WHILE DRIVING ON A PAVED STATE HIGHWAY AT APRX 50MPH, THE VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN AND RPM'S WENT UP. MUCH LIKE THE TRANSMISSION HAD DOWNSHIFTED. THIS IS AN AUTOMATIC TRANS. COULDN'T MANUALLY GET IT BACK TO NORMAL BY DOWNSHIFTING OR PUTTING IT INTO NEUTRAL. SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT WAS NOW LIT. PULLED OVER, STOPPED AND TURNED OFF ENGINE. UNDER THE HOOD THERE WAS NO OBVIOUS SIGN OF LEAKING, BROKEN BELTS OR SMOKE. RESTARTED THE TRUCK AND DROVE HOME APRX 10 MILES WITH NO PROBLEM, BUT SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT STILL ON. DROVE IT THE NEXT DAY TO AUTOZONE (5MILES TOTAL) AND SHOWED CODES P1774 AND P0717. RESEARCHING THE CODES LED ME TO ALL THE TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT PROBLEMS DUE TO A FAILURE OF THE TRANS FLUID COOLER INSIDE THE RADIATOR WHICH MIXES THAT OIL WITH COOLANT AND DESTROYS COMPONENTS INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION AND REQUIRES REPLACEMENT. NOW I HAVE TO FIGURE WHAT TO DO FACING A $6000 REPAIR BILL ON A $10000 VEHICLE. THIS HAD ME LOSING SPEED IN A TRAFFIC SITUATION THAT COULD HAVE BEEN DANGEROUS AND STRANDING US AS AN ELDERLY COUPLE WITH A DISABLED PERSON IN THE ARIZONA DESERT. MONEY ASIDE, IT'S PRETTY SAD TO FIND OUT THAT THE NHTSA AND NISSAN HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM FOR YEARS AND NEITHER HAS TAKEN ANY PROACTIVE STEPS TO INFORM OR WARN THE OWNERS. JUST A LOT OF COLLECTING INFO AND WAITING FOR THE VEHICLES TO BE CARTED OFF AS JUNK AND THE PROBLEM SWEPT UNDER THE RUG. THANKS A LOT FOR STALLING FOR YEARS AND DOING NOTHING. SAFETY DOESN'T JUST PERTAIN TO HOW MANY PEOPLE DIED! NOT EXACTLY THE RIGHT THING TO DO!

ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I OWN A 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER LE CREW CAB 4X4 AND I HAVE OWNED SINCE IT HAS HAD 72,000 MILES ON IT. LAST MONDAY WHILE DRIVING TO WORK MY TRUCK SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF HWY 53 AND LOCKED UP THE STEERING AND ALMOST TOOK MY LIFE. DUE TO THE FACT NISSAN HAS IGNORED THEIR RADIATORS ARE FAULTY LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION, I AM LEFT WITH MY TRUCK SITTING IN THE YARD. I AM A 22 YEAR OLD MALE WITH 2 JOBS AND A FULL TIME STUDENT WITHOUT A WAY TO CONTINUE TO PURSE MY DREAM OF BECOMING A PHYSICAL THERAPIST.

STEERING
MY TRUCKS STEERING SYSTEM IS MAKING A LOUD NOISE WHEN TURNING AND GOING OVER BUMPS AT LOW SPEED. WHEN MY TRUCK IS RAISED UP AND I TURN THE STEERING WHEEL THERE IS NO NOISE. WHEN I LOWER IT DOWN ON THE GROUND AND TURN THE WHEEL WHEN PARKED IT MAKES THE LOUD NOISE. I CHECKED RECALLS AND THERE SEEMS TO BE ONE FOR SOME STEERING WHEEL ISSUE, BUT WHEN I CALLED NISSAN THEY SAID MY VEHICLE WAS NOT AFFECTED BY THAT RECALL. AFTER READING CUSTOMER REVIEWS, MY VEHICLE IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS THAT THOSE CUSTOMERS VEHICLES WERE HAVING THAT WERE AFFECTED BY THE RECALL. I AM CURIOUS IF NOT ENOUGH COMPLAINTS FILED FOR THIS SPECIFIC YEAR. BECAUSE WHY WOULD MY VEHICLE STEERING BE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES AS THE VEHICLES THAT WERE HAVING THAT WERE LISTED ON THE RECALL. I REALLY DON'T WANT TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE AND RISK HAVING MY STEERING GO OUT BECAUSE OF A DEFECTED PART. MY VEHICLE IS BABIED AND LOOKS LIKE BRAND NEW STILL. ALWAYS BEEN KEPT INSIDE GARAGE DURING WINTER . THIS IS THE FIRST WINTER IT HAS BEEN DRIVEN IN SNOW AND WE HAVE HAD SNOW ONLY A COUPLE TIMES.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
WHEN ENTERING HWY 17 (70 MPH SPEED LIMIT) I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR TO ENTER ONCOMING TRAFFIC. INSTEAD OF INCREASING SPEED THE TRUCK STALLED. I PULLED ONTO THE RIGHT SIDE EMERGENCY LANE IN ORDER TO PREVENT TRAFFIC FROM RUNNING OVER MY VEHICLE. I PLACED THE TRANSMISSION IN PARK AND IT SEEMED TO SMOOTH OUT . MOTOR WAS RUNNING WITH EXCESS RPM'S AND TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING. THIS WAS A NEAR ACCIDENT. I COULD HEAR CARS BEHIND PLACING ON BRAKES AND BLOWING HORN. WHEN RETURNING HOME WAS TOLD BY NISSAN DEALERSHIP RADIATOR COOLER AND TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO FAULTY LINES. NISSAN SHOULD HAVE RECALLED THIS PROBLEM.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
OUR 07 NISSAN FRONTIER WAS BEING DRIVEN TO BE INSPECTED FOR REGISTRATION WHEN, AT A STOP LIGHT, IT JUST TURNED OFF AND WOULD NOT START. WE HAD IT TOWED TO A MECHANIC. HE HAD TO SEND IT TO THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP FOR THE COMPUTER TO BE REPLACED AND REPROGRAMMED. ACCORDING TO THIS MECHANIC, THE LEAK FROM THE RADIATOR HAS MIXED WITH TRANSMISSION FLUID IN THE TRANSMISSION CAUSING ALL THESE COMPONENTS TO FAIL AND NEED REPLACING. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!!

WHILE IN THE FREEWAY, SPEED SLOWED DOWN TO 25 MPH. GOT OUT OF THE FREEWAY AND OPENED HOOD. FOUND OUT RADIATOR COOLANT LOW AND SOME WHITE STUFF I COULD SEE. RIGHT THEN IT CAME TO MY MIND THAT I HAVE THE NISSAN FAMOUS RADIATOR COOLANT LEAKING INTO TRANSMISSION AND WOULD NOT THINK IT WOULD HAPPEN TO MY TRUCK AT 38000 MILES. TRANSMISSION HAD MILKY LIKE FLUID. WHY IS THERE NO SAFETY RECALL WHEN SO MANY CARS ARE AFFECTED THAT PUT A LOT OF PEOPLE ON DANGER. INSTEAD I GOT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY OF RADIATOR. THE DEALER COULD HAVE REPLACED THE RADIATOR 5 YEARS AGO. NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM FOR YEARS.
