FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FUEL LEVEL SENSOR MALFUNCTION, TRUCK SHUT OFF WHILE SHOWING IT WAS HALF FULL OF GAS. I WAS IN THE PROCESS OF MOVING SO I HAD A TRUCK LOAD OF FURNITURE AND ALSO PULLING MY BOAT. I LUCKILY CARRY A HEAVY DUTY CHAIN WITH ME AND WAS ABLE TO GET SOMEONE TO TOW ME TO A GAS STATION. I THEN READ THAT NISSAN HAD RECALLED 2005-2008 MODELS BUT WHEN I CALLED MY PARTICULAR TRUCK WASN'T ONE OF THEM. IT DOESN'T REALLY MAKE SENSE TO ME IF MY TRUCK IS SHOWING THE SAME PROBLEMS WHY IT ISN'T RECALLED. THIS DIDN'T CAUSE THAT BIG OF AN ISSUE FOR ME BUT I FEEL LIKE THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND COULD PUT SOMEONE IN DANGER OF HAVING AN ACCIDENT. THE SEAL AROUND WHERE THE SENSOR CONNECTS DOESN'T HOLD SO GAS GETS IN AND CORRODES THE CONNECTING PINS CAUSING IT TO MALFUNCTION. THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME $400 TO FIX IT SO I BOUGHT THE PART ONLINE FOR $85 AND FIXED IT MYSELF. I DON'T FEEL LIKE THIS IS RIGHT AND NISSAN NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ENGINE
I WAS DRIVING AND NOTICED THAT WHEN I SLOWED DOWN OR STOPPED, THEN TRIED TO GO AGAIN THE CAR HESITATED, THEN TOOK OFF FAST ALL AT ONCE. AT TIMES EVEN WHEN THE GAS PEDAL WAS FLOORED THE CAR WOULDN'T GO, THEN WOULD TAKE OFF. I TRIED CHANGING GAS, AN ADDITIVE, NOTHING HELPED. I HAD A NEIGHBOR DRIVE THE CAR AND HE SAID GET IT IN BEFORE YOU KILL SOMEONE. I CALLED A COUPLE OF SHOPS, BUT EVENTUALLY WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND TOLD THEM WHAT WAS HAPPENING. THEY DIAGNOSED A MAJOR ENGINE PROBLEM THAT THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT THAT WAS RULED AGAINST NISSAN. THEY SAID I NEEDED A 5000 DOLLAR REPAIR, BUT THEY WOULD ONLY CHARGE ME 2500 BECAUSE OF THE LAWSUIT. IT SEEMS THEY ONLY COVER FULL PRICE UP TO 80000 MILES. I WAS 600 MILES PAST THERE REPAIR LINE. I EXPLAINED THAT I HAD TRIED MANY THINGS, AND THE PROBLEM WAS GOING ON LONG BEFORE THE 80000 MILE MARK. I OFFERED PROOF BY CALLING THE SHOPS AND TRYING TO PUT THEM ON THE PHONE WITH NISSAN, THEY WOULD NOT TAKE THE PHONE. I CALLED THE NEIGHBOR TO TALK TO THEM AS PROOF THAT HE DROVE THE TRUCK MORE THAN A MONTH EARLIER AND THE PROBLEMS WERE SEVERE. THEY WOULD NOT TAKE THE PHONE. THEY EVENTUALLY GAVE ME THE NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS NUMBER, AND CONSUMER AFFAIRS GAVE ME A CASE NUMBER AND HAVE NOT RETURNED A CALL SINCE.WHENEVER I CALL THEY SAY SOMEONE WILL RETURN YOUR CALL BY THE END OF THE DAY, OF COURSE NOBODY DOES. MEANWHILE, THE PROBLEM IS GETTING WORSE, AND I AM GETTING SCARED TO EVEN DRIVE THE TRUCK ANYMORE. THEN I CAME ACROSS YOU GUYS AND IT SEEMS THAT YOU ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, AND HAVE HAD OTHER PEOPLE LIKE ME. PLEASE HELP. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I HAVE BEEN HAVING THE FUEL GAUGE PROBLEMS WITH MY 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER THAT I NOW SEE SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT. IT HAS BEEN CLOSE TO A YEAR THAT I HAVE HAD THE ISSUE BUT I KNEW IT WAS THE FUEL LEVEL INDICATOR SENSOR CAUSING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME SO I DIDN'T GET IT FIXED. I WOULD FILL UP WITH GAS AND THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD STAY AT EMPTY (NO MATTER HOW MUCH FUEL WAS IN THE TANK WHEN I STARTED FUELING). THEN AFTER DRIVING UP TO 100 MILES THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD GO UP TO WHAT I ASSUME WAS AN ACCURATE READING. IT HAS BEEN ABOUT A MONTH NOW THE FUEL GAUGE HAS COMPLETELY QUIT WORKING. I WOULD FILL UP AT BETWEEN 250 MILES TO 300 MILES ON A TANK BECAUSE I KNEW I ALWAYS GOT OVER 300 MILES ON A TANK OF GAS. WELL, THIS MORNING ON MY WAY TO WORK I RAN OUT A GAS RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION. I AM VERY DISGUSTED TO SEE ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND NISSAN IS NOT WILLING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. ON TOP OF THAT, I THOUGHT A SMALLER PICKUP WITH A 6 CYLINDER ENGINE WOULD GET BETTER GAS MILEAGE THAN IS DOES. MY 2007 FRONTIER GETS LOUSY GAS MILEAGE. *TR

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ON 8/16/2014 AND I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE TO WORK AND TRANSMISSION WOULDN'T SHIFT OUT OF GEAR ALONG WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I SCANNED THE VEHICLE AND PULLED A CODE FOR THE TRANSMISSION OUTPUT SENSOR. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY SAID THEY FOUND COOLANT IN MY TRANSMISSION AND I WAS OUTSIDE OF THE PREVIOUS EXTENDED WARRANTY AND THEY'VE NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE. THEY TOLD ME I NEEDED A WHOLE NEW TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR. AND NISSAN WOULDN'T COVER ANY OF THE DAMAGES DUE TO IT BEING OUT OF THE LAST EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT WAS ADDED TO THE VEHICLE. NOW THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME $6,756 TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE I'VE OWED FOR LESS THAN A WEEK. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREET FUEL GAUGE READING OVER 1/4 TANK WENT TO MAKE A LANE CHANGE VEHICLE STARTED TO CUT OUT SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON THEN THE VEHICLE WENT COMPLETELY DEAD MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO STEER OR BRAKE OR PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD OUT OF TRAFFIC. HAD THE VEHICLE CHECKED AND WAS ADVISED AFTER HE READ THE CODE THAT THE FUEL SENSOR WAS FAULTY GIVING A FALSE READING ON THE AMOUNT OF FUEL REMAINING IN THE TANK AND THAT HE HAD HEARD OF A NISSAN RECALL ON THE FUEL SENSOR. AFTER I PUT MORE FUEL IN MY VEHICLE IT STARTED RIGHT UP BUT SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON. CONTACTED NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND WAS ADVISED THAT SOME 2007 NISSAN FRONTIERS AND OTHER MODEL OF THAT YEAR HAD SIMILAR ISSUES BUT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED FOR THAT PROBLEM. *TR

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
TRANSMISSION FAILED DUE TO RADIATOR LEAKAGE INTO TRANSMISSION FLUID. JUST OUT OF WARRANTY! NISSAN CLAIMS POWERTRAIN WARRANTY WILL NOT COVER SINCE IT IS A RADIATOR PROBLEM WHICH CAUSES THE FAILURE. ----- LEAKING COOLANT CAUSES TRANSMISSION FAILURE AN ALARMING NUMBER OF NISSAN XTERRA, PATHFINDER AND FRONTIER OWNERS ARE STEPPING FORWARD WITH STORIES ABOUT HOW CRACKED RADIATORS ARE CAUSING COOLANT TO LEAK INTO THE TRANSMISSION. ONCE MIXED WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID THIS LETHAL COMBINATION KILLS THE VALVES, SEALS AND TORQUE CONVERTER -- RENDERING YOUR ENTIRE TRANSMISSION USELESS. THIS ISSUE IS CURRENTLY CONTAINED TO THE 2005'2010 MODEL YEARS. SOME ARTICLES ONLINE CLAIM THAT BEING AWARE OF THE PROPER WARNING SIGNS MAY HELP PREVENT YOUR NISSAN FROM NEEDING A REBUILT TRANSMISSION. THESE WARNING SIGNS ARE: HEAVY VIBRATION WHILE SHIFTING HEAVY VIBRATION WHILE ACCELERATING ABRUPT STALLING SHUDDERING NOISES CAR DOESN'T WARM UP WHEN SITTING OWNERS WHO HAVE HAD THEIR RADIATOR CRACK ARE CLAIMING THAT EVEN IF YOU CATCH IT EARLY, YOUR TRANSMISSION IS STILL DOOMED TROUBLE DUE TO THIS ENGINEERING / MANUFACTURING DEFECT. YOU CAN READ THEIR STORIES OVER AT CARCOMPLAINTS.COM FOR THE THREE NISSAN MODELS THAT ARE SHOWING THE DEFECT: PATHFINDER: 2007, 2006, 2005 XTERRA: 2005, 2006, 2007 FRONTIER: 2005. 2006, 2007 PERHAPS EVEN MORE TROUBLING IS OWNERS WHO HAVE ALREADY HAD THEIR TRANSMISSIONS "REPAIRED" BY AN AUTHORIZED NISSAN DEALER ARE STILL REPORTING CATASTROPHIC TRANSMISSION FAILURE. THROUGH NO FAULT OF THEIR OWN, NISSAN OWNERS WHO ARE OUT OF WARRANTY ARE LEFT TO COVER THE HEFTY REPAIR BILL, WHICH CAN BE OVER $4,500 WHEN ALL IS SAID AND DONE. *TR
