POWER TRAIN
CAR STUTTERS WHEN I ACCELERATE WHIL GOING UPHILL BETWEEN 40 AND 60 MILES AN HOUR. DEALERSHIP MECHANIC REPORTED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FLUID HAD BEEN CONTAMINATED BY THE RADIATOR FAILING. THERE ARE 102,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP IS CHARGING $6,100 TO REPAIR A TRUCK THAT IS WORTH LESS THAN THAT. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT AS I AM 2,000 MILES PAST THE WARRANTY, THEY WILL NOT DISCOUNT THE PRICE OF REPAIR, EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A WELL DOCUMENTED ISSUE. NEITHER THE DEALER I BOUGHT THE TRUCK FROM OR THE DEALER PERFORMING MAINTENANCE FOR THE LAST THREE YEARS HAS EVER MENTIONED OR CHECKED FOR THE ISSUE.

ENGINE
WHEN THE THROTTLE PEDAL IS PRESSED THE ENGINE DOES NOT REACT IMMEDIATELY. VERY DIFFICULT TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC. VERY DANGEROUS PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC. YOU NEVER KNOW HOW LONG IT IS GOING TO TAKE FOR THE ENGINE TO RESPOND TO THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR (TPS) AND ACCELERATE. I HAVE BEEN TO THE SELLING DEALER 2 TIMES FOR THIS, THEY CANNOT "DUPLICATE" THE ISSUE.

SERVICE BRAKES, POWER TRAIN
AT AMBIENT TEMPERATURES LESS THAN 10 DEGREES, THE ABS LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT WILL ILLUMINATE UPON FIRST MOVEMENT. THIS DISABLES THE ABS SYSTEM AND THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM, IT WILL ALSO DISABLE THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM IF NOT ENGAGED BEFORE MOVEMENT. AMBIENT TEMP MUST RISE ABOVE 25 DEGREES TO REVERSE THE SYMPTOMS. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD FOR ANYONE THAT LIVES IN A COLD CLIMATE.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
WHILE DRIVING THE TRUCK WILL SHUT OFF JUST LIKE THE KEY WAS TURNED OFF. THIS HAPPENED ONE OR TWO TIMES A DAY OVER A TEN DAY PERIOD, I SWAPPED MY OLD KEY WITH MY WIFE'S KEY AND THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY. I TOOK IT TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY WANTED TO DO $7000 OF REPAIRS AND NOTHING ABOUT THE KEY AND IGNITION SWITCH PROBLEM. SO I HAVE BEEN USING MY WIFE'S KEY FOR THE PAST FIVE DAYS AND NO ISSUES. NISSAN CLAIMS THEY NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS LIKE THIS ALTHOUGH THE INTERNET SHOWS A RECALL IN 2010 FOR 2003-2006 FRONTIERS FOR A VERY SIMILAR PROBLEM.

ENGINE
WHILE DRIVING ON A COUNTY HIGHWAY, THE ENGINE CAUGHT FIRE FOR NO APPARENT REASON RESULTING IN THE TOTAL LOSS OF THE VEHICLE. ENGINE COMPARTMENT WAS COMPLETELY DESTROYED. ABOUT 2100 MILES ON ODOMETER, SPEED AT TIME OF FIRE WAS ABOUT 30 MPH. I HAD BEEN DRIVING ABOUT 5 MINUTES, JUST LONG ENOUGH FOR THE ENGINE TO WARM UP. I CHECKED THE OIL ABOUT 1 WEEK PRIOR TO THE FIRE AND READING WAS NORMAL. NO PROBLEMS STARTING THE VEHICLE AND IT WAS RUNNING NORMALLY UNTIL THE FLAMES ERUPTED FROM UNDER THE HOOD. NO INJURIES OR OTHER PROPERTY DAMAGE.
