COOLANT AND TRANSMISSION LINES CROSS CONTAMINATED I FOUND OUT WHEN MY CAR JUST STOPPED TURNING ON SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID I NEED TO CHANGE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION FOR CLOSE TO 6000 DOLLARS BECAUSE THE FLUIDS CROSS CONTAMINATED DUE TO A FAILURE IN THE RADIATOR. MY VEHICLE HAS ONLY 60800 MILES BUT IS OUT OF WARRANTY DUE TO AGE AND THIS ISN'T RIGHT

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
JUST FINISHED READING THROUGH 23 PAGES OF COMPLAINTS GOING BACK TO 2008 REGARDING FAILURE OF THE FUEL LEVEL SENDER UNIT--PRIMARILY ON 2007 NISSAN FRONTIERS. MINE FAILED AT APPROXIMATELY 69,000 MILES IN FEBRUARY 2020, WITH THE SAME SYMPTOMS THAT NUMEROUS OTHER OWNERS EXPERIENCED: UPON FILLING THE TANK, THE GAUGE WOULD DROP TO ZERO, THE LOW FUEL LIGHT WOULD ILLUMINATE AS WOULD THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT--MY CODE READER DISPLAYED A 463 CODE, FUEL LEVEL SENSOR FAILURE. THE GAUGE WOULD GRADUALLY GO TO FULL, AND OPERATE NORMALLY UNTIL IT READ JUST UNDER HALF FULL, WHEN IT WOULD AGAIN DROP TO ZERO. WHILE THE FAILURE FELL WITHIN THE 72000 MILE EXTENDED WARRANTY, THE YEAR DIDN'T, SO NISSAN REFUSED TO MAKE THE REPAIRS. I HAVE TO JOIN THE CHORUS OF 2007 FRONTIER OWNERS WONDERING WHY IDENTICAL 2006 AND 2008 MODELS--WITH EXACTLY THE SAME SENDER--WERE SUBJECT TO A SAFETY RECALL, BUT NOT THE 2007S. IT'S AN OBVIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, OR THE FUEL GAUGE SENDER'S PERFORMANCE WOULDN'T BE INCLUDED AS AN ERROR CODE IN THE OBD II SYSTEM. HOW ABOUT WORKING THE PROBLEM, NTSHA? IT'S NOT TOO LATE!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HIS SON WAS DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED ABNORMALLY WITH THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE DRIVER PULLED OVER AND CALLED THE CONTACT FOR ASSISTANCE. THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS LATER TAKEN TO PETRO NISSAN (6248 US-98, HATTIESBURG, MS 39402) WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE HOWEVER, OFFERED NO ADDITIONAL ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 114,000.

ENGINE
I HAD TO HAVE THE TIMING CHAIN REPLACED ON MY VEHICLE AT A COST OF $1550. NISSAN PUT PLASTIC GUIDES FOR THE TIME CHAIN KNOWING THEY WOULD WEAR DOWN CAUSING THE CONSUMER AN ADDITIONAL COST TO REPLACE THIS WAY EARLIER THAN MOST VEHICLES. AFTER THE REPAIR WORK THE NISSAN MECHANIC SHOWED ME THE PLASTIC GUIDES AND THERE WAS ALMOST NOTHING LEFT OF IT. VERY SCARY TO THINK WHAT WOULD OF HAPPENED IF I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE WHEN THE PLASTIC GUIDE WORE OUT. THIS COULD OF CAUSE SERIOUS HARM TO SOMEONE IF IT HAD COMPLETELY WARN DOWN WHILE DRIVING. NISSAN KNEW THIS AND HAS DONE NOTHING TO FIX THE PROBLEM AS ALL OWNERS OF THEIR VEHICLES ARE FORCES TO PAY THE DELIBERATE COST TO HAVE THE VERY EXPENSIVE OUT OF POCKET REPLACEMENT WORK DONE.

MY NAME IS MRS.[XXX]. ON 5.29.2019, MY VEHICLE'S TRANSMISSION FAILED AS A RESULT OF A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO AAMCO AND HAD IT REPAIRED AT A COST OF $5,258.45 . WHILE MY VEHICLE WAS BEING REPAIRED I DISCOVERED THERE ARE NUMEROUS TAX PAYING CONSUMERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME MECHANICAL FAILURE. I, ALSO, DISCOVERED DESPITE KNOWING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, NISSAN HAS REFUSED AND/OR FAILED TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES OR NOTIFY THE OWNERS ABOUT THESE POTENTIAL DANGERS. HAD THE CORPORATION NOTIFIED THE OWNERS THE MAJOR TRANSMISSION. FAILURE COULD HAVE BEEN AVERTED WITH A SIMPLE PROCEDURE AT A COST OF $700- $1,000 . INSTEAD THE COMPANY KEPT SILENT ABOUT THE ISSUES. AS A RESULT AMERICAN CONSUMERS HAVE BEEN FOOTING THE BILL FOR NISSAN'S DEFECT, TO THE TOON OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. I CONTACTED NISSAN'S CEO SEEKNG REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE $5,258.45 OUT OF POCKET EXPENSES IT TOOK TO FIX NISSAN'S MANUFACTURING DEFECT. I WAS REFERRED TO THE CONSUMER AFFAIRS DEPARTMENT BY CEO HIROTO SARKAWA. CONSUMER AGENT [XXX] ID # [XXX] INITIALLY DENIED MY REQUEST VERBALLY ALLEGING THAT BECAUSE I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO AN OUTSIDE MECHANIC I AM NOT ELIGIBLE FOR REREIMBURSEMENT. HOWEVER IN WRITING SHE CLAIMED NISSAN WAS UNABLE TO OFFER FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE WITH THE REPAIR OF THE TRANSMISSION DUE TO THE VEHICLE BEING OUTSIDE OF YOUR NEW VEHICLE LIMITED WARRANTY INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

AT 132,000 MILES MY TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR FAILED AT THE SAME TIME. I HAVE COME TO UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT IN NISSANS. I DID NOT KNOW THIS WAS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH NISSANS. THE COST TO REPAIR IS GOING TO BE MORE THAN $5000. THIS IS TERRIBLE.
