POWER TRAIN
I HAVE A 98 FRONTIER WHICH HAS TWICE IN THE LAST SIX MONTHS INEXPLICABLY REVED THE ENGINE, ON IT'S OWN, TO ALMOST 6000 RPMS IN CONJUNCTION WITH THIS IS AN INCREASE IN SPEED. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I HAD JUST LEFT A GARAGE FROM HAVING A TUNE-UP & OIL CHANGE. THE NEXT WAS ON A VERY NARROW COUNTRY ROAD. IT DIDN'T MATTER WHAT GEAR IT WAS IN , I HAVE A 5 SPEED, OR REVERSE. IT IS VERY FRIGHTENING WHEN THIS HAPPENS & THE MECHANIC CAN FIND NO REASON FOR IT. I WORRY ABOUT IT HAPPENING IN THE WINTER ON ICY ROADS. THIS IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS, VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
FIRST NOTICEABLE COMPLAINT IS THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION THAT DOES NOT SHIFT BACK DOWN IN LOWER GEAR WHEN CLIMBING A HILL. IT JERKS AND SHAKES AT THAT MOMENT.SECONDLY, THE TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR DOES NOT GO OFF AFTER CORRECTING THE TIRE PRESSURE AND KEEPING IT CONSTANT. WERE TOLD THE DEALER WILL HAVE TO RESET,WHICH THEY DID ONCE AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN SO FOR 2 YEARS WE HAVE JUST LIVED WITH IT, KEEPING CHECK ON TIRE PRESSURE THE OLD WAY. LAST BUT DEFINITELY NOT LEAST FOR THIS IS THE COST FACTOR INVOLVED, IS THE ALIGNMENT CANNOT BE DONE DUE TO NEEDING TO PURCHASE AND HAVE INSTALLED 4 CAMBER KITS! NISSAN SHOULD HAVE DONE THIS ALREADY FOR A $25,000 VEHICLE!! OH AND FINALLY THIS JUST HAPPENED BUT THE REAR PASSENGER POWER WINDOW SWITCH WENT COMPLETELY OUT! *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER
THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR HAS FAILED IN MY 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER. I HAVE DONE A LITTLE RESEARCH AND FOUND SEVERAL OTHERS COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. I CALLED MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER ANY WARRANTY OR RECALL. I WAS TOLD THAT THE REPLACEMENT OF THIS SENSOR WILL COST ALMOST $500.00. PLEASE HELP INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I OWN A 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER SE 4X4 CREW CAB PICKUP. I PURCHASED THE AFOREMENTIONED VEHICLE NEW IN 2007. RECENTLY THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. SHORTLY AFTER THE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON I BEGAN TO NOTICE MY FUEL GAUGE NEEDLE DROPPING TO EMPTY OR NEAR EMPTY WHEN I KNEW I HAD AT LEAST 1/4 TANK OF GASOLINE. IF I SHUT THE ENGINE OFF AND STARTED IT BACK UP THE FUEL GAUGE NEEDLE WOULD INDICATE 1/4 TANK, AND THEN SHORTLY AFTERWARD DROP TO EMPTY OR NEAR EMPTY. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT THAT THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE VERY COMMON AND SHOULD WARRANT A RECALL. MY VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY 45,800 MILES ON IT. IN MY OPINION RUNNING OUT OF FUEL OR BEING DISTRACTED BY A MALFUNCTIONING FUEL GAUGE COULD LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT. I REQUEST THAT THIS PROBLEM IS INVESTIGATED AND A RECALL IS INITIATED IMMEDIATELY. THANK YOU FOR READING THIS. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER
FUEL GAUGE ON THE TRUCK BECAME INACCURATE CAUSING ENGINE TO UNEXPECTEDLY STOP RUNNING FROM LACK OF FUEL. THIS CREATED A DANGEROUS CONDITION IN NOT BEING ABLE TO CONTROL THE TRUCK IN HIGH SPEED TRAFFIC. NISSAN DEALER SAID THE FUEL SENSOR IN THE TANK HAD FAILED AND WAS NOT COVERED UNDER MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY DUE TO EXCEEDING MILEAGE AND TIME WARRANTY. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
ON OR ABOUT 7-15-10, I FILLED THE FUEL TANK IN MY 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER SE CREW CAB TO CAPACITY. WITHIN SECONDS OF STARTING AND DRIVING THE VEHICLE AFTERWARDS, THE "SERVICE ENGINE" WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND MY FUEL GAUGE INDICATOR DROPPED TO THE HALF-FULL MARK. IT HAS BEEN ERRATIC SINCE THAT EVENT AND HAS NOT PROPERLY INDICATED HOW MUCH FUEL REMAINS IN THE TANK. ON 7-16-10, I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FROM WHICH IT WAS PURCHASED. THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AND ADVISED THE VEHICLE NEEDED A NEW FUEL SENDING UNIT. THEY ALSO ADVISED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THAT PART, ALTHOUGH THERE WAS A RECALL ON THAT PART FOR THE NISSAN TITAN. THROUGH RESEARCH, I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT NISSAN HAS HAD PREVIOUS RECALLS ON FUEL SENDING UNITS ON OTHER MODEL YEARS AND VEHICLES, AND MANY OWNERS HAVE POSTED THE SIMILAR PROBLEM ONLINE, SPECIFICALLY REGARDING THE FUEL SENDING UNIT ON THE 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER. NISSAN IS AT THIS TIME UNWILLING TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM AT THEIR COST, WHICH I FIND FRUSTRATING AS IT IS AN OBVIOUS PART PROBLEM. MY CONCERN IS THAT AN INACCURATE FUEL LEVEL READING CAUSED BY THIS FAULTY UNIT COULD LEAD TO A STALLED VEHICLE IN TRAFFIC, POSING A CONSIDERABLE SAFETY RISK. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
DROVE THE TRUCK WITH THE LOW FUEL WARNING LIGHT ON FOR SEVERAL MILES. UPON FILLING UP THE TANK, THE LOW FUEL LIGHT REMAINED ON AND NEEDLE SHOWED EMPTY. SHORTLY AFTERWARD, THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. MIL CODE IS P0463 - FUEL LEVEL SENSOR PROBLEM. RESETTING THE CODE WORKS FOR A FEW DAYS BUT THEN THE MIL LIGHT COMES BACK ON. THE GAS GAUGE IS ERRATIC, SOMETIMES SHOWING EMPTY WHEN IT'S NOT. SO WE HAVE TO TRACK THE APPROXIMATE FUEL REMAINING BY USING THE TRIP ODOMETER. *TR

THE FUEL GAUGE SHOWS THE VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY 1/4 TANK OF FUEL. IT SEEMS TO STAY THERE FOR SOME TIME, THEN AFTER SOME MILEAGE DROPS COMPLETELY BELOW EMPTY, THE FUEL WARNING COMES ON SOLID (NOT GRADUAL BEFORE THIS FAILURE). ALL INDICATIONS UPON FILLING UP IS THAT THE TANK IS CLOSE TO EMPTY. ALL INDICATIONS APPEAR TO BE IDENTICAL WITH A SIMILAR RECALL FOR THE SAME RECALL FOR THE NISSAN FRONTIER XE MODELS BOTH BEFORE AND AFTERWARD IN THE 2006 MODEL YEAR. MINE MANUFACTURED 08/06. THAT RECALL IS NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10V075000. *TR

STEERING
WE BOUGHT A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER 2WD PICKUP. THE STEERING COLUMN WAS A LITTLE LOOSE BUT THE DEALER ASSURED US IT WAS OK. THE VEHICLE HAS 28,000 MILES ON IT AND WE ARE BEING TOLD THAT THE STEERING COLUMN BEARING HAS FAILED AND MUST BE REPLACED AND THAT THIS IS A COMMON AND RECURRENT PROBLEM ON CERTAIN NISSAN VEHICLES. THIS IS AN IMMEDIATE SAFETY ISSUE AS THE FAILURE OF THE BEARING LEADS TO LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL. WHEN WE CONTACTED THE DEALER WE WERE TOLD THAT NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED, ALTHOUGH MANY COMPLAINTS WERE RECEIVED. FURTHER RESEARCH INDICATES THAT THE BEARING BEING SOLD FOR REPLACEMENT IS THE SAME AS THE ORIGINAL PART AND MAY FAIL AGAIN. *TR
