TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER. WHILE DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE FUEL GAUGE INDICATED THAT THERE WAS FUEL IN THE FUEL TANK, BUT IN REALITY, THERE WAS NO FUEL IN THE VEHICLE.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THERE WERE NO OPEN RECALLS FOR THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,000.

RADIATOR BROKE AND MIXED FLUIDS- BOTH TRANI AND RADIATOR. TRANI BROKE AS A RESULT OF IT. I SPENT 5K TO FIX. I HAD A WARRANTY I PURCHASED FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND IT WOULD HONOR THE REPAIR BECAUSE IT WAS CAUSED BY THE RADIATOR.

DOING GENERAL CHECK UP OF MY TRUCK WHILE PERFORMING AN OIL CHANGE NOTICED SLUDGES IN THE RADIATOR. IMMEDIATELY PERFORMED BYPASS AND DRAINED THE TRANSMISSION TO FIND IT FULL OF COOLANT. FIXED THE ISSUE MYSELF AFTER ALL THE NEW PARTS ARRIVED EARLY ENOUGH TO SAVE THE TRANSMISSION. HONESTLY FEEL LIKE NISSAN OWES EVERYONE THAT HAD THIS ISSUE A BRAND NEW TRUCK NO QUESTIONS ASKED NOT RIGHT SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN AFFECTED BY THIS ISSUE AND NHTSA SOMEHOW DENIED THE CLAIM ACCORDING TO THEIR INSPECTION DO YOUR JOB SLAM NISSAN MAKE THEM PAY UP.

POWER TRAIN
OUR 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER'S RADIATOR LEAKED INTO OUR TRANSMISSION AND RUINED OUR TRANSMISSION AT 110,000 MILES. THE VEHICLE STARTED SLIPPING AND STUTTERING CHANGING GEARS WHILE WE WERE DRIVING AND IT THEN LOCKED UP WHEN WE PULLED INTO A GAS STATION AND WE COULD NOT SHIFT THE CAR INTO GEAR. THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED WHERE THE SHOP IS TELLING US IT NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR. WHEN I CALLED THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP, THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE, BUT I AM OUT OF LUCK BECAUSE IT IS NO LONGER COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE REPAIR IS OVER A $5200 FIX. THIS IS A DIRECT RESULT OF A BAD MANUFACTURED RADIATOR, NO FAULT OF OUR OWN, AND IT HAS NOW RUINED OUR TRUCK.

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE AIRBAG SENSOR BEGAN FLASHING WHEN DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AND THE ERROR CODE IS FOR THE PASSENGER SEATBELT. THE NON-DEALER MECHANIC WAS NOT ABLE TO REPAIR AND THE AIRBAGS ARE DEACTIVATED. THE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE FAILED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET. THE ECM IS NOT AVAILABLE FROM NISSAN OR AFTER MARKET FOR THIS 10 YEAR OLD VEHICLE. THE ECM CANNOT BE REBUILT. THUS, THIS LOW MILEAGE VEHICLE IN OTHERWISE EXCELLENT CONDITION IS NOW JUNK. NISSAN HAS FAILED TO PROVIDE EXPECTED VEHICLE RELIABILITY AND CONSUMER PROTECTIONS. APPARENTLY, NISSAN CEASED MANUFACTURE (INCLUDING AFTER MARKET) OF THIS CRITICAL ENGINE COMPONENT SOON AFTER INITIAL SALE WITHOUT MAKING ANY PROVISIONS FOR REPLACEMENT UPON FAILURE. I AM TOLD THAT THIS IS A STANDARD BUSINESS PRACTICE FOR NISSAN.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
NISSAN RECOGNIZED LEAK IN RADIATOR, LEADING TO CORROSION IN TRANSMISSION RESULTING IN CLUNKING SHIFTING WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, UNTIL TRANSMISSION CANNOT SHIFT BY ITSELF. SECRET WARRANTY BULLETIN PUT OUT BUT ONLY TO NISSAN SERVICE CENTRES AND NOT SHARED WITH VEHICLES OWNERS UNTIL TO LATE FOR MOST. IF THEY RECALLED OR FIXED THE RADIATOR, WOULD NOT NOW NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION REPAIR FOR ~$7000. TRUCK WILL NO LONGER GO UP HILLS UNLESS ONE SHIFTS AS IF IT WERE MANUAL

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
WHEN DRIVING MY 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER WITH A 191000 MILES AND TRUCK STARTS TO SLOW DOWN, IT WOULD DOWN SHIFT ROUGH. MADE APPT FOR NEXT DAY WITH MECHANIC. IT STILL BEING THE SAME DAY I DROVE MY SON TO THE PARK AND CAME TO A STOP , TRUCK DOWN SHIFT WAS ROUGH AGAIN AND SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON, PUSHED ON GAS AND TRUCK FELT LIKE IT LOST POWER. GOT TO PARK A BLOCK AWAY, TURNED TRUCK OFF AND IT NEVER STARTED AGAIN. TOWED TO A MECHANIC . $1100 LATER, MECHANIC SAYS TOW IT TO THE NISSAN DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC BECAUSE THE MODULAR INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT WORKING AND THEY CAN TELL WHAT'S WRONG. I GET IT TOWED TO NISSAN DEALER FOR $90 AND $450(3HRS OF LABOR TO DIAGNOSE TRUCK) LATER, NISSAN SAID RADIATOR FLUID CROSS CONTAMINATED WITH TRANSMISSION AND RUINED IT. ALSO FOUND TRANSMISSION FLUID AND ENGINE OIL IN RADIATOR. SO THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED FOR $6800. NISSAN DEALER SENDS ME SERVICE COUPONS, FLYERS TO TRADE THE FRONTIER FOR NEWER A MODEL TO MY HOUSE. THEY ALSO TEXT AND CALL. IN 2012 THEY SETTLED TO EXTEND POWER TRAIN WARRANTY BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. WHY WASN'T I INFORMED OF PREVENTATIVE MAINTENCE ON A KNOWN DEFECT.
