STEERING
MY STEERING WHEEL IS LOOSE ON MY 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER PICKUP. IT WOBBLES ABOUT 1/2 TO 1 INCH IN EACH DIRECTION. THE CAR STILL STEERS OK BUT I'M CONCERNED THAT IT WILL FAIL WHILE I'M DRIVING. I HAVE ASKED THE DEALER ABOUT AND THEY SAY IT WILL COST $400 TO CHECK AND REPLACE IT. I SEE THIS REPORTED ON NUMEROUS FORUMS AS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. SEEMS LIKE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. *TR

VISIBILITY
THE SUNVISOR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE OF MY 2009 NISSAN FRONTIER DOES NOT STAY IN PLACE. IT HAS FALLEN NUMEROUS TIMES BLOCKING MY VISION WHEN DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. ADDITIONALLY, WHEN THE SUNVISOR IS DOWN IT VIBRATES AT YOUR EYE LEVEL AND SEVERELY DISTRACTS THE DRIVER. NOW, I AM ALWAYS WATCHING THE SUNVISOR TO MAKE SURE IT DOES NOT BLOCK MY VISION. NOTE: I HAD THE DRIVERS SIDE SUNVISOR REPLACED WHEN THE TRUCK WAS ABOUT TWO MONTHS OLD. *TR

THE FUEL GAUGE ACTS ERRATICALLY, I CAN FILL THE GAS TANK UP WITH FUEL BUT THE NEEDLE STILL SHOWS THAT I'M EMPTY. I'M SURE IT'S THE FUEL SENDING UNIT. THE VEHICLE HAS 44000 MILES ON IT NOW, AND AROUND 38,000 MILES WHEN THIS OCCURRED. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECT. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FUEL TANK LEVEL GAUGE NOT WORKING PROPERLY, AND SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT ON. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE THE FUEL SENDING UNIT/SENSOR. I WENT ONLINE TO X.NISSANHELP.COM AFTER PERFORMING A SEARCH, I CAME ACROSS MANY OTHERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. VEHICLES THAT ARE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM ARE: 2005-2007 FRONTIERS, XTERRAS, AND PATHFINDERS. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE WITH SO MANY OTHERS HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM. THIS COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE NOT KNOWING THE CORRECT LEVEL OF FUEL IN YOUR VEHICLE. SOMEONE COULD RUN OUT OF GAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND PUT THEIR LIVE OR SOMEONE ELSE'S IN JEOPARDY. THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING AROUND APPROX. 39,000 TO 50,000 MILEAGE ON ODOMETER. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES, STRUCTURE:BODY:TAILGATE
TAIL GATE FALLS OFF WHEN OPENING. THE REMOVABLE TAILGATE IS BOTH LIGHT ENOUGH AND DOES NOT HAVE A CATCH ON THE HINGE TO PREVENT THE GATE FROM FALLING OUT WHEN LIFTING UP ON THE TAILGATE LATCH WITH ONE HAND. THIS CAN ALSO HAPPEN IF THERE IS ANY SNOW ON THE BACK BUMPER. THIS IS BOTH A SAFETY CONCERN, AS I HAD THE GATE FALL OFF WITH A LOAD OF WOOD IN MY HANDS CAUSING ME TO DROP EVERYTHING, AND IT DAMAGES THE VEHICLE AS THE TAILGATE RIGHT REAR CORNER GETS CAUGHT IN THE BODY MOUNTED HINGE. THE RESULT OF THIS IS THE RIGHT REAR CORNER OF THE TAILGATE IS BENT ~90. I HAVE TAKEN THIS BACK TO THE DEALER 2 TIMES FOR THE PROBLEM AND FILED A REPORT WITH NISSAN USA. BOTH NISSAN AND THE DEALER CLAIM THIS IS A DESIGN FEATURE - REMOVABLE TAILGATE. IN OBSERVING OTHER FRONTIERS, IT IS APPARENT THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE THIS PROBLEM JUDGING BY THE NUMBER OF DAMAGED TAILGATES ARE OUT THERE. EVERYONE I WORK WITH THAT OWNS A FRONTIER HAS HAD THE GATE FALL OFF. IN LOOKING ONLINE - IT APPEARS TO AFFECT NISSAN FRONTIER TRUCKS BACK TO 2005. MINE FELL OFF 3 DAYS AFTER TAKING DELIVERY DAMAGING THE TAILGATE, AND DOES EVERY TIME YOU OPEN IT IF YOU DON'T USE 2 HANDS, ONE TO LIFT UP THE LATCH, ONE TO HOLD THE GATE IN THE HINGES. I HAVE OWNED 3 TRUCKS, INCLUDING A 2001 NISSAN FRONTIER FOR A PERIOD OF 7 YEARS. I AM AWARE THAT TAILGATES ARE REMOVABLE AND THAT YOU MUST CLEAN DEBRIS OFF THE BUMPER PRIOR TO OPENING THEM. I WAS NOT AWARE THE TAILGATE SHOULD FALL OUT OF IT'S HINGES WHEN OPENING. *TR

NHTSA CAMPAIGN # 10V075000. NISSAN STATES THAT OUR TRUCK'S VIN # IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AT THIS TIME. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND TESTING SHOWS THAT THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR CIRCUIT HIGH INPUT AS THE PROBABLE CAUSE. WE CALLED NISSAN AT 800-647-7261 TWICE. BOTH TIMES WE WERE GIVEN A REF. # [XXX] . WE NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH GAS WE HAVE...MY HUSBAND JUST RAN OUT TODAY GOING TO THE STORE AND THE FUEL GAGE SHOWED THAT WE HAD GAS. VERY FRIGHTENING. THANK GOODNESS HE WAS NOT ON THE FREEWAY!!!!!! *TR
