FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP
VECHILE IS 2000 NISSIAN FRONTIER CREW CAB SE. 10-04 GOT RECALL NOTICE ON FUEL SYSTEM GASOLINE FUEL PUMP. TOOK TRUCK IN WAS TOLD NO CRACK OR CORROSION SO WAS TOLD THEY PUT A SEALENT ON IT. PROCEDURE PER RECALL I HAVE. RECALL # IS 04V230000. ON 6-15 TRUCK STOP WORKING IN MAJOR INTERSECTION WAS ALMOST HIT FROM BEHIND. TRUCK TOWED TO NISSIAN 6-1605 AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THIS PART THAT WAS CRACKED AND HAD LOTS OF CORROSION ON IT, BUT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT SINCE RECALL WAS FOR SEALENT ONLY. NOT ACCEPTABLE. WAS TOLD THAT NEBRASKA IS NOT A SALT STATE SO THE SEALENT WOULD WORK. WHAT THE HECK DO THESE PEOPLE THINK WE USE FOR THE ICE AND SNOW WE HAVE HERE? SORRY. PEOPLE AT MY DEALERSHIP WERE THE BEST. THEY REALLY TRIED TO GO TO BAT FOR ME BUT THEIR HANDS ARE TIED AS WELL. THEY WERE TOLD IT WAS A COMPANY POLICY. I AM REALLY UPSET. I CALLED THE 800 # FOR NISSIAN AND GOT NO WHERE. HELL THEY WOULD NOT GIVE ME A A STREET ADDR FOR ME TO SEND A CERTIFIED LETTER TO AND THEY WOULD NOT TELL ME WHO THE CEO WAS. I GOT SOME WOMEN ON THE PHONE WHO JUST GAVE ME THE RUN AROUND AND SAID SHE WOULD OPEN A FILE. WHAT EVER THAT MEANS. I BELIEVE THESE PEOPLE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS PART. THEY NEW IT WAS BAD IN THE BEGINING.IT SAYS SO ON THEIR WEBSITE. NEBRASKA A NO SALT STATE. WHERE DO THESE PEOPLE THINK NEBRASKA IS, THE TROPICS? SORRY. I WISH TO ISSUE A FORMAL COMPLAINT. I DO NOT WANT ANYONE ELSE TO HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS NOR IF THEIR ENGINE STOPS I WOULD HATE FOR A FATLITY TO TAKE PLACE. I WOULD THINK THEY WOULD WANT TO PREVENT THAT MY SELF. I AM A RESONALBE PERSON WITH A GREAT SENSE OF HUMOR BUT MY HUMOR AND MY PATIENTCE IS RUNNING VERY LOW. I HOPE TO HEAR FROM SOMEONE ON YOUR END AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THANK YOU LAURAL.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL:CATALYTIC CONVERTOR
I PUCHASED A 05 FRONTIER P/U 2WD, AND LOG ON 2K MILES WHEN ENGINE CHECK SOON LIGHT CAME ON. I BROUGHT TO THE DEALER AND THEY ORDERED A CATALETIC CONVERTER ON 5-19-05 BUT UNTILL NOW THEY DONT HAVE THE PART AND TOLD ME TO CALL NISSAN FACTORY INQUIRING ABOUT MY CATALETIC CONVERTER? I BELIEVE THE DEALERSHIP SHOULD FOLLOW-UP OR TRACK WHEN IS THE PART COMING, I DONT GET ANY ANSWER EXCEPT THAT THE P/U IS NEW AND HARD TO GET THE PARTS IN. SHOULD I GET A REPLACEMENT CAR IN THE MEANTIME WHILE THEY HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE PARTS TO COME IN? REGARDS ROGER FEROLINO

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER:LINKAGES
WIPER ARM BROKE, LEAVING ME IN A DOWNPOUR WITH NO WIPERS. I WAS TOWED TO SERVICE, BUT NO DEALER IN THREE STATES HAD THE PART. ALL DEALERS AND THE REGIONAL OFFICE SAID THAT THE PART HAD BEEN ON BACKORDER AND WAS IN DEMAND, LEADING US TO BELIEVE THAT THE MANUFACTURER WAS AWARE THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM AND WAS NOT ACTING TO FIX IT. REGIONAL PARTS SUPERVISOR CONFIRMED THIS. AFTER A DAY'S SEARCH, WE FOUND A USED PART (AT HIGHER COST) 100 MILES AWAY.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY:FILLER PIPE AND CAP
MY 2001 NISSAN FRONTIER HAS SPILLED FUEL EVERY TIME I FILL UP THE TANK SINCE I PURCHASED THE TRUCK. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE TRUCK. I WONDERED WHY THIS HAD NOT BEEN CORRECTED BY A RECALL SO I SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND FOUND THIS WEB SITE. I FOUND NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 02V300000 AND TO MY SURPRISE FOUND THAT THIS PROBLEM HAD BEEN NOTED AND A RECALL HAD BEEN ISSUED. I CONTACTED THE DEALER BUT HE TOLD ME THAT BASED ON THE VEHICLE ID NUMBER MY TRUCK DID NOT QUALIFY FOR THIS RECALL. I THEN CALLED NISSAN DIRECTLY TO BE TOLD THE SAME THING. THE PROBLEM DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL IS IDENTICAL TO WHAT I AM EXPERIENCING AND IT WOULD APPEAR THAT NEITHER THE DEALER NOR NISSAN IS WILLING TO DO ANYTHING TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM. THANKS, SEAN

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WITH THE SPEEDOMETER, TACHOMETER, ODOMETER AND TEMP GUAGE. THE NEEDLE ON ALL THREE OF THEM OCCASSIONALY DROPS TO 0 AND STAYS THERE FOR AN UNDETERMINED TIME UNTIL THEY SPRING BACK TO LIFE FOR A WHILE. AFTER SOME ON-LINE RESEARCH, IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH MANY 2000 YEAR MODELS INCLUDING: ALTIMA, SENTRA, FRONTIER, AND PATHFINDER. THIS HAS BEEN A RECURRING AND ON-GOING PROBLEM.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:CRUISE CONTROL
I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN FRONTIER CREW CAB. THE NORMAL CRUSING RPM IS AROUND 2300 ON THE HIGHWAY. ON THE INITIAL DATE OF 6/25/2004, I BEGAN TO NOTE THAT WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATING ON CRUISE CONTROL, DURING A DOWNSHIFT INTO A PASSING GEAR, SUCH AS CLIMBING A GRADE, THE MOTOR INCREASES TO 3500 RPMS. UPON LEVELING OFF, THE CRUISE CONTROL DOES NOT ALLOW THE MOTOR TO REDUCE THE RPM'S BACK DOWN TO CRUSIING LEVEL OF 23-2500 RPM. I FIND MYSELF HAVING TO BRAKE OR CUT OFF THE CRUISE CONTROL TO REDUCE THE RPM BACK TO NORMAL. THE NISSAN DEALER IN ASHEVILLE NORTH CAROLINA HAS HAD THIS TRUCK ON 7/1/04, 7/28/04, AND 8/11/04 ATTEMPTING TO FIX THIS PROBLEM WITH NO SUCCESS. THE LAST OCCASION, THEY KEPT THE VEHICLE FOR OVER TWO WEEKS WITH NO LUCK. ON 9/8/04, THE SERVICE MANAGER ADVISED ME THAT THE PROBLEM WAS A BAD CODE THAT NISSAN ENGINEERING WOULD HAVE TO RESOLVE AND HE WOULD NOTIFY ME. SEVEN MONTHS LATER I'VE HEARD NOTHING SO I INQUIRED TODAY WHILE MY TRUCK WAS BEING SERVICED. HE ADVISED THAT THERE IS STILL NO FIX AND HE HAS A LIST OF SIX CUSTOMERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM/COMPLAINT. THE ACS CONTROL MODULE WAS REPLACED AS WELL AS THE ACTUATOR AND A RELAY WITH NO SUCCESS.*AK

THE "DIFFERENTIAL LOCK" (DIF LOCK) DASH LIGHT GOES ON AFTER A PERIOD OF DRIVING. AFTER AWHILE, THE DIF LOCK LIGHT TURNS OFF & THE ABS & SLIP DASH LIGHTS COME ON. AT FIRST, THE DEALER COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. AFTER ADDITIONAL DRIVING BY THE DEALERSHIP, THE LIGHTS CAME ON. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED A CONTROL MODULE WHICH CONTROLS ALL OF THESE FEATURES.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL
2/25/05 I PURCHASED A USED NISSAN FRONITER SC '01. ONE WEEK LATER THE "SERVICE ENGINE" LIGHT APPEARED. A NISSAN TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS THE OXYGEN SENSORS NOT PROVIDING FEEDBACK DUE TO CONDENSATION IN THE WIRE HARNESSES. THE TECH. TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS A BULLETIN HE FOUND STATING THAT THE WIRE HARNESSES IN THAT YEAR FRONTIER WERE FOUND TO BE FAULTY AND REPLACED WITH UPDATED HARNESSES, WHICH I WOULD HAVE TO BUY ALONG WITH FOUR SENSORS, TO FIX MY PROBLEM. THE COST IN PARTS WAS $965 AND LABOR IS ESTIMATED AT $880. NISSAN WILL NOT EVEN PAY FOR PARTIAL PARTS EVEN THOUGH THEY ADMIT IT IS FAULTY PRODUCT. I HAVE CONTACTED THEM TO COMPLAIN WITH THE APPROPRIATE DEPARTMENT AND NOW THEY WILL NOT RETURN MY CALLS.*AK
