POWER TRAIN
WE ARE A AUTO DEALER IN OHIO. AFTER PURCHASING A 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER CREW CAB 4X4 AT THE AUCTION, WE DID A POST SALE INSPECTION AND IT PASSED. WE BROUGHT IT HOME AND DID A 60 POINT INSPECTION, OUTSIDE OF AN AIRBAG LIGHT ISSUE, IT PASSED ONCE AGAIN. ONE WEEK LATER, THE TRANSMISSION IS SHOT. AFTER A TRANSMISSION SHOP CALLED ME TODAY AND SAID $3000 TO REPLACE TRANSMISSION, I FOUND OUT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT NISSAN WILL NOT BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR. I AM LOOKING FOR ANY AND ALL ASSISTANCE. THIS QUOTE SUMS IT UP WELL, 'SIMPLY EXTENDING THE WARRANTY COVERAGE FOR THE RADIATOR WITHOUT WARNING CONSUMERS OF THE CONSEQUENCES TO THE TRANSMISSION ONLY MAKES SENSE IF NISSAN IS LOOKING TO CUT THEIR LOSSES. WHY DIDN'T NISSAN WARN CONSUMERS THAT THE TRANSMISSION COULD FAIL QUICKLY AS A RESULT OF A CRACKED COOLER TUBE? HOW MANY CONSUMERS MUST SUFFER TRANSMISSION FAILURES IN BUSY INTERSECTIONS AND ON BUSY, CONGESTED HIGHWAYS BEFORE NISSAN DOES THE ETHICAL THING AND ISSUES A SAFETY RECALL?'.

APPARENTLY MY VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED BY THE BELOW CAMPAIGN WHEN IN FACT IT'S EXHIBITING THE BEHAVIOR EXPLAINED ON THE RECALL. I CALLED THE DEALER IN SUNNYVALE CA AND THEY CONFIRMED THAT IS NOT COVERED. NISSAN SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FAULTY AIRBAG SENSOR ACROSS THE BOARD NOT JUST IN SOME STATES!

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY ON 7/13/2019 I FELT MY TRUCK JERKING/TUGGING WHICH HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. ON 7/14/2019 THE 'SERVICE ENGINE' LIGHT CAME ON AND THE JERKING WAS MORE NOTICEABLE, I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALER FOR SERVICE ON 7/16/2019 AND I WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS COOLANT MIXED IN WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND THE TCM EVENTUALLY FRIED SINCE IT IS HOUSED INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION, APPARENTLY THE TRANSMISSION COOLING HOSES ROUTE TO THE RADIATOR AND THE ONLY REMEDY IS TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AND THE RADIATOR. I SEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO. THE PROBLEM

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THERE IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL SENDING UNIT FOR FRONTIERS ABOUT THIS AGE. NISSAN EXTENDED THE WARRANTEE A FEW YEARS AGO, BUT IT WASN'T LONG ENOUGH TO COVER THE DEFECT. NOW THE SENDING UNIT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED FOR THE FUEL GAUGE TO WORK, AND THE WHOLE GAS TANK NEEDS TO BE DROPPED TO DO IT. NISSAN OUGHT TO COVER THIS KNOWN ISSUE WITH A FULL RECALL, NOT JUST AN EXTENDED WARRANTEE.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
WE HAD JUST HAD OUR OIL CHANGED IN OUR NISSAN FRONTIER AND HAD A GENERAL CHECK OF THE VEHICLE BEFORE DRIVING IT ON A VACATION TO ANOTHER STATE. EVERYTHING WAS IN PERFECT WORKING ORDER. WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW AND IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN WELL-MAINTAINED. IT HAS 118,000 MILES. WHILE DRIVING HOME LESS THAN A WEEK AFTER WE LEFT, WE NOTICED THAT THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN SLIPPING AND COOLANT WAS SUDDENLY LEAKING FROM THE TRUCK. WE ALSO NOTICED A PINK OR ORANGE FLUID MIXED WITH THE COOLANT. WE WERE >3 HOURS AWAY FROM HOME WHEN THIS HAPPENED. THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPAGE GOT WORSE AS WE WERE DRIVING. WE WERE LUCKILY ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME AND TOOK OUR VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE. WE FOUND OUT THAT THIS TRUCK HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AS OTHER NISSANS--COOLANT MIXED WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID, CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION TO SUDDENLY FAIL. NOW THE VEHICLE IS NOT DRIVEABLE AND WERE ARE SUDDENLY LEFT WITH A VERY BIG COST TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. THIS SUDDEN FAILURE OF THE TRANSMISSION WITHOUT ANY WARNING IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE. WE COULD HAVE BEEN STRANDED FAR FROM HOME OR WORSE, THE TRANSMISSION COULD HAVE FAILED WHILE WE WERE DRIVING, CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. I KNOW THAT NISSAN HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM SINCE 2007 AND HAS FAILED TO ISSUE A RECALL TO FIX IT AND FAILED TO CHANGE THE DESIGN OF LATER VEHICLES. WE HAD NO IDEA THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH OUR VEHICLE UNTIL IT HAPPENED TO US. SINCE EVERYTHING WAS IN PERFECT WORKING ORDER WHEN WE LEFT, WE HAD NO REASON TO SUSPECT THAT IN LESS THAN A WEEK, OUR VEHICLE WOULD BECOME UNDRIVEABLE.

TRANSMISSION WENT INTO LIMP MODE LEAVING DRIVEWAY. CLEARED BY SHUTTING OFF & RESTART. DID THIS TWICE THEN WOULD NOT RESET. TOOK TO SHOP & DIAGNOSED CONTAMINATED TRANNY FLUID & RUINED TRANSMISSION. ONE PART REPLACED WAS NISSAN OEM TCM. THREE MONTHS AFTER REBUILD SAME THING HAPPENED ON HIGHWAY BUT COULD NOT CLEAR LIMP MODE. $400 TOW TO SHOP BUT THEY SAID ALL TESTED AND PASSED, RESET CODES. HAPPENED AGAIN ON HIGHWAY AND DROVE TO NISSAN DEALER IN FLAGSTAFF. THEY DIAGNOSED LACK OF COMMUNICATION WITH TCM AND SAID IT WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN, AND TO GET TO SHOP FOR DIAGNOSIS WITHOUT TURNING OFF THE ENGINE. THE THIRD TIME THIS HAPPENED ON HIGHWAY DROVE SLOW IN LIMP MODE BACK TO ORIGNIAL SHOP THAT REBUILT TRANSMISSION. TRANSMISSION SHOP AFTER DIAGNOSTIC SAID OEM TCM FAILED. AVONDALE NISSAN SUPPLIED SHOP WITH NEW TCM BUT ONLY AFTER FAILED TCM WAS RETURNED. TOTAL EXPENSES OVER $7000 AND LOSS OF VEHICLE USE FOR 10 DAYS WHEN TRANSMISSION WAS REBUILT AND 26 CALENDAR DAYS SECOND TIME DUE TO DIFFICULTY IN SHOP DETERMINING EXACTLY WHAT FAILED BECAUSE NISSAN SAID TCM NOT PRONE TO FAILURE HISTORY.

MY FRONTIER WAS INVOLVED IN A FUEL LEVEL SENSOR RECALL IN 2010 AND WAS NEVER REPLACED.THE CEL CAME ON TODAY(10/17/2018).I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALER AND THEY SAID THE WARRANTY ON THAT PART WAS INCREASED 72;000 MILES OR THREE YEARS.SO AS OF TODAY IT IS EXPIRED.I THOUGHT IF A PART WAS UNDER RECALL IT WAS FOR THE LIFE OF VEHICLE. I WORKED AT THIS DEALERSHIP FOR OVER TWENTY YEARS AND NEVER HEARD OF ANYTHING LIKE THIS.IF A PART IS DEFECTIVE DOES IT MATTER WHEN IT FAILS?
