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER (NO FORWARD MOTION) I HAD TO IMMEDIATELY PULL OVER TO THE SLOW LANE AND STOPPED. THERE WAS NO OTHER OPTION ON ALAMEDA BLVD. ALL LANES ON BOTH SIDES OF THE BLVD. HAD TO TOW TO CARSON NISSAN, THEY INSPECTED THE TRANSMISSION AND SAID IT WAS BAD DUE TO THE RADIATOR...... I HAVE NOTICED OTHER COMPLAINTS AND I AM WONDERING IF THIS SITE IS WORTHWHILE I TRULY HOPE SO, PLEASE AND THANK YOU..... *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED. UPON INSPECTION, IT WAS FOUND THAT THE FUEL TANK WAS EMPTY ALTHOUGH THE FUEL GAUGE INDICATED THAT IT WAS 3/4 FULL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 10V075000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,000.

REPORT RECEIPT DATE: MAR 03, 2010 NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V075000 COMPONENT(S): FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE I WAS TOLD BY NISSAN OF USA THAT OUR VEHICLE, EVEN THOUGH IT FALLS WITHIN THE DATE OF THE CAMPAIGN, DOES NOT MEET THE RECALL DUE TO THE VIN AND NOT THE YEAR OF VEHICLE. OUR VEHICLE EXHIBITS THE SYMPTOMS AND BASIS FOR THE RECALL AND I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY IT ISN'T COVERED BY NISSAN. *TR

I BOUGHT MY 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER IN FOR REGULAR MAINTENANCE, DURING THE DEALER INSPECTION THEY NOTICED A NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. THE NOISE IS A WHINING SOUND AND I THOUGHT NOTHING OF THE NOISE UNTIL THEY STATED THAT ITS THE TIMING CHAIN AND THAT IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. FROM THE RESEARCH I DID THE TIMING CHAIN IS SUPPOSED TO BE A NON-SERVICEABLE ITEM AND SHOULD LAST THE ENTIRE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION I FOUND THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN DEFECT THAT NISSAN MOTOR CORP IS AWARE OF. NISSAN MOTOR CORP HAD ISSUED TSB'S FOR THIS ITEM AND THEY HAVE EVEN BEEN PART OF A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. WHY WERE NISSAN OWNERS NOT MADE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE? NOW I AM FACED WITH A $1,500 REPAIR DECISION. FROM WHAT I HAVE ALSO READ IF THIS CHAIN BREAKS IT CAN HAVE SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES FOR THE DRIVER, WHY HAS NISSAN NOT SET UP A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. *TR

WE BOUGHT THIS NISSAN NEW IN 2006 -GREAT LITTLE TRUCK. BUT RECENTLY THE ENGINE WOULD STALL AND ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH CAME ON. TOOK IT TO OUR MECHANIC HE SAID IT WAS A TRAN CODE TOOK IT TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THE COOLANT HAD GOTTEN INTO THE TRANS OR VISE VERSA (A LOT TO TAKE IN),SO I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR. I FOUND THIS ISSUE ON YOUR WEBSITE FOR A RECALL BUT MY VEHICLE WAS WITHIN THE YEARS OF THE RECALL BUT IT HAS OVER 100,000 IT HAS130 SO THE DEALERSHIP SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO TO HELP WITH THE $5500 BILL THEY JUST QUOTED ME. IS THERE ANY HELP OUT THERE FOR ME ON THIS ISSUE??? PLEASE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING AT POSTED SPEED WHEN MY VEHICLE RAN OUT OF GAS. THE FUEL GAUGE SHOWED THAT I HAD 1/2 TANK, NEARLY CAUSING A CRASH. I AM A FORMER MEMPHIS POLICE OFFICER WITH EXTENSIVE DEFENSIVE DRIVING. MY TRUCK IS NOT UNDER THE RECALL. BUT, IT IS IN THE DATE RANGE. I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT ALSO ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION COOLANT PROBLEM ALSO! [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, THE FUEL LEVEL INDICATOR WOULD REGISTER THE FUEL TANK AS EMPTY WHEN IT WAS FULL. THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN WITH THE FUEL TANK FULL. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10V517000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING) AND HAD EXPERIENCED THE FAILURE RECURRINGLY HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.

SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON AND FUEL GAUGE WENT TO EMPTY. DISTANCE TO EMPTY WAS ERRATIC, HOWEVER SLOWLY RECOVERED. FILLED VEHICLE WITH GAS EVEN THOUGH IT WAS ONLY ON 1/4 TANK. SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT CONTINUES TO STAY ON AND FUEL GAUGE REMAINS ON EMPTY. I HAVE SEEN MANY POSTS ONLINE WITH PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. THIS IS AN ISSUE NISSAN SHOULD REMEDY DUE TO SO MANY HAVING THIS PROBLEM. *TR

MY NISSAN FRONTIER BEGAN MAKING A SLIGHT ENGINE NOISE AT ABOUT 30,000 MILES ( I AM HEARING IMPAIRED). THE NOISE BECAME MORE NOTICEABLE WHEN ACCELERATING. AT ABOUT 39,000 MILES SOMEONE ELSE HEARD THE NOISE AND TOLD ME MY TIMING CHAINS WERE ABOUT TO BREAK DUE TO A COMMON NISSAN DEFECT AND NOT TO DRIVE THE CAR AS THE ENGINE COULD LOCK UP WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT ANY WARNING. ALTHOUGH THERE WAS A SERVICE BULLETIN BY NISSAN IN 2007 AND 2009 (NTB09-128) I WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE DANGER OF DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. I FEEL THE TIMING CHAIN TENSIONING SYSTEM IS DEFECTIVE ON THESE VEHICLES AND IS DANGEROUS TO THE PUBLIC. IF THE SYSTEM FAILS THE DRIVER WOULD BE UNABLE TO ACCELERATE OR MAINTAIN THEIR SPEED AND EXPOSE THEM TO THE RISK OF BEING REAR ENDED IF THEIR VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLS. I WOULD NOT HAVE EXPECTED AN ENGINE WITH ONLY 30,000 MILES TO FAIL. HAD THEY NOTIFIED ME IN 2007 OR 2009 OF THE PROBLEM I COULD HAVE HAD IT REPAIRED UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY. I HAD TO PAY TO HAVE THIS COMMON AND DANGEROUS DEFECT REPAIRED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC AND ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS FAULTY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURE WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE.

THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FUEL GAUGE TO SHOWS THAT THE VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY ONE QUARTER TANK WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS EMPTY. FOUND OUT THAT THE FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT INSIDE THE FUEL TANK DOSE NOT WORK SOMETIME .WHEN WE FILL THE FUEL TANK THE FUEL GAUGE WILL DROP TO EMPTY AN SHOWS THAT WE DON'T HAVE FUEL. *TR

NISSAN HAS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM WITH FAULTY FUEL SENSOR SENDING UNIT ON FRONTIER AND XTERRA TRUCKS. THIS CAUSES THE GAS GAUGE TO STOP WORKING AND RECORD INACCURATE FUEL LEVEL. THE FUEL GAUGE WILL SHOW EMPTY WHEN TANK IS FULL. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AS VEHICLE OWNER DOES NOT KNOW HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN THE TANK AND COULD RUN OUT OF GAS ON AN INTERSTATE/HIGHWAY OR MOVING THROUGH INTERSECTION, GOING ONTO HIGHWAY EXCHANGES ETC. THIS PUTS DRIVER AND OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD AT RISK. I CALLED NISSAN AND THEY WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THIS PART EVEN THOUGH IT IS DEFECTIVE. I EVEN WENT AS FAR TO ASK THEM IF I PAID FOR THE PART (~$100) WOULD THEY COVER THE LABOR (THE FUEL TANK NEEDS TO BE DROPPED TO CHANGE THE DEFECTIVE SENSOR). THEY SAID NO. *TR

MY NISSAN DEALER TOLD ME I NEED TIMING CHAIN GUIDES AND IT WOULD COST ME $1600.00, THEN I GO ON LINE AND NISSAN NEW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM IN 2009. THEY SAID IF I HAD 60,000 MILES THEY WOULD HAVE COVERED THIS, THEY NEW THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEN AND DID NOT TELL ME. THIS IS FRAUD AND SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT THIS.THIS PROBLEM IS HAPPENING ALL OVER THE COUNTRY ON THESE VEHICLES. WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT THIS? *TR

DRIVING GOING 50 TRUNK SHUT OFF,LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY.IT HAPPENED AROUND 10 MORE TIMES OVER A MONTH BEFORE IT JUST QUIT.NOT HAVING HIGH MILEAGE ON THE TRUCK NOW OR AT THE TIME OF RECEIVING A WARRANTY NOTIFICATION BACK IN 2012 NEVER THOUGHT OF IT.SO WE HAD IT TOWED TO PUT ON A FUEL PUMP THAT IT DID NOT NEED $400.00 STILL WILL NOT START .I STARTED LOOKING UP REVIEWS ON NISSAN TO FIND OUT THAT NISSAN HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS IN 2007 .I STILL OWE $3600.00 ON THIS TRUCK ,BOUGHT IT NEW WITH 24 MILES ON A LEASE... LOVED IT...SO AFTER MY LEASE WAS UP I REFINANCED 2010 WITH 41501 MILES BOUGHT A 3 YR EXTENDED WARRANTY,NEVER USED IT .NOW AFTER LEARNING ABOUT A CO - PAY FOR A TRUCK REALLY NISSAN ...MY TRUCK HAS 81000 MILES ..I DON'T HAVE 2500.00 TO PUT IN IT .TIME FOR NISSAN TO RECALL IT,AND FACE IT YOU HAVE A PROBLEM NISSAN .PLEASE I NEED HELP. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER WITH CROSS CONTAMINATION OF RADIATOR FLUID AND TRANSMISSION FLUID. THE DEALER STATES THE KNOWN DEFECT IS BEYOND THE 100,000 MILE CUTOFF FOR THE EXTEND MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY THAT DEALS WITH THIS COMMON AND WELL KNOWN DEFECT. THE ESTIMATED COST OF REPAIR IS 4800.00 WITH THE FULL BURDEN RESTING ON ME FOR A COMMON AND WELL KNOWN MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED HAD NISSAN RECALLED THE VEHICLES AND MADE THE REPAIRS AS SOON AS THEY WERE AWARE. THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT BUT AGAIN MY VEHICLE IS OUTSIDE OF THE PARAMETERS OF THE LAWSUIT. I DON'T QUITE KNOW WHAT TO DO AS I LIKE MOST EVERYONE DON'T HAVE $5000.00 SITTING AROUND AND UNFORTUNATELY MY CREDIT IS IN HORRIBLE SHAPE SO I CAN'T GET A LOAN TO PAY FOR IT NOR CAN I QUALIFY FOR A LOAN TO TRADE IT IN. HOW IN THE WORLD CAN I EVER JUSTIFY BUYING ANOTHER NISSAN PRODUCT KNOWING THEY DON'T PRODUCE A SAFE, QUALITY PRODUCT AND THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO FIX DEFECTIVE EQUIPMENT. *TR

THE TRUCK WOULD GET A SHUDDER/VIBRATION THAT SHOOK THE WHOLE TRUCK AT AROUND 45 AND 60 MILES PER HOUR AND WOULD NOT SHIFT PROPERLY. A NISSAN DEALER VERIFIED THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAD BEEN CROSS CONTAMINATED WITH COOLANT FLUID. I WAS LIVID TO LEARN THAT NISSAN KNEW ABOUT THIS ISSUE SINCE 2007 BUT DID NOT TELL ME ABOUT THE DEFECT WHEN I TOOK THE TRUCK FOR MAINTENANCE (A TRANSMISSION FLUID EXCHANGE) IN 2010 WHEN I HAD 68,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK. I WAS ROBBER OF THE OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE ACTION EVEN AT MY OWN COST THAT WOULD HAVE PREVENTED THIS CATASTROPHIC FAILURE. NISSAN REFUSES TO PAY ANYTHING TOWARDS THE COST CITING THE SETTLEMENT IN THE CLASS ACTION. I WAS TOLD THE TERMS OF THE SETTLEMENT WOULD NOT ALLOW NISSAN TO COVER ANYTHING AFTER 100,000 MILES. I REFUSED TO ALLOW THE DEALER TO FIX IT BECAUSE THEY DID NOT GIVE ME A WARNING WHEN I WAS HAVING THE ROUTINE MAINTENANCE DONE ON THE TRANI AND BECAUSE NISSAN WILL NEVER GET ANOTHER PENNY FROM ME. THE SERVICE TECH AT THE NISSAN DEALER TOLD ME NOT TO BUY AN AFTER MARKET RADIATOR BECAUSE IT WOULD BE BASED ON THE OLD RADIATOR DESIGN SO I COULD HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM OF CROSS CONTAMINATION AGAIN. HE SAID NISSAN HAD A NEW RADIATOR. CLEARLY SOUNDS LIKE A MANUFACTURER DESIGN DEFECT. ALSO, I READ THAT IT IS FOR 2005-2010 NISSANS BUT I SPOKE WITH THE OWNER OF A 2011 NISSAN FRONTIER WHO TOLD ME HE HAD THE CROSS CONTAMINATION BUT BECAUSE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY, NISSAN HAD TO PAY TO FIX EVERYTHING. THE FACT THAT NISSAN KNOWS ABOUT THIS BUT IS NOT BEING PROACTIVE IN LETTING CUSTOMERS KNOW THAT THERE COULD BE A PROBLEM IS IRRESPONSIBLE. I HAD TO PAY $5200 TO FIX THE TRANI AND RADIATOR, $110 FOR THE DEALER TO CONFIRM CROSS CONTAMINATION, $104 FOR TOWING AND $330 FOR A RENTAL CAR. THIS IS 180 DEGREES FROM HOW HONDA IS TREATING THE RECENTLY ANNOUNCED COOLING FLUID LEAK THEY HAVE. HONDA IS EXTENDING THE WARRANTY 10 YEARS WITH UNLIMITED MILES. *TR

WAS PARKED AT STORE WITH TRUCK RUNNING WHEN IT RAN HOT. WITH FURTHER LOOK IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION OIL MIXING WITH THE COOLANT. REPLACED RADIATOR. NOW TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING AND NOW NOT PULLING. *TR

THE NISSAN FRONTIER RADIATOR CONTAMINATED THE TRANSMISSION WITH COOLANT THUS CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION TO MALFUNCTION IN A BUSY TRAFFIC AREA. THIS ISSUE CAUSED MY VEHICLE TO SHUTTER THUS FORCING THE TRAFFIC TO THE REAR OF ME TO LOCK UP BRAKES TO AVOID HITTING ME. TO MY DISMAY, THIS PROBLEM IS KNOWN BY NISSAN WHO REFUSES TO FIX THE ISSUES. TO PROVE THE ISSUE IS LARGER THAN NISSAN ADMITS, CHOOSE TRANSMISSION REPAIR SHOPS IN ANY AREA, MAKE A PHONE CALL AND TELL THEM YOU OWN A NISSAN FRONTIER, YOU WILL NEED SAY NO MORE, THE SHOP MANAGER WILL WITHOUT PROMPT SAY "YOU HAVE TRANSMISSION ISSUES DUE TO THE RADIATOR CONTAMINATING THE TRANSMISSION, YOU WILL HAVE TO REBUILD/REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION." IT IS UP TO THE NHTSA TO PROTECT THE CONSUMER FROM FRAUDULENT COMPANIES SUCH AS NISSAN. A RECALL IS THE ONLY COURSE OF ACTION...MOST CONSUMERS CANNOT AFFORD THE COST OF A TRANSMISSION (UPWARDS OR 7000 DOLLARS) AND WILL DRIVE THEIR NISSAN REGARDLESS OF THE DANGER THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPAGE CAUSES. IT IS NOW TIME FOR THE RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED OR KILLED. *TR

ABOUT 1 YR AGO FUEL GAUGE STOPPED REGISTERING-WAS UNAWARE OF ISSUES,NEVER RECEIVED NOTICE OF ISSUES AND PAST MILEAGE FOR WARRANTY. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO AFFORD TO FIX IT,SO WE ARE CONSTANTLY WORRIED ABOUT RUNNING OUT OF GAS. IN AUGUST OF THIS YEAR,TRUCK RUNNING ROUGH,HESITATING IN LOW GEAR. HAD OUR MECHANIC FLUSH TRANSMISSION,BUT STARTED AGAIN AND GOT INTENSELY WORSE THE PAST 2 MONTHS. UNABLE TO AFFORD TO FIX,WE HAD TO WAIT,BUT FINALLY NO CHOICE BUT TO TAKE IT IN. RADIATOR LEAKING INTO TRANSMISSION,SEALS CRACKED,ETC. GOING TO COST 3100 TO FIX. CALLED NISSAN,BUT THEY BASICALLY TOLD ME I WAS OUT OF LUCK AS TRUCK PAST MILEAGE FOR STANDARD AND EXTENDED WARRANTIES (THAT THEY CHARGE YOU FOR,KNOWING THERE IS FAULTY TRANSMISSION). *TR

WAS DRIVING FINE UP TO THE POINT WHERE WE SEEMED TO HAVE LOST ALL ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. WHEN WE PRESSED THE GAS, IT APPEARED TO BE IN NEUTRAL, ALTHOUGH IT WASN'T. THIS HAPPENED AS WE DROVE DOWN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. WE ENDED UP COASTING TO THE SIDE AND PUT THE TRUCK INTO PARK, THEN REENGAGED THE GEAR SHIFT INTO DRIVE, IT THEN TOOK OFF AND WE SLOWLY DROVE TO A PARKING LOT BEFORE IT FAILED AGAIN. NO WARNING SIGNS ON THE DASH INDICATED A PROBLEM (STILL NO INDICATION) OR ANY SIGN OF TROUBLE BEFORE THE TRANSMISSION JUST FAILS. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS YEAR AND STYLE OF TRUCK AND NO ONE MADE US AWARE. WE HAVE HAD THIS TRUCK SINCE WE BOUGHT IT NEW, NEVER RECEIVED ANY NOTIFICATION OF THE KNOWN DEFECT FROM NISSAN. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE TO KNOW THE RADIATOR LEAKS INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND CAUSES TRANSMISSION FAILURE. WE WOULD HAVE HAD THIS REPLACED PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. *TR

FUEL GAUGE IS NO LONGER ACCURATE. NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID # 10V075000 WAS ISSUED FOR 2006 NISSAN FRONTIERS. I CALLED NISSAN BUT THEY SAID MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. APPARENTLY THEY THINK IT'S JUST A COINCIDENCE THAT I'M HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM WITH MY 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. "NISSAN IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2006 AND MODEL YEAR 2008 FRONTIER, XTERRA AND PATHFINDER VEHICLES. THE MOLDED FUEL TANK SHELLS CAN DEFORM, CAUSING THE FUEL SENDER FLOAT ARM TO CONTACT AN EMBOSSMENT MOLDED INTO THE TANK SHELL CAUSING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FUEL GAUGE TO SHOW THAT THE VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY ONE QUARTER TANK WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS EMPTY. FUEL GAUGE READS JUST UNDER A QUARTER TANK AT ALL TIMES, NO MATTER IF THE TANK IS EMPTY OR FULL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO VIBRATE BEFORE STALLING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE COOLING UNIT INSIDE HAD RUPTURED. THE FAILURE CAUSED COOLANT TO LEAK INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND TRANSMISSION FLUID TO LEAK INTO THE RADIATOR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 124,000.

MY 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER HAS AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID IN THE RADIATOR, AND RADIATOR COOLANT IN THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. THE TRANSMISSION IS NOW SHIFTING IMPROPERLY. *TR

BRAKES CANNOT BE PROPERLY FIXED DUE TO DEFECTIVE REAR AXLE SEALS LEAKING FLUID ONTO BRAKE PADS AND CALIPERS. HAVE HAD ALL BRAKES REPAIRED AND VEHICLE STILL DOES NOT BRAKE CORRECTLY OR SAFELY. I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS CLOSE CALLS DUE TO AXLE FLUID ON THE REAR BRAKE PADS.NISSAN REFUSES TO PROVIDE A RECALL EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER, 75,000. *TR

I USE MY TRUCK EVERY DAY. I STARTED TO GETTING PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION. I DID A DIAGNOSTIC ON THE TRANSMISSION AND IT CAME THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS INFECTED AND IT NEED TO BE CHANGE. I JUST GOT THESE TRUCK LIKE 4 MONTH AGO. *TR

AT LOW SPEEDS THE TRANSMISSION STUTTERS / HESITATES. I'VE BEEN TOLD BY NISSAN THAT I NEED A NEW VALVE BODY. I BELIEVE MY VEHICLE SUFFERS FROM THE RADIATOR / TRANSMISSION ISSUES AS EXPERIENCED BY MANY OTHER CUSTOMERS. *TR

VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHIFT UPWARD AND DOWNWARD ERRATICALLY AT VARIOUS SPEEDS AND RPM. IT WOULD ALSO SHAKE AND SHUDDER LIKE THE WHOLE VEHICLE WAS ON A ROCKY ROAD -- EVERYTHING VIBRATING FROM THE FRAME TO THE STEERING WHEEL. VERY SUDDEN, ALARMING, AND DISCONCERTING. *TR

WHEN SET IN D, THE RPM'S DROPPED. NEXT DAY DRIVING 20 SEC. AND LOOSES ALL POWER. CAN SHIFT THE GEAR STICK, BUT THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT ENGAGE. NO AUDIBLE WARNING OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. JUST STOPPED DRIVING. GOT CODE P1759 AND P1769. NEEDS NEW TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR BECAUSE THE COOLANT LEAKED INTO TRANSMISSION. $5500 IS THE QUOTE FROM THE DEALER. *TR

THE RED AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND HAS REMAINED ON. ADDITIONALLY, THE ROUND YELLOW LIGHT ON THE LOWER PART OF THE DASH SHOWS PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAG NOT ON BOTH WHEN OCCUPIED AND UNOCCUPIED. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO HAVE NATIONAL PARTS SHOP CHAINS ATTEMPT TO DETERMINE THE REASON, BUT THEY ALL SAY THEY CANNOT DO SO. THE DEALER'S COST FOR ANY READOUTS IS ALWAYS COST PROHIBITIVE. *TR

THE VEHICLE STRUGGLE TO ACCELERATE WHEN PRESSING ON THE ACCELERATOR. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER THAT IS HAVING COMPLETE TRANSMISSION FAILURE DUE TO THE KNOWN ISSUE OF RADIATOR FLUID CONTAMINATING THE LINES TO THE TRANSMISSION AND CAUSING INTERNAL FAILURE. I HAVE BEEN QUOTED $5,000 IN REPAIRS FOR THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION. THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST NISSAN FOR THIS VERY ISSUE FOR SEVERAL MODELS. THE DEALERSHIP ACKNOWLEDGED THE LAWSUIT, HOWEVER, SAID A SETTLEMENT OR RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED AT THIS POINT AND THEY COULD NOT DISCUSS IT ANY FURTHER WITH ME. THEY SUGGESTED I TRADE THE CAR IN AND BUY ANOTHER FROM THEM, EVEN SUGGESTING ANOTHER FRONTIER. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER AND FOR THE LAST 9 OR 10 MONTHS IT BECOMES "HERKY-JERKY" AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. I ONLY DRIVE THIS VEHICLE IN THE WINTER SO YESTERDAY I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND TODAY THEY INFORMED ME THE COOLANT HAD LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THE COST FOR THE REPAIR IS $6500. I ASKED THEM IF THIS WAS SOMETHING NORMAL AND THEY SAID IT WAS UNUSUAL. I DID SOME CHECKING ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND OUT THERE WAS A SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT REGARDING THIS DEFECT. OTHER SITES DIRECTED ME TO MAKE A COMPLAINT WITH YOU BECAUSE THIS APPEARS TO BE A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM AND DUE TO THE FACT THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT WAS ESSENTIALLY WORTHLESS. GIVEN THIS I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT WITH YOU IN HOPES THIS WILL TURN INTO A RECALL. ALSO, MADE A CLAIM TODAY WITH NISSAN AND EXPECTING A CASE WORKER TO CALL BACK TOMORROW. IF THEY DO NOT AGREE TO PAY FOR THE COST OF THE DAMAGE I WILL TAKE THEM TO SMALL CLAIMS. OF NOTE, I HAVE ONLY SUED ONE ENTITY BEFORE IN MY LIFE (49YO) AND IT WAS NISSAN BACK IN 1997 AND I WON. IT WAS A DEFECT IN THE WIRING OF MY PREVIOUS FRONTIER. I CAN SAY NISSAN LIKES TO PLAY HARD BALL AND NOT SETTLE OR ADMIT TO ANY OF THEIR FAULTS. I GAVE THEM MORE THAN SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE AND WAS VERY PATIENT IN THIS PRIOR CLAIM, BUT THEY KEPT DENYING. I LEARNED MY LESSON THAT TIME AND THIS TIME I WILL NOT BE SO PATIENT AND WILL INFORM THEM I WILL TAKEN MORE EXPEDITIOUSLY THIS TIME. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THERE WAS A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER STEERING WITHOUT WARNING. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE FAILED TO DISPLAY ACCURATE FUEL LEVELS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS ADVISED THAT THE FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT INSIDE THE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. ALSO, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS ADVISED THAT THE RADIATOR FLUID WAS LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION. AS A RESULT, THE RADIATOR, THE POWER TRANSMISSION, AND STEERING SHAFT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V075000(FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 102,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS WHERE IT WAS STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKED INTO THE RADIATOR AND THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO SHIFT INTO REVERSE, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS ADVISED THAT THE RADIATOR FLUID WAS LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION. AS A RESULT, THE RADIATOR AND THE POWER TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 106,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

MY 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER SE CREW CAB CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AT ABOUT 100,000 MILES. I READ THE CODE AND IT INDICATED THAT AN EMISSION PROBLEM (I.E. A SENSOR OR CATALYTIC ISSUE) WAS THE MATTER. SOON AFTER THE TRUCK BEGAN TO EXHIBIT A STRANGE VIBRATION IN WHAT APPEARED TO BE THE ENGINE SPECIFICALLY AROUND 40-45 MPH. I BROUGHT THE TRUCK IN AT 101,000 MILES TO HAVE IT SERVICED AT THE DEALERSHIP. THEY DETERMINED THAT NOT ONLY DID THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER NEED REPLACING BUT ALSO THERE WAS RADIATOR FLUID IN THE TRANSMISSION AND THE BILL WAS OVER $6,000. I DECLINED THE SERVICE AND IMMEDIATELY CALLED NISSAN NORTH AMERICA. THEY EXPLAINED THAT I WAS 1000 MILES OVER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND WISHED ME TO HAVE A NICE LABOR DAY WEEKEND. *JS

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND NOTICE SMOKE COMING FROM NEAR (IT TURNS OUT IT WAS COMING FROM UNDERNEATH) ABOUT FEW SECONDS LATER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS FLASHING, MY NISSAN PICKUP ENGINE LOST SOME SPEED AND IT APPEARS TO HAVE LOST POWER AS WELL BECAUSE IT WAS NOT ACCELERATING. I TOOK IT FOR INSPECTION TO 2 DIFFERENT AUTO SHOPS LOCALLY AND HAVE GOTTEN THE SAME REPORTS FROM BOTH SHOPS.I HAVE A BAD TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR COOLANT LEAKS SEEMS TO HAVE CAUSED THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE. I HAVE TAKEN MY PICKUP TO NISSAN AFTER LEARNING ABOUT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY TO ROSEVILLE FUTURE NISSAN AND THEY SEEMS HAVE AGREED ABOUT THIS KNOWN ISSUE. THEY SAID NISSAN HAS EXTENDED THE WARRANTY UP TO 100K MILES (SO TECHNICAL IT SHOULD BE COVERED), HOWEVER THEY ARE ASKING FOR 3000K FOR DEDUCTIBLE. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND THEY SAID THEY ARE WAITING FOR COURT TO DECIDE ON THIS KNOWN ISSUE AND WILL NOT BE ABLE TO HELP UNTIL IT'S RESOLVED. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND OUT I WAS NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS ISSUE. PLEASE HELP AND ADVISE IF I NEED TO TAKE ACTION AGAINST NISSAN AS THIS IS CLEARLY A KNOWN ISSUE AND THEY SHOULD NOT BE ASKING FOR 3K.

I GOT A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON MY NISSAN FRONTIER AND BROUGHT IT TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP TO HAVE CHECKED AND WAS TOLD I WOULD NEED TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR BECAUSE ENGINE COOLANT HAS LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND IS DESTROYING THE TRANSMISSION A QUICK SEARCH IT SEEMS THERE ARE HUNDREDS IF NOT MORE OF PEOPLE WITH THIS SAME ISSUE OF NISSAN HAVING A POOR DESIGN AND PUTTING MANY PEOPLE AT RISK BY HAVING THEIR TRANSMISSIONS SEIZE UP AT ANY GIVEN TIME WHILE DRIVING. HAVING COOLANT LEAK INTO THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT A NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR ISSUE AND IS GROSS NEGLIGENCE ON BEHALF OF NISSAN TO IGNORE THIS PROBLEM. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER SE 4X4 CREW CAB WITH 143396 MILES AND GOING ABOUT 40-45 MILES PER HRS I HEAR A CHATTER IN THE REAR OF THE TRUCK. MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH A NISSAN DEALER IN MY AREA AND THE OUT COME WAS .. THE TRUCK NEEDS A TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR REPLACEMENT AND IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY THE REPLACEMENT AT THE DEALER WOULD BE A COST TO ME OF 5132.13 . NISSAN HAD A CLASS ACTION SUITE IN NEW YORK AND THE ONLY WIN FOR US CONSUMERS WAS THAT THEY EXTENDED THE MILEAGE TO 100,000 . I CALLED NISSAN AND WAS INFORMED THAT IF I HAD 120,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK THAT THERE WOULD BE A COVER UNDER THE WARRANTY. NISSAN KNOWS THAT THERE IS A ISSUE WITH TRANNY AND RADIATOR BUT THEY DID NO RECALLS SO NOW WE ARE STUCK. IF YOU ARE ON A FIXED INCOME WHO HAS OVER 5000.00 DOLLARS LAYING A ROUND FOR THIS KIND OF REPAIR . I CAN STILL DRIVE THE TRUCK BUT ITS NOT SAFE IF THE TRANNY SHUTS DOWN ON THE HWY THEN WHAT ? LOOKS LIKE A ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. CANT HAVE THAT . SO THE TRUCK WILL SIT IN MY YARD TILL I GET SOME ANSWERS THAT WILL HELP ME GET THIS ISSUE SOLVED. *TR

AS I BEGAN TO ENTER THE HIGHWAY AND INCREASE SPEED TO ABOUT 65 MPH, I NOTICED WHAT FELT TO BE A SLIP IN GEARS. EACH TIME I DECREASED BY SPEED AND INCREASED OVER 50 MPH, I COULD FEEL THE SAME TYPE OF SLIP. ALTHOUGH I DRIVE MY VEHICLE DAILY, IT IS USUALLY FOR VERY SHORT DISTANCES, AS I AM IN TOWN DRIVING. I HAVE ONLY NOTICED THIS SLIP OF GEARS WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE. TODAY I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSIS. I WAS INFORMED THAT I WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND WOULD HAVE A $2500 DEDUCTIBLE FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE RADIATOR & TRANSMISSION. MY VEHICLE IS PROPERLY MAINTAINED AT RECOMMENDED INTERVALS, WITH LOW MILEAGE. I CAME HOME TO DO SOME RESEARCH AND LEARNED ABOUT THE REPORTED RADIATOR/TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS FOR SOME 2005-2010 NISSAN TRUCK AND SUV MODELS. I DO NOT REMEMBER EVER RECEIVING ANY INFORMATION FROM NISSAN REGARDING THE POTENTIAL TRANSMISSION FAILURE FOR MY MAKE AND MODEL AND I AM DISAPPOINTED TO KNOW THAT A RECALL WAS NOT ISSUED, AS THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. THE SERVICE MANAGER ALSO DID NOT MENTION ANY OF THIS TO ME. THE ONLY THING THAT CLUED ME IN TO AN ISSUE WAS THAT HE MENTIONED "DEDUCTIBLE" AND THAT I WAS JUST ABOUT 3,000 MILES OVER THE WARRANTY. KNOWING THAT A POWER-TRAIN WARRANTY IS USUALLY 36/36000, I STARTED THINKING, HOW COULD I ONLY BE 3,000 MILES OUTSIDE OF THE WARRANTY? NISSAN SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE AS NUMEROUS REPORTS HAVE BEEN MADE. EXTENDING A WARRANTY TO 8/80,000 IS ALSO A JOKE, SINCE MOST OF THE REPORTED ISSUES, HAVE NOT OCCURRED UNTIL AFTER 80,000, AS IN MY CASE. I SHOULD NOT BE STUCK WITH THIS MAINTENANCE BILL; THIS IS NISSAN'S RESPONSIBILITY. SOMETIMES DOING THE RIGHT THING AS OPPOSED TO DOING THE MOST PROFITABLE IS IN ORDER. TOO BAD NISSAN DOES NOT CARE ENOUGH TO KEEP THEIR CUSTOMERS SATISFIED, BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, SAFE! *TR

I HAD DRIVEN APROX 20 MILES ON INTERSTATE WHEN I NOTICED WHEN TRUCK SHIFTED BETWEEN 4TH AND OVERDRIVE THE MOTOR WAS RACING. I TURNED OFF CRUISE CONTROL AND TURNED OF THE OVERDRIVE WITH THE TRAILER SWITCH. I STOPPED AT STATION CHECKED FLUIDS BUT EVERYTHING SEEMED OK. WHEN LEAVING STATION THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING WHEN SHIFTING. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT HOME. NEXT DAY TRANSMISSION SHOP TOLD ME TRANSMISSION WOULD NEED TO BE REBUILT. AFTER GOOGLE INFO I TOLD SHOP TO ALSO REPLACE RADIATOR ALSO. I GOT THE TRUCK BACK 2 WEEKS LATER. AFTER 5 DAYS OF DRIVING WHILE TRAVELING HOME FROM JOB. TRANSMISSION LOCKED UP AND TRUCK CAME TO STOP IN MIDDLE OF ROAD. I LOOKED UNDER HOOD AND FOUND OIL IN RADIATOR. THE TRUCK WAS TOWED BACK TO SHOP. COME TO FIND OUT THE SHOP HAD REPLACED WITH USED RADIATOR. THE SAME THING HAD HAPPENED AGAIN WHERE ANTIFREEZE MIXED WITH TRANSMISSION OIL CAUSING EXTENSIVE DAMAGE, STILL IN SHOP AND WAITING ON ITS RETURN. SPENT 12000 ON TRUCK AND IN FIRST MONTH. 400 MILES AND 3000 IN REPAIRS. AND STILL CLIMBING. *TR

TRANSMISSION COOLER FAILED CAUSING COOLANT TO MIX WITH TRANSMISSION FLUID. TRANSMISSION SUBSEQUENTLY FAILED. NISSAN WOULD NOT COVER THE REPAIR EVEN THOUGH THE PROBLEM IS A KNOWN DEFECT. ~$4000 COST OF REPAIR AND AN INDEPENDENT TRANSMISSION SHOP. *TR

WHILST TRYING TO DRIVE FORWARD, THE VEHICLE IS UNABLE TO HAVE ENOUGH MOMENTUM TO DRIVE- IN OTHER WORDS THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY. ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC I BROUGHT IT TO, I WAS ADVISED THAT HE HAS SEEN THIS HAPPEN WITH THIS MAKE/MODEL/YEAR BEFORE AND IT IS CAUSED DUE TO AN ISSUE WITH THE RADIATOR LEAKING ANTI-FREEZE INTO THE TRANSMISSION SYSTEM. *TR

HAD A BAD VIBRATION IN THE DRIVE LINE AT A LOW SPEED. THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE A U-JOINT. BEGAN A SEARCH ON LINE AND FOUND AN ARTICLE ON THE FRONTIER'S ANTI-FREEZE MIXING WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND COOLANT ENTERING THE TRANSMISSION CAUSING FAILURE. I CHECKED THE OVERFLOW TANK AND IT HAD TRANS FLUID ON TOP OF THE COOLANT AND THE RADIATOR HAD A RED FOAM COMING OUT. TOOK IT TO THE NISSAN DEALER AND IT WAS CONFIRMED. *TR

RADIATOR FLUID LEAKED INTO TRANSMISSION DUE TO FAULTY MANUFACTURING CAUSING TRANSMISSION TO BREAK AND BE CHILE TO STALL. *TR

FUEL SENDER ISSUE WAS CAUSING THE FUEL GAUGE TO NOT WORK PROPERLY. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE (10V-075) AND MY VEHICLE APPEARS TO BE COVERED AS IT WAS BUILT IN JANUARY 2006. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. I COULD NOT UNDERSTAND WHY IT WASN'T COVERED AS MY ISSUE WAS EXACTLY WHAT THE RECALL WAS FOR, BUT I NEEDED IT FIXED SO I PAID A TOTAL OF $476.67. I CALLED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS DEPT. AND OPENED A CASE (1121397) AND THEY ASKED ME TO SUBMIT THE BILL I PAID AT THE DEALERSHIP, WHICH I DID, BUT NOW WHEN I CALL THE CHECK ON THE STATUS THEY DON'T ANSWER. VOICEMAILS ARE NOT RETURNED SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON. CAN YOU HELP?? *TR

SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON AND VEHICLE DROVE SLUGGISH. HAD NO POWER. FELT LIKE IT WAS IN LOW GEAR. HAPPENED ALL OF A SUDDEN. NO PRIOR INDICATION OF TROUBLE. ALL FLUID LEVELS AND MAINTENANCE WAS PROPERLY MAINTAINED AT THE APPROPRIATE MILEAGE INTERVALS. *TR

THE TRANSMISSION STOPPED AND MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO FASTER THAN 2 MPH. I COULD NOT GET IT UPHILL. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED. IT WAS CONSTANTLY JUMPING FORWARD PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT. ON THE HIGHWAY IT FELT LIKE IT COULDN'T GET OUT OF GEAR. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTED INTO SECOND GEAR. THE FRONTIER IMMEDIATELY SLOWED DOWN. I WAS DRIVING IN FRONT OF A TRACTOR TRAILER AND JUST MISSED GETTING REAR ENDED. I'VE SINCE FOUND OUT THAT NISSAN HAS BEEN AWARE OF THE RADIATOR LEAKING AND CROSS CONTAMINATING WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND BLOWING OUT THE TRANSMISSION. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION WITH THESE VEHICLES INVOLVED AND NISSAN SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR CORRECTING THEIR DEFECT REGARDLESS OF VEHICLE MILEAGE. THIS VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND FIXED. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT 40-45 MPH I WOULD GET A VERY LOUD HARSH VIBRATION THAT FELT SIMILAR TO DRIVING OVER ONE OF THE WARNING STRIPS ON SIDE OF HIGHWAYS WARNING YOU YOU'RE GOING OFF ROAD. IT ALSO EVENTUAL WOULD BARELY MOVE FROM A STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. TOOK IT TO LOCAL TRANSMISSION REPAIR SHOP THAT INFORMED ME THE COOLANT FROM RADIATOR LEAKED INTO TRANS CAUSING THE FAILURE. LOOKS LIKE I'M GETTING A NEW TRANS AND RADIATOR. NISSAN NEEDS TO RECALL AND REIMBURSE ALL THESE PPL SPENDING THOUSANDS ON WHAT IS OBVIOUSLY A FACTORY DEFECT. I SEE COMPLAINT AFTER COMPLAINT OF THE EXACT PROBLEM I AM HAVING. THANKS A GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE. HOPEFULLY NISSAN DOES THE RIGHT THING. *TR

I BOUGHT A USED 2006 FRONTIER 2 YEARS AGO AND ONLY PUT 20,000 MILES ON IT AND NOW THE COOLANT IS MIXING WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND THEY WANT TO PAY 2500 DOLLARS TO HELP FIX IT. AND THIS BULL CRAP. NISSAN NEEDS TO MAN UP AND STAND BEHIND THERE VEHICLES. DISSATISFIED CUSTOMERS CAN SPREAD THE WORD. NEVER BUY A NISSAN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC STOP, THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESPOND. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THE TRANSMISSION WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE RADIATOR FLUID WAS LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 91,000. *TR

PARKING/EMERGENCY BRAKE DOES NOT STOP OR HOLD CAR ON SLIGHT GRADE. CHECKED AND FOUND AXLE BEARING GREASE LEAKING ONTO DRUM AND BRAKE SHOES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION WHERE THEY STATED THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 87,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

COOLANT HAS ENTERED TRANSMISSION FLUID, THIS CAN CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO BECOME IMMOBILE IN TRAFFIC, INTERSECTIONS, ETC. *TR

HELLO, I HAVE A 2006 FRONTIER ON IT'S WAY TO THE DEALERSHIP RIGHT NOW HAVING THE RADIATOR & TRANSMISSION REPLACED. THAT IS CAUSED FROM THE COOLANT MIXING WITH THE TRANSMISSION. I DON'T KNOW HOW NISSAN CAN SAY THIS ISN'T A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN YOUR VEHICLE CAN STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF HIGHWAY TRAFFIC DUE TO YOUR TRANSMISSION DYING. RECALL NEEDED! THANK YOU! *TR

LAST TIME I CHANGED MY OIL ABOUT A MONTH AGO, THEY WERE CONFUSED AT WHY I HAD OIL IN MY RADIATOR. THEY SAID IT WAS NOT A GOOD SIGN! YESTERDAY WHEN I WAS DRIVING TO WORK, MY TRUCK HAD NO POWER AND IT EVENTUALLY STOPPED MOVING IN THE ROAD. THE TRUCK WAS RUNNING, BUT WOULD NOT ENGAGE IN A GEAR AND MOVE FORWARD. I HAD IT TAKEN TO A LOCAL SHOP TO LOOK IT OVER AND AFTER A TEST DRIVE AND LOOKING AT THE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR FLUIDS, THEY SAID I HAD A CROSS CONTAMINATION OF THE TWO SYSTEMS AND IT CAUSED THE PROBLEM. THEY CALLED THE NISSAN DEALER AND THEY SAID THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND THEY HAVE A LAW SUIT I CAN JOIN TO GET REIMBURSED FOR THE EXPENSE OF REPLACING THE CVT. (CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION) IT WILL COST ABOUT $4,200. I LOOKED ONLINE AND IT LOOKS LIKE NISSAN ALSO HAS AT CVT REPLACEMENT PROGRAM. I WISH I WOULD HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THIS SO I COULD HAVE HAD IT REPLACED AND NOT PUT IN DANGER. *TR

TRANSMISSION HAD BEGUN TO BUMP WHEN CHANGING GEARS. AT TIMES IT WAS HARD SHIFTING. ON 2-10-13 WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, THE TRUCK STARTED TO RUN HOT. I STOPPED AND HAD TO PUT WATER IN THE OVERFLOW TANK. CONTINUED ON THE INTERSTATE AND TRUCK DID NOT RUN HOT ANYMORE. SINCE THEN, THE TRANSMISSION HAS GOTTEN WORSE. SOME TIMES THE TRANSMISSION VIBRATES WHEN CHANGING GEARS. MANY PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

WHEN DRIVING, A "RUMBLING" NOISE WOULD COME AND GO AND A "WHINING" NOISE WHILE ACCELERATING. THE RUMBLING NOISE WAS NOT CONSISTENT BUT WOULD SOUND LIKE A WAS DRIVING ON THE SIDE OF THE ROUND. IT WOULD USUALLY APPEAR AROUND 40-60 MPH WHEN I WOULD LET OFF THE GAS AND "COAST" AND TRY TO PRESS THE GAS AGAIN. I DID NOT KNOW THERE WAS A "WARRANTY EXTENSION". I WAS NOT NOTIFIED. TOOK THE TRUCK INTO THE SHOP ONLY TO FIND OUT MY TRANSMISSION WAS GOING OUT DUE TO THE FACT I HAVE RADIATOR COOLANT (ANTIFREEZE) IN MY TRANSMISSION FLUID; (OVER A GALLON) CAUSE BY A FACTORY DEFECT. SOMETHING TO DO WITH A TRANSMISSION PIECE GOING THROUGH THE RADIATOR AND LEAKING. MILEAGE FOR MY TRUCK IS RIGHT AT 99,800. BARELY MADE THE 100,000 MILES 3000 DOLLAR SO-CALLED NISSAN WARRANTY EXTENSION.. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN I FEEL SOME VIBRATION, DID NOT PAY ATTENTION UNTIL I GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED, I THOUGHT THAT FLUID MAY BE LOW, BUT WHEN I CHECKED I FOUND THAT FLUID WAS DISCOLORED. I TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC AND HE TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE RADIATOR LEAKING IN TRANSMISSION, AND THAT HE HAD SOME OTHER NISSAN TRUCKS SAME YEAR WITH SAME PROBLEM. HE SUGGESTED TO REPLACED RADIATOR AND FLUSH TRANSMISSION, IT COST ME $600.00, BUT NOW MY TRANSMISSION IS GETTING WORSE EVERYDAY AND WORSE OF ALL IS THAT I AM STILL PAYING FOR THIS TRUCK THAT PROBABLY IS GOING TO BREAK DOWN ANY MOMENT. I READ SOME OF THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE AND SCARED ME JUST TO KNOW THAT I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR A TRANSMISSION REPAIR PLUS CONTINUE TO PAY FOR THE LOAN OF THIS TRUCK. AND NISSAN SEEMS LIKE IS DOING NOTHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE SEND ME ANY NOTIFICATION ABOUT A RECALL, I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER REFUELING, THE FUEL GAUGE RAPIDLY REGISTERED THAT THE TANK WAS EMPTY. THE CONTACT TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTED IT AND THE GAUGE SHOWED FULL. THE GAUGE FAILED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED OF A RECALL FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V075000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED BUT STATED THE VIN WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 53,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 56,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND THE CHECK COOLANT LEVEL WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS WHERE THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED THAT COOLANT WAS LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION. AS A RESULT, THE TRANSMISSION AND THE RADIATOR WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE FOR THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE 99,700. *TR

I HAVE A NISSAN FRONTIER THAT HAS HAD FAILED IN A NUMBER OF THINGS WHICH ARE NOT WEAR AND TEAR. THEY ARE DESIGN FLAWS. THE FUEL GAUGE MODULE. THE RADIATOR/TRANSMISSION LEAK FLAW. BECAUSE OF THE DESIGN OF THE RADIATOR, NOW A PERFECTLY WORKING TRANNY NEEDS REBUILT. I ALSO HEAR THE TENSIONER FOR THE TIMING CHAIN IS A DEFECTIVE DESIGN. MY FRONTIER BEGAN FALLING APART BEFORE THE 100.000 MILES WITH DESIGN FLAWS. NISSAN NEVER AGAIN. A SIMPLE WARNING LETTER THAT MY RADIATOR NEEDED A $300 REPAIR WOULD HAVE SAVED ME $4,000 LATER AND NOT LEAVE ME STRANDED IN TRAFFIC. *TR

TRANSMISSION FAILED COMPLETELY WHILE MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING LEAVING HER STRANDED IN A BUSY INTERSECTION. VEHICLE WAS TOWED. TRANSMISSION WAS FOUND TO HAVE RADIATOR FLUID IN IT AS WELL AS TRANSMISSION FLUID IN THE COOLING SYSTEM. AFTER INVESTIGATING THIS ISSUE ON THE INTERNET IT IS OBVIOUS THAT NISSAN HAS BEEN AWARE OF THE ISSUE WITH FAULTY RADIATORS FOR A LONG TIME. (WHEN I WAS STILL UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY.) HAD NISSAN INFORMED OWNERS THIS COULD HAVE RESOLVED WITH A RADIATOR CHANGE THAT I WOULD HAVE GLADLY DONE AT MY EXPENSE. NOW I'M LOOKING AT OVER $4000.00 IN REPAIR COSTS. SHAME ON NISSAN! *TR

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE AND ACCELERATING, THE TRANSMISSION HESITATED TO SHIFT AND THEN JUMPED INTO GEAR CAUSING A LURCH IN THE VEHICLE. *TR

ON MY 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER MY RADIATOR COOLANT MIXED IN WITH MY TRANSMISSION OIL AND IT CAUSED MY TRANNY TO BLOW OUT AND ALSO FOR MY TIMING BELT TO GET MESSED UP AND SO I HAD TO REPLACE MY TRANNY AND RADIATOR AND TIMING BELTS AT A TOTAL OF OVER 4 THOUSAND DOLLARS. I REALLY THINK NISSAN SHOULD MAKE THIS A RECALL REGARDLESS OF YOUR MILEAGE BECAUSE IF THEY DON'T HUNDREDS AND THOUSAND OF PEOPLE WILL STOP BUYING NISSAN. PLEASE INFORM ME OF ANYTHING WITH THE INVESTIGATION WITH NISSAN. *TR

I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN FOR WIPER REPAIR AND THE TECHNICIAN ATTACHED A COMPUTER TO THE VEHICLE AND THE COMPUTER TOLD HIM THE WIPERS WERE FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. THE TECHNICIAN SAID HE COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, THE TECHNICIAN DID NOT TURN THE WIPERS ON TO VISUALLY SEE THE PROBLEM AND DEPENDED ON THE COMPUTER FOR A RESOLUTION. THE SWITCH WAS REPLACED ($500.00) BUT THE PROBLEM REMAINED. A BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM <$700.00 PART>) WAS ORDERED PRIOR TO 25 NOV 2012 AND TO DATE 9 MAR 2013 HAS NOT BEEN RECEIVED. I HAVE DRIVEN FOR 4 MONTHS OF RAIN/SNOW SEASON WITHOUT PROPER WIPER FUNCTIONING. THIS HAS BEEN UNSAFE FOR MYSELF AS WELL AS MY PASSENGERS AS WELL AS OTHERS ON THE ROAD.[XXX] @ NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS HAS NO ETA FOR THE PART, NO ANSWER AS TO WHY THE PART IS NOT AVAILABLE AND DOES NOT KNOW WHAT WILL BE DONE TO COMPENSATE FOR THE DELAY. *TR

THE CLUTCH TO THE 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER FAILED WHILE DRIVING. AN ODOR WAS DETECTED PRIOR TO THE EVENT. WHEN I TRIED TO CHANGE GEARS, THE VEHICLE WOULD NO LONGER MOVE AND THE GEAR STICK MOVED FREELY THROUGHOUT ALL SIX FORWARD PROPELLING GEARS AS WELL AS REVERSE. THE WRITER WAS ON A RURAL ROAD WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND NO OTHER CARS WERE INVOLVED. THE CLUTCH WAS REPLACED. THE EVENT REPEATED APPROX 200 MILES LATER IN NEAR THE SAME LOCATION BY THIS WRITER'S HOME. THE CLUTCH WAS REPLACED. ROUGHLY 150 MILES LATER, THE SMELL PERSISTED (IN THE THIRD CLUTCH). THIS WRITER FILED A COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN AND WAS TOLD TO BRING THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALER IN ORDER TO DIAGNOSE THE CAUSE FOR THE PREMATURE FAILURE OF THE CLUTCH. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO FIND ANYTHING DURING A "VISUAL INSPECTION" IN WHICH THE TRANSMISSION WAS REMOVED TO REVEAL THE PARTS INVOLVED. THIS WRITER WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS CLUTCH MATERIAL ON THE FLYWHEEL WHICH INDICATES THAT THE THIRD CLUTCH IS INDEED BEGINNING TO FAIL. THIS WRITER HAS DRIVEN MANUAL TRANSMISSION FOR 16 YEARS AND HAS ANOTHER VEHICLE WITH 115,000 MILES ON IT. IT HAS THE ORIGINAL CLUTCH IN IT AND THIS WRITER ALONG WITH MY SPOUSE DROVE THIS VEHICLE FOR 90,000. MY FEAR IS THAT THE CLUTCH WILL FAIL ON ONE OF THE RAILROAD CROSSINGS AND I WILL NOT HAVE MUCH TIME TO REMOVE MY CHILDREN FROM THEIR CAR SEATS. THE CLUTCH IN THE FRONTIER IS THE SAME CLUTCH THAT IS USED IN THE NISSAN XTERRA OF THE SAME YEAR AND MAKE.

WHEN YOU PUT GAS IN THE VEHICLE THE GAS GAUGE DOESN'T WORK, GOES TO EMPTY WITH THE WARNING LIGHT COMING ON AND SHORTLY AFTER THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ONE. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU PUT IN 1 GALLON OF GAS OR IF YOU FILL UP THE TANK. THE FUEL SENDING UNIT FAILS, NISSAN DEALER SAID THEY ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE BUT ITS NOT A RECALL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME EXTREMELY LOOSE WHEN DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE STEERING COLUMN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE STEERING COLUMN WAS UNDER WARRANTY, BUT THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED THAT THEY WOULD NOT PAY FOR THE REPAIR. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 84,396.

I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED WITH ROUGHLY 92,700 MILES FROM A REPUTABLE, LOCAL, HIGH VOLUME DEALER. WITHIN A WEEK OF OWNING THE VEHICLE I FELT A "SHUDDER," AS IF DRIVING OVER A RUMBLE STRIP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, WHILE CRUISING AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH IN TOP GEAR ON THE HIGHWAY. FELT THE SAME SENSATION ONE WEEK LATER AND AGAIN APPROXIMATELY ONE MONTH AGO. THESE "SHUDDERS" WERE FEW AND FAR BETWEEN BUT CONSISTENT IN FEELING AND DURATION, ONLY LASTING A SECOND OR SO. WHILE DOING AN OIL CHANGE AND FLUID CHECK ON 2-7-2013 AND APPROXIMATELY 94,700 MILES, I FOUND THE COOLANT IN MY RADIATOR AND OVERFLOW TANK TO BE A PINK, EVEN BORDERING ON PURPLE, IN COLOR AND ABOUT THE SAME CONSISTENCY AS HEAVY WHIPPING CREAM YOU WOULD PURCHASE FROM THE GROCERY STORE. I IMMEDIATELY ARRANGED FOR THE VEHICLE TO BE DIAGNOSED AT THE DEALERSHIP OF PURCHASE THE NEXT MORNING AND THE THREE YEAR EXTENDED POWER TRAIN WARRANTY DICTATED SUCH. THE SERVICE SHOP'S DIAGNOSIS CONFIRMED THE RESEARCH I HAD FOUND LINKING THE DISCREPANT COOLANT IN MY RADIATOR TO BE FROM A DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION COOLER LINE/COIL INSIDE THE BOTTOM OF THE RADIATOR THAT WAS LEAKING TRANSMISSION FLUID INTO MY RADIATOR. THUS, NOT RECIRCULATING THE PROPER AMOUNT OF TRANSMISSION FLUID, IF AT ALL, BACK INTO MY TRANSMISSION CAUSING IT TO FAIL AND WAS "SHUDDERING" AS A SIDE EFFECT. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAS TOLD ME THAT BECAUSE MY VEHICLE WAS PAST THE 80,000 MILE MARK AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT, NISSAN WOULD REQUIRE A $3,000 DEDUCTIBLE TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION, TRANSMISSION COOLER LINES, AND THE RADIATOR. AS I RESEARCH FURTHER I SEE THIS PROBLEM IS NOT ISOLATED BUT QUITE COMMON. IT IS ALSO PAINFULLY APPARENT THAT NISSAN IS VERY MUCH AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AS WELL. AS A PROUD OWNER OF A 1985 NISSAN 720 PICKUP TRUCK AND STAUNCH SUPPORTER OF NISSAN PRODUCTS, THIS SITUATION IS DISAPPOINTING AT BEST AND UNETHICAL AT WORST. *TR

2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO SEVERAL VEHICLE RECALL NOTICES AND OTHER MECHANICAL FAILURES. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED HIS VEHICLE SHOWED SIGNS OF ENGINE PROBLEMS, THE SECOND YEAR AFTER HE PURCHASED IT. WHEN THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR THE FUEL SYSTEM RECALL, HE WAS INFORMED THE VEHICLE HAD AN OIL LEAK, AND THE ENGINE WAS BAD AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, AFTER ONLY HAVING THE VEHICLE FOR THREE YEARS. THE CONSUMER STATED THE GAS GAUGE HAS SINCE STOPPED WORKING AGAIN. THE ENGINE STALLED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE CONSUMER STATED HE HAS SINCE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE REGARDING THE ENGINE. THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, TO HAVE THE RECALL PERFORMED. HOWEVER, THE DEALER STATED AFTER THE REPAIRS WERE COMPLETED, THERE WAS STILL A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE, BUT IT WAS NOT A PART OF THE RECALL.

TRANSMISSION BEGAN STUTTERING AND SHIFTING POORLY AT ABOUT 114,000 MILES. THIS IS A TYPICAL SYMPTOM FOR A PROBLEM NISSAN HAS KNOWN ABOUT FOR SOME TIME. A FAILURE IN THE RADIATOR ALLOWS ENGINE COOLANT TO MIX WITH TRANSMISSION FLUID - DESTROYING THE TRANSMISSION. SO FAR IT HAS COST ME $1000 TO HAVE THE RADIATOR REPLACED AND THE TRANSMISSION DRAINED AND REFILLED. $11/QUART FOR SPECIAL NISSAN TRANNY FLUID. I EXPECT I MAY HAVE CAUGHT THE PROBLEM EARLY ENOUGH TO AVOID MAJOR TRANSMISSION DAMAGE, BUT WILL ONLY USE THE TRUCK FOR LOCAL TRIPS NOW. THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE AND NISSAN HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR REPAIRS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION COOLING SYSTEM FAILED AND ALLOWED RADIATOR FLUID TO LEAK INTO THE TRANSMISSION CAUSING IT TO FAIL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED AT OWNER'S EXPENSIVE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 111,500.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE ROSE AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WERE SIGNS OF OIL MIXED INTO THE RADIATOR. AS A RESULT, THE RADIATOR HAD TO BE REPLACED AND THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE FLUSH. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC . THE TECHNICIAN DECIDED TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION SINCE IT HAD STARTED TO SHIFT GEARS INDEPENDENTLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE BUT DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 96,792 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 104,000.

THE SEAL BETWEEN THE ENGINE COOLANT AND TRANSMISSION FLUID PORTIONS OF THE RADIATOR FAILS, CONTAMINATING THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WITH COOLANT WATER. CAUSING MY ENGINE TO SLIP WHEN CHANGING 1ST AND 2ND GEAR. I JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WHEN I RECEIVED A LETTER THAT THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. NISSAN KNEW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND FAIL TO NOTIFY OWNER OF THE THIS PROBLEM IN A TIMELY MATTER. IF I HAD KNOWN THIS PROBLEM THEN I WOULD HAVE REPLACE THE RADIATOR INSTEAD OF HAVING TO REPLACE MY WHOLE TRANSMISSION CAUSING ME THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH, THE VEHICLE STOPPED ACCELERATING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND SMOKE EMITTED FROM UNDER THE HOOD AREA. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST FOR INSPECTION WHERE THEY ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT LIQUID FROM THE RADIATOR LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION. AS A RESULT, BOTH THE RADIATOR AND THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND ADVISED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT UNDER RECALL. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 111,000.

THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN COMPROMISED DUE TO A FAULTY RADIATOR. THE RADIATOR LEAKED COOLANT INTO THE TRANSMISSION CONTAMINATING THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. I NOTICED THE VEHICLE WOULD OCCASIONALLY SHUDDER AND WHEN I HAD IT CHECKED OUT DISCOVERED THE PROBLEM. HARD TO BELIEVE NISSAN DID PRACTICALLY NOTHING TO NOTIFY OWNERS OF THE PROBLEM BECAUSE IT SURE WAS EVIDENT THAT THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AS WELL AS A COUPLE OF TRANSMISSION SHOPS I'VE VISITED. *TR

CAMSHAFT SENSORS (CPS?) REPLACED TODAY AT DEALER. FRIDAY MY TRUCK STALLED AS I PULLED INTO A HIGHWAY AT NIGHT. ALMOST GOT BROADSIDED BY TRACTOR TRAILOR TRUCK. THESE SENSOR FAILURES CAUSE A RAPID STALL UNDER POWER AND HARD STARTING AFTER THE STALLS. LAST MONTH I HAD THE CRANKSHAFT SENSORS REPLACED AS WELL. BEFORE THAT THE IPDM RELAY RECALL GAVE ME PROBLEMS. I'M STILL FIGHTING TO GET MY FUEL SENDING UNIT REPLACED (NISSAN WILL ONLY COVER CUSTOMERS THAT SPEND A LOT OF MONEY AT THE DEALERS, I WAS TOLD THIS BY NISSAN!). I'VE HAD THE REAR END, TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR, DRIVESHAFT AND PROPELLER SHAFT REPLACED DUE TO FAILED U-JOINTS. AXLE SEALS (ON THE NEW REAR) ARE LEAKING AGAIN I UNDERSTAND A CLOGGED VENT MAY BE TO BLAME. TIRE PRESSURE SENSORS ARE SHOT AND CATALYTIC CONVERTERS SHOT.

HASN'T HAPPENED YET, BUT FROM ALL THE COMPLAINTS FROM 2005-2010 NISSAN PATHFINDER, XTERRA AND FRONTIER OWNERS CONCERNING MAJOR TRANSMISSION FAILURES WHILE DRIVING DUE TO CROSS CONTAMINATION FROM A FAILED TRANSMISSION FLUID LINE RUNNING THROUGH THE RADIATOR, IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME. THIS DEFECT HAS BEEN KNOWN BY NISSAN FOR YEARS AND AS A BAND-AID SOLUTION OFFERED EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERAGE FOR THESE SPECIFIC COMPONENTS TO 8 YEARS/80,000 MILES, KNOWING FULL WELL MOST PROBLEMS HAVE A RECORD OF OCCURRING JUST AFTER 100,000 MILES. CLASS ACTION LAW SUITS AGAINST NISSAN FOR THIS DEFECT ARE NOW PENDING IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK. THIS DEFECT AND NISSAN'S LACK OF CONCERN FOR PREVENTATIVE ACTION PLACED THIS IN THE 2ND WORST PROBLEM ON CARCOMPLAINTS.COM TOP VEHICLE PROBLEM TRENDS OF 2012 LIST. AS MORE AND MORE OF THESE MODEL YEARS APPROACH 100,000 MILES, MORE AND MORE CATASTROPHIC FAILURES WITH POTENTIAL FOR INJURY AND LOSS OF LIFE WILL OCCUR. REPAIR AFTER THE FAILURE IS QUITE EXPENSIVE; ENOUGH TO WARRANT SCRAPPING THE VEHICLE FOR THOSE THAT CAN'T AFFORD THE REPAIR BILL. TIME TO HOLD NISSAN ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE PROBLEM THEY HAVE CREATED AND ALLOWED THE PUBLIC TO BEAR RESPONSIBILITY FOR. A RECALL OF ALL AFFECTED MODELS TO INSTALL AN IMPROVED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION LINE IN THE OIL COOLER OR REROUTING THE LINE TO A DIFFERENT ADD-ON OIL COOLER IS NEEDED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO VIBRATE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSION LINES AND RADIATOR FLUID LEAKED AND CAUSED CROSS CONTAMINATION INTO THE TRANSMISSION. THE MECHANIC SUGGESTED THEY CUT THE TRANSMISSION FLUID LINE SO IT WOULD GO DIRECTLY INTO THE TRANSMISSION FLUID COOLER; HOWEVER, IT CAUSED THE REAR END OF THE VEHICLE TO VIBRATE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 96,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 102,000.

2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO CATASTROPHIC TRANSMISSION FAILURE. *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED WHILE TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH FROM HOME, THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP, WHERE AN INSPECTION REVEALED RADIATOR FLUID AND TRANSMISSION FLUID MIXED TOGETHER.

I PURCHASED MY TRUCK WITH ABOUT 1900 MILES ON IT. I WAS A VERY PROUD OWNER, DOING EVERYTHING IN MY POWER TO KEEP MY TRUCK DEPENDABLE AND RELIABLE BY GETTING ALL SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE PLUS PREVENTATIVE CARE. HOWEVER, ONE MORNING I TRIED STARTING MY TRUCK FOR WORK AND IT WASN'T CRANKING. UNFORTUNATELY, I DECIDED TO TAKE MY TRUCK TO A SMALL MECHANIC SHOP AND I WITNESSED THEM START AN ENGINE FIRE THAT DAMAGED THE WIRE HARNESS. I QUICKLY TOOK MY TRUCK OUT OF THIS MECHANICS SHOP AND TOWED IT TO THE NISSAN SERVICE DEPARTMENT. I ASKED THE SERVICE ADVISOR TO REPAIR THE WIRE HARNESS AND TO FIND OUT WHY MY TRUCK IS NOT CRANKING. THE SERVICE ADVISOR EXPLAINED TO ME THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE BECAUSE OF A PROBLEM OF COOLANT LEAKING INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION WHICH WILL DAMAGE THE COMPUTER COMPONENT CAUSING THE TRUCK NOT TO START OR CRANK. THE SERVICE ADVISOR THEN CONTINUED TO TELL ME THAT MY TRUCK IS NO LONGER COVERED FOR THE REPAIRS BECAUSE I EXCEEDED THE ALLOWED MILEAGE TO REPAIR THE FACTORY DEFECT AND I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS OUT OF POCKET WHICH TOTAL MORE THEN WHAT THE TRUCK IS WORTH. THE SERVICE ADVISOR ALSO REVEALED THAT I SHOULD HAVE RECEIVED A LETTER WITH DETAILS OF THE RECALL, BUT I NEVER RECEIVED IT BECAUSE IT WENT TO THE PREVIOUS OWNER. I WAS CONFIDENT IN PURCHASING A NISSAN TRUCK AND INVESTED ALL OF MY MONEY TOWARD ONE HOPING THIS WOULD BE MY ONLY VEHICLE PURCHASE FOR AT LEAST 10 YEARS BUT NOW I HAVE LESS THAN A YEAR OF PAYMENTS LEFT AND A VEHICLE THAT DOESN'T RUN. MY ONLY MISTAKE IS THAT I PURCHASE MY NISSAN WITH 1900 MILES AND BECAUSE OF THAT I NEVER RECEIVED MY WARRANTY OR RECALL INFORMATION WHICH I FEEL THIS PROBLEM COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED. I AM ASKING NISSAN CORPORATION TO STAND BY THEIR VEHICLE WITH ME AND HONOR THE RECALL SO I CAN GET MY RELIABLE TRUCK RUNNING PROPERLY AGAIN. *TR

MY FUEL GAUGE REGISTERED EMPTY SO A WENT TO PUT GAS IN AND IT WAS NEARLY FULL. THEY TOLD ME I NEEDED A BATTERY. I WAS UNDER WARRANTY AT THE TIME.

I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN ACROSS TRAFFIC IN MY 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER WHEN I LOST ALL FORWARD MOMENTUM IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. THE TRUCK FELT LIKE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL AND WOULD NOT GO INTO GEAR. I WAS STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION BLOCKING TRAFFIC FOR ABOUT 15 SECONDS WHILE CARS HONKED AND WENT AROUND ME. AFTER ABOUT 15 SECONDS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND IT JERKED INTO GEAR. I HAD THE CODE CHECK AND THEY SAID IT WAS A FAULT IN THE TRANSMISSION. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT ABOUT THE FAULTY RADIATOR PROBLEM THAT COULD ALLOW COOLANT INTO TRANSMISSION. I CHECKED MY COOLANT FOR SIGNS AND SURE ENOUGH I HAD GREY SLUDGE FLOATING ALL IN MY COOLANT WHICH IS A SIGN OF CROSS CONTAMINATION. I CALLED A LOCAL AAMCO (TRANSMISSION MECHANIC) TO ASK HIM ABOUT IT AND HE KNEW ALL ABOUT THE ISSUE AND SAID HE REBUILDS AT LEAST ONE NISSAN TRANSMISSION A WEEK DUE TO COOLANT DESTROYING THE TRANSMISSION. HE RECOMMENDED THAT I BYPASS THE RADIATOR COOLER RIGHT AWAY AND CHANGE THE TRANSMISSION FLUID IN ORDER TO REDUCE DAMAGE. HE SAID THAT SINCE IT HAS ALREADY SHOWN SINCE OF CONTAMINATION THAT IT WAS JUST A MATTER OF TIME IT FAILED AGAIN AND FOR GOOD. HE SAID A REBUILD WOULD COST BETWEEN $3K & $4K, WHICH IS SOMETHING I CANNOT AFFORD. I AM SCARED EVERY TIME I HAVE TO CROSS TRAFFIC THAT IT WILL FAIL AND I WILL BE IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. WHY WOULD NISSAN IGNORE FIXING THIS ISSUE WHILE IT WAS MINOR AND ALLOW ITS CUSTOMERS THE POSSIBILITY OF BEING IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT MUCH LESS MAKING THEM PAY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS THAT MANY DO NOT HAVE TO FIX A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

MY 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF FIRST GEAR IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. (LATTER IT WOULD NOT GO INTO REVERSE.) I PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE, DECIDED TO TRY AND NURSE IT IN FIRST GEAR UNTIL I GOT IT HOME. IT SEEM TO WORK FINE. MY UNDERSTANDING AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET THERE IS A KNOW PROBLEM WITH NISSAN FRONTIER AND COOLANT GETTING INTO THE TRANSMISSION. *TR

COOLANT FRON RADIATOR ENTERED TRANSMISSION CAUSING SHUTTERING. VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT TO NISSAN FOR REPAIR. ENGINE COOLANT HAD ENTERED THE TRANSMISSION CAUSING FAILURE TO TRANSMISSION. COOLANT SYSTEM WAS REPLACED AND TRANSMISSION WAS FLUSHED. AFTER 5000 MILES THE TRANSMISSION HAD COMPLETELY FAILED. THE FAILURE OCCURED WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP SIGN IN A DANGEROUS INTERSECTION. THE VEHICLE WAS STUCK IN 4'TH GEAR. I ACCELERATED FROM THE STOP SIGN BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD BARELY MOVE LEAVING ME EXPOSED IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION. A VEHICLE ALMOST T-BONED ME AS IT CAME AROUND THE BLIND CORNER. NISSAN HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS DEFECT FOR A LONG TIME. IF I HAD KNOWN I COULD HAVE REPLACED THE COOLANT SYSTEM BEFORE IT ENTERED THE TRANSMISSION. NOW I AM STUCK WITH A BILL OF MORE THAN $5000 AFTER ALREADY SPENDING $2000 ON A NEW COOLANT SYSTEM AND NUMEROUS TRANSMISSION FLUSHES. IN MY OPINION NISSANS NEGLECT IN NOTIFYING AND REMEDYING THIS DEFECT IS PLACING ITS CUSTUMERS AT GREAT RISK OF INJURY AND DEATH DUE TO THIS SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER.

MY NISSAN WAS HAVING ISSUES SO I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC. HE INFORMED ME THAT NISSAN WAS HAVING AN ISSUE WITH A PART THAT WORE OUT AND LEAKED COOLANT INTO TRANSMISSION AND TRANSMISSION FLUID INTO THE RADIATOR. I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF IT WAS RECALLED. THEY INFORMED ME I WAS A FEW THOUSAND MILES OVER MY WARRANTY AND THEY COULD DO NOTHING. I THEN SAW THE MULTITUDE OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND THE DEALERSHIP SAID NISSAN PAID FOR SOME VEHICLES OUT OF WARRANTY. THAT ALONE PROVES THEY KNEW ABOUT THIS ISSUE. I PAID FOR A NEW RADIATOR ($600) AND HOPED FOR THE BEST WITH MY TRANSMISSION. I AM IN THE NAVY SO I CAN'T AFFORD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. NOW MY LUCK HAS RUN OUT AND I CAN NO LONGER DRIVE MY VEHICLE. I HAVE A 3 MONTH OLD AT HOME AND NEED TO HAVE TWO CARS FOR MY WIFE. THIS IS AN ISSUE NISSAN KNOWS ABOUT AND IT IS DUE TO A FAULTY PART THEY INSTALLED. IT COULD HAVE BEEN FIXED AHEAD OF TIME AND SOLVED A LOT OF ISSUES. WHEN IS THERE GOING TO BE A RECALL? PEOPLE ARE GETTING STRANDED AND NISSAN AND THE GOVERNMENT KNOWS. DOES SOMEONE NEED TO DIE FOR YOU TO NOTICE AND ACT? IT WOULD SEEM THAT PEOPLE BEING STRANDED AND SPENDING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS BECAUSE OF A MANUFACTURING DEFECT IS NOT ENOUGH. I NEED TO KNOW IF I HAVE TO GO TRY TO BUY ANOTHER CAR OR WAIT AND HOPE MY GOVERNMENT PROTECTS US. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 38 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP WHERE THEY STATED THAT THE CORE IN THE RADIATION FAILED AND THE ANTI-FREEZE HAD SPILLED INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND DESTROYED IT. CONSEQUENTLY, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

MY 5-SPEED AUTOMATIC 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER'S RADIATOR COOLER TANK RUPTURED FORCING COOLANT INTO THE TRANSMISSION THROUGH THE TRANSMISSION COOLER LINES CAUSING "CATASTROPHIC FAILURE" AT 92000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER (12000 MILES OUTSIDE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE FAULTY RADIATOR). THIS IS APPARENTLY AN "UNCOMMON", BUT KNOWN PROBLEM WITH NISSAN TRUCK AND SUV MODELS. I WAS TRAVELING AT 65 MPH ON INTERSTATE 70 NEAR FREDERICK, MARYLAND WHEN THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE OCCURRED. I LOST ALL FORWARD MOMENTUM BUT WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER THE TRUCK TO THE SHOULDER BEFORE CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. I HAD IT CHECKED BY AN INDEPENDENT SHOP IN MOUNT AIRY, MARYLAND AND THEY QUOTED THE REPLACEMENT OF THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION AT $4350. AFTER MAKING INQUIRES WITH THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW IN 2006, THEIR INITIAL ESTIMATE WAS BETWEEN ROUGHLY $6000 - $10000 FOR REPLACEMENT OF THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION! THEY WERE ABLE TO NEGOTIATE DOWN WITH NISSAN CORPORATE AND THE FINAL COST OF REPLACEMENT OF THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION WAS $3000. MY TRANSMISSION FAILED WITHOUT ANY SIGN OR WARNING AT 65 MPH ON A 3 LANE INTERSTATE - THE FINANCIAL BURDEN TO FIX THE PROBLEM HURTS, BUT IT COULD HAVE GONE MUCH WORSE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10V075000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:AUXILLARY TANK) AND WAS REPAIRED. AFTER THE REPAIR THE FUEL SENDING UNIT FAILED IMMEDIATELY. WHILE FUELING THE VEHICLE THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE FUEL LEVEL GAUGE INDICATED EMPTY. THERE WAS A MANUFACTURER'S RECALL FOR THE FUEL SENSOR AND THE VEHICLE TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND REPAIRED. THE FAILURE CONTINUED AFTER THE REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT FURTHER SERVICED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DISCOVERED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER'S SIDE AXLE SEAL HAD LEAKED ONTO THE EMERGENCY BRAKE PADS. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 68,000. UPDATED 09/21/12*LJ UPDATED 09/26/2012 *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT WAS TRAVELING 5 MPH WHEN A POPPING NOISE EMITTED FROM THE STEERING COLUMN. THE CONTACT CONFIRMED THAT THE VEHICLE BECAME HARD TO STEER BUT THE POWER STEERING ASSIST DID NOT COMPLETELY FAIL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE STEERING COLUMN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,626 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 52,700. UPDATED 8/23/12 *CN UPDATED 09/06/2012 *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT WAS TRAVELING 50 MPH WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER CONFIRMED THE FUEL SENDING UNIT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND THEY CONFIRMED THE VIN FAILED TO QUALIFY FOR REPAIRS UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 10V075000 ( FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:AUXILIARY TANK). THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 89,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 89,500.

TRANSMISSION/RADIATOR FAILURE RESULTING IN MIXED TRANSMISSION FLUID AND COOLANT. I HAVE JUST DISCOVERED THIS SINCE I WAS HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND A QUICK FIX IF I HAD JUST KNOWN ABOUT IT. MANY ARE BYPASSING THE TRANSMISSION COOLER DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. A QUICK INTERNET SEARCH SHOWS THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND PERVASIVE. *TR

BEEN SMELLING GAS FOR OVER A YEAR. THEN DRIVING HOME ON 07/05/2012 FUEL PUMP STARTED SPEWING GAS TOOK 18 GALLONS GAS TO DRIVE 10 MILES BEFORE I NEW WHAT WAS GOING ON . FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLEY HAS MULTIPLE STRESS FRACTURES ALL OVER THE TOP AND FITTINGS THAT HAVE BEEN THERE FOR A LONG TIME PROBABLE FROM NEW. NISSAN WILL NOT FIX. SAYS MY VIN IS NOT IN THE RECALL . I HAVE THE FUEL PUMP WITH PHOTOS OF THE STRESS FRACTURES THANKS. *TR

STEERING WHEEL HAS BECOME VERY LOOSE (1" PLAY IN ALL DIRECTIONS) RESULTING IN DIFFICULTY AT TIMES CONTROLLING THE VEHICLE (APPEARS THE INTERNAL BEARINGS OR SIMILAR MECHANISM HAS FAILED). I FEAR THIS MAY LEAD TO A CRASH DUE TO INABILITY TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. *JS

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SLIPPED WHEN CHANGING GEARS. ALSO IT FELT AS IF I WAS DRIVING OVER GROVES IN THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC WHO INFORMED ME OF MULTIPLE PROBLEMS WITH THE RADIATOR LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND THAT I WAS 4K MILES OVER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. I NEVER EVEN KNEW I HAD AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, I GUESS NISSAN DIDN'T WANT TOO MANY PEOPLE TO KNOW EVEN THOUGH MY VEHICLE IS REGISTERED WITH THEM. MY MECHANIC SAID THIS PROBLEM WAS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE NISSAN DESIGN AND SINCE IT WAS PAST THE 80K MILE WARRANTY IT WAS NOT COVERED. RADIATOR WAS REPLACED. I CALLED THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY WOULD NOT EXTEND OR HONOR ANY WARRANTY. MY MECHANIC TOLD ME TO WATCH MY TRANSMISSION, BECAUSE THAT WILL BE THE NEXT TO GO. MY ONLY HOPE IS NISSAN DOES THE RIGHT THING (FORCED IF NECESSARY) AND REPAIRS OR REPLACES WHAT IS CLEARLY A FAULTY DESIGN. THIS HAS THE POSSIBILITY OF CAUSING ACCIDENTS AT THE WORST AND ABANDONMENT ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD OF A FAMILY AT BEST. GET THEM TO FIX THIS ISSUE AND PROTECT THE DRIVERS ON THE ROAD PLEASE. *JS

THE TRUCK BEGAN TO VIBRATE AND SHUDDER INTERMITTENTLY WHILE IN OVERDRIVE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (55-65MPH). A COUPLE WEEKS LATER TRANSMISSION STARTING SHIFTING REALLY HARD, WITH CORRESPONDING CLUNKING SOUND EVERY TIME IT SHIFTED BETWEEN GEARS. I TOOK IT TO MY REGULAR LOCAL MECHANIC WHO FOUND COOLANT MIXED IN TRANSMISSION FLUID DUE TO A RUPTURED ATF LINE INSIDE THE RADIATOR. HE STATED THAT HE HAD INSPECTED NUMEROUS TRUCKS OF SAME VINTAGE THAT ALSO HAD TRANSMISSION FAILURE DUE TO THE SAME RADIATOR DEFECT CAUSING CONTAMINATION OF TRANSMISSION FLUID. HE ADVISED ME THAT MY RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION WOULD NEED TO BE REBUILT OR REPLACED AT THIS POINT. HE RECOMMENDED I CONTACT NISSAN DEALER REGARDING THIS COMMON DEFECT AND INFORMATION ABOUT WARRANTY COVERAGE. I SPOKE TO 2 LOCAL NISSAN DEALERS ON THE PHONE AND WAS TOLD WARRANTY ON RADIATOR ONLY HAD BEEN EXTENDED TO 80000 MILES. AT THIS TIME MY TRUCK HAS 86000 MILES AND PARTS AND SERVICE TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM WOULD NOT BE COVERED BY NISSAN. *TT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED AN INACCURATE READING OF EMPTY WITH AN ILLUMINATION OF THE ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR. THE FAILURE OCCURRED AFTER THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN REFUELED. THE WARNING INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED UNTIL THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO INFORMED THERE WAS A RECALL UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 10V075000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:AUXILLARY TANK). THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL DEFECT. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 179,000.

2006 NISSAN FRONTIER - STEERING WHEEL HAS BECOME VERY LOOSE, AND PHYSICALLY MOVES, WHILE OPERATING VEHICLE. THE STEERING HAS ALSO BECOME VERY TIGHT AND DIFFICULT TO STEER VEHICLE. A DEADLY COMBINATION!!!!!!!!!! CAME TO A TRAFFIC SIGNAL, AFTER TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE FOR APPROXIMATELY 300 MILES. WHILE STOPPED I NOTICED ALOT OF PLAY IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND STEERING BECAME VERY TIGHT AT SLOW SPEEDS. THE MOVEMENT IN THE STEERING WHEEL WAS VERY PRONOUNCED MOVING RIGHT AND LEFT UP TO TWO INCHES IN EITHER DIRECTION. I SHOWED MY WIFE AND KIDS, WHO WERE IN THE VEHICLE, AND I BECAME VERY CONCERNED FOR OUR SAFETY, AS WE STILL HAD NEARLY 100 MORE MILES TO DRIVE TO REACH OUR DESTINATION. NO DEALERSHIP WAS IN OUR VICINITY, SO I DROVE VEHICLE BACK HOME TWO DAYS LATER. ON THE RETURN TRIP I WAS VERY AWARE AND NERVOUS FOR THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AND FAMILY, I HAVE NEVER HAD A STEERING WHEEL MOVE LIKE THAT (AND IT SHOULDN'T). WAS CONCERNED AND VERY NERVOUS THE STEERING COULD EITHER FAIL OR THE AIRBAG COULD INADVERTENTLY DEPLOY CAUSING RISK OF INJURY OR DEATH TO MY FAMILY OR OTHER MOTORIST. I CALLED MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP (CARRIAGE NISSAN, GAINESVILLE GEORGIA) ON 6-18-2012 TO DISCUSS MY OBSERVATIONS AND THEY INFORMED ME THEY HAD NOT HEARD OF ANY ISSUES OR PROBLEMS WITH STEERING. UNFORTUNATELY FOR NISSAN, AFTER I INVESTIGATED MY ISSUE ON THE INTERNET, "I AM NOW CONVINCED THAT NISSAN IS WELL AWARE OF THESE PROBLEMS WITH STEERING ISSUES, AS THEY HAVE BEEN REPORTED NUMEROUS TIMES TO NISSAN USA CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS". ACCORDING TO THE INTERNET, BY FRONTIER TRUCK OWNERS, NISSAN DEALERS ARE REPLACING STEERING COLUMNS TO FIX THIS DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION PROBLEM. IT IS OF CONCERN TO ME THAT THE NHTSA HAS NOT FORCED NISSAN TO CORRECT THIS POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING ISSUE, BY FORCING A RECALL, SINCE IT APPEARS NISSAN HAS NO INTENTIONS OF VOLUNTARILY FIXING THEIR PROBLEM. *JS

THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT CAME ON AND THE FUEL GAUGE WAS SLOW TO RISE AFTER FILLING UP. THIS TIME WHEN I FILLED UP THE GAUGE WAS AT 1/4 AND WOULD NOT MOVE. AFTER SITTING IN TRAFFIC FOR A LITTLE BIT THE GAUGE INDICATED THAT A WAS LOW ON FUEL AND THE LOW FUEL LIGHT CAME ON. *JB

SENSOR FOR THE FUEL PRESSURE SETS OFF "CHECK ENGINE SOON" LIGHT.THIS SENSOR IS TIED IN WITH THE FUEL GAUGE,LEAVING THE DRIVER WITH INACCURATE FUEL READINGS!

I OWN A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER NISMO WITH 65K MILES. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AND RECALL WORK. DEALER NOTICED LEFT REAR AXLE SEAL LEAKING WHICH COVERED BRAKES AND EMERGENCY BRAKE WITH AXLE OIL WHICH IN TURNS MAKES THE BRAKES INEFFECTIVE PUTTING MY LIFE AND CHILD'S LIFE AND MANY OTHERS IN DANGER. THERE ARE MANY OTHER CASES JUST LIKE THIS ONE REGARDING OTHER FRONTIERS WITH LEAKING REAR AXLE. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE. MAKE NISSAN ISSUE A RECALL! *JS

I RECENTLY HAD A "SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT" APPEAR AND WHEN I HAD IT DIAGNOSED AT THE DEALER I WAS TOLD IT WAS A FUEL SENSOR FAILURE THAT IS LOCATED IN THE GAS TANK.. I OF COURSE AGREED TO HAVE IT SERVICED WHICH THEY DID AND RESET THE ENGINE LIGHT. I WAS RESEARCHING ANOTHER ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE WHEN I STUMBLED ACROSS A RECALL ON THIS SAME YEAR TRUCK FOR THE SAME ITEMS I JUST PAID FOR. THE RECALL BY NISSAN NTB10-031A ISSUED IN MAY 19, 2010. THIS RECALL EXTENDED INTO 2011. IT SEEMS IRONIC THAT WITHIN A FEW MONTHS PERIOD I HAD A FUEL SYSTEM FAILURE THAT REQUIRED THE SAME SERVICE AND EXACTLY THE SAME PARTS REPLACED AS DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL. I FEEL THIS WAS JUST TOO CLOSE AND TOO MUCH OF A COINCIDENCE TO NOT FALL INTO THIS RECALL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT RADIATOR FLUID WAS LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION TO SEIZE. THE VEHICLE HAD BECOME INOPERABLE AS A RESULT OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE TEST RESULTS ADVISED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS DEFECTIVE AND WOULD NEED REPLACING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 92,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. UPDATED 06/21/12*LJ

THE VEHICLE WAS EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS SHIFTING INTO OVERDRIVE, THEN ONCE IN OVERDRIVE, I WAS LOSING THE CAPABILITY TO ACCELERATE ON THE HIGHWAY AND OTHER AREAS OF SPEEDS GREATER THAN 40 MPH. I NOTICED TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKING FROM THE TRANSMISSION AND TOOK IT TO AN AUTO REPAIR SHOP. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION COOLER HAD FAILED COMPLETELY ALLOWING RADIATOR FLUID TO MIX INTO THE TRANSMISSION FLUID CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE TRANSMISSION. THE REPAIR FOR A NEW RADIATOR AND INSTALLATION, AS WELL AS A RIGOROUS FLUSHING OF THE TRANSMISSION COST $599.00. I AM CURRENTLY, AS OF THIS DAY, IN NEED OF A NEW, USED, OR REBUILT TRANSMISSION BECAUSE OF DAMAGE CAUSED BY THE FAILURE OF THE TRANSMISSION COOLER WITHIN THE RADIATOR. *JS

MY TRUCK BEGAN TO SHAKE AND TREMBLE WHEN I WAS TRYING TO BACK INTO MY DRIVE WAY. THE TRUCK HAD BEEN MAKING NOISES AND I HAD TAKEN THE TRUCK IN TO BE CHECKED BY 3 DIFFERENT MECHANICS. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING AND ONE STATED HE HEARD THE NOISE BUT DID NOT KNOW WHAT IT WAS. THE TRUCK CONTINUE TO MAKE THE NOISE OF A GRINDING AND SHUTTERING SOUND. DID NOT DRIVE BUT TO WORK AND HOME DUE TO THE PROBLEMS. THE NOISE WOULD STOP WHEN THE OVERDRIVE WAS TURNED OFF. LATELY THE TRUCK SOUNDS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS GOING. THE FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT WORK. IT WAS IN A RECALL BUT NISSAN WOULD NOT REPAIR EVEN THOUGH I WAS MAILED THE RECALL AFTER MY MILEAGE WAS TOO HIGH FOR THE REPAIR WHICH MAKES NO SENSE TO ME BECAUSE IF THEY SENT THE NOTICE OUT LATE, WHAT DOES MY MILEAGE HAVE TO DO WITH THEIR NEGLIGENCE TO REPAIR THEIR FAULTY VEHICLES? COULD NOT REPAIR, THE COST WAS OVER $600. HAD TO REPLACE A WHEEL BEARING, OVER $400. TIRE GAUGE LIGHT ON. I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT TROUBLE WITH THIS TRUCK. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER NISSAN PRODUCT. WHEN DEALING WITH THE NISSAN RECALL PEOPLE I FELT AS THOUGH THEY COULD CARE LESS. WORKING ON A FIXED BUDGET AND UNABLE TO PAY FOR HIGH COST OF REPAIR. WHAT CAN YOU DO WHEN THE BIG COMPANIES REFUSE TO REPAIR THEIR TRUCKS AND CARS? I WAS INFORMED THERE WAS NO ONE TO HELP ME. HAVE RUN OUT OF GAS SEVERAL TIMES DUE TO THE GAS GAUGE. I HAVE READ OTHER'S COMPLAINTS ON NISSANS AND I AM SURPRISE THAT NO ONE FORCES THEM TO REPAIR THEIR VEHICLES. THIS IS MY ONLY FORM OF TRANSPORTATION AND WITHOUT THE REPAIRS, I WILL BE RIDING THE BUS. TIRED IN VIRGINIA. THANKS FOR LISTENING. *JS

THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED AND THEN TAKEN BACK TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED AND THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 119,376 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 119,379.

SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON WITH ERROR CODE 0463. NISSAN TSB #NTB07-069D CORRECTS THIS BUT NOT OUT OF WARRANTY! WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL SITUATION!. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING, THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND FOUND THE RADIATOR CRACKED AND THE RADIATOR FLUID HAD LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION, CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION TO FAIL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 124,000.

TRANSMISSION FAILURE DUE TO A LEAKY RADIATOR. THE TRANSMISSION JUST FAILED PULLING OUT OF A BUSY INTERSECTION. I DID NOT RECEIVE A LETTER OF WARRANTY EXTENSION UNTIL AFTER I WAS OVER 80,000 MILES. NISSAN IS WILLING TO GIVE ME $1000 CREDIT TOWARDS A NEW TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR IF I HAVE THE WORK DONE AT A NISSAN DEALER FOR $6000. I ONLY HAVE 87,000 MILES ON THIS ALMOST $30K DEATH TRAP. THIS IS MY SECOND COMPLAINT TO THE NHTSA. THE FIRST WAS ON THE FUEL SENDING UNIT, WHICH I FOUGHT TOOTH AND NAIL TO HAVE NISSAN REPLACE. MY TRUCK WAS 2 MONTH OUT OF THE MANUFACTURING DATE ISSUED IN THE RECALL. NISSAN DID EVENTUALLY DID ADD MY TRUCK TO THE RECALL LIST ABOUT 2 MONTH LATER. WHAT A SHAME. *TR

FAILURE OF TIMING CHAIN AND TIMING CHAIN GUIDES. *KB

I PURCHASED MY TRUCK FROM THE NISSAN DEALER IN 2006 AND RECENTLY NOTICED THAT THE FRONT TIRES WERE WORN RATHER BADLY. I THOUGHT THIS WAS UNUSUAL SINCE I HAD LESS THAN 35,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK. I TOOK MY TRUCK TO SEARS AND ASKED THEM TO ALIGN THE WHEELS AND ROTATE THE TIRES. SEARS COULD NOT DO THE ALIGNMENT BECAUSE THEY WOULD HAVE TO ORDER AND INSTALL SOME PARTS THAT WERE NOT ON THE TRUCK AT MANUFACTURING. I CALLED NISSAN NORTH AMERICA TO FIND OUT IF THIS WAS NECESSARY AND WAS TOLD THAT FOR CERTAIN MAKE OF VEHICLES THIS WAS TRUE. I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE PARTS AND LABOR TO MAKE IT POSSIBLE TO ALIGN THE WHEELS TO RECOMMENDED SPECIFICATIONS. ACCORDING TO SEARS, SINCE THE CAMBERS AND CASTERS WERE NOT WITHIN RECOMMENDED SPECIFICATION, TIRE WEAR, HANDLING AND SAFETY PROBLEMS MAY RESULT. I FEEL THAT THE NECESSARY PARTS SHOULD HAVE BEEN INSTALLED DURING MANUFACTURING TO AVOID ANY POSSIBLE ACCIDENTS DUE TO PREMATURE TIRE WEAR. THE NISSAN DEALER SHOULD INSTALL THE NECESSARY PARTS FOR FREE AND NISSAN SHOULD NOTIFY ANY VEHICLE OWNERS AFFECTED BY THIS DEFICIENCY WHICH MIGHT CAUSE HANDLING AND SAFETY PROBLEMS. *KB

THE FUEL SENDING UNIT FAILS TO INDICATE THE AMOUNT OF FUEL IN THE FUEL TANK. NISSAN FRONTIER EX. NISSAN NORTH AMERICA HAS SENT ME A LETTER REGARDING THIS FAILURE AND HAVE EXTENDED THE WARRANTY, HOWEVER NOW THAT I WENT TO A DEALER FOR THE REPAIR, NISSAN HAS BEEN VERY UNCOOPERATIVE AND GIVING ME THE RUNAROUND, REFUSING TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR EVEN AFTER THEY ASSIGNED A FILE # TO MY CASE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THERE WAS A SENSOR INTERRUPTION IN THE AIR BAG WHICH CAUSED THE LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE FAILURE WAS CAUSED BY THE CRASH ZONE SENSOR HOUSING AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THERE WAS ALSO A NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 08V690000 (AIR BAG: FRONTAL) WHICH INCLUDED A REPAIR FOR THE FAILURE, BUT THE CONTACT WAS TOLD THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

THIS COMPLAINT IS IN REGARDS TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN # 10V-075. SUMMARY OF THE ISSUE WE ARE HAVING IS THE SAME AS THE ONE STATED IN THE RECALL. DUE TO A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL SENDER FLOAT ARM, OUR FUEL GAUGE IS SHOWING THAT THE VEHICLE HAS ABOUT 1/4 OF A TANK WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS EMPTY. WE TOOK THE NISSAN FRONTIER TO A DEALER TO GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED AND THAT TOLD US THAT THEY WOULD NOT FIX THE PROBLEM FOR FREE (AS STATED WOULD HAPPEN IN THE RECALL NOTICE) BECAUSE THE VEHICLE HAD TOO MANY MILES ON IT. THEY CONFUSINGLY TRIED TO DESCRIBE THAT THE ISSUE WAS A WARRANTY EXTENSION AND NOT A RECALL. WE THEN CALL NISSAN NATIONAL CUSTOMER AFFAIRS AND THEY CONFUSED THINGS EVEN MORE. I WAS TOLD BY A SERVICE REP MANAGER THAT THERE WAS 2 SERVICE PROGRAMS FOR THE PROBLEM WE WERE HAVING. ONE WAS A "RECALL" THAT WOULD BE FIXED WITHOUT DATE OR MILEAGE LIMITS. IN THIS SITUATION, THE PROBLEM CAUSED THE FUEL GAUGE TO BE STUCK ON FULL. THE OTHER WAS A "WARRANTY EXTENSION" THAT HAD A DATE OR MILEAGE LIMITATION. IN THIS SITUATION, THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD BE STUCK AT ABOUT 1/4 TANK WHEN THE TANK WAS REALLY LESS THAN THAT OR EMPTY. THIS IS COMPLETELY INACCURATE INFORMATION REGARDING WHAT IS STATED IN THIS SAFETY RECALL CAMPAIGN. I WAS TOLD BY THE NATIONAL SERVICE REP MANAGER THAT NISSAN WILL NOT FIX THIS PROBLEM UNDER THIS RECALL CAMPAIGN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO RUN OUT FUEL, EVEN THOUGH THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED A READING INDICATING THAT FUEL WAS PRESENT IN THE FUEL TANK. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALSO ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FUEL SENDING UNIT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 10V075000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:AUXILLARY TANK). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 162,000.

REAR AXLE SEAL FAILURE CAUSED LUBRICANT TO COAT EMERGENCY BRAKE, RESULTING IN SLIPPAGE. *TR

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SLIPPED WHEN CHANGING GEARS WHEN VEHICLE WAS COLD. TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE AND WAS TOLD WATER WAS IN THE TRANSMISSION CAUSED BY A LEAK IN THE RADIATOR. PROBLEM WAS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE NISSAN DESIGN AND SINCE IT WAS PAST THE 80K MILE WARRANTY IT WAS NOT COVERED. RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION BOTH WOULD HAVE TO BE REPAIRED OR REPLACED. *TR

A TRANSMISSION LINE FROM THE COOLER RUNS THROUGH THE RADIATOR. THE LINE FAILED ALLOWING FLUID FROM THE RADIATOR TO ENTER THE TRANSMISSION. THIS CAUSED MASSIVE VIBRATIONS AND VEHICLE STALLING WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE ONTO THE FREEWAY OR TO PASS, CREATING A HAZARDOUS SITUATION IN TRAFFIC. *KB

DRIVERS SIDE REAR AXLE SEAL FAILED ALLOWING DIFFERENTIAL OIL TO LEAK ONTO BRAKE PADS AND ROTOR. THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE THING THAT COULD LEAD TO REDUCED BRAKING IN AN EMERGENCY AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. *TR

BRAKE HARD TO AVOID COLLISION WITH DEER CROSSING HIGHWAY AND VEHICLE DID NOT STOP QUICKLY AS EXPECTED. DUE FOR DISC BRAKE PAD REPLACEMENT IN THE FUTURE AND THIS INCIDENT PROMPTED A CHECK OF BRAKE COMPONENTS. DISCOVERED LEFT AND RIGHT REAR AXLE SEALS, PINION SEAL AND REAR DIFFERENTIAL COVER LEAKING DIFFERENTIAL FLUID. REAR BRAKE CALIPERS, BRAKE PADS, PARKING BRAKE ASSEMBLIES AND ROTORS WERE COVERED WITH DIFFERENTIAL FLUID. ENTIRE REAR DIFFERENTIAL ASSEMBLY OVERPRESSURIZED DUE TO FAULTY, POORLY DESIGNED OEM CHECK RELIEF VALVE, RESULTING IN FAILURE OF ALL SEALS. SAME CONCERN AS IN SERVICE BULLETIN NTB-10-008. SAME PROBLEM WITH NISSAN FRONTIER, XTERRA, TITAN AND ARMADA MODELS. NISSAN ADMITS THAT FLUID FROM THE REAR AXLE LEAKING ONTO THE BRAKE PADS IS A CONCERN, BUT WILL NOT ADDRESS WHY THE AXLE SEALS ARE FAILING AT AN ALARMING AND PREMATURE RATE. A RECALL IS NEEDED FOR NISSAN TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR DESIGN FLAW. ALL FLUIDS PERSONALLY CHANGED OUT AT 66,680 MILES ON 8/25/2011 AND THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF LEAKAGE ANYWHERE AT THAT TIME. *TR

I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN 2007 WITH 40,000 MILES ON IT. IT HAS BEEN SHIMMYING ON THE HIGHWAY SINCE I HIT 60,000 MILES AND IN SPITE OF HAVING MY TIRES RE-ALIGNED AND BALANCED, IT STILL CONTINUES TO ROCK BACK AND FORTH AT SPEEDS OVER 50 MILES AN HOUR. I JUST HIT MY 100,000 MILE MARK ON THE FIRST OF OCTOBER. ON OCTOBER 18TH, I WAS AT MY SON'S DAYCARE AND THE TRUCK STARTED IDLING STRANGELY. THE TRUCK WAS PUTTERING AND EXHAUSTING BLACK SMOKE. IT DIED IN THE PARKING LOT AND I TRIED NUMEROUS TIMES TO GET IT STARTED. IT TOOK ABOUT 20 MINUTES OF TRYING BUT I GOT IT RUNNING AGAIN, ONLY TO HAVE IT DIE ON ME IN TRAFFIC. ONCE AGAIN, I GOT IT STARTED AND MANAGED TO GET IT HOME WHERE IT COMPLETELY DIED. WHEN I WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO THE DEALERSHIP (AFTER A LOCAL MECHANIC LOOKED AT IT AND COULDN'T GET IT STARTED) THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME I HAD AN ENGINE IDLE AIR CONTROL SENSOR THAT WAS RECALLED BY NISSAN. I NEVER RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE BUT WAS RELIEVED THAT MY BILL WAS COVERED. LESS THAN A WEEK AFTER THE SENSOR HAD BEEN REPLACED, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME MY CATALYTIC CONVERTERS HAD BURNED OUT. FROM WHAT I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO RESEARCH ONLINE, THE FAILURE OF MY CATALYTIC CONVERTERS IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO AN OUT OF TUNE ENGINE (TOO MUCH AIR OR FUEL) WHICH WAS CAUSED BY THE SENSOR BEING DEFECTIVE. NISSAN DOESN'T SEE IT THAT WAY AND NOW I'M STUCK WITH A $3500 REPAIR BILL ON A TRUCK I STILL OWE MONEY ON AND HAVE OWNED FOR LESS THAN FOUR YEARS. *TR

PURCHASED A NEW NISSAN FRONTIER 2006 MODEL. AT 85000 MILES TRANSMISSION STARTED SHIFTING HARD AND SOONER THAN IT SHOULD. LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP TOLD ME I NEEDED A NEW TRANS AT THE COST OF $5780 AND CHANGE. I STILL DRIVE SAID VEHICLE FOR I HAVE NO CHOICE AND TRANS IS GETTING WORSE. IF TRANS LOCKS UP WHILE DRIVING COULD CAUSE SAFETY ISSUE. EVEN THOUGH VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY TRANSMISSION SHOULD LAST MORE THAN 85000 MILES. NISSAN REFUSED TO HELP. *TR

MY TRUCK SUFFERS FROM 2 KNOWN PROBLEMS THAT HAS BEEN WIDELY REPORTED AND ARE INVOLVED IN TWO NISSAN TSBS. I HAVE THE FAULTY FUEL SENDING UNIT AND THE WHINING TIMING BELT TENSIONER. I AM NOT GETTING ANY HELP FROM NISSAN AND JUST GET A FLAT 'YOUR WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED' STATEMENT FROM THEM. I FEEL THAT THEY SHOULD FIX THESE PROBLEMS OR AT LEAST OFFER A VERY REDUCED RATE FOR THE REPAIR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE RADIATOR BECAME CLOGGED BY WHAT HAD DEVELOPED INTO A JELLY TYPE OF SUBSTANCE AND DESTROYED THE RADIATOR. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION AND POSSIBLE REPAIRS BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF THE FAILURE DESTROYING THE TRANSMISSION AS WELL. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING HIS 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER AND WAS ABOUT TO MERGE ONTO THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE CAR IN FRONT OF HIM THREW ON HIS BRAKES. HE WAS ONLY DRIVING AT LESS THAN 10 MPH AND TAPPED THE CAR IN FRONT OF HIM. THE DRIVER'S FRONT AIRBAG DEPLOYED SMACKING HIM IN THE FACE. NO ONE COULD EVER EXPLAIN WHY IT WOULD DEPLOY WITH SUCH A LIGHT IMPACT. FYI PASSENGER SIDE FRONT AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY! *TR

FUEL GAUGE NOT ACCURATE/NOT WORKING PROPERLY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD RATTLING NOISE COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE WITH A WORN TIMING CHAIN TENSIONER GUIDE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 78,400 AND THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 78,000. NO REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC I LOOKED IN MY REARVIEW MIRROR AND THEN BACK TO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. I WAS DOING 15-20 MPH AND SAW THEY HAD STOPPED AND I WAS IN DANGER OF A COLLISION IF FAST ACTION WASN'T TAKEN. WHEN DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL IN A PANIC MANNER THE VEHICLE DID NOT SLOW DUE THE ACCELERATOR BEING DEPRESSED AT THE SAME TIME AS THE BRAKE DUE TO THE CLOSENESS OF THE PEDAL. THIS RESULTED IN A ACCIDENT INVOLVING 3 AUTOS INCLUDING MY 2006 FRONTIER SE 4X4. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN NOTED SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE BY THE CPSC. *TR
