FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I HAVE DOCUMENTED EVERYTHING. PICTURES, RECEIPTS, WHO I TALKED TO, DATES. EVERYTHING IN A LONG OUTLINE THAT I WILL ATTACH. PLEASE READ IT. THE ISSUE IS THAT I PURCHASED THIS TRUCK 12-28-2016 AND HAVE YET TO GET THE ADVERTISED FUEL CAPACITY OF 21.1 GALLONS. MY TRUCK GETS ABOUT CONSISTENTLY 15 GALLONS TO FILL UP AND NO RESERVE TANK. NISSAN IS NOT DISPUTING THAT THERE IS A DEFECT AND MY VEHICLE IS NOT THE ONLY ONE. THERE IS ANOTHER TRUCK AT MY DEALERSHIP RIGHT NOW WITH THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. AND THE DEALERSHIP HAS ADMITTED THAT THERE ARE OTHERS. PLUS I'VE FOUND MORE ONLINE IN FORUMS. THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX IT YET.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
IN FEBRUARY, 2017, THE RADIATOR ON MY NISSAN FRONTIER FAILED. DUE TO A DESIGN FLAW, COOLANT GOT INTO THE TRANSMISSION WHICH RUINED IT. THE RADIATOR HAD TO BE REPLACED AND THE TRANSMISSION REBUILT AT CONSIDERABLE EXPENSE (APPROXIMATELY $6K). THE RADIATOR FAILURE OCCURRED ON THE ROAD AND I WAS ABLE TO LIMP TO A SERVICE STATION. FORTUNATELY, THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE DID NOT OCCUR ON THE ROAD BUT COULD HAVE CAUSING A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION.

VERY SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD WHEN USING "NISSAN CONNECT" HANDS-FREE SYSTEM WITH ALL CELL PHONES. "NISSAN CONNECT" DOES NOT DIFFERENTIATE THE DIFFERENCE WHEN CALLING A PERSON WITH MULTIPLE PHONE NUMBERS. INSTEAD OF ASKING "WOULD YOU LIKE TO CALL ____ ON CELL OR AT HOME"?, IT ASKS YOU WHICH PHONE NUMBER IS CORRECT? THIS NOW FORCES YOU TO GRAB YOUR PHONE, SEARCH FOR THE CONTACT, AND VERIFY WHICH PHONE NUMBER IS CORRECT. THE ENTIRE TIME, YOU ARE NOW DISTRACTED FROM DRIVING AND DEFEATS THE PURPOSE OF BEING HANDS FREE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD WITH ALL NISSAN VEHICLES THAT HAVE NISSAN CONNECT.
