SERVICE BRAKES, POWER TRAIN
BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT AXLES SEALS FAILED CAUSING GEAR OIL TO SATURATE THE REAR DISC BRAKE PADS, ROTOR AND EMERGENCY BRAKE SHOES. EXTREME DECREASED BRAKING, WHICH COULD HAVE LED TO AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS A TRUE SAFETY PROBLEM, WHICH SEEMS TO BE QUITE COMMON WITH THE FRONTIER AND TITAN PICK-UPS. *JS

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
AFTER REFUELING THE VEHICLE, I NOTICED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WAS STILL INDICATING THAT IT HAD ONLY 1/4 TANK OF FUEL. I DROVE ABOUT 2 MILES AND THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER ARRIVING AT HOME I SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE, CHECKED THE FUEL CAP FOR TIGHTNESS, AND RESTARTED. THE FUEL GAUGE DROPPED TO EMPTY, THE LOW FUEL LIGHT CAME ON, AND THE SES LIGHT REMAINED ON. LATER THAT DAY I DROVE ABOUT 35 MILES UNDER THE AFOREMENTIONED CONDITIONS. UPON STOPPING AND RESTARTING THE VEHICLE, THE FUEL GAUGE WENT TO FULL, BUT THE SES LIGHT REMAINED ON. THAT IS THE SITUATION AS IT STANDS NOW.I HAVE NOT CONTACTED NISSAN DIRECTLY YET, BUT I HAVE RESEARCHED THE SITUATION, AND FOUND NUMEROUS REPORTS ONLINE OF THE SAME PROBLEM, AND OF NISSAN'S UNWILLINGNESS TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE AT NO CHARGE TO THE CONSUMER.(IT IS APPARENTLY A DEFECTIVE FUEL SENDING UNIT.) MY REASON FOR REPORTING THIS IS TWOFOLD. 1) TO MAKE EVERYONE AWARE OF THE ISSUE, AND 2) TO EXPRESS MY CONCERNS THAT A MALFUNCTIONING FUEL GAUGE COULD CAUSE A CRASH IF THE DRIVER RAN OUT OF FUEL WHILE IN MOTION, AND HAD TO MAKE AN EMERGENCY STOP. *TR

POWER TRAIN
TRANSMISSION FAILED WHILE DRIVING IN VERY BUSY TRAFFIC. MAXIMUM 20 MPH, WHILE EVERYBODY ELSE WAS DRIVING 55+ MPH. TRANSMISSION FAILED WITHOUT WARNING LEAVING MY SON AND I SCARED TO DEATH- IF I HAD BEEN MERGING INTO INTERSTATE TRAFFIC WE WOULD HAVE BEEN RUN OVER, MAYBE EVEN KILLED. NISSAN REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE ISSUE WITH THE RADIATOR/TRANSMISSION FLUID COOLING SYSTEM. I HOPE NOBODY DIES AS A RESULT OF THE DEFECT OR THE SITUATION IT CAN PUT AN UNKNOWING DRIVER IN. *JS

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW. AUTO ZONE CHECKED IT OUT AND STATED IT WAS A FUEL SENDING UNIT FAILURE. I DID NOTICED THE PASS WEEK IT WAS HAVING TROUBLE READING HOW MUCH GAS I HAD LEFT (DTE) I RESEARCHED AND FOUND IT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE FOR OUR VEHICLES. CONTACT UNITED NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND TOLD ME I WAS PASSED THE 72,000 MILE SO IT DOESN'T COVER THE RECALL? I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THEY WOULD PREDICT WHEN IT WOULD FAIL? I DID NOT RECEIVE A NOTICE OF THIS RECALL OR I WOULD HAVE HAD IT DONE WEATHER I DID HAVE THE PROBLEM OR NOT. ITS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR OUR VEHICLES SO WHY PUT A MARK ON WHEN IT IS COVERED? ITS NOT FAIR FOR THOSE EXPERIENCE THE PROBLEM AFTER. CONTACT NISSAN CONSUMER USA AND STATED THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE " NISSAN FRONTIER" WHICH MAKES NO SENSE TO ME. SO NO HELP THERE... ILL NEVER BUY A NISSAN EVER AGAIN VERY POOR ON ASSISTING THEIR CUSTOMERS. WE NEED A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT ON THESE GUYS ITS A COMMON PROBLEM FIX IT!!! *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER HAS APPROXIMATELY 52,000 MILES. UPON ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE IT WOULD NOT START AND I NOTICED THAT ALL THE GAUGES ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WERE ALL SHAKING. AFTER JUMP STARTING THE VEHICLE IT STARTED HOWEVER I NOTICED THE TRIP MILEAGE WAS RESET TO "000.0" AND THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT WAS ON. AFTER SHUTTING THE ENGINE AND ATTEMPTING TO RESTART THE VEHICLE IT WOULD NOT RESTART. WHEN I ATTEMPT TO START I HEAR A CLICK CLICK SOUND AND ALL GAUGES WOULD SHAKE. I CHARGED THE BATTERY AND THE PROBLEM SUBSIDED FOR A FEW WEEKS HOWEVER THE SAME PROBLEM LISTED ABOVE BEGAN TO RE-OCCUR. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I WAS DRIVING HOME ON THE EXPRESSWAY HWY 75 SOUTH DOWNTOWN ATLANTA GA AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY TRUCK JUST STOPPED RUNNING. I MANAGE TO COST TO THE SIDE OF THE EXPRESSWAY. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO RESTART THE TRUCK I CALLED FOR HELP. HAD THE TRUCK TOWN TO A LOCAL SHOP ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT IT RAN OUT OF GAS. THE CULPRIT A FAULTY FUEL GAUGE A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE 2007 FRONTIER MODELS. I CONTACTED NISSAN TO HAVE IT REPLACE BUT I WAS TOLD THAT SINCE I WAS OVER 72000 MILES THAT I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE IT THE COST TO ME. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER NISSAN AS LONG AS I LIVE I ALMOST GOT RAN OVER TRYING TO GET THE TRUCK TO THE SIDE OF THE ROADWAY. MY FUEL GAUGE WAS READING 1/2 OF TANK OF GAS. THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL. I KNOW THAT IT WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED ONE UNTIL SOMEONE IS KILLED AS A RESULT OF THIS ISSUE AND THIS IS VERY SAD ESPECIALLY SINCE NISSAN HAS KNOWN ABOUT THE ISSUE SINCE DAY ONE. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
MY 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER WITH 4.0 V-6 ENGINE HAS 43,600 MILES, AND IT MAKING A KNOCKING / BANGING NOISE, I CONTACTED NISSAN NORTH AMERICA TO FILE A COMPLAINT BECAUSE THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 43,600 AND HAD ALL ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AS SCHEDULED. THEY SENT ME A REPLY BACK STATING "A REVIEW OF OUR RECORDS INDICATES THAT THE ABOVE-REFERENCED VEHICLE IS NOT CURRENTLY INVOLVED IN ANY RECALLS OR SERVICE CAMPAIGNS. IN ORDER TO LOOK INTO POSSIBLE ASSISTANCE, A RECENT DIAGNOSIS BY A AUTHORIZED NISSAN DEALERSHIP IS REQUIRED. SO I CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT DIAGNOSED. AND DROPPED OFF MY FRONTIER AT MY LOCAL DEALER ON MONDAY EVENING (1/30/12). TUESDAY AFTERNOON (1/31/12) THE SERVICE MANAGER CALLED ME AND SAID THAT THE KNOCKING IS FROM A LOWER PISTON ROD, THE TIMING CHAIN AND COMPONENTS ARE WORN OUT, THERE ARE METAL SHAVINGS IN THE TOP OF THE ENGINE, AND IT IS ALSO BLOWING OIL INTO THE AIR INTAKE. BASICALLY,THE ENGINE IS COMPLETELY SHOT!. THE COST TO REPLACE THE ENGINE IS $6,000 NOT INCLUDING LABOR. HE THEN WENT ON TO TELL ME,THAT HE CALLED NISSAN NORTH AMERICA AND INFORMED THEM OF WHAT HE FOUND SO FAR,AND SAID THAT ACCORDING TO COMPANY POLICY,HE NEEDS THE VEHICLE "A FEW MORE DAYS" TO FURTHER INVESTIGATE IF THERE IS IN FACT A DEFECT, BECAUSE MORE INFORMATION IS NECESSARY TO DETERMINE IF IT IS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. IT IS OBVIOUSLY VERY UPSETTING THAT THIS VEHICLE ONLY HAS 43,600 MILES AND THE ENGINE IS SHOT,NOT TO MENTION,NOW I AM WITHOUT A VEHICLE. SINCE THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS AND PROBLEMS WITH THIS 4.0 V6 ENGINE, THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL TO REPLACE/REPAIR THE DEFECTIVE PARTS, OR ATLEAST BE COVERED UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY AT NO COST TO ME. IT IS MY OPINION, NOT ONLY IS THIS A "MECHANICAL DEFECT" IT IS ALSO A "SAFETY ISSUE", DUE TO THE FACT, WHILE DRIVING ON THE HWY, THE ENGINE CAN FAIL, CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. *KB

POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE RADIATOR IN THE VEHICLE RUPTURED, ALLOWING COOLANT INTO TRANSMISSION. THIS LED TO LOSS OF POWER, HARD SHIFTING, AND SLIPPAGE WHILE ACCELERATING. CONTACTED NISSAN, THEY INFORMED ME WARRANTY HAD BEEN EXTENDED BUT I WAS 1,600 MILES OVER THEIR ARBITRARILY EXTENDED LIMIT. THEY SUGGESTED I CONTACT THE DEALER FOR ASSISTANCE. THE DELAER REPEATED THAT IT WAS OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY PERIOD, AND ESTIMATED REPAIR COSTS AT $7000. I TOOK TRUCK TO LOCAL SHOP, WHO QUOTED $5500, AND NOW FIND OUT THAT THE TRANSMISSION PARTS ARE ON BACKORDER AND I WILL BE WITHOUT MY WORK VEHICLE FOR ABOUT 1 MONTH. NISSAN IS CLEARLY AWARE OF THIS DRIVELINE FAILURE ISSUE, BUT THEY ARE ATTEMPTING TO PUSH OFF THE COST OF THEIR FAULTY PARTS ONTO THE CONSUMER, RATHER THAN REMEDY WHAT IS A COSTLY AND POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS DEFECT.

THE TRANSMISSION COOLER LOCATED IN THE RADIATOR FAILED AND NOW RADIATOR HAS TRANSMISSION FLUID IN IT AND THE TRANSMISSION HAS WATER IN IT. BOTH ARE RUINED AND DEALER SAYS IT IS $9000. APPARENTLY THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT ONLY COVERED UP TO 80000 MILES AND NISSAN NEEDS TO FIX THIS. IF IT WAS A KNOWN ISSUE, IT COULD HAVE BEEN FIXED FOR A FEW HUNDRED BUCKS. THANK YOU

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF A 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER WITH 114,000 MILES. I TOOK MY CAR INTO THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE DUE TO TRANSMISSION ISSUES. THEIR ASSESSMENT ASTOUNDED ME. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO A KNOWN MANUFACTURE DEFECT IN THE RADIATOR CAUSING ANTIFREEZE TO BE SPILLED INTO THE TRANSMISSION. THE QUOTED REPAIR WAS OVER $6000.00. THIS IS MY ONLY VEHICLE AND I'M STILL MAKING LOAN PAYMENTS ON IT. I'VE TREATED THIS VEHICLE WITH KID GLOVES AND FOLLOWED THE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE RELIGIOUSLY. THIS MECHANICAL ISSUE IS DUE TO SOMETHING THAT WAS ORIGINALLY SOLD TO ME DEFECTIVE AND NISSAN OF NORTH AMERICA IS UNWILLING TO COVER THE REPAIRS. THIS IS A WIDESPREAD ISSUE AND HAS AFFECTED MANY NISSAN OWNERS. THERE ARE EVEN CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS AGAINST NISSAN TO GET REPARATIONS FOR REPAIR BILLS ALREADY PAID. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
AFTER FILLING WITH FUEL ON 12/2/2011, THE FUEL GAUGE WAS HUNG AT ABOUT 1/4 TANK. I DROVE APPROXIMATELY 75 MILES BEFORE THE FUEL GAUGE WAS REGISTERING NEAR FULL. ON 12/8/2011, I FILLED THE TANK WITH FUEL, AND UPON STARTING THE ENGINE THE FUEL GAUGE READ "EMPTY" AND THE FUEL LIGHT WAS ON. I DROVE APPROXIMATELY 85 MILES, BUT THE FUEL GAUGE REMAINED ON EMPTY WITH THE FUEL LIGHT ON. ON 12/9/2011, I CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS CONCERNING THE RECALL ON THIS MODEL OF VEHICLE AND I WAS TOLD THAT MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. HOWEVER, NISSAN DID OPEN A FILE NUMBER (7327001) AND IT IS BEING FORWARDED TO A REGIONAL SPECIALIST FOR REVIEW, BUT AM TOLD IT IS UNLIKELY THAT THE FUEL SENDING UNIT WILL BE COVERED. THERE IS APPARENTLY A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL SENDING UNIT, AS NISSAN HAD EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THIS COMPONENT TO 72,000 MILES, BUT AM TOLD THAT UNFORTUNATELY I HAVE EXCEEDED THE WARRANTY PERIOD. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT I WOULD HAVE TO TAKE MY VEHICLE TO A NISSAN DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS, AT MY EXPENSE, AND NO CERTAINTY IF NISSAN WILL STAND GOOD FOR THE DEFECTIVE PART. SO THE DEALER CAN CHARGE ME APPROXIMATELY $120.00 TO ME WHAT I ALREADY KNOW? I WOULD CONSIDER THIS A HIGHWAY SAFETY ISSUE; NOT KNOWING IF YOU ARE GETTING AN ACCURATE FUEL QUANTITY READING, AND THE POSSIBILITY OF BEING STRANDED. *TR

2007 NISSAN FRONTIER AT 54K MILE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WITH THE ERROR CODE P0463 (FUEL SENDING UNITS FAILURE). FOUND OUT THAT THIS PROBLEM IS ALSO HAPPENED TO THE 06 AND 08 NISSAN FRONTIER THAT WAS ON THE SAFETY RECALLED LIST. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT LIGHT UP ON (P0463) AND GAS GAUGE INDICATOR WILL DROP TO EMPTY FUEL EVEN STILL AT 1/4 FULL, DUE TO THE DEFECTIVE SENDING UNITS NISSAN MANUFACTURED. I AM HOPING THAT NHTSA WILL INCLUDES THE 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER AS A SAFETY RECALL FIX LIST. THANK YOU. *KB

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT SPEED, 11:30 PM TRUCK STALLED OUT, ATTEMPTED NEUTRAL RESTART WHILE MANEUVERING TO THE RIGHT WAS A VERY HAZARDOUS SITUATION. TRUCK FUEL GAUGE WAS READING 1/4 TANK. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS NOW ON SO I DID NOT CONSIDER IT HAD RUN OUT OF FUEL. I HAD IT TOWED TO MECHANIC, CODE READ P0463 WHICH IS THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR ON THE FUEL PUMP LOCATED IN THE FUEL TANK. MECHANIC WANTS $700 TO REPAIR, THE 2006 AND 2008 VERSIONS OF THE VEHICLE HAVE BEEN RECALLED, BUT NOT THE 2007, SEEMS THAT NISSAN HAS USED THESE DEFECTIVE PARTS IN ALL 3 AND PROBABLY MORE MODEL YEARS. I WAS PLACED IN A SITUATION THAT WAS EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS TO ME, MY PASSENGERS, AND THOSE MOTORISTS ON THE ROAD AROUND ME. SINCE THIS EVENT I HAVE READ WEBSITE AFTER WEBSITE DESCRIBING THIS PRODUCT DEFECT, IT IS THE SAME IN EVERY CASE IT IS CLEAR THAT NISSAN HAS PLACED INFERIOR PARTS IN THIS TRUCK AND THEY ARE FAILING PUTTING THEIR CUSTOMERS AND THOSE AROUND US IN HARMS WAY. DO WE NEED TO WAIT FOR FATALITIES TO RECOGNIZE THIS IS A MANUFACTURES DEFECT. NISSAN NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE 2007 AND ANY OTHER MODEL YEARS THAT HAVE THIS PART IN THEM. *TR

FUEL GAUGE FAILED. SLIGHT SMELL OF FUEL IN CABIN. DEALER STATED THAT THEY WOULD REPLACE THE FUEL SENDING UNIT UNDER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. DEALER STATED THAT WHILE TROUBLESHOOTING THE FUEL SENDING UNIT THEY DISCOVERED THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL LINES LEADING TO THE FUEL TANK. TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THERE APPEARED TO BE DAMAGE TO THE FUEL LINES CAUSED BY AN UNKNOWN ANIMAL CHEWING THROUGH THE FUEL LINE, REQUIRING THE REPLACEMENT OF THE ENTIRE FUEL TANK. THIS SOUNDED VERY IMPROBABLE AND I BELIEVE IT HAS TO BE A RESULT OF THE POOR QUALITY OF THE PLASTIC FUEL TANKS USED IN THIS VEHICLE. *TR

I PULLED INTO THE GAS STATION AND FILLED UP LIKE I NORMALLY DO. WHEN I STARTED MY ENGINE, MY GAS GAUGE DID NOT CLIMB PAST THE 1/4 MARK. I TURNED MY TRUCK ON AND OFF 2 MORE TIMES TO SEE IF THIS MIGHT FIX THE PROBLEM, IT DID NOT. AS I DROVE HOME, THE GAUGE CLIMBED EVER SO SLOWLY BEFORE STOPPING AT 1/2 TANK. THIS IS WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I GOT HOME AND GOOGLED THE PROBLEM AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A FAIRLY COMMON PROBLEM. WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND IS WHY THE 06 AND 08 MODELS ARE RECALLED BUT NOT THE 07. I REFUSE TO TAKE IT TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP BECAUSE I HAVE ALWAYS HAD LESS THEN STELLAR SERVICE AND JUST REFUSE TO DEAL WITH THEM AND BE FORCED TO OVERPAY.
