AT 130,000 MILES WE STARTED TO NOTICE TRANSMISSION ISSUES SUCH AS SLIPPING AND AT 40 MPH, A VIBRATION LIKE YOU WAS RUNNING ON THE RUBBLE STRIPS ON THE HIGHWAY. TOOK TO THE GARAGE AND THEY SAID IT WAS DUE TO BAD TIRES. PAID OVER $500 FOR NEW TIRES, PROBLEM STILL OCCURRED. WAS TOLD SINCE NO ENGINE CODE, THEY HAD NO CLUE WHAT WAS GOING ON. THE SLIPPING GOT SO BAD, CLEARING A INTERSECTION OR PULLING OUT INTO MOVING TRAFFIC BECAME DANGEROUS. FRUSTRATED WITH DEALER BS AND OTHER GARAGE BS. I YOUTUBED IT. SAW A DEFECTIVE RADIATOR VIDEO. CHECKED MY ANTIFREEZE AND TRANSMISSION OIL TO FIND THEM BOTH MILKY. MY TRUCK IS 9 YEARS OLD AND THE RADIATOR FAILED. THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY WAS AT STAKE WHEN THE TRANSMISSION FAILED TO WORK AS WE WAITED FOR ANTIFREEZE TO POWER OUR TRANSMISSION AND WATCHED OUR ENGINES OVERHEAT AS IT WAS NOW COOLED WITH OIL. 100% SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL, 1000% SHOULD HAVE BEEN AT LEAST A WARNING TO CUSTOMERS OF THE RISK TO OUR SAFETY. I`LL NEVER BUY A NISSAN AGAIN, OR RECOMMEND OTHER TO DO SO. AT 100,000, BOTH REAR LEAF SPRINGS BROKE. TRUCK HAS NEVER BEEN USED TO HAUL HEAVY LOADS TO CAUSE THIS FAILURE. ON TOP OF THAT, THE STEERING RADIUS REALLY SUCKS. A THREE POINT TUN IN THIS TRUCK IS REALLY A 21 POINT TURN.

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.
