FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FUEL GAGE INDICATED THAT I HAD A BIT LESS THAN 1/2 TANK OF FUEL. RUN OUT OF FUEL AS THE FUEL SENDING UNIT WAS DISPLAYING THE WRONG AMOUNT OF FUEL SHORTLY AFTER THAT THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A REPAIR SHOP WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A P0463 CODE DEFECTIVE FUEL SENDING UNIT. CALLED NISSAN OF NORTH AMERICA FOR SUPPORT WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER IN ORDER FOR NISSAN TO HONOR THE WARRANTY. SPENT $106 DOLLARS THE FIRST TIME AT THE SHOP AND THEN $104 AT THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP. AFTER SEVERAL CALLS TO NISSAN NORTH AMERICA CUSTOMER AFFAIRS I WAS TOLD THAT THE FUEL SENDING UNIT IS NOT COVERED, THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE THAT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING HOW CAN IT BE POSSIBLE THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED, IT ONLY HAS 33K MILES...THIS IS A LARGER ISSUE THAT NEEDS ATTENTION BY NHTSA AS THERE HAS BEEN DOCUMENTED ACCIDENTS FROM PEOPLE RUNNING OUT OF FUEL ON THE FREEWAY. I'VE RUN OUT OF FUEL 3 TIMES IN THE PAST 3 MONTHS AS I DEAL WITH NISSAN TO SEE IF THEY CAN DO ANYTHING ABOUT MY ISSUE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
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.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
TRAVELING ALONG HWY 209 IN BIGFORK, MT, I NOTICED MY GAS GAUGE NEEDLE DROP FROM 1/2 TANK TO BELOW ZERO AND IMMEDIATELY THE FUEL LIGHT CAME ON ALONG WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. A MILE DOWN THE ROAD AND THE ENGINE STALLED AND HAD TO MAKE AN EMERGENCY PULL-OVER WITH MY TWO YOUNG CHILDREN IN THE CAR. THANKFULLY, THE TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT THAT DAY, I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER SAFELY, AND I HAD CELL SERVICE. I CALLED MY HUSBAND AND LET HIM KNOW WHAT HAPPENED. HE BROUGHT GAS AND, SURE ENOUGH, THE TRUCK STARTED ONCE AGAIN, BUT DID NOT REGISTER FUEL AGAIN UNTIL I FILLED THE TANK COMPLETELY. IT CONTINUES TO REPEAT THIS CYCLE WHERE IT WILL REGISTER UNTIL A CERTAIN FUEL LEVEL AND THEN THE NEEDLE WILL DIVE TO BELOW EMPTY.

HAD TO REPLACE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION SINCE THE CAR WAS NOT RESPONDING WELL AND WAS NOT ABLE TO RUN PROPERLY. CALLED NISSAN THREE TIMES TO ASK FOR SOME FINANCIAL SUPPORT AND THEY DENIED IT. *TR

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE
TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING BAD, AND THE COOLANT WAS LOOKING BROWNISH RED. TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS IN THE RADIATOR AND THROUGH OUT BOTH THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET CHECK-OUT THEY SAID MY WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED AND THAT THIS WOULDN'T BE COVERED. WOULD NEED TO REPLACE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION.... COSTING ME $ 2,731.25. ALTHOUGH THIS IS A KNOWN FACT THAT NISSAN IS HAVING A GOOD AMOUNT OF PROBLEMS WITH VARIOUS NISSAN MODEL INCLUDING MY NISSAN FRONTIER. VERY UNHAPPY NISSAN CUSTOMER OF MANY YEARS..... NOW I'M STARTING TO HAVE TIMING BELT ISSUES WHICH FALLS UNDER ANOTHER NISSAN FRONTIER PROBLEM. WILL HAVE TO GET FIXED AT MY OWN EXPENSE. MY DEALERSHIP KNOW THESE THINGS BUT ARE NOT OPEN ABOUT THESE FACT. I TAKE MY FRONTIER IN FOR MAINTENANCE NOTHING EVER SAID AND NEVER SEEM TO GET RECALL NOTICES EITHER.... *TR

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
WAS DRIVING 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER WHEN 4WD LIGHT CAME ON AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. SLOWED DOWN AND CAME TO A STOP. WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE, THERE WAS NO RESPONSE. APPARENTLY, TRANSMISSION IS RUINED DUE TO A KNOWN DEFECT WITH THE RADIATOR WHERE COOLANT LEAKS INTO THE TRANSMISSION. NISSAN NEVER ISSUED A RECALL FOR THE RADIATOR ASSEMBLY, JUST EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 100,000 MILES, LEAVING THE CONSUMER RESPONSIBLE TO FIXED CATASTROPHIC TRANSMISSION FAILURE. COST $6500. *TR

ENGINE
NISSAN FRONTIER HAS BEEN JERKING SPORADICALLY FOR A MONTH DRIVING LOCALLY AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS CITY OR HIGHWAY. I ASSUMED IT WAS CHEAP FUEL AND A NEEDED TUNE UP. I DECIDED TO TAKE THE TRUCK IN FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AT FIRESTONE AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OR ISSUE OF THE JERKING. REQUESTED DIAGRAMS OF THE ENGINE WAS UNREADABLE AND NO HELP. FIRESTONE RECOMMENDED I TAKE IT TO THE NISSAN DEALER. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE NISSAN DEALER AND THEY QUOTED A $5000 PLUS REPAIR BILL. THIS SEEM OUT OF THE ORDINARY FOR SIMPLE JERKING AND NO OTHER SYMPTOMS. IN ADDITION THEY HAD NOTED ON THE DIAGNOSTIC AND REPAIR BILL SOME OTHER REPAIRS THAT OBVIOUS NEEDED FIXING AS GOOD CONDITION. IMMEDIATELY I KNEW THAT THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST PERFORMED WAS FALSE- THE MECHANIC DID NOT DIAGNOSE/TEST MY VEHICLE CORRECTLY AND THE REPAIR QUOTED WAS DUE TO AN ISSUE THEY NEW ABOUT FROM THE START. THAT'S WHEN I STARTED DOING ONLINE RESEARCH TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS ARE PROBLEMS GOING ON WITH THE NISSAN FRONTIER. MY GUESS WAS CORRECT. NISSAN IS AWARE OF THIS FAULT REGARDING THE TRANSMISSION AND SUBSEQUENT ISSUE OF THE RADIATOR. NISSAN DEALERS ARE THEN CHARGING CUSTOMERS TO FIX AN ISSUE THAT WILL RE-APPEAR. CUSTOMERS SHOULD HAVE SOME RECOURSE OTHER THAN SPEND THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS ON PRODUCT DEFECT AND THAT RECOURSE SHOULD BE A RECALL OF THESE DEFECTIVE VEHICLES TO BE REPAIRED. WHERE IS THE FAIRNESS AND WHY DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE OR BE SERIOUSLY INJURED TO PROVE THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT IN THE PRODUCT, NISSAN KNOWS ITS A DEFECT. *TR

POWER TRAIN
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

STRUCTURE:BODY, SEATS
I SENT A COMPLAINT ONCE. HAVE NOT HEARD BACK FROM YOU YET. THIS TRUCK WAS PURCHASED ON MARCH 6TH, 2015 AND DELIVERED ON MARCH 8TH, 2015 WITH MFG DEFECTS AND NISSAN REFUSES TO STAND BY THEIR WARRANTY AND REPLACE, REFUND, OR FIX THE PROBLEMS. ONE IS UNABLE TO BE FIXED AND SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A LEMON IN OREGON. THE TRUCK BED IS OUT OF ALIGNMENT BY 9MM. THE DRIVER'S SIDE HAS A LARGER GAP BETWEEN THE CAB AND BED THAN THE PASSENGER'S SIDE. THE DRIVER'S SEAT HAS A 1 INCH GAP THAT DOES NOT BELONG THERE IN THE FOLD BETWEEN THE BACK AND THE CUSHION. THIS IS UGLY AND DOES NOT MATCH THE PASSENGER SEAT. THESE ARE BOTH NOTICEABLE FLAWS BY THE NAKED EYE, VEHICLES ARE BEING SOLD WHICH ARE OUT OF ALIGNMENT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A SAFETY AND MANUFACTURE DEFECT. DEFECTS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE COVERED BY WARRANTY AND NISSAN REFUSES TO ADDRESS THESE ISSUES OR BUY BACK THE VEHICLE. THERE ARE ALSO RUSTING PARTS ON UNDERCARRIAGE, AND WAS A LEAK IN THE REAR DOOR SEAT BELT CHAMBER WHICH HAD STAINED THE SEAT BELT, AND THERE WAS GLUE APPLIED AT DEALER TO CORRECT THE LEAK ONLY THEY LIED ABOUT FIXING IT SO THEY WOULD NOT REPLACE THE STAINED SEAT BELT. YOU CAN SEE THE GLUE. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, POWER TRAIN
MY 2005 NISSAN FRONTIER HAS CROSS CONTAMINATION BETWEEN THE RADIATOR AND THE TRANSMISSION. NISSAN NEW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM YEARS AGO. TO FIX THE PROBLEM THEY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY OUT TO 10 YEARS. NOW I NEED A NEW RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION. MY COST 3000 DOLLARS. I ONLY HAD A MONTH LEFT BEFORE I WAS [XXX] OUT OF LUCK. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR 35 YEARS AND HAVE NEVER HAD TO REPLACE A TRANSMISSION THAT ONLY HAD 67000 MILES ON IT. POOR DESIGN AND THE CONSUMER PAYS. THEY WANTED TO KNOW IF I WAS GOING TO FIX IT. I TOLD THEM I HAD 2 CHOICES FIX IT OR SET IT ON FIRE. THEY GAVE ME A STRANGE LOOK. I TOLD THEM TO REPAIR IT AND I WOULD BUT TOYOTA NEXT TIME.

WITH NO WARNING THE TRUCK WOULD NOT START, AND JUST STOPPED WORKING. WE HOOKED IT UP TO THE CODE READER AND DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE. WHAT WE FOUND WAS REALLY TROUBLING. WE BIT THE BULLET AND PAID TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER LOOKED IT OVER AND SAID THAT THE RADIATOR CONTAMINATED THE TRANSMISSION CAUSING A FAILURE IN BOTH. THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION, ALL THE SEALS AND HOSES, THE RADIATOR AND THE COMPUTER. THESE REPAIRS WERE QUOTED TO BE $8,000. WE JUST BOUGHT THE TRUCK WHICH IS WORTH $11,000 AND NOW WE ARE HIT WITH AN $8,000 REPAIR BILL? THIS IS A MAJOR MANUFACTURER FAILURE AND WAS ALREADY PART OF A CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT, BUT SINCE YOU HAD TO BE A PART OF THE CLASS ACTION SUIT BEFORE WE EVEN OWNED THE TRUCK WE ARE JUST OUT OF LUCK? NISSAN NEEDS TO BUY THIS TRUCK AT FULL VALUE FROM US, INSTEAD THEY ARE TRYING TO TAKE US FOR ANOTHER $8,000. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER. AFTER FILLING UP THE VEHICLE WITH FUEL AND DRIVING, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE STARTED TO DROP TOWARDS EMPTY. THE FAILURE CORRECTED ITSELF, BUT THE SECOND TIME THE FAILURE OCCURRED, THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE SENDER INSIDE THE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE PART WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED.

MY 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER IS EXPERIENCING WHAT MANY OTHER FRONTIER TRUCK OWNER ARE EXPERIENCING...THE DREADED INACCURATE FUEL GAUGE READINGS ALONG WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I AM BLOWN AWAY THAT NISSAN HAS NOT HAD THE COURAGE TO ORDER A RECALL ON THIS WELL KNOWN ISSUE. HOPEFULLY THIS WILL NOT RESULT IN A NUMBER OF FATALITIES BEFORE THEY "DO THE RIGHT THING". VERY UNFORTUNATE AND A POOR FORM OF CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR OWNERS WHO WILL MOST LIKELY SEEK A DIFFERENT BRAND AS THERE NEXT PURCHASE. *TR

THE DASHBOARD GIVES ERRONEOUS READINGS, THIS INCLUDES THE ODOMETER, THE SPEEDOMETER, FUEL GAUGE , HEAT GAUGE. THIS MAY CAUSE AN OVER HEATING OF VEHICLE, ERRONEOUS SPEEDS, RUNNING OUT OF FUEL, ERRONEOUS ODOMETER. NISSAN WILL NOT PAY FOR DIAGNOSIS STATING THE DEALER IS IN COMPLETE CHARGE OF PRICING FOR DIAGNOSIS OF 100.00 WITH NO GUARANTEE OF REIMBURSEMENT. THE MAKER OF VEHICLE SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE NOT THE DEALER AFTER ALL NISSAN MADE THE VEHICLE. WHILE CHECKING ONLINE IT APPEARS TO BE A PREVALENT ISSUE WITH NISSAN FRONTIERS TRUCKS. VARIOUS CALLS HAVE BEEN ON DEAF EARS. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY, SEAT BELTS, SEATS
NISSAN HAS FAILED TO DO AN INLINE LASER RADAR INSPECTION, OR PROPER INSPECTIONS ON SOME ASSEMBLY OF ITS TRUCKS. I PURCHASED A DEFECTIVE FRONTIER KING CAB S AUTOMATIC AND NISSAN HAS NOT YET AGREED TO TAKE IT BACK. THE TRUCK BED OR CAB IS OFF BY 9MM OR MORE. BOLTS AND WELDS WERE NOT PROPERLY ALIGNED DURING ASSEMBLY AND NOR WERE CHECKED FOR QUALITY AND CONSISTENCY AFTER ASSEMBLY AND THEN SOLD TO CONSUMERS WITH FAULTS AS THERE ARE SEVERAL OF THESE TRUCKS OUT THERE WITH THIS DEFECT. I FOUND 2 AT ANOTHER DEALER WHICH WERE FREE FROM THIS DEFECT. THAT IS THE VEHICLE I WANTED. WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY AT 60MPG OR LESS, THERE IS A SHAKE OR IMBALANCE IN THE STEERING, AND NEEDS CONSTANT ADJUSTMENT. IT SEEMS TO VEER OFF TO THE RIGHT WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL IS IN A STRAIGHT POSITION.THIS COULD BE CAUSED BY THE WHOLE TRUCK BEING OUT OF ALIGNMENT OR EVEN JUST THE TRUCK BED. AFTER REPORTING IT TO NISSAN, THEY TOLD ME TO TAKE IT TO THE SERVICE SHOP AND HAVE IT DOCUMENTED. IT WAS REPORTED TO ME THAT IN THEIR DATABASE THIS CROOKED BED HAS COME UP AND THEY ATTEMPTED TO BUT WERE UNABLE TO REPAIR IT.I WAS TOLD DISASSEMBLING THE BODY OF A VEHICLE IS NOT ONLY DANGEROUS BUT IS DAMAGING, SO THEY TOLD ME THIS IS HOW NISSAN MAKES THEM, NOTHING THEY CAN DO. BUT SINCE THEN I FOUND SOME WITHOUT FLAWS, SO WHAT HE SAID IS NOT TRUE. MY TRUCK'S DRIVER SIDE HAS A LARGE GAP BETWEEN THE BACK OF THE CAB AND THE TRUCK BED 9MM OFF. THE CAB DOOR ON MY TRUCK LEAKED WATER INTO THE SEAT BELT CHAMBER, SOAKING AND STAINING THE SEAT BELT, AND ALSO HAS A DEFECTIVE DRIVER'S SEAT WHICH HAS A ONE INCH GAP BETWEEN THE CHAIR BACK AND SEAT CUSHION. THIS IS NOT NORMAL ON OTHER EXACT MODELS I LOOKED AT AND PHOTOGRAPHED. THIS IS NOT THE WAY THE ENGINEERS DESIGNED THIS MODEL OF TRUCKS. I WAS TOLD THAT THE DRIVER SEAT DEFECT ALSO IS SIMPLY HOW NISSAN DESIGNED IT ANOTHER LIE. RUST IS ALSO AN ISSUE. *TR
