2005 Nissan Frontier complaints

IN THE MONTH OF SEPTEMBER, 2012 I NOTICED MY 2005 NISSAN FRONTIER STARTED STALLING OUT AT INTERSECTIONS AND RED LIGHTS. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO, I HAD TO REALLY PRESS DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR TO GET IT GOING. SO THIS CONTINUED FOR ABOUT A WEEK, THEN I BEGAN TO HEAR A THUMPING SOUND COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION SO I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL MAINTENANCE SHOP AND THEY RAN A TEST ON IT AND THEY SAID THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS BAD. THEN I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER SHOP THIS WAS A RECOMMENDED TRANSMISSION SHOP AND THEY RAN TEST ON IT AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT'S WAS WRONG WITH IT. THEY RECOMMENDED THAT I TAKE IT TO AN ELECTRICAL SHOP SO I DID. THE ELECTRICAL SHOP TOLD ME THAT THE COMPUTER INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION WAS NOT WORKING. I THEN TOOK IT TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND HAD THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT CHECK IT OUT, THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAD RADIATOR COOLANT IN IT AND THAT IT ALONG WITH THE RADIATOR HAD TO BE REPLACE. THE TOTAL COST WOULD BE $4800. I WAS DEVASTATED AND CALL NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS OFFICE AND REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO THEM. THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD LOOK INTO AND GET BACK WITH ME. TWO DAYS LATER THEY CALLED ME BACK AND INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO BECAUSE THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IT COULD CAUSE IN ACCIDENT IF THE VEHICLE STALLS OUT IN TRAFFIC. *TR

SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON AND THE FUEL GAUGE STARTED GOING WACKY AND ULTIMATELY SHOWED EMPTY EVENTHOUGH I HAD 1/2 TANK OF GAS. LIGHT WOULD NOT GO OUT, SO I RESEARCHED THE ISSUE ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE ON MY NISSAN TRUCK. THERE IS EVEN A SERVICE BULLETIN OUT ON IT. SO, OFF I WENT AND TOOK IT INTO MY NISSAN SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND THEY SAID THE CODE P0463 WAS A FUEL SENSING UNIT THAT THEY WOULD REPAIR FOR OVER $350. I SEE THIS AS A SAFETY ISSUE, SINCE MY WIFE DRIVES THE TRUCK AND IF SHE IS UNABLE TO CORRECTLY DETERMINE HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN THE TRUCK SHE RUNS THE RISK OF RUNNING OUT OF GAS IN TRAFFIC OR MAYBE EVEN IN AN UNSAFE NEIGHBORHOOD. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY FRONTIER, THE TRANSMISSION STARTING MAKING NOISE. IT STARTED SLIPPING WHEN I WAS TAKING OFF, AFTER HAVING STOPPED FOR A RED LIGHT. THEN THE SERVICE LIGHT AND INDICATOR LIGHTS CAME ON. I COULD TELL THAT 2ND GEAR WAS GONE. THE TRUCK WAS TOWED TO A CERTIFIED NISSAN DEALER. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE TRUCK WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND GAVE ME A $5190 ESTIMATE. THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE THE $300 FOR THE RENTAL I HAVE HAD TO GET FOR THIS FIRST WEEK, OR THE $101 FOR THE TOWING AND DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. I HAVE SINCE DISCOVERED THAT THE COOLANT WAS LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND HAS CAUSED IT TO FAIL. I HAVE ALSO LEARNED THAT HUNDREDS, IF NOT THOUSANDS, HAVE REGISTERED COMPLAINTS THAT THIS WAS DUE TO A RADIATOR FAILURE THAT WAS KNOWN BY NISSAN. I DID NOT RECEIVE A RECALL NOTICE OR ANY OTHER NOTIFICATION CONCERNING THIS PROBLEM. I CALLED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND RECEIVED A CASE NUMBER. AFTER 24 HRS. THEY CALLED TO TELL ME THAT THEY HAD EXTENDED THE WARRANTIES ON THE RADIATORS UP TO 8 YRS. AND 80,000 MILES, BUT THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO HELP ME WITH MY CASE. I HAVE SINCE FOUND OUT ONLINE THAT NISSAN DID NOT ISSUE RECALLS ON THIS. MY TRUCK HAD BEEN PROPERLY SERVICED AT MY NISSAN DEALERSHIP, AND BOTH THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION WAS FLUSHED AT 30,000 AND 60,000 MILES. THE POWER-STEERING WAS ALSO FLUSHED AT 60,000 MILES. I BELIEVE MY DEALERSHIP SHOULD HAVE MADE ME AWARE OF THE PROBLEM WHEN MY TRUCK WAS IN FOR SERVICING, AND THEN I COULD HAVE HAD THE RADIATOR TAKE

HAD TO REPLACE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION. FLUIDS LEAKED BETWEEN THE TWO. *TR

BROUGHT VEHICLE IN TO MECHANIC BECAUSE OF ROUGH SOUND HAPPENING OCCASIONALLY. IT TURNS OUT IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION, AND THAT RADIATOR FLUID LEAKED INTO TRANSMISSION WHICH HAS CAUSED TRANSMISSION ISSUES. COST TO REPAIR WILL BE APPROXIMATELY $4,000. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN TO A VEHICLE WITH 66,000 MILES. *TR

STOPPED ON HILL BEHIND ANOTHER VEHICLE, THEY TOOK OFF, I TRIED TO PULL UP TO STOP SIGN BUT HAD NO FORWARD MOVEMENT. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME SO I BACKED DOWN TO A DRIVEWAY TO GET OUT OF THE ROAD. I HAD REVERSE AT THIS TIME. AFTER TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT HAPPENED, I PUT TRUCK INTO GEAR AND DROVE THE FIVE MILES TO WORK. SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON. LEFT WORK AND HAD NO PROBLEMS UNTIL MY DRIVEWAY, STEEP INCLINE AND AGAIN NO FORWARD MOVEMENT. NO REVERSE THIS TIME. HAD IT TOWED TO TRANSMISSION SHOP AND THEY HAVE DIAGNOSED THAT THE RADIATOR FLUID WAS LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION. SURPRISE! I DID NOT RECEIVE A LETTER FROM NISSAN LAST YEAR. THEY SHOULD RECALL AND PAY FOR ALL THE CHARGES. THEY KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM AND DON'T WANT TO OWN UP TO THEIR FAILURE TO PROVIDE A SAFE VEHICLE. HOPE THE NHTSA LOOKS INTO THE PROBLEMS WITH THE NISSAN VEHICLES. I WAS HAPPY I WASN'T ON AN INTER-STATE. NO INDICATION OF A PROBLEM UNTIL I HAD NO FORWARD MOVEMENT! VERY DANGEROUS FOR EVERYONE ON THE ROAD! *TR

WAS TRAVELING AT 55MPH IN MY 2005 NISSAN FRONTIER WHEN IT WAS AS IF THE TRANSMISSION WAS PUT IN NEUTRAL. HAD TO STOP IN THE HIGHWAY, NOWHERE TO PULL OFF. AS LUCK WOULD HAVE IT WAS NEAR MY DESTINATION AND MANAGED TO GET THERE GOING ABOUT 10 TO 15MPH. IT WAS AT NIGHT SO LUCKILY NOT MUCH TRAFFIC WHEN IT OCCURRED. TOWED TO DEALERSHIP NEXT DAY AND WAS TOLD THE RADIATOR FAILED AND COOLANT WAS ALLOWED TO ENTER TRANSMISSION THUS ALSO CAUSING TRANSMISSION FAILURE. VEHICLE HAD EXCEEDED THE 80,000 MILE WARRANTY BUT ALSO FOUND OUT THAT WARRANTY HAD BEEN EXTENDED FROM THE ORIGINAL 36,000 MILE WARRANTY BECAUSE OF PROBLEMS. ONLY THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION WERE ISSUED THE 80,000 EXTENDED WARRANTY, BUT MY VEHICLE HAD 95,994 MILES THUS NO WARRANTY COVERAGE, AND REPAIR COST WOULD RUN $6,900.00. CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS BUT WAS DENIED REIMBURSEMENT. ALTHOUGH DEALERSHIP WORKED WITH ME AND GOT THE PRICE DOWN TO $4,800.00 THIS IS A MAJOR EXPENSE TO ME ON A VEHICLE THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN TAKEN CARE OF BY THE NISSAN CORP., DUE TO THE LARGE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS EXACT PROBLEM ON VEHICLES WITH MORE THAN 80,000 MILES. HAVE YET TO FIND ANY CONSUMER THAT HAS BEEN COMPENSATED FOR THIS PROBLEM. *TR

THE PROBLEM BEGAN WITH A GROWLING NOISE ACCOMPANIED BY A SHUDDERING SENSATION. I HAD THE PROBLEM DIAGNOSED AT THE DEALERSHIP AS TRANSMISSION FLUID CONTAMINATION. THEY ADVISED ME TO TAKE THE VEHICLE OUT OF SERVICE FOR REPAIRS AT AN ESTIMATED COST OF $6500. I COULD NOT AFFORD THIS SO I HAD MY LOCAL ASME CERTIFIED MECHANIC REPLACE THE RADIATOR AND POWER FLUSH THE TRANSMISSION AT A COST OF $900. THE PROBLEM PERSISTS AND I EXPECT A CATASTROPHIC TRANSMISSION FAILURE AT ANY TIME. *TR

THIS PROBLEM IS IN THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. DUE TO NISSAN PRODUCING A FAULTY AND VERY POORLY ENGINEERED COOLING SYSTEM FOR THE 2005 NISSAN FRONTIER, PATHFINDER, AND XTERRA AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS THEY EVENTUALLY GET CONTAMINATED WITH RADIATOR COOLANT AND MAKES THE TRANSMISSION SLIP AND CLUNK DURING SHIFTING. MINE SLIPS FROM 2ND INTO THIRD AND WHEN I ACCELERATE IN ANY GEAR. THERE IS NO POWER UNLESS I BABY IT ALONG. THIS HAS BEEN HAZARDOUS TWICE NOW WHEN ENTERING THE FREEWAY AND CHANGING LANES. A SEMI-TRUCK WAS IN THE LANE I NEEDED TO GET INTO AND I COULD NOT ACCELERATE ENOUGH TO MERGE PROPERLY. NISSAN REFUSES TO ADMIT THE PROBLEM IS THEIRS EVEN THOUGH THE CONSUMER COMPLAINTS ARE NUMEROUS. IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY AWARE OF THIS JUST GO ONLINE AND YOU WILL FIND HORROR STORIES FROM PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN FRONTIER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH UP AN INCLINE, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED TO DOWN SHIFT. THERE WERE NO PRIOR WARNINGS. THE FAILURE ONLY OCCURRED WHEN DRIVING UP AN INCLINE. THE CONTACT REPLACED THE RADIATOR AND THERE WAS NO LONGER A MALFUNCTION WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 145,000.

TRANSMISSION COOLER FAILING AND CONTAMINATING THE TRANSMISSION, REPAIRED TRANSMISSION COST WAS MORE THAT I CAN PAID, FIXED ANYWAY BUT STILL NOT 100% GOOD, HAVEN'T BOUGHT A NEW RADIATOR, DON'T WANT THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN. *TR I HOPE THIS WILL BE A RECALL SO I CAN HAVE MY TRANSMISSION REPAIR BY NISSAN AND A RADIATOR REPLACE.

TRANSMISSION OIL COOLING LINES INSIDE RADIATOR FAILED, CONTAMINATING THE TRANSMISSION, RADIATOR, AND ENGINE. TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR NEED REPLACED, ENGINE NEEDS FLUSHED, $6,000 ESTIMATE. NISSAN REFUSES TO HELP WITH PAYMENT EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE AWARE OF A RAMPANT PROBLEM. THEY INCREASED THE WARRANTY TO 80,000 MILES, BUT I HAVE 88,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. *TR

I WAS TRAVELING BACK FROM A TRIP IN MY 2005 NISSAN FRONTIER. COMING OVER A MOUNTIAN PASS I LET UP ON THE GAS TO COAST AND THE REAR END OF THE VEHICLE STARTING SHACKING SO BAD THAT I ALMOST DROVE OFF THE ROAD. I HAD TO DECREASE MY SPEED BECAUSE I COULD NOT TRAVEL THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT SAFETLY. I HAVE NOT DRIVEN THIS VEHICLE ON THE FREEWAY SINCE BECAUSE I AM CONCERNED FOR THE VEHICLE AND THAT IT COULD SEIZE UP AND CAUSE AND ACCIDENT. *TR

I NOTICE THERE WAS A MILKY SUBSTANCE IN THE RADIATOR OF MY TRUCK. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ON LINE IT LOOKS LIKE A LOT OF NISSAN FRONTIER OWNERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I CALLED TWO NISSAN DEALERS NEAR MY HOUSE (GARDEN GROVE AND COSTA MESA) AND THEY ARE WELL AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM. I ALSO CALLED ABOUT SEVEN INDEPENDENT TRANSMISSION REPAIR SHOPS AND MOST OF THEM ARE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM. NISSAN DEALERS SAY THEY WOULD CHARGE ME AROUND $7000 TO MAKE THE REPAIRS. THE INDEPENDENT SHOPS SAID THEY WOULD CHARGE ME ANYWHERE FROM $2000 TO $3500 TO REBUILT THE TRANSMISSION. I CANNOT AFFORD TO HAVE MY TRUCK FIXED AT THIS TIME AND AM LOOKING TO MAKE NISSAN USA RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS. I CALLED NISSAN AND THEY SAID I NEED TO HAVE THE TRUCK INSPECTED AT THE NISSAN DEALER AND THE CHANCES OF THEM TAKING LIABILITY FOR A FAULTY RADIATOR ARE SLIM. MY TRUCK HAS A LITTLE OVER 107,000 MILES ON IT WHICH IS OVER THE 80,000/8 YEAR WARRANTY. I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE OTHERS THAT ARE FACING THE SAME SITUATION AWARE OF NISSAN'S NEGLIGENCE. NISSAN AS LOST A CUSTOMER AND MANY OTHERS AS I AM WORKING HARD TO LET AS MANY PEOPLE AS I CAN AVOID MAKING A NISSAN PURCHASE. IF NISSAN DOES NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS I WILL BE LOOKING FOR OTHERS LIKE ME TO BOYCOTT NISSAN AUTOMOBILES! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD FAIL TO START. THE CONTACT BELIEVED THAT THE ITTM SENSOR HAD FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CURRENT AND THE FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 66,000.

I AM HAVING A FUEL SENDING UNIT PROBLEM. SAME PROBLEM NISSAN IS HAVING WITH OTHER NISSAN TRUCKS AND THEY HAVE RECALLED THE NEWER MODELS FOR REPLACE AT NO COST TO THE CUSTOMER. ON MY 2005 THEY OFFER NO HELP AT ALL. THEY KNOW SENDING UNIT IS DEFECTIVE. THIS PROBLEM OF MAYBE RUNNING OUT OF GAS AND BEING REAR ENDED I THINK IS A SAFETY CONCERN. NISSAN SHOULD REPAIR ALL TRUCKS THAT THEY HAVE DEFECTIVE PARTS IN. I HAVE HAD NO ACCIDENTS. *TR

NISSAN HAS A KNOW RADIATOR PROBLEM. INTERNAL LEAKAGE INTO THE TRANSMISSION COOLER. CAUSES CATASTROPHIC TRANSMISSION FAILURE. PULLING AWAY FROM STOP SIGN. TRANSMISSION SHIFTED HARD TWICE. THEN HAD NO FORWARD MOTION, ENGINE WOULD REV UP, BUT NOT MOVE THE VEHICAL. TRUCK HAS 100,000 MILE NISSAN EXTENDED POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. WAS FIRST TOLD BY THE DEALER. 100% COVERED. LESS THAN AN HOUR LATER, WAS TOLD NOT COVERED. COST $5000 PLUS. CONTACTED NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE. GABBY AT NISSAN SIAD THEY WOULD LOOK INTO IT. TOOK A WEEK FOR THEM TO FINALLY CALL BACK. THEY ASKED ME TO COVER $2000. THEY WOULD NOT COVER THE WHOLE BILL, EVEN THOUGH IT IS A KNOWN DEFECT. AND THE TRUCK HAS THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. I PAID $2192.43 TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION AND DEFECTIVE RADIATOR REPLACED. ASKED IF THE RADIATOR WAS AN UPDATED PART. WAITING ON A CALL TO FIND OUT IF IT IS A BETTER RADIATOR OR JUST A NEW ONE WITH THE SAME DEFECT. RIGHT NOW. ITS A TICKING TIME BOMB, IF THE FAILURE OCCURED IN TRAFFIC ON AN INTERSTATE, A MAJOR CRASH COULD HAVE HAPPENED. *TR

2005 NISSAN FRONTIER. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO MALFUNCTION IN THE RADIATOR LEAKING, THAT RESULTED IN COMPLETELY DAMAGING THE VEHICLE'S TRANSMISSION *TGW

I HAVE HAD MY 2005 NISSAN FRONTIER FOR 3 MONTHS AND THE FUEL SENDING UNIT HAS GONE OUT. I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING ALL IT HAS HAPPENED TO MANY OF THE OWNERS. IT IS NOT RIGHT FOR THE NISSAN TO PLACE FAULTING PARTS AND MAKE THE OWNERS PAY BETWEEN $400 AND $700 TO REPAIR IT. *TR

IN NOVEMBER 2010 MY TRANSMISSION FAILED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. 3 MONTHS AFTER HAVING THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE NEW TRANSMISSION, I DISCOVERED I HAD TO HAVE THE RADIATOR REPLACED BUT IT WAS TOO LATE. THE NEW TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN RUIN DUE TO A FAULTY RADIATOR INSTALL IN THE 2005 FRONTIERS BY NISSAN. *TR

GRADUAL FAILURE OF TRANSMISSION DUE TO RUPTURED TRANSMISSION COOLER INSIDE RADIATOR ALLOWING COOLANT INTO TRANSMISSION FLUID. SYMPTOM STARTED AS SMALL VIBRATION AND NUMEROUS SERVICE ATTEMPTS COULD NOT IDENTIFY PROBLEM. HAD TRANSMISSION FLUSHED AND SERVICE CENTER DID NOT MENTION ANY DISCOLORATION OF FLUID OR OTHER PROBLEM. HAD RADIATOR DRAINED AND FLUSHED AND THERMOSTAT REPLACED,SERVICE CENTER DID NOT CITE ANY DISCOLORATION OF FLUID. TRANSMISSION NOW BUCKS HEAVILY AND WEB RESEARCH UNCOVERED THE PROBLEM WITH SIMILIAR MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLE. *KB

FUEL GAUGE INACCURACY - NISSAN CHOSE NOT TO INCLUDE MODEL YEAR 2005 FRONTIERS IN A VOLUNTARY SAFETY RECALL CAMPAIGN THAT WAS ISSUED ON 2006 AND 2008 FRONTIER, XTERRA AND PATHFINDER VEHICLES (CAMPAIGN ID# PC 042). IN THE ALTERNATIVE, NISSAN EXTENDED THE WARRANTY OF 2005 MODELS FROM 36 TO 72 MONTHS. MY 2005 VEHICLE IS NOW EXHIBITING THE CONDITION THE CONDITION WHEREIN THE FUEL GAGE READS ONE QUARTER TANK, WHEN THE TANK IS ACTUALLY EMPTY. THIS RESULTED IN AN OUT OF FUEL INCIDENT OCCURRING ON THE HIGHWAY, A NEAR ACCIDENT AND SUBSEQUENTLY BEING STRANDED AWAITING ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE. ALTHOUGH MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 41,000 MILES - IT HAS BEEN 78 MONTHS SINCE PURCHASE AND NISSAN IS DENYING MY REQUEST FOR COVERAGE OF THE REPAIR COST. HAD NISSAN RIGHTLY INFORMED ME OF THE CONDITION VIA INCLUSION IN THE RECALL CAMPAIGN - I WOULD HAVE HAD THE DEFECTIVE FUEL SENDING UNIT REPLACED IMMEDIATELY. INSTEAD I AM BEING FORCED TO COVER THE COST OF REPAIR FOR THIS SAFETY DEFECT. I THEREFORE AM REQUESTING REIMBURSEMENT FOR MY RELATED EXPENSES. *TR

RADIATOR FAILED/CRACKED AND COOLANT LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND DESTROYED THE TRANSMISSION. *TR *JS

WAS STOPPED AT RED LIGHT WENT TO PULL OFF TRANSMISSION SLIPPED AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. HAD ENGINE CHECKED AND IT HAD A CODE OF P1754 FOR TRANSMISSION SOLENOID. CHECK CODE ON INTERNET AND SAW WHERE IT WAS A PROBLEM NISSAN HAD WITH A CRACKED RADIATOR. TOOK TO RADIATOR SHOP AND HE SAID RADIATOR WAS CRACKED AND FLUID FROM RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION WAS MIXING TOGETHER HAD RADIATOR REPLACED AND TOOK TRUCK TO NISSAN TO HAVE TRANSMISSION CHECK, THEY SAID TRANSMISSION WAS DAMAGED BY ANTIFREEZE AND IT HAS TO BE REPLACED. *TR

AT 60MPH ON A SLIGHT GRADE, THE TRUCK BEGAN TO SHAKE. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS CHATTER BUMPS, BUT THE SHAKING INCREASED OVER A COUPLE OF DAYS AND BEGAN TO HAPPEN AT LOW SPEEDS. ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC, RADIATOR WAS LEAKING INTO TRANSMISSION AND DESTROYED THE TRANSMISSION. HAVE ATTEMPTED TO FIX BY REPARING RADIATOR AND FLUSHING TRANSMISSION. NEITHER HAS HELPED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LAMP ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT TRANSMISSION FLUID ENTERED THE RADIATOR AND THE RADIATOR FLUID MIXED WITH THE TRANSMISSION. AS A RESULT, THE TRANSMISSION AND THE RADIATOR WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE WHO DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 87,000.

EXPERIENCED VIBRATIONS IN THE SUSPENSION AT APPROXIMATELY 55MPH. OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS, THE VIBRATIONS BECAME PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE NISSAN DEALER FOR REPAIRS. I WAS TOLD THIS WAS A TRANSMISSION FAILURE CAUSED BY A DESIGN PROBLEM WHERE THE RADIATOR FLUID OVER TIME CONTAMINATES THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. THE NISSAN DEALER STATED THE REPAIRS CALLED FOR COMPLETE REPLACEMENT OF THE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR. THE REPAIRS WERE DONE AT A COST OF $5,375.28. SINCE THIS TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR FAILURE WAS CAUSED BY A DESIGN PROBLEM, I CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS TO REQUEST THAT THEY COMPENSATE ME FOR THE COST OF REPAIRS. THEY REFUSED TO COVER THE COST OF REPAIRS, STATING THAT THE WARRANTY PERIOD HAD EXPIRED. *TR

MY 2005 FRONTIER STARTED STUTTERING AND NOT ACCELERATING AS NORMAL. I WAS TRYING TO GET ONTO THE FREEWAY AND MY TRUCK WOULD NOT GO PAST ABOUT 45 MPH. I GOT OFF THE FREEWAY AND TOOK SIDE ROADS BACK HOME. AFTER NUMEROUS PHONE CALLS TO NISSAN TO TRY TO FIX THIS PROBLEM I LOOKED ONLINE AND FOUND OUT THAT THE MOST COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE IS TRANSMISSION FLUID MIXING WITH COOLANT FROM THE RADIATOR AND CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION TO FAIL. I TOOK MY TRUCK TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY TOLD ME THERE WASN'T A PROBLEM WITH MY TRANSMISSION FLUID AND IT WAS FINE. I THEN TOOK MY TRUCK TO ANOTHER MECHANIC WHO TOLD ME THE PROBLEM WAS THE MIXING OF THE TWO FLUIDS. THIS PROBLEM COULD HAVE POTENTIALLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT ON THE FREEWAY, AS MY TRUCK'S MAXIMUM SPEED WAS 20 MPH LESS THAT THE SPEED LIMIT, AND MY TRUCK COULD HAVE POTENTIALLY STOPPED ALL TOGETHER. I'M JUST GLAD NONE OF THAT HAPPENED, BUT I'M SURE SOMEONE ELSE IS NOT GOING TO BE SO LUCKY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT CALIPERS SEIZED AND AS A RESULT, THE BRAKES FAILED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE REPLACED THE CALIPERS, BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS ON EACH SIDE TWICE PRIOR TO THE RECENT FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE WHO DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 24,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 72,000.

I PURCHASED A 2005 NISSAN FRONTIER IN 2006. IN 2010 I NOTICED MY SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK MY TRUCK TO A MECHANIC WHO PUT IT ON THE COMPUTER TO SEE WHAT IS GOING ON. THE COMPUTER READ THAT THE SENSORS WERE BAD. I REPLACED ALL THE SENSORS MYSELF AND STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN READING ONLINE THAT THIS IS A BIG ISSUE WITH FRONTIERS. IT'S DEFINITELY A SAFETY HAZARD AND CAUSES PROBLEMS WHEN TRYING TO GET THE TRUCK TO PASS INSPECTION. THERE NEEDS TO BE A WARNING WHEN AN ISSUE LIKE THIS IS HAPPENING FOR CONSUMERS. *TR

2005 NISSAN FRONTIER 4X4 CREW CAB. POOR DESIGN OF TAILGATE HINGE ASSEMBLY DRIVERS SIDE, APPEARS THAT WAS DESIGNED TO WITHSTAND LIGHTER TAILGATE. AS I UNDERSTAND NISSAN HAS REDESIGNED AND CHANGED TAILGATE ASSEMBLY FOR 2006 AND NEWER MODELS. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE TRUCK AND NOTICED THE VEHICLE FOLLOWING CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP SINCE THE TAILGATE ON MY TRUCK WAS DRAGGING ON THE ROAD AND HELD PARTIALLY STILL CONNECTED TO TRUCK BODY WITH CABLE ASSEMBLY. HINGE APPEARED CRACKED AND PULLED FROM BODY OF TRUCK. TAILGATE WAS ALWAYS IN LOCKED POSITION SINCE WE HAVE ISSUES WITH THIEVES IN OUR AREA AND WAS STILL IN LOCKED POSITION WHEN I TOOK IT OUT OF TRUCK BED. OBVIOUSLY AT HIGHER SPEEDS THE FAILURE OF THE HINGE ASSEMBLY COULD COMPROMISE THE SAFETY OF FOLLOWING VEHICLES IN THE EVENT THE TAILGATE BECAME REMOVED AND FELL OFF ONTO ROADWAY. *TR

A DEFECTIVE FUEL SENSOR ON A VEHICLE WITH LESS THAN 45K MILES. THE GAS GAUGE GIVES IMPROPER READINGS AND THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT IS CONTINUOUSLY ON. *TR

TRUCK WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO DRIVE AFTER BACKING UP. HAD BEEN HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE OD FOR ABOUT A MONTH. IT WOULD VIBRATE OR RUMBLE AT SPEEDS OF AROUND 60MPH. STOPPED USING THE OD AND IT SEEMED OK UNTIL YESTERDAY. CHECKED COOLANT FOR TRANSMISSION FLUID LIKE EVERYONE ELSE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND THERE IT WAS. THIS IS VERY OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT WITH SO MANY PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME TROUBLE. *TR

MY GAS GAUGE ACTING WEIRD ERRATIC. READS FULL WHEN FULL BUT REACH HALF WAY MARK NEEDLE WILL DROP TO EMPTY. NHTSA INFO SAYS THERE WAS A RECALL DUE THIS BUT KEN GRAFF NISSAN OF RIVERDALE UTAH REFUSES TO FIX UNLESS WE PAY. NOTICE ON WEB THERE ARE MANY NISSAN OWNERS WITH SAME PROBLEMS. *KB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2005 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH A POPPING NOISE EMITTED FROM THE VEHICLE AND SMOKE STARTED BEGAN TO RISE FROM UNDER THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS MERGED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS NOTIFIED. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE, BUT THE ORIGIN WAS UNKNOWN. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND THE INSURANCE COMPANY WAS NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TOWED TO A JUNK YARD. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

"SERVICE ENGINE SOON" MESSAGE APPEARED AND FUEL GAUGE FAILED. CODE CHECK REVEALED-PO463 FUEL LEVEL SENSOR FAILURE. BASED ON INTERNET SEARCH MOST OF THIS NISSAN PRODUCT OF VARIOUS YEARS HAS THIS PROBLEM,- A DEFINITE SAFETY ISSUE AND NISSAN REFUSES TO REPAIR UNDER WHAT SHOULD BE A RECALL IN MY OPINION. NHTSB SHOULD REQUIRE NISSAN TO REPAIR AT NO COST TO OWNER. *TR

ON 1 NOV 2001 I WAS COMING BACK FROM AJO AZ. WHEN MY ENGINE OVERHEATED AS I WAS TRYING TO PASS A VEHICLE. ABOUT EVEN WITH THE OTHER VEHICLE TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING AND I NOTICED THAT THE ENGINE WAS OVER HEATING. I LET OFF THE GAS AND STOPPED AS SOON AS I COULD AND WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED.AFTER STOPPING I DISCOVERED NO WATER IN RADIATOR.I FILLED IT FROM A 5 GALLON CAN OF WATER AND MADE IT TO A GAS STATION.THE MECHANIC ON DUTY TOLD ME THAT THE RADIATOR FAILED INTERNALLY AND THAT I HAD WATER AND ANTIFREEZE IN THE TRANSMISSION.MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT HE HAD SEVERAL PATHFINDERS AND A FEW FRONTIERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I GOT ON LINE AND FOUND HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WITH NISSANS HAD THE SAME COMPLAINT. I CALLED THE NISSAN DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT THAT WAS NOT THE CASE THAT THEY WOULD REPLACE THE RADIATOR AND FLUSH THE TRANSMISSION AND IT WOULD BE GOOD TO GO. ON LINE PEOPLES COMPLAINTS THAT I FOUND SAID THEY WERE TOLD THE SAME AND THE TRANSMISSIONS STILL FAILED. CAN I EXPECT A RECALL TO FIX THIS PROBLEM?THE WARANTY WAS UP AT 98,000 MILES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 35 WHEN THE ENGINE EXHIBITED A DECREASE IN RPMS FOLLOWED BY THE STALLING OF THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED AFTER THE FAILURE BUT THE RPM WERE STILL ABNORMAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN THE DEALER WHERE THE DEALER CONFIRMED THAT THE WIRING HARNESS WAS CORRODED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 132,000.

NISSAN HAS NOT STOOD BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT ONCE SO EVER. RADIATOR FLUID LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION CAUSING IT TO GO OUT. NISSAN KNEW ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND DID NOT SEND OUT A RECALL FOR THE PROBLEM AND NEVER DID TILL THIS DAY. ALTHOUGH THEY CHOOSE TO ON OTHER PROBLEMS. ITS A SAFTEY ISSUE AS WELL AND NISSAN DOES NOT SEEM TO CARE AT ALL. THEY WENT ON SELLING CARS LIKE NORMAL AND CHOOSE TO LEAVE THERE PAST CONSUMERS IN THE DUST. NOT WORKING WITH OR CARING ABOUT US. I WORK HARD FOR THIS TRUCK AND NISSAN DOES NOT WANT TO HELP AND WONT HELP ONE BIT. EVEN THOUGH ITS COMPLETELY DUE TO A MANUFACTURER FLAW BY NISSAN AS A COMPANY AND THEY KNOW IT! PLEASE HELP! *TR

WHINING NOISE FROM FRONT OF ENGINE. DIAGNOSED AS TIMING CHAIN TENSIONER FAILING. NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE. DEALER COVERED 300 DOLLARS BUT AFTER 20 DAYS AND 13 PHONE CALLS, NISSAN USA REFUSED TO PARTICIPATE IN REPAIR OR DISCUSS THE ISSUE. CONCERN FOR TRANSMISSION FAILURE DUE TO COOLANT LEAKING INTO TRANSMISSION. NISSAN EXTENDED WARRANTY TO 80,000 WHICH DOES VERY LITTLE FOR THOSE OF US THAT KEEP OUR VEHICLES A LONG TIME. *TR

THE TRANSMISSION COOLER BUILT INTO THE RADIATOR FAILED CAUSING COOLANT AND TRANSMISSION FLUID TO CROSS CONTAMINATE AND CAUSE POSSIBLE OVERHEAT OF MOTOR AND FAILURE OF TRANSMISSION. TRIED CONTACTING NISSAN NORTH AMERICA ABOUT HELP FIXING IT BUT THEY REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT BECAUSE IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. GETTING THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION REPLACED WILL COST ABOUT $5,000. *TT

I DROVE THE FRONTIER TO WORK THAT MORNING, THEN IN THE AFTERNOON I BEGAN MY 62 MILE COMMUTE HOME. I CAME TO A STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND THEN WHEN I BEGAN TO DRIVE AGAIN THE ENGINE WOULD REV HIGH AND ACCELERATE SLOWLY. I MADE IT TO A SERVICE STATION WHERE THE CODE P1754 WAS READ ON THE ONBOARD COMPUTER. I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE STATION THAT IT NEEDED TO BE LOOKED AT, SINCE HE DIDN'T SEE ANY MECHANICAL ISSUES. THE CODE WAS CLEARED AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT HOME. THE NEXT MORNING THINKING THE PROBLEM MAY HAVE BEEN A GLITCH IN THE COMPUTER I ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE IT DOWN THE ROAD, APPROXIMATELY 2 MILES INTO THE DRIVE A VIOLENT JERK OF THE TRUCK AND I COULD NOT ACCELERATE, IT WAS AS THOUGH THE VEHICLE WAS IN NEUTRAL. I MADE IT HOME AND HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALER I BOUGHT IT FROM IN 2007. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE TRANSMISSION COOLER HAD CRACKED AND CROSS CONTAMINATED THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION FLUIDS AND IT WOULD BE A 6300.00 DOLLAR REPAIR. I CONTACTED NISSAN AFTER READING ONLINE ABOUT MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH THIS AND THEY SAID THAT THEY HAD SENT A LETTER OUT IN DECEMBER NOTIFYING OWNERS OF THE ISSUE. THE LETTER STATED THAT THE WARRANTY HAD BEEN EXTENDED TO 80,000 MILES. DUE TO THE FACT THAT NEITHER THE DEALER NOR NISSAN HAD TAKEN THE TIME TO UPDATE THE VEHICLES INFO SHOWING MY OWNERSHIP, I NEVER RECEIVED A LETTER AND AM BEYOND THE 80,000 MILES AS ARE MANY OF THE OTHER OWNERS EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE. NISSAN ADMITS THAT THE TRANSMISSION COOLER IS SUFFERING CATASTROPHIC FA

THE CAB TRUCK BODY MOUNT HAS 6 LARGE WASHERS HOLDING THE CAB TO THE TRUCK. WHILE THE TRUCK WAS PARKED AND RUNNING 3 OF THE WASHERS BROKE OFF. NOT SURE IF THE WELD FAILED OR WHAT CAUSED THEM TO BREAK LOOSE. WILL THE CAB STAY ON THE TRUCK? THE TRUCK WAS PARKED I HEARD THE BANG AND LOOKED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE TO FIND THE WASHERS RIGHT BEHIND THE FRONT PASSENGER TIRE. EVER HEARD OF THIS HAPPENING? I CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR AN EXCUSE FROM THE DEALER AS TO WHY THAT HAPPENED. CONTACT ME ANYTIME!!! *TR

DEAR SIR OR MA'AM; I HAVE A NISSAN FRONTIER 2005 V^ 4.0L ENGINE NISMO 4X4 MODEL. IT HAS 91K MILES IN IT AND HAVE RECENTLY BEEN EXPERIENCING SLUGGISHNESS AND A "THUD" WHILE IN LOW POWER (AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION). SO I HAVE BEEN READING FORUMS AND ONLINE SITES TO GET AN IDEA OF WHAT THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM MAYBE. MECHANICS AND AUTO PART STORES HAVE DIAGNOSED IT AS AN ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION BRAKE CONTROL VALVE (INTERNAL). MY TRUCKS DISCREPANCY MIGHT BE ISOLATED BUT WHAT CONCERNS ME GOES NOT ONLY FOR MY VEHICLE BUT ALSO AND MORE FOR ALL THESE CONSUMERS WHO HAVE REPORTED PROBLEMS WITH THEIR RADIATION+TRANSMISSION. THEY HAVE SPENT MONEY AND IT SEEMS FROM THEIR COMMENTS NISSAN DEALERSHIPS AND COMPANY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO HELP OR ADDRESS A KNOWN ISSUE (IT SOUNDS LIKE A COVER-UP--HOPEFULLY THE CONSUMERS ARE ACCURATE IN THEIR DESCRIPTION). WHAT FURTHER CONCERNS ME IS THAT THEY SEEM TO BE STUCK WITH THEIR SITUATION AND UNABLE TO GO FURTHER. ONE CONSUMER CONTACTED A LOCAL TV STATIONS CONSUMER AFFAIRS SECTION AND GOT HELP. SO IT SEEMS THAT WHAT THESE CONSUMERS NEED IS BACKING FROM A LEGITIMATE INSTITUTION OR AGENCY. IF THE DEALERSHIP/COMPANY WILL NOT LISTEN TO THEIR COSTUMERS AND ADDRESS THE ISSUE (WHICH I BELIEVE IS A SAFETY ISSUE), PERHAPS WE CAN GET YOUR (NHTSA) HELP. I PROPOSE THAT NHTSA PLS LOOK INTO THIS MECHANICAL SAFETY CONCERN AND LOOK INTO POSSIBILITY OF POOR MATERIALS/MANUFACTURING OF SOME OF THE NISSAN FRONTIER COMPONENTS. APPRECIATE YOUR RESPONSE ON THIS MATTER. FOR TH

I HAVE A SUFFERED A TRANSMISSION FAILURE DUE TO A FAULTY RADIATOR IN MY 2005 NISSAN FRONTIER. COOLANT HAS ENTERED THE TRANSMISSION DUE TO RADIATOR FAILURE, THUS RUINING IT. I HAVE HAD MY 2005 NISSAN FRONTIER IN THE SHOP FOR FIVE WEEKS AND IT WILL COST $4,500 TO REPAIR. *TR

MY NISSAN 2005 FRONTIER HAS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM WHERE THE RADIATOR IS LEAKING COOLANT IN THE TRANSMISSION. THIS HAS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO NOT CHANGE GEARS PROPERLY AND IS A DANGER AS IT DOES NOT ACCELERATE AS IT SHOULD. *TR

2005 NISSAN FRONTIER. TRANSMISSION FAILURE.. VEHICLE SHUTTERS AROUND 40 MPH AND SOME LOUD CLUNKING NOISES WHEN THE TRANNY SHIFTS. DEALER TRIED TO BLAME MY BRAKES. TOOK TO TRANSMISION SHOP AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE $5000 TO REPLACE TRANNY BECAUSE COOLANT CONTAMINATED THE TRANSMISION. *TT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN FRONTIER PICKUP TRUCK. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD VIBRATE INTO THE NEXT GEAR. THE CONTACT WOULD RELEASE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL THE VEHICLE SPEED WOULD INCREASE EXCESSIVELY. THE CONTACT WAS FORCED TO SHIFT INTO OVER DRIVE IN ORDER TO GAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER NOR MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE WAS NOT REMEDIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 94,600. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 95,000. UPDATED 08/15/11 *BF THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PROBLEM HAS SINCE BEEN DIAGNOSED BY A NISSAN DEALERSHIP AS BEING AN INTERMIX OF RADIANT COOLANT AND TRANSMISSION FLUID. THIS MIX RUINED THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION. UPDATED 06/07/12 *JS

TOOK MY TRUCK TO PELTIER IN TYLER FOR AN ECM RELAY RECALL. MECHANIC LOOKED AT TRUCK AND FOUND THAT THE RADIATOR TRANSMISSION COOLER WAS LEAKING ANTI-FREEZE INTO MY TRANSMISSION. WAS TOLD TO REPLACE RADIATOR IMMEDIATELY AND FLUSH TRANSMISSION. DID THIS HOWEVER TRANSMISSION WENT INTO LIMP MODE AND PROGRESSIVELY GOT WORSE. A MECHANIC REPLACED THE VALVE BODY WHICH COST OVER $1000 FOR THE PART ALONE AND CHECKED THE CLUTCH PACKS IN THE TRANSMISSION. CLUTCH PACKS CHECKED OKAY HOWEVER THE MECHANIC COULD NOT GUARANTEE THAT THE TORQUE CONVERTER WAS OKAY. VEHICLE SEEMED TO DRIVE OKAY AFTER THE REPAIR. NOW THE TORQUE CONVERTER SEEMS TO BE GOING OUT AND THE VEHICLE WILL GO INTO THE LIMP MODE. I HAVE TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY TO RESET THE CODE AND IT WILL DRIVE OKAY FOR ABOUT 10 MILES AND THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT GOES ON. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE VEHICLE GOES INTO THE LIMP MODE. MY MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT HE THINKS THE TORQUE CONVERTER IS SHOT AND WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED. UPDATE AS OF 07/192011 - MECHANIC REPLACED MY TORQUE CONVERTER AND REBUILT TRANSMISSION. THE OLD TORQUE CONVERTER CAME APART AND AFTER PULLING THE TRANSMISSION, HE SAW A LOT OF METALLIC SHAVINGS ON THE SCREEN ON THE VALVE BODY. WHILE DRIVING TO WORK ON 07/22/2011, I WAS DRIVING AROUND 70 MPH WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ON. ALL OF A SUDDEN MY RPM GAUGE REDLINED AND MY TRANSMISSION WENT INTO NEUTRAL. I IMMEDIATELY RELEASED THE CRUISE CONTROL BY TAPPING THE BRAKE PEDAL. WITH NO SHOULDER ON THE ROAD AT MY LOCATION, AN 18 WHEELER WAS

DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSIONS AND FUEL SENSORS ON NISSAN TRUCKS. NISSAN IS VERY AWARE OF THESE PROBLEMS BUT REFUSES TO REMEDY OR REPAIR.
