MY CLUTCH KEEPS WEARING OUT AFTER APPROXIMATELY 25,000 MILES. I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK USED WITH 60,000 MILES AND REPLACED THE CLUTCH AT 81,893 MILES, 107,179 MILES AND IT IS NOW SLIPPING AGAIN AT 131,521 MILES. I HAVE OWNED AND DRIVEN PRIMARILY MANUAL TRANSMISSION VEHICLES SINCE 1975 AND NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. I HAVE DRIVEN NEARL ONE MILLION MILES IN VEHICLES WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS AND REPLACED ONLY ONE CLUTCH. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECT IN THE CLUTCH THAT NISSAN USES. THE FIRST TIME WAS 02/27/15 THE SECOND TIME WAS 5/24/16 AND MOST RECENTLY 12/20/17

MY TRUCK SUDDENLY HAD ISSUES SHIFTING. I WENT ONLINE AND SAW THERE WAS A LAWSUIT AND COMMON ISSUES WITH THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION. I WAS NOT NOTIFIED ABOUT THE LAWSUIT OR THE ISSUE FROM NISSAN. I ALSO CALLED A MECHANIC AND THEY SAID IT IS A COMMON ISSUES AND IT WOULD BE ABOUT $6,000 TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AS NISSAN SHOULD HAVE NOTIFIED CUSTOMERS SO THAT WE COULD HAVE HAD IT FIXED BEFORE IT TURNED INTO A MAJOR ISSUE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE FUEL SENSOR IS NOT RELAYING ACCURATE FUEL LEVELS. WHEN VEHICLE IS NEAR EMPTY TANK THE TANK FUEL GAUGE WILL OFTEN STILL READ 1/4 TANK LEVEL. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINS ON WHICH CODES ALERTED ON DIAGNOSTICS RELAY BACK TO THE SENSOR ISSUE. THE PROBLEMS IS NOW WORSENING WHERE EVEN AT FULL TANK THE GAUGE WILL SOMETIMES INDICATE EMPTY WITH FUEL ALERT LIGHT ON AND TANK JUST TOPPED OFF. THE IMPROPER FUEL INDICATION HAS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO RUN OUT OF FUEL SEVERAL MILES FROM A GAS STATION WHILE STILL SHOWING 1/4 TANK LEVEL. THIS CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS AS BEING STRANDED IN NC IN PEAK OF SUMMER TEMPS OUTSIDE CAN REACH OVER 100 DEGREES. FURTHERMORE STALLING OUT FOR LACK OF FUEL IN BUSY CITY TRAFFIC OR SHARP TURN ON HIGHWAY AT 60-70 MHP CAN LEAD TO A VERY DANGEROUS ACCIDENT.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER. WHILE DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE FUEL GAUGE INDICATED THAT THERE WAS FUEL IN THE FUEL TANK, BUT IN REALITY, THERE WAS NO FUEL IN THE VEHICLE. WHILE IN TRAFFIC ON A HILL, THE VEHICLE STALLED DUE TO LACK OF FUEL; HOWEVER, THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED A QUARTER TANK OF FUEL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THERE WERE NO OPEN RECALLS FOR THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,000.

POWER TRAIN
THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO DRIVE FROM NEUTRAL. AFTER A FEW MINUTES OF HOLDING IT IN DRIVE, I MANAGED TO GET IT TO MOVE FORWARD. THEN, I COULD NOT GET IT OUT OF DRIVE. IT ONLY MOVED FORWARD. THE PROBLEM FIX IS DESCRIBED IN THIS YOUTUBE VIDEO PERFECTLY. HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=XF-QFAASMWO IT WAS EXTREMELY SCARY TO LEAVE MY VEHICLE RUNNING FOR FEAR I COULD NOT MOVE IT AGAIN AND THE WHAT IF THIS PART MALFUNCTIONED IN TRAFFIC WHILE DOWN SHIFTING INTO 3 2 OR 1. WHICH IS WHAT CAUSED MINE TO STICK BEHIND DRIVE. IT WAS THE LOOSE SCREW THAT ALLOWED THE PART TO BIND.

RADIATOR BROKE AND MIXED FLUIDS- BOTH TRANI AND RADIATOR. TRANI BROKE AS A RESULT OF IT. I SPENT 5K TO FIX. I HAD A WARRANTY I PURCHASED FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND IT WOULD HONOR THE REPAIR BECAUSE IT WAS CAUSED BY THE RADIATOR.
