2005 Nissan Frontier complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT OBSERVED AN OIL LEAVE IN THE DRIVEWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTICS, WHO STATED THAT COOLANT FLUID WAS LEAKING AND THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS MIXING WITH THE COOLANT FLUID. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BY REPLACING THE RADIATOR AND THE TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY. THE FAILURE WAS NOT REPORTED TO THE MANUFACTURER. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 89,047.

THE 2005 NISSAN FRONTIER NISMO 4X4 THAT I WAS DRIVING STARTED SLIPPING AND MISSING CAUSING MY ENGINE TO SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING. THE ENGINE BECAME VERY JUMPY AND COULD NOT BE CONTROLLED. HAD THERE BEEN OTHER PEOPLE ON THE ROAD, THERE COULD HAVE BEEN A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT. *TR

MY 2005 NISSAN FRONTIER HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE RADIATOR THAT ALLOWS COOLANT TO ENTER THE TRANSMISSION WHICH IS CAUSING MAJOR DAMAGE TO THE INTERIOR PARTS OF THE TRANSMISSION CAUSING IT TO NOT SHIFT THROUGH THE GEARS. NISSAN IS ONLY WILLING TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY TO 100,000 MILES AND $3000 FOR THE REPAIRS OF THEIR DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS. *TR

MY TRUCK BEGAN DISPLAYING SYMPTOMS OF CATASTROPHIC TRANSMISSION FAILURE. FOR EXAMPLE, GEAR SLIPPAGE AND SHUDDERING AS IF ROLLING OVER RUMBLE STRIPS. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND THEY FOUND THE COOLANT HAD TRANSFORMED INTO A THICK PINK SUBSTANCE. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT A SEAL HAD FAILED IN THE RADIATOR CAUSING COOLANT TO MIX WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. THIS THEN BAKED INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION. WE REPLACED THE RADIATOR AND SO FAR HAVE DELAYED THE INEVITABLE REPLACEMENT OF THE TRANSMISSION. I CALLED LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIPS AND THEY KNOW ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT DECLINED TO OFFER SIGNIFICANT INFORMATION. I CONTACTED NISSAN AND BECAUSE OF LANGUAGE BARRIERS, ETC., THEY WOULD NOT ADDRESS MY ISSUE. I CONTACTED THE BBB AND A NISSAN REPRESENTATIVE EVENTUALLY CALLED ME, BUT IN THE END DISREGARDED MY ISSUES WITH MOCK CONCERN. I CONTACTED THE MN ATTORNEY GENERAL AND THEY SAID I MIGHT TAKE THEM TO SMALL CLAIMS COURT. IT SEEMS THAT NISSAN HAS CONCOCTED A WARRANTY THAT ONLY BENEFITS PEOPLE WHO EXPERIENCE THE PROBLEM AT A VERY PREMATURE STAGE. *TR

TRANSMISSION FAILING SOUNDS AND FEELS LIKE DRIVING OVER RUMBLE STRIPS. ALSO NOTICED CABIN HEATER DOES NOT WORK WHEN AT A STOP. SIGNS INDICATIVE OF RADIATOR/TRANSMISSION SEAL FAILURE AND RADIATOR COOLANT IN TRANSMISSION. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED GEARS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS LEAKING. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

I NOTICED AT DRIVING SPEEDS OF AROUND 45 MPH THE TRUCK WOULD SHAKE VERY BAD. ALSO MY HEATER WOULD ONLY BLOW COLD AIR. WHEN I TOOK THE TRUCK IN THEY SAID THE TRANSMISSION FLUID LOOKED LIKE A STRAWBERRY MILKSHAKE. $6000.00 LATER AND LOOKING ONLINE SEEING ALL THE OTHER PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUES I AM TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHY NISSAN IS NOT BEING HELD RESPONSIBLE? *TR

DRIVING AT ABOUT 40MPH MY 2005 NISSAN FRONTIER 4.0L V6 STARTS TO RUMBLE FOR APPROXIMATELY 4 SECONDS AS IF I WERE DRIVING OVER A RUMBLE STRIP. ONCE THE RUMBLE BEGINS THERE IS A LOSS OF POWER. THIS IS HAPPENING AT LEAST TWICE A DAY. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS MY 2005 FRONTIER BEGAN SHUDDERING AND THEN LOST POWER WHICH COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A REAR END COLLISION. AN INDEPENDENT SERVICE TECHNICIAN DETERMINED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FLUID IS CONTAMINATED. IT APPEARS NISSAN HAS BEEN LONG AWARE OF THIS ISSUE, WITH THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ACROSS THE BOARD FROM THE 2005 - 2010 FRONTIERS, PATHFINDERS AND XTERRAS NISSAN SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION. THIS IS A CATASTROPHIC DEFECT IN DESIGN KNOWN TO NISSAN AND SHOULD BE MADE RIGHT BY NISSAN TO PROTECT THE SAFETY OF THE CUSTOMER. *TR

LOUD CLANKING SOUNDS COMING FROM UNDER VEHICLE; MY MECHANIC SAYS ITS THE TRANSMISSION, AGAIN; EIGHT YEAR OLD VEHICLE, GOING ON ITS 3RD TRANSMISSION... I PAID $1,500.00 FOR THE LAST ONE (2010)... WHY DO THESE KEEP GOING BAD? PLEASE HELP. *TR

TRANSMISSION ATF IS CONTAMINATED WITH COOLANT CAUSE TRANSMISSION TO DETERIORATE. TRANSMISSION RATTLES AT SPEEDS OVER 45 MILES PER HOUR WHEN SHIFTING INTO AND OUT OF OVERDRIVE. BECOMING NOTICEABLY MORE JERKY OVER TIME IN LOWER GEARS. HEAT DOES NOT WORK WHILE ENGINE IS IDLING AND TAKES A LONG TIME TO WARM UP WHILE MOVING. COLD AIR BLOWING ACROSS WINDSHIELD ON COLD DAYS HAS CAUSED WINDSHIELD TO FOG UP FROM THE INSIDE MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE. VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS UNDER 113000 MILES AND NISSAN DEALERSHIP HAS GIVEN ME AN ESTIMATE OF $5119.42 TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION/RADIATOR ASSEMBLY. *TR

FOUND OUT TODAY THAT MY 2005 NISSAN FRONTIER IS AFFECTED BY DEFECTIVE RADIATOR THAT IS CAUSING COOLANT TO MIX IN WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID THUS FATALLY DAMAGING TRANSMISSION. UNDERSTAND THAT THIS A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM FOR THIS YEAR AND MODEL NISSAN. RADIATOR HAS TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $1400.00 THAT NISSAN WON'T PAY FOR BECAUSE MILEAGE IS OVER 100,000 MILES. I DON'T KNOW YET IF TRANSMISSION IS DAMAGED. THIS IS A DEFECT THAT NISSAN KNOWS ABOUT AND THEY SHOULD REPLACE AT NO CHARGE NO MATTER WHAT THE MILEAGE IS. THIS IS THEIR PROBLEM, BUT UNFORTUNATELY NOW ITS MINE. PLEASE HELP AND ISSUE A RECALL. THANK YOU. *TR

JUST BOUGHT AN 05' NISSAN FRONTIER AND UPON GETTING ONTO A HIGHWAY I SPED UP TO 55-60MPH TO FEEL A VIBRATION LIKE GOING OVER SPEED BUMPS AND A LOSS OF POWER. IT TURNS OUT THAT THE INTERCOOLER FROM THE RADIATOR BROKE INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION CAUSING A LEAK OF ANTIFREEZE INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION. WHICH CAUSED SOMETHING IN THE TRANSMISSION TO BREAKDOWN. I AM NOT VERY PROFICIENT IN CAR REPAIR SO I AM NOT SURE THE EXACT PART THIS CAUSES TO MALFUNCTION INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION. ALL I KNOW IS THAT I NEED A BRAND NEW TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR WHICH IS GOING TO CAUSE $6000.00 AT LEAST. I ALSO KNOW THAT THIS IS A WIDESPREAD THING AND A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS HAPPEN TO 05-10 NISSAN FRONTIERS, XTERRAS AND PATHFINDERS. THIS SEEMS LIKE A SAFETY ISSUES; IF I'M ON A HIGHWAY WITH MY FAMILY AND TRY TO PASS SOMEONE AND EXPERIENCE A LOSS OF POWER TO SPEED UP TO PASS THEM I COULD GET IN A HEAD ON COLLISION. *TR

THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS LACK IT TRYING TO LOCKUP WHILE DRIVING AT A SPEED OF 45 MILES PER HOUR. IT HAS GOT SO BAD THAT I HAVE PARK THE TRUCK AT HOME BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION MAY LOCK UP WHILE I AM DRIVING. AND MAY CAUSE SOMEONE TO GET KILLED. *TR

EXPERIENCED SUDDEN JERKING WHEN TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED AS A FAILED TRANSMISSION COOLER WHICH ALLOWED COOLANT TO MIX WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID, CAUSING INTERNAL DAMAGE TO THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION. PRIOR TO THIS, THERE WAS NOTHING AMISS WITH THE OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE. APPARENTLY THIS IS COMMON AND EVEN THOUGH SEVERAL COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN FILED TO NHTSA, NISSAN STILL CLAIMS THAT THERE IS NO DEFECT. BASED ON THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE, PLEASE CONSIDER ISSUING A RECALL. I JUST BOUGHT MY TRUCK IN DEC. 2012 WITH ABOUT 81,000 MILES AND 4 MONTHS AND 2,000 MILES LATER, I AM ON THE HOOK FOR THIS DEFECT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALER WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE HOWEVER, NO ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 280,000.

SERVICE ENGINE SOON LED ILLUMINATED AFTER STARTING VEHICLE. CHECKED CODE IS P0463 FUEL LEVEL SENSOR A CIRCUIT HIGH INPUT. FUEL LEVEL GAUGE IS NOT ACCURATE. DRIVER DOES NOT KNOW WHEN FUEL TANK IS EMPTY. SHOULD BE A RECALL. *TR

THE COOLANT IS MIXING WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. IT'S A KNOWN AND WIDESPREAD DEFECT YET NISSAN IGNORES IT. WE PAID $14,000 FOR THE TRUCK LESS THAN A YEAR AGO, BUT NISSAN HAS SQUEEZED US OUT OF ANY REBATE BECAUSE THE TRUCK IS OVER 100,000 MILES. NOW WE HAVE TO PAY ANOTHER $7,000 TO FIX IT. THAT'S WRONG. THEY SHOULD FIX IT NO MATTER HOW OLD. *TR

COMING HOME FROM WORK THE TRUCK STARTED TO OVERHEAT AND THE TRANSMISSION STARTED TO SKIP. I HAD TO TURN ON THE HEATER TO KEEP THE TRUCK FROM OVERHEATING AND THEN THE TRANSMISSION STARTED TO ENGAGE AND DISENGAGE. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE ANTIFREEZE IS LEAKING IN TO THE TRANSMISSION. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH NISSAN, BUT THEY ARE NOT FIXING THE PROBLEM. I HAVE THREE CHILDREN THAT ARE IN THE TRUCK WITH ME. IF THAT TRANSMISSION BREAKS AND CAN CAUSE MAJOR PROBLEMS. NISSAN NEEDS TO REPLACE THE PARTS. *TR

$6219.70 FOR A REMANUFACTURED TRANSMISSION BECAUSE I'M ~2000 MILES OUT OF THEIR RECENTLY "EXTENDED" WARRANTY. TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR/COOLING SYSTEM WERE RECOMMENDED TO BE REPLACED BY NISSAN TODAY BECAUSE OF CONTAMINATION OF TRANSMISSION FLUID BY A (KNOWN BUT NOT RECALLED) DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION COOLER LINE. AT APPROXIMATELY 98,000K THE TRUCK BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE VIBRATION WITH OVERDRIVE ENGAGED. IT FELT LIKE DRIVING OVER RUMBLE STRIPS ALSO, THE TRUCK HAD NO HEAT WHEN IDLING. I TOOK IT TO A QUALIFIED LOCAL MECHANIC AND HAD THE RADIATOR FLUSHED. THAT CORRECTED THE HEAT ISSUE. IT WAS RECOMMENDED TO TAKE THE TRUCK TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP TO LOOK AT THE ISSUE. I DRIVE THE TRUCK DAILY TO/FROM WORK AND TRAVEL WITH MY 3 DAUGHTERS TO AND FROM SCHOOL. MY NEXT OPPORTUNITY WAS ABOUT 6 WEEKS LATER AND I TOOK IT TO NISSAN. THERE WAS A RECENT CLASS ACTION SUIT REGARDING THIS ISSUE AND "AN EXTENSION WAS OFFERED WHICH WOULD REPAIR THE ISSUE FOR $3000.00. THIS COVERED CARS UP TO 100K. BECAUSE NISSAN DID NOT DIAGNOSE THIS ISSUE UNTIL I WAS AT 102,200 MILES, A LOW LEVEL CALL CENTER DENIED THE REPAIR. RATHER THAN DRIVE THE 10,000 MILES PER YEAR THAT IS APPARENTLY ACCEPTABLE TO NISSAN, I DRIVE ROUGHLY 12,750. THAT EXTRA 35 MILES PER DAY MAKES IT SO THAT I HAVE TO PAY AN ADDITIONAL $3219.70 FOR SOMETHING THAT I SHOULD BE PAYING NOTHING FOR. THE FIX FOR THE ISSUE THAT DESTROYED MY TRANSMISSION IS ACTUALLY A ROUGHLY $500 REPAIR OR LESS THAN $100 FOR A DIY'ER. NISSAN WAS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND SHOUL

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE SLIP WARNING LAMP ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT HE WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE RADIATOR COOLANT HOSE WAS LEAKING AND THE CAM SHAFT POSITION SENSOR WAS DEFECTIVE. AS A RESULT, BOTH COMPONENTS WERE REPLACED HOWEVER, THE REMEDY FAILED TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO STATED THAT THERE WAS TRANSMISSION FLUID FOUND IN THE RADIATOR AND DUE TO THE FAILURE, THE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THEY WOULD COVER A PORTION OF THE REPAIR COST. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 74,494. *TR

RADIATOR LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION. WE HAD TO REPLACE TRANSMISSION. NISSAN WOULD NOT STAND BEHIND ANYTHING SINCE IT HAPPENED AT 111K MILES RATHER THAN UNDER 100K. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, HE ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THERE WAS AN INCREASE IN ENGINE RPMS AND THE MAINTENANCE REQUIRED WARNING MESSAGE ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 106,000. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT RADIATOR FLUID HAD LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION. SHE WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT THE RADIATOR AND THE TRANSMISSION WOULD BOTH NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 123,000.

MY VEHICLE HAS DEVELOPED A VIBRATION WHILE I AM DRIVING WHICH HAS BEEN VERY UNCOMFORTABLE, HOWEVER, NOTHING MAJOR IN THE PERFORMANCE OF THE VEHICLE, HOWEVER, NOW MY VEHICLE HAS DECIDED TO RANDOMLY TURN OFF WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I TOOK IT TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THAT THEY FOUND TRANS FLUID MIXING WITH COOLANT DUE TO LEAKING TRANS COOLER IN RADIATOR AND THE TOTAL COST WOULD COME OUT TO $5,000. I AM UNABLE TO AFFORD THIS BILL SO I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE. *TR

I WAS IN THE TURNING LANE, NEEDING TO CROSS THE INTERSECTION, LIGHT TURNED GOT A FLASHING YELLOW LIGHT , PRESSED GAS AND HEARD A BIG BANG, THEN THE TRUCK WAS JUST STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LANES WITH CARS APPROACHING. LUCKILY THE APPROACHING DRIVERS WERE AWARE OF MY PRESENCE AND NO VEHICLES HIT US. WHEN IT WAS OK TO MOVE THE TRUCK, MYSELF AND 2 OTHER DRIVERS HELPED PUSH IT CLEAR. AFTER EXAMINING THE VEHICLE I NOTICED MUSTARD YELLOW SUBSTANCE IN THE RADIATOR OVERFILL AND ONE OF THE GUYS THAT HELP PUSH LOOKED AT THE TRANSMISSION FLUID TO FIND A STRAWBERRY MILKSHAKE COLOR FLUID IN THERE. AFTER BEING EXAMINED BY A MECHANIC IT WAS DETERMINED THE RADIATOR WAS LEAKING FLUID INTO THE TRANSMISSION. THE NISSAN DEALER SAID THE TRUCK DOESN'T FALL INTO ANY WARRANTY, SO IT WILL COST ME 7000 TO FIX.SO NEEDLESS TO SAY THIS SITUATION COULD HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO ME, MY FAMILY AND TO THE OTHER DRIVERS IF THEY HADN'T BEEN PAYING ATTENTION. IT'S SAD TO SAY THAT NISSAN IS LETTING THIS HAPPEN TO ITS DRIVERS, OVER A 100 DOLLAR RADIATOR COSTING US THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO FIX AND HOW LONG BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. *TR

MY VEHICLE BEGAN JOLTING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS DUE TO THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPING GEARS. I HAD FEARS THAT MY TRUCKS GEAR WOULD LOCK UP ON THE HWY SO I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP. THIS OCCURS NEARLY EVERY TIME I TAKE THE VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY. JUST FOUND OUT FROM MY MECHANIC THAT IT IS COMMON IN THESE TRUCKS TO HAVE COOLANT LEAK INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND DESTROY IT. APPEARS TO BE THE ISSUE WITH MY TRUCK. *TR

AT ABOUT 85,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK, WHILE CRUISING AT AROUND 40 MPH THE GEARS DROPPED AND STUTTERED. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY DOCUMENTED MY CONCERN AND THE INCIDENT. THEY DID A DIAGNOSTIC AND ONLY CAME UP WITH A FUEL GAUGE MALFUNCTION AND REPLACE IT FOR $475. AT 90,000 MILES I DESCRIBED THE SAME CONCERN, WHICH THEY DOCUMENTED, AT A LOWER MPH AND THEY FLUSHED/REPLACED TRANS AND RADIATOR FLUID AND REPLACED THE RADIATOR ITSELF FOR $1600. I AM NOW BEING TOLD THAT THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED FOR APPROXIMATELY $6000. NISSAN HAS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS, IT STANDS TO REASON THAT THE CAUSE OF THE TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTION IS DUE TO COOLANT GETTING INTO A LUBRICANT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH WHEN THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO SLIP GEARS WITH HESITATION. THE FAILURE RECURRED WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS IN OPERATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSIS, IN WHICH BOTH ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT. UPDATED 04/24/13 *BF THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THE RADIATOR WAS THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION. UPDATED 06/13/13

WHILE TRAVELING ON THE #1 LANE AT APPROXIMATELY 70MPH ON THE 60 EAST FREEWAY CLOSE TO THE INTERSECTION OF THE 57 NORTH FREEWAY CONNECTOR, I LOST FULL POWER AND WAS FORCED TO MAKE AN EMERGENCY EXIT NARROWLY MISSING SEVERAL TRUCKS AND CARS IN THE PROCESS. AFTER LIMPING HOME AND LETTING THE VEHICLE SIT FOR A FEW DAYS, I TOOK THE TRUCK TO PUENTE HILLS NISSAN COMPLAINING THAT I LOSE POWER ONCE THE TRANSMISSION COMES TO TEMPERATURE AND THAT I NEEDED THEM TO ASSES THE DAMAGE AT A COST TO ME OF $130. THEIR EVALUATION EVENTUALLY CONCLUDED THAT THE RADIATOR HAD RUPTURED CAUSING COOLANT TO LEAK INTO THE TRANSMISSION THEREBY DAMAGING IT BEYOND REPAIR. THEY QUOTED ME APPROXIMATELY $4,500 FOR THE REPAIR WHICH MAINLY INCLUDED LABOR, TAX, A REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION, A NEW RADIATOR, AND ALL NECESSARY HOSES AND PARTS. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE BUT APPROXIMATELY 1.5 MILES FROM MY HOME, I LOST POWER ONCE AGAIN AND WAS FORCED TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED THE REST OF THE WAY. THE VEHICLE IS NO LONGER SAFE TO DRIVE AT ALL AT THIS POINT. *TR

AFTER FILLING TRUCK UP WITH GAS THE FUEL GAUGE DID NOT REGISTER FULL. AFTER DRIVING A FEW MILES DOWN THE ROAD THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE GAS GAUGE WENT TO EMPTY. MECHANIC CHECKED THE THE CHECK ENGINE CODE, WHICH WAS A FUEL SENSOR ERROR. THE MECHANIC RESET THE CHECK ENGINE. AFTER SEVERAL MILES THE GAS GAUGE STARTED WORKING AGAIN. IT HAS BEEN THIS WAY FOR SIX MONTHS NOW. EVERY TIME I FILL MY TRUCK UP WITH GAS IT DOES NOT REGISTER FULL. A FEW MILES LATER THE GAS GAUGE GOES TO EMPTY AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. AFTER SEVERAL MILES (VARIES FROM APPROXIMATELY 20 TO 100 MILES) THE FUEL GAUGE STARTS WORKING AGAIN. SOMETIMES IT NOT A MATTER OF MILES BUT TIME. FILL MY TRUCK UP, GAS GAUGE GOES TO EMPTY, PARK MY TRUCK AT THE AIRPORT FOR A FEW DAYS AND WHEN I GET BACK THE FUEL GAUGE WORKS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST ACCELERATION POWER. THE CONTACT HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A MECHANIC AND WAS INFORMED THAT RADIATOR COOLANT LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND CAUSED THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 101,500. MAH

WHILE TRAVELING IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC MY 2005 NISSAN FRONTIER STARTED TO LOSS POWER AND I WAS ALMOST HIT BY 3 OTHER VEHICLES WHEN THE TRUCK STOPPED MOVING IN THE TRAFFIC. I HAD IT TOWED TO RELIABLE MECHANIC AND WAS NOTIFIED BY HIM THAT THERE WAS RADIATOR FLUID IN THE TRANSMISSION AND THAT THIS HAS BECOME A GROWING ISSUES WITH NISSAN BETWEEN 2005-2010 MODEL PATHFINDERS, XTERRAS,AND FRONTIERS. THIS IS THE THIRD NISSAN FRONTIER I HAVE OWNED AND I SING THE PRAISES OF NISSAN TO EVERYONE I KNOW, I AM SHOCKED TO SEE HOW MANY COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN FILED AND STILL NISSAN ACTS IRRESPONSIBLE AND REFUSES TO RECALL THIS ISSUE IT IS A $3800 REPAIR AND NISSAN KNOWS IT IS RAMPANT IN THESE MODELS. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN NISSAN THIS IS NO WAY TO TREAT THEIR LOYAL FOLLOWING MAKES MORE SENSE PUTTING THE $3800 TOWARDS A NEW TOYOTA PICKUP. *TR

WHILE JUST MERGING ONTO THE BROOKLYN QUEENS EXPRESSWAY IN BROOKLYN AT APROX 50 MPH WITH NO PREVIOUS WARNING SIGNS TO ANY VEHICLE PROBLEM THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT OF GEAR ALMOST CAUSING A REAR END COLLISION. HAD TO PUT HAZARDS ON AND COAST ACROSS 3 LANES SINCE IT WAS A LEFT LANE MERGE. VEHICLE SLOWED TO APROX 20 MPH WHEN TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO CATCH AGAIN AND WAS ABLE TO EXIT BQE TO A SAFE LOCATION. BROUGHT TO DEALERSHIP AND WAS DIAGNOSED WITH ANTI FREEZE MIXING WITH TRANSMISSION FLUID WHICH IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM NOW WITH NISSAN. IT COULD OF ALL BEEN AVOIDED IF RADIATOR WAS RECALLED BY NISSAN PRIOR. *TR

MY 2005 NISSAN FRONTIER HAS HAD THE TRANSMISSION/RADIATOR PROBLEMS THAT ARE NUMEROUSLY EVIDENT FROM DOING MY RESEARCH. IT IS IN THE SHOP AT THE PRESENT TIME. THE MINIMUM REPAIR COST AT THIS TIME IS $3000.00. IF CERTAIN OTHER PARTS ARE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED IT COULD BE QUITE A BIT HIGHER. *TR

WHEN I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND AT ABOUT 45 TO 50 MPH, MY TRANSMISSION WENT OUT LEAVING THE TRUCK POWERLESS AND NOT BEING ABLE TO MAKE IT TO A SAFE PLACE TO PULL OVER! I WAS STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, WHICH WAS A DEATH TRAP NOT ONLY FOR MYSELF BUT FOR MY WIFE OR DAUGHTER AS WELL. I BEGAN CHECKING THE FLUIDS AND I DISCOVERED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS A BURNT BROWN STRAWBERRY MILK SHAKE COLOR. I WAS VERY CONFUSED ABOUT THE COLOR OF MY TRANSMISSION FLUID SO I HOPPED ON GOOGLE TO RESEARCH PROBLEMS WITH FRONTIERS TRANSMISSION. I FOUND LIST OF COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME ISSUE I HAD JUST EXPERIENCED. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE DEALERSHIP IN GAINESVILLE GA. I ASKED THE TECH IF THE TRUCK HAD ANY RECALLS. THE TECH STATED THAT THERE WHERE 2 RECALLS. I ASKED HIM IF THERE WAS ANY KNOWN PROBLEMS WITH THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION, AND OF COURSE NO WAS THE RESPONSE. I INQUIRED ABOUT THE ISSUES I DISCOVERED. THE TECH THEN REPLIED "WELL NISSAN DID EXTEND THERE WARRANTY ON THAT PROBLEM". HE TOLD ME TO CALL NISSAN N. AMERICA. THE NISSAN REPRESENTATIVE ASKED ALL THE QUESTIONS THE DEALERSHIP DID AND ASKED ABOUT THE MILES. I REPLIED 101570. THE REP. STATED HE WAS SORRY I WAS OUT OF ALL EXTENDED WARRANTY PLANS. I ASKED HIM JUST BECAUSE I AM 1500 MILES OVER YOU GUYS CANT HELP ME? THE REPRESENTATIVE REPLIED THAT IT WAS OUT OF THEIR EXTENDED WARRANTY WINDOW, SO HE WAS SORRY THEY CAN NOT ASSIST ME. THEN HE GAVE ME A NUMBER TO THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION HOT LINE. I REPLIED TO HIM BY STATING,

TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR/COOLING SYSTEM TO BE REPLACED DUE TO CONTAMINATION OF TRANSMISSION BY RADIATOR FLUID. ROUTINE MAINTENANCE PERFORMED REGULARLY. AT 98,000 MILES BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE SPORADIC VIBRATION WHEN DRIVING, WAS DIAGNOSED WITH ABOVE STATE ISSUE. I USE THE TRUCK TO COMMUTE WITH MY CHILDREN EVERYDAY ON THE INTERSTATE, WHILE I AM THANKFUL THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAS NOT STOPPED FUNCTIONING, IT HAS PUT US AT GREATER RISK THAN USUAL WITH A COMPROMISED TRANSMISSION. TO HAVE BOTH SYSTEMS REPLACED, I HAVE BEEN GIVEN "AN OPPORTUNITY" TO PROVIDE A "CO-PAY" OF $3000.00. I PAID NISSAN ONCE FOR A FUNCTIONAL AND RELIABLE TRANSMISSION AND COOLING SYSTEM, I RESENT HAVING TO PAY AN ADDITIONAL $3000.00 FOR A DESIGN FLAW MADE BY NISSAN. AS A CONSUMER, $3000.00 IS THE TYPE OF MONEY USED AS A DOWN PAYMENT FOR A NEW CAR, NOT WHAT I EXPECT TO PAY AS "ROUTINE MAINTENANCE" ON A VEHICLE WITH LESS THAN 100,000 MILES ON IT. MY PAYMENT WOULD HAVE BEEN LOWER IF MILEAGE WERE LOWER. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE CORROSION HAPPENS OVER TIME, I'M NOT SURE HOW MUCH TIME IT TAKES, BUT I FEEL CERTAIN IT WAS THOUSANDS OF MILES AGO. IF I HAD BEEN MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE EARLIER, I COULD HAVE ADDRESSED IT, POSSIBLY WITH LESS DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE, LESS SAFETY/RISK TO MY FAMILY, AND CERTAINLY AT LESS COST REGARDING THE "COPAY" FOR ME AS THE COPAY IS BASED ON MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE. THE HEATER HAS NEVER BLOWN WARM AIR WHEN IDLING, WHICH IS ONE OF THE FEW EARLY SIGNS OF THIS ISSUE FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND.

DISCOVERY OF AN APPARENTLY KNOWN ISSUE OF FAILED RADIATOR IN THIS VEHICLE THAT CONTAMINATES THE COOLANT AND TRANSMISSION FLUID RESULTING IN FAILED TRANSMISSION REQUIRING REPLACEMENT OF IT AS WELL AS THE RADIATORS. SURPRISED AND EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED TO FIND THIS ISSUE HAPPENING TO MY VEHICLE WHICH I PURCHASED NEW FROM THIS DEALER AND LOYALLY HAD THE VEHICLE SERVICED AND MAINTAINED AT THE SAME PLACE OF PURCHASE. THIS APPARENTLY IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND YET MY VEHICLE WAS NEVER CHECKED FOR THIS PROBLEM AT ANY OF MY MAINTENANCE INTERVALS BY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THE INITIAL REVEALING OF THE PROBLEM WAS PRESENTED TO ME AT FULL PRICE OF THE REPAIR. AFTER EXPRESSING MY DISAPPOINTMENT IN THE FINDINGS AND THE QUALITY OF THE VEHICLE TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT I RECEIVED A CALL BACK STATING THAT I COULD CALL THE CUSTOMER CARE AND HAVE THE REPAIR PERFORMED WITH A CO-PAY OF $3000 OF THE $6400 QUOTED REPAIR. STILL UNHAPPY ABOUT WHAT I WAS FACING FOR A VEHICLE THAT HAD NOT YET REACHED 100K MILES, I WAS LEFT WITH NO OPTION BUT TO CALL AND GO WITH THE OFFER OF PARTIAL PAYMENT. THIS IS THE SECOND MAJOR REPAIR I HAVE HAD TO HAVE, FIRST BEING REPLACEMENT OF TIMING CHAIN AT APPROXIMATELY 80K MILES AT A COST OF $1500. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER REFUELING, THE FUEL LEVEL INDICATOR PROVIDED AN INACCURATE READING OF EMPTY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 57,000.

COOLANT LEAKED INTO TRANSMISSION FLUID AND DESTROYED TRANSMISSION. *TR

I PURCHASED MY 2005 NISSAN FRONTIER AT APPROX. 95K IN FEBRUARY. THE TEST DRIVES WERE FINE, THE CAR SOUNDED AND DROVE PERFECTLY FINE FOR A FEW MONTHS. IT RECENTLY BEGAN TO START SHIFTING ROUGHLY . THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM DID SOMETHING TO COVER UP THE ISSUE WHICH WAS OBVIOUSLY WHY THEY WERE TRYING TO SELL IT BEFORE 100K AND I GOT BURNED ON IT. I PURCHASED THE TRUCK FROM MARIETTA, GA AT TEAM NISSAN. I DIDN'T GET IT CHECKED UNTIL NOW, BUT HAVE SINCE DISCOVERED THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF A RECALL RELATED TO RADIATOR ANTIFREEZE LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND CAUSING FAILURE OF BOTH. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND IT REALLY DOES BAFFLE ME THAT A WHOLE GENERATION OF NISSAN VEHICLES FROM 2005-2010 HAVE THIS ISSUE AND THAT IT COULD CAUSED SOME ACCIDENTS DUE TO HIGH SPEED TRANSMISSION FAILURE. I SEE THIS AS BEING A SAFETY ISSUE ON THE SAME SCALE AS THE TOYOTA ISSUES OF A FEW YEARS BACK. TO HAVE THIS BE A LIMITED WARRANTY RECALL IS DISGRACEFUL. YOU CAN BELIEVE NISSAN KNOWS EXACTLY WHEN THESE INCIDENTS ARE LIKELY TO OCCUR SO THEY EXTENDED THEIR COVERAGE UP TO THAT POINT AND THEY FAIL THEREAFTER. NOT TO MENTION THAT THE CURRENT RECALL DOES NOT SEEM TO INCLUDE ISSUES IT CAUSES TO THE TRANSMISSION. MY TRUCK AS YOU CAN SEE IS OUT OF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THE RADIATOR AND WAS WHEN I PURCHASED IT. *TR

SUDDENLY MY TRUCK APPEARED TO HAVE NO POWER; COULD NOT ACCELERATE UP TO TRAFFIC SPEED OR EFFECTIVELY GET ACROSS AN INTERSECTION. IT WAS SCARY AND DANGEROUS AS THIS COULD HAVE EASILY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT CAME ON AND I PROMPTLY TOOK MY 2005 NISSAN FRONTIER NISMO V6 TO MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER FOR SERVICE. I HAD JUST HAD THE FULL 90K MILE SERVICE WITH RADIATOR FLUSH AND NO ISSUES WHERE REPORTED TO ME. SO I WAS SHOCKED WHEN THEY TOLD ME THAT IT NEEDED TO HAVE BOTH THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION REPLACED DUE TO "FLUIDS MIXING". ANTIFREEZE AND WATER FROM THE RADIATOR HAD LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND DESTROYED IT. AND I WAS FURTHER SHOCKED AND ANGRY THAT IT WOULD COST ME $3K EVEN AFTER NISSAN'S "EXTENDED WARRANTY". (I DON'T HAVE THIS KIND OF MONEY LYING AROUND TO DUMP INTO MY 7+ YEAR OLD TRUCK, THAT I HAD BOUGHT NEW IN '05.) THIS IS A CATASTROPHIC DEFECT IN THE DESIGN - KNOWN BY THE MANUFACTURER AND SHOULD BE MADE RIGHT BY THE MANUFACTURER. I'VE FOUND THAT THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE ACROSS THE INTERNET FOR OTHER 2005-2010 FRONTIERS, PATHFINDERS AND XTERRAS. NISSAN NEEDS TO DO THEIR CONSUMERS RIGHT, OR RISK LOOSING LOYALTY. UP UNTIL NOW, I'VE BEEN REALLY HAPPY WITH MY TRUCK, MY SERVICE DEALER AND NISSAN, BUT NOW I'LL BE LOOKING AT OTHER BRANDS THAT BACK THEIR PRODUCTS AND CONSUMERS BETTER. *TR

MY 2005 NISSAN FRONTIER BEGAN SHIFTING HARD NOTICEABLY. I TOOK IT TO A TRUSTED MECHANIC TO EVALUATE THE CAUSE AND LEARNED THAT THERE IS CONTAMINATION IN THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. COOLANT FROM THE RADIATOR HAS LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION BODY, RESULTING IN CONTAMINATION AND CORROSION. AT THIS TIME THE TRANSMISSION STILL FUNCTIONS, BUT WILL NOT CONTINUE TO DO SO FOR LONG. THIS ISSUE REQUIRES THE REPLACEMENT OF BOTH THE RADIATOR AND THE TRANSMISSION WITH AN ESTIMATED COST OF $3,800. *TR

NISSAN HAS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION. THE DATE LISTED IS MERELY THE DATE WE DISCOVERED THE ISSUE. BEFORE JAN 31, 2012 WE KNEW NOTHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. YOU DON'T KNOW IF THIS HAS HAPPENED TO YOUR TRUCK UNTIL IT OVERHEATS AND YOU FIND OUT THE FLUIDS HAVE MIXED. REPLACE THE RADIATOR. FLUSH THE FLUIDS (3 OR MORE TIMES, SINCE THE FLUID IS NOW LIKE PURPLE SOFT SERVE ICE CREAM). THEN THE REAL TROUBLES BEGIN.. IT SLIPS OUT OF GEAR WHILE DRIVING AT 70 MPH AND THE ONLY OPTION IS TO PULL OVER, TURN THE TRUCK OFF, REMOVE THE KEY, THEN RESTART THE TRUCK AND HOPE IT WORKS. THIS IS REALLY DANGEROUS ON THE HIGHWAY AT THE HIGHER SPEEDS BUT ALSO UNSAFE ON THE SIDE ROADS OR IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. I TAKE MY KIDS TO SCHOOL 3.6 MILES EACH WAY. I HAVE TO STOP AND RESTART THE TRUCK AT LEAST 3 TIMES DURING THE ROUND TRIP. SPEED DOESN'T MATTER. YOU STOP AT A RED LIGHT AND HAVE KNOW IDEA IF IT IS GOING TO GO WHEN YOU PUSH THE GAS OR NOT. PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS SINCE YOU HAVE TO GO AND YOU FIND OUT YOU CAN'T. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL "WARRANTY EXTENTIONS" ISSUED BY NISSAN ON OUR TRUCK THAT WE WERE NOT AWARE OF UNTIL AFTER MAKING THE REPAIRS ON OUR OWN DIME. THERE IS A "WARRANY EXTENTION" FOR THIS ISSUE DUE TO A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT BUT IT DOES NOTHING FOR A LOT OF THE OWNERS SINCE MANY ARE OVER THE "EXTENTION MILEAGE". I TRY TO NEVER DRIVE THE TRUCK ON BUSY ROADS WITHOUT SHOULDERS OR TURN LANES, I FEAR RED LIGHTS AND TRAFFIC BUT S

MY 2005 NISSAN FRONTIER WITH A 140,000 ON IT'S BEEN A GOOD TRUCK UP TILL KNOW. SO IT JUST SITS IN THE YARD COLLECTING DUST.GOING TO COST ABOUT $6000 TO FIX. THIS IS SOMETHING THEY SHOULD FIX,FOR THEY KNEW THEY GOT PROBLEMS WITH THESE RADIATOR IN THESE TRUCKS AND SUV.AND THE TRANSMISSION TOO HELP PLEASE NOW I AM LAID OFF SO I DO NOT HAVE WORK OR MONEY TO FIX THIS TRUCK SO NISSAN HAS TO FIXED FOR FREE HELP ALL THOSE WHO PASS THE 80,000 MILES AND I STILL NEED TO MAKE 7 MORE PAYMENTS ON IT. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT A SPEED OF 60-65 ON THE HIGHWAY MY 2005 NISSAN FRONTIER FEELS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS OUT OF GEAR AND STARTS TO GRIND. THIS OCCURS ONLY UNDER ACCELERATION AND I DO NOT MEAN HARD ACCELERATION. I AM SIMPLY AT A CRUISING SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY AND TRYING TO SIMPLY MAINTAIN A SPEED AND THE NOISE OCCURS DAILY. I AM NOT POSITIVE THAT THE NOISE IS COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION BECAUSE I AM NO MECHANIC, BUT THE SOUND IS A GRINDING SOUND WHICH MEANS IT IS A GEAR GRINDING SOMEWHERE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A NISSAN DEALER THREE TIMES AND ALL I WAS TOLD IS THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS OKAY. I DO NOT HAVE A SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT ON SO MAYBE THAT IS THE REASON, BUT I WAS ABLE TO SHOW THE DEALER THE NOISE AND STILL NO HELP. ALL I WANTED WHEN I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK IS A RELIABLE CAR AND I DO NOT HAVE ONE. NISSAN SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR PUTTING OUT A SUBPAR PRODUCT. I KNOW BASED ON THE ONLINE FORUMS THAT I AM NOT ALONE IN THESE ISSUES WITH THE TRUCK. *TR

TRANSMISSION STUCK IN HIGH AND SLIPPING. I CHECKED THE DIPSTICK AND FOUND THAT FLUID WAS GRAY AND WATERY. WITH METAL SHAVINGS ON THE END OF THE DIPSTICK.. *TR

MY TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY A DEALER I HAVE RADIATOR FLUID IN MY TRANSMISSION FLUID. APPARENTLY, THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH CERTAIN MODEL YEAR NISSAN VEHICLES, DUE TO A BREAK IN A TRANSMISSION LINE THAT RUNS THROUGH THE RADIATOR. PLEASE FORCE NISSAN TO RECALL AND REPAIR THIS ISSUE!!! *TR

FUEL SENSOR WILL SHOW 1/4 TANK OF GASOLINE AND LOW FUEL LIGHT WILL COME ON AND GAUGE WILL SHOW EMPTY SHORTLY AFTER. *TR

I TOOK MY FRONTIER TRUCK IN FOR A 120000 MILE SCHEDULE MAINTENANCE CHECK AND OIL CHANGE. THE DEAL TOLD ME THAT THE RADIATOR COOLANT AND TRANSMISSION FLUID HAD MIXED TOGETHER DUE TO A PROBLEM WITH THE RADIATOR. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD FLUSH THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION AND TRY TO CLEAN OUT MOST OF THE MIXED FLUID. I WAS INFORMED THAT I NEED TO REPLACE THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION MIGHT HAVE TO BE ALSO REPLACED. THE COST FOR THE REPLACEMENT WOULD BE AROUND $8400. I BEGAN TO DO SOME RESEARCH INTO THE PROBLEM AND FOUND OUT THAT NISSAN KNOW THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE RADIATOR AND THAT THE FLUID COULD LEAK INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND DAMAGE THE TRANSMISSION. I SAW THAT NISSAN WOULD EXTEND THE WARRANT TO COVER THE COST IF YOU HAD LESS THAT 8 YEARS AND 80000 MILES. THIS WARRANT WOULD NOW HELP ME, DUE TOT THE FACT I HAVE ALMOST 119000 MILES ON MY TRUCK. I THINK IF NISSAN KNEW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM THEY WOULD HAVE A RECALL ON ALL FRONTIERS, PATHFINDERS AND XTERRAS FROM 2005-2010 AND PAY FOR THEM TO BE FIXED . IT WILL COST ME OVER $6000 TO HAVE A NEW TRANSMISSION PUT INTO MY FRONTIER TRUCK. MY TRUCK IS A 2005 FRONTIER LE. I AM HAVING THE RADIATOR ASSY REPLACED ($991.84) OIL COOLER ASSY REPLACED ($498.49) TRANSMISSION AND COOLING SYSTEM FLUSHED ($421.52). THE 120000 MILE SERVICE A/T WILL COST ME $400. I AM GOING TO SEARCH AROUND TO SEE HOW MUCH A NEW TRANSMISSION FOR MY TRUCK WOULD COST. THE DEALER SAID THE COST FOR REPLACING MY TRANSMISSION WOULD BE $6155.14. THEY WOULD SELL ME T
