I HAVE A 2015 NISSAN FRONTIER SV WITH ONLY 21,514 MILES AND THE RADIATOR HAS A LEAK. NO FRONT END DAMAGE AND ALL MAINTENANCE WAS DONE BY SELLER (PERFORMANCE NISSAN) IN POMPANO BEACH FLORIDA. NO EXTENDED WARRANTY WAS PURCHASED BUT THEY DO HAVE A 20 YEAR/200,000 POWER TRAIN WARRANTY BUT THEY WON'T COVER THE RADIATOR. *TR

SEATS
AROUND MARCH 23, 2020 I NOTICED MY DRIVERS SEAT MOVING WHEN I ACCELERATE OR SLOW DOWN. I THOUGHT THE PROBLEM WAS LOOSE HARDWARE SO I WAS GOING TO TIGHTEN THE MOUNTING BOLTS OVER THE WEEKEND. WHEN I STARTED TO TIGHTEN THE HARDWARE I FOUND IT WAS ALL TIGHT. BUT THE SEAT CONTINUED TO MOVE ABOUT. THAT WEEKEND I REMOVED THE DRIVER'S SEAT AND FOUND THE FRONT RIGHT MOUNTING POINT TORN OUT OF THE SHEET METAL. THE THREADED RE-ENFORCEMENT TAB HAD TORN THROUGH THE SHEET METAL USED AT THE SEAT MOUNTING POINT. I REMOVED THE TAB FROM THE SEAT AND NOTICED THAT THE SPOT WELDS HAD NOT FAILED IT WAS THE SHEET METAL BRACE BRACKET, IT WAS ATTACHED TO, THAT HAD FAILED. I FIRST NOTICED THE MOVEMENT WHILE HEADING HOME FROM WORK AND ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN FROM A 2 LANE SIDE ROAD TO A 6 LANE DIVIDED CITY ROAD. IN THE TIME THAT I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE IT HAS NEVER BEEN WREAKED, AND TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE THIS VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE GOTTEN SEVERAL REPAIR ESTIMATES FROM COLLISION SHOPS. UNIVERSALLY ALL OF THE SHOPS CLAIMED TO HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS KIND OF DAMAGE. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
DRIVING TO WORK AND VEHICLE SHUT OFF AND COASTED TO A STOP. I TRIED TO RESTART AND IT ACTED LIKE IT WAS NOT GETTING FUEL. THE GAS GAUGE WAS SHOWING SLIGHTLY UNDER A 1/4 OF A TANK. I HAD SOMEONE COME GET ME AND TAKE ME HOME. AFTER DOING A LITTLE ONLINE RESEARCH I FOUND A NHTSA RECALL FOR THAT SPECIFIC TRUCK CAMPAIGN ID# 10V075000, RECALL DATE 3/3/2010. AFTER READING THIS I WENT AND PURCHASED SOME GAS AND PUT IT IN THE TRUCK.THE TRUCK FIRED RIGHT UP BUT THE GAS HAND DIDN'T MOVE. CALLED TWO LOCAL NISSAN DEALERS AND TALKED TO THEM ABOUT THE RECALL BUT THEY FOUND NONE FOR MY VIN.

POWER TRAIN
AFTER 9/19 PURCHASE, FOUND THAT USING AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION GEAR SELECTOR FROM PARK INTO DRIVE INTERMITTENTLY REFLECTED '4' ON THE DASHBOARD AND WOULD NOT ENGAGE INTO THE SELECTED GEAR. I FOUND THAT I HAD TO EITHER RETURN THE SHIFTER TO THE 'P' POSITION AND/OR RETURN TO THE 'P' POSITION FOLLOWED BY TURNING THE ENGINE OFF BEFORE REATTEMPTING. OVERALL, SOUNDS EMANATING FROM THE TRANSMISSION DURING TRANSITIONING TO/FROM A SELECTED GEAR AFTER STOPPING PRODUCES CLEARLY UNNERVING 'CLUNKING' SOUNDS.

STRUCTURE:BODY, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
THIS TRUCK HAS BEEN WORKED ON MULTIPLE TIMES FOR RUST, CORROSION, GAS TANK LEAKS, BEARINGS AND REAR DIFFERENTIAL. IT CONTINUES TO RUST AND CORRODE. THE MOTOR RUNS WELL BUT THE VEHICLE HAS RUSTED EVEN WITH EXCELLENT CARE. I AM SO DISAPPOINTED. THE GAS TANK HAS BEEN FIXED MULTIPLE TIMES AND CONTINUES TO CORRODE AND LEAK. I THINK THAT ALL OF THESE ISSUES NEED TO BE CHECKED ON. THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL HAS CORRODED AND ALL OF THESE ISSUES ARE VERY EXPENSIVE EVERY TIME THAT IT HAS TO BE FIXED. I WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR HELP WITH THESE PROBLEMS.

POWER TRAIN
RADIATOR THAT CONTROLS THE TRANSMISSION COOLANT LET GO CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION COOLANT TO MIX WITH THE ENGINE COOLANT. I HAD THE TRANSMISSION REPAIRED AT NEW RIVER NISSAN BACK IN 2018. BEFORE I HAD NISSAN REPAIR IT I HAD TAKEN IT TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP WHERE IT WAS FLUSHED OUT AND A SMALL RADIATOR ADDED TO THE TRUCK BECAUSE OF THE RADIATOR GOING BAD . THE TRUCK HAD LESS THAN 80,000 MILES ON IT AND LESS THAN A 9 YEARS. AS THE RECALL WAS ADDED TO THAT AFTER ALL THE PROBLEMS FROM THE RADIATOR. I FILL LIKE I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED FOR EVERYTHING THAT I PAID OUT WHICH WAS ABOUT 3500.00 TOTAL. BUT NOW IT'S STILL MIXING COOLANT AFTER BEING SERVICED BY A NISSAN DEALER.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
EVERY TIME I NEED TO FILL MY TRUCK UP, I NEVER LET IT GET BELOW A QUARTER OF A TANK, FUEL WILL COME SHOOTING BACK OUT AS IF IT IS FULL, BUT IT IS NOT. MY TRUCK WAS OFF, AND THE KEY NOT IN THE IGNITION. THIS HAS HAPPENED EVERY SINCE MY GETTING THIS TRUCK, 1/19/20190 TO CURRENT. I HAVE TO FUEL SLOW IN ORDER TO GET GAS A FULL TANK, LIKE THERE IS A KINK IN THE SYSTEM.
