THE REAR AXLES ON MY 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER BEGAN LEAKING GREASE AT SOME POINT. THE FLUID LEAKED ON THE REAR BRAKES, CAUSING POTENTIAL BRAKE PROBLEMS IF AND EVENTUAL FAILURE IF GONE UNNOTICED. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH, THERE IS A TSB FOR THE PROBLEM AS WELL AS SEVERAL OTHER MODELS AFFECTED, INCLUDING THE TITAN, AND XTERRA. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THE FUEL SENDING UNIT ON MY 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER WENT BAD AT 74,000 MILES. NISSAN HAS DECLINED TO REPAIR IT AS IT IS OUT OF THE WARRANTY PERIOD. HOWEVER THIS IS SUCH A COMMON AND WELL DOCUMENTED PROBLEM, THE 2007 FRONTIERS SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL THAT IS AVAILABLE FOR SOME OF THE '06 AND '08 FRONTIERS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THE RADIATOR WAS CRACKED CAUSING THE ANTI FREEZE TO SPILL INTO THE TRANSMISSION WHICH RUINED THE TRANSMISSION.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I TURNED ON THE CAR, AT WHICH POINT THE NEEDLE DID NOT REGISTER THE FULL TANK. AFTER DRIVING A COUPLE MILES, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I WENT DIRECTLY TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS A FUEL SENDING UNIT/SENSOR AND THAT IT WAS NO LONGER COVERED AFTER 30K MILES. AFTER RETURNING HOME AND DOING RESEARCH, I WENT ONLINE TO X.NISSANHELP.COM AFTER PERFORMING A SEARCH, I CAME ACROSS MANY OTHERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. APPARENTLY IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE FUEL SENDING UNIT. A SIMILAR PROBLEM WAS FOUND ON THE 2000-2004 XTERRA MODELS AND A RECALL WAS PERFORMED WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD STOP AFTER NOT GETTING ANY FUEL, POSING A GREAT DANGER. IT SEEMS THAT SOMETHING IN THE UNIT IS FAULTY AND WILL CORRODE OVER TIME. THERE IS A GENERAL CONSENSUS THAT EVERYONE WHO IS HAVING THE PROBLEM IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME THING AFTER HAVING THE VEHICLE FOR OVER 2 YRS AND WITH AROUND 39K-49K. IF THIS PROBLEM EXISTED IN PREVIOUS MODELS, AND IT WAS RECALLED, THE 2005-2007 XTERRAS, FRONTIERS, AND PATHFINDERS SHOULD GET THIS FIXED AT NO CHARGE TO THE CUSTOMER!! WHY WAIT FOR ACCIDENTS AND POSSIBLE DEATHS, ESPECIALLY SINCE THE PROBLEM LIES IN AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE VEHICLE. COST OF REPAIR RANGES FROM $300-600." *TR

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON WITH ERROR CODE P0463. THIS IS DUE TO A FAULTY FUEL LEVEL SENSOR. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH NISSAN AND THE PREVIOUS MODELS WITH THE SAME ISSUE WERE RECALLED. THIS FAILURE CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO BE OUT OF COMPLIANCE WITH TEXAS LAWS AND WILL NOT PASS ANNUAL INSPECTION WITHOUT REPAIR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN REFUELING THE VEHICLE, THE FUEL LEVEL INDICATOR WOULD DISPLAY THE TANK AS EMPTY. IN ADDITION, WHEN THE FUEL TANK WAS FULL, THE FUEL LEVEL INDICATOR WOULD ONLY DISPLAY ONE QUARTER A TANK OF FUEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN WAS WORKING ON DIAGNOSING THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 115,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I HAVE A 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER. I RAN OUT OF GAS DESPITE MY FUEL GAUGE SHOWING THAT I HAD A LITTLE LESS THEN 1/4 TANK OF GAS LEFT IN THE TANK. I SEE THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR 2006 AND 2008 VEHICLES BUT NOT THE 2007. HAVE THERE BEEN ANY OTHER COMPLAINTS FOR THIS PROBLEM FOR 2007? MY GAS GAUGE TAKES A LONG TIME TO GET BACK UP TO FULL AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON. I MAKE CERTAIN THAT THE GAS CAP IS ON TIGHT AFTER EACH FILL UP. I WAS TOLD THAT THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR MAY BE BAD. I HAVE NOT HAD THE PROBLEM FIXED YET SO THE PART WOULD BE AVAILABLE AFTER I HAVE THE PROBLEM FIXED. *TR

THE FUEL GAUGE MALFUNCTIONED IT WOULD INDICATE THAT IT WAS EMPTY EVENTHOUGH THE TANK WAS FULL. I TALKED TO SERVICE MANAGER, HE SAYS THAT NISSAN WOULD NOT COVER REPAIR BECAUSE IT WAS NOT A RECALL ITEM. NISSAN DID HAVE A RECALL ON THE SAME ITEM FOR THE 2006 AND 2008 MODELS. THEY COULD NOT EXPLAIN WHY THE 2007 MODELS WERE NOT INCLUDED. *TR

ON 01-13-2011 I WAS DRIVING MY 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER PICK UP ON PA SR 92S. BETWEEN NICHOLSON AND TUNKHANNOCK ABS AND SLIP WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. I CALLED MY NISSAN DEALER IMMEDIATELY, EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM AND DIFFICULTIES I HAD HANDLING THE VEHICLE ON THE SNOW COVERED ROAD. I WAS TOLD THAT EARLIEST APPOINTMENT I COULD GET WAS 01-20-2011. ON MY WAY BACK, WHEN I DROVE ON ANOTHER SNOWY ROAD I APPLIED 4X4 SYSTEM BUT IT FAILED TO ENGAGE. NOW THE ABS, SLIP AND 4X4 DID NOT WORK AND I HAD HARD TIMES TO MAKE IT SAFELY HOME. I CALLED THE DEALER AGAIN A WAS AGAIN TOLD THAT I COULD GET IT FIXED ON 01-20-2011. I DECIDED TO REPORT THIS PROBLEM AND I HOPE THAT YOUR INVESTIGATION OF MY COMPLAIN WILL MAKE DRIVING, ESPECIALLY WINTER DRIVING OF NISSAN VEHICLES SAFER. *TR

I HAVE RAN OUT OF GAS IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC ON A BUSY HIGHWAY ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT DUE TO FUEL GAUGE NOT READING FUEL LEVEL. I WAS LUCK ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THIS IS ON A NISSAN 2007 FRONTIER SE MODEL. *LN

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
FRONTIER HAS DEVELOPED A BUZZING/WHINING SOUND THAT IS A WELL DOCUMENTED AND COMMON TIMING CHAIN PROBLEM THIS IS NOT JUST MY VEHICLE, BUT WITH MOST OF NISSAN'S MODELS SINCE 2005, WHICH IS WHEN THEY REDESIGNED AND BEGAN USING THE 4.0L V6 ENGINE IN THESE VEHICLES. NISSAN RECOGNIZES THE PROBLEM IN TSB'S NTB 07-42A, NTB09-128, AND NTB07-042C, BUT REFUSES TO ISSUE A RECALL AND IF YOUR WARRANTY IS UP YOU ARE ON THE HOOK FOR THE REPAIR. ORDINARILY I WOULD UNDERSTAND THAT, AS ALL PARTS WEAR OUT, BUT IN THIS CASE, THE FAILURE IS COMMON AND PREVALENT IN MULTIPLE NISSAN MODELS FROM THE SAME TIME PERIOD, SUGGESTING AN ENGINEERING DESIGN DEFECT IN THE ENGINE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. FRANKLY, IF THIS WAS AN IMMEDIATE LIFE SAFETY ISSUE, A RECALL WOULD HAVE BEEN ISSUED IN LIGHT OF THE NUMEROUS FAILURES AND NUMBER OF MODELS INVOLVED WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
PURCHASED NEW 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER-V-6, LONG WHEEL-BASE TRUCK. EXPIERIENCED BRAKE PROBLEM AT 20K MILES, REPLACED BY DEALER, HAD LOW SPEED WHINE AND BRAKE PEDAL DROP TO FLOOR AND 35 TO 40 MPH JUDDER AND VIBRATION. WENT BACK TO DEALER, THEY CHECKED AND NOTICED THE DRIVE SHAFT WAS COMMING APART, THEY REPLACED WITH NEW ONE, IDICATED IT WAS DEFECTIVE FROM VENDOR. I HAVE HAD THIS TRUCK BACK INTO DEALER FOUR TIMES SINCE WITH THE SAME RE-OCCURING PROBLEMS. THEY CAN'T FIND THE SOURCE OR THE PROBLEM. ZONE MGR. FOR MIDWEST DROVE THE VEHICLE AND INDICATED THAT THEY CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM AND THEY WILL NOT REPLACE ANYTHING ELSE. I WAS TOLD TO TAKE IT TO THE BBB IF I WANTED A SOLUTION UNDER CURRENT LEMON LAWS. HE ALSO INDICATED IT WILL PROBABLY FALL APART DOWN THE ROAD-COMPLETE AND UTTER DIS-REGARD FOR MY SAFETY. THEY ARE IN COMPLETE DENIAL THAT THEY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. IS IT JUST NOW THAT TOYOTA HAD A RECALL FOR BROKEN/CRACKED YOKES ON TACOMA'S AND NISSAN IS EXEMPT? DON'T THEY ALL BUY PARTS FROM DANA CORP.? NISSAN HAS EXPERIENCED A LARGE SALES SURGE AND ARE EXPANDING JUST LIKE GM HAD IN THE 70'S. THEY DON'T HAVE TIME/TALENT TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR PROBLEMS JUST MORE NEW VEHICLES, MORE ENGINEERING PROBLEMS, PUSH IT OUT THE DOOR AND LET THE DEALERS TAKE CARE OF PROBLEMS. THIS SOMEHOW HAS A FAMILIAR RING TO IT LIKE TOYOTA'S PROBLEM WITH ACCELERATION! KEEP RELIEING ON ELECTRONIC CONTROLS TO RUN THE VEHICLES AND TAKE AWAY CONTROL FROMTHE DRIVER. THE AUTO COMPANIES NEED TO BE INVESTIGATED FURTHER FOR SAFETY COMPLIANCE AS MADISON AVENUE COMMERCIALS ALUDE TO THE FACT THAT ALL OF THESE SAFETY FEATURES THAT ARE INCORPORATED INTO VEHICLES WORK FLAWSLEY WHEN THEY ACTUALLY DON'T! HOW MANY MORE PEOPLE HAVE TO BE KILLED OR SERIOUSLY INJURED WITH THESE SO-CALLED SAFE VEHICLES, MADE IN USA WITH CHEAP CHINA MADE PARTS! I'M SURE THERE ARE MORE VEHICLES OUT ON THE ROAD WITH THESE SAME RE-OCCURING PROBLEMS NOT BEING REPLACED OR REPAIRED DUE TO MFGR. DEFECTS AND PROBLEMS!!!

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL
I HAVE A 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER, AND THE GAS TANK SENSOR FAILED LIKE SO MANY OTHERS FROM 2005 TO 2010. I RAN OUT OF GAS THE FIRST TIME AND IT STOPPED SO SUDDENLY I ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED. I CALLED NISSAN AND THEY SAID THAT MY VIN NUMBER DOESN'T FALL IN THE RECALL LIST. I AM ON FORUMS AND EVERYONE IS HAVING ISSUES WITH THIS BUT THEY ARE ONLY PICKING A FEW TO FIX. THIS IS WRONG. ANYWAYS NOW WHEN I FILL IT UP IT GOES TO EMPTY AND THE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT LIGHTS. THEN AFTER 30 OR SO MILES IT EVER SO SLOWLY STARTS TO CLIMB UNTIL IT IS FULL. THEN FOR NO REASON IT WILL GO EMPTY AGAIN. IT KEEPS GOING THROUGH THIS CYCLE. *TR

MY SES (SERVICE ENGINE SOON) LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR WEEKS NOW, THE FUEL GAUGE HAS BEEN COMPLETELY ERRATIC. I AM REALLY WORRIED THAT I WILL RUN OUT OF GAS IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE, OR RUN OUT OF FUEL AND NOT KNOW AND GET HIT ON THE FREEWAY! NISSAN HAS A SERVICE BULLETIN OUT ABOUT THIS VERY ISSUE BUT STILL REFUSES TO DO A RECALL ON WHAT THEY ADMIT IS A BAD SENSOR. I HAVE HAD THIS DIAGNOSED FOR FREE AT AAMCO,(P0463 IS THE CODE) NISSAN REFUSES TO ACCEPT THIS AND WANTS ME TO PAY THEM 100.00+ TO LET THEM DIAGNOSE WHAT I ALREADY KNOW! *TR
