THE GARAGE CHECKED IT REPLACED THE LUG NUTS WHICH HAD ALL LOOSENED SPONTANEOUSLY AND FALLEN OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING AT A WALKING PACE, TURNING TO THE LEFT WHEN THE WHEEL SEPARATED. *TR

MY SON HAD AN ACCIDENT, DRIVING AT 65 MPH AND HIT A PARKED CAR ON THE FREEWAY. HE HIT THE WINDSHIELD SO HARD WITH HIS HEAD THAT THE WINDSHIELD HAS A CUP SHAPED DENT EVEN WITH SEAT BELT ON AND DEPLOYMENT OF AIRBAGS. I CONTACTED NISSAN, AND WAS DISMISSED. I WAS TOLD BY [XXX], THE PERSON ASSIGNED TO THE CASE BY NISSAN, THAT SINCE INSURANCE HAD PAID. THERE WAS NOTHING ELSE TO BE DONE. I WILL ATTACH PHOTOS OF THE TRUCK. I FEEL THAT THE AIRBAG AND SIT BELT SHOULD HAVE KEPT DRIVER IN PLACE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
WHEN ENTERING HWY 17 (70 MPH SPEED LIMIT) I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR TO ENTER ONCOMING TRAFFIC. INSTEAD OF INCREASING SPEED THE TRUCK STALLED. I PULLED ONTO THE RIGHT SIDE EMERGENCY LANE IN ORDER TO PREVENT TRAFFIC FROM RUNNING OVER MY VEHICLE. I PLACED THE TRANSMISSION IN PARK AND IT SEEMED TO SMOOTH OUT . MOTOR WAS RUNNING WITH EXCESS RPM'S AND TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING. THIS WAS A NEAR ACCIDENT. I COULD HEAR CARS BEHIND PLACING ON BRAKES AND BLOWING HORN. WHEN RETURNING HOME WAS TOLD BY NISSAN DEALERSHIP RADIATOR COOLER AND TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO FAULTY LINES. NISSAN SHOULD HAVE RECALLED THIS PROBLEM.

NISSAN TIMING CHAIN NEEDS REPLACED, NISSAN HAS NOT PUBLISHED TSB'S ABOUT THE ISSUE. COSTS ARE 4000 BY NISSAN. BOUGHT TRUCK USED. IF NISSAN HAS NOT PUBLISHED ANY TSBS, WHY SHOULD A CONSUMER HAVE TO SHELL OUT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO FIX THE ISSUE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
OUR 07 NISSAN FRONTIER WAS BEING DRIVEN TO BE INSPECTED FOR REGISTRATION WHEN, AT A STOP LIGHT, IT JUST TURNED OFF AND WOULD NOT START. WE HAD IT TOWED TO A MECHANIC. HE HAD TO SEND IT TO THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP FOR THE COMPUTER TO BE REPLACED AND REPROGRAMMED. ACCORDING TO THIS MECHANIC, THE LEAK FROM THE RADIATOR HAS MIXED WITH TRANSMISSION FLUID IN THE TRANSMISSION CAUSING ALL THESE COMPONENTS TO FAIL AND NEED REPLACING. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!!

AIR BAGS
THE ISSUE WITH MY NISSAN FRONTIER IS THAT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT ILLUMINATES RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING (INDICATING THAT THERE IS NOT SOMEONE SITTING IN THE SEAT AND THE AIRBAG WOULD NOT GO OFF) WHILE THERE HAVE BEEN FULL-GROWN ADULTS SITTING PROPERLY IN THE SEAT. . I WAS SENT TO A DEALER, WHERE I WAS CHARGED FOR THEM TO LOOK INTO THIS AND I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOT ANYTHING THEY COULD DO BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE. I TRIED TO EXPLAIN IT RANDOMLY HAPPENS AND THAT IS DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME, HOWEVER I WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING ELSE FOR ME. I HAVE TRIED TO REACH YOUR COMPANY MULTIPLE TIMES AND HAVE BEEN IGNORED. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. I HAVE VIDEOS OF THIS ISSUE AND NO ONE WILL HELP ME. *TR

WHILE IN THE FREEWAY, SPEED SLOWED DOWN TO 25 MPH. GOT OUT OF THE FREEWAY AND OPENED HOOD. FOUND OUT RADIATOR COOLANT LOW AND SOME WHITE STUFF I COULD SEE. RIGHT THEN IT CAME TO MY MIND THAT I HAVE THE NISSAN FAMOUS RADIATOR COOLANT LEAKING INTO TRANSMISSION AND WOULD NOT THINK IT WOULD HAPPEN TO MY TRUCK AT 38000 MILES. TRANSMISSION HAD MILKY LIKE FLUID. WHY IS THERE NO SAFETY RECALL WHEN SO MANY CARS ARE AFFECTED THAT PUT A LOT OF PEOPLE ON DANGER. INSTEAD I GOT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY OF RADIATOR. THE DEALER COULD HAVE REPLACED THE RADIATOR 5 YEARS AGO. NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM FOR YEARS.
