2006 Nissan Frontier complaints

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND ALMOST CRASHED. MECHANIC SAID THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION FAILED. RADIATOR FLUID MIXED INTO TRANSMISSION FLUID. VEHICLE ONLY HAS 85000 MILES ON IT.

TCM FOR NISSAN TRUCK FRONTIER 2006 V6 LE IS MALFUNCTIONING. WHEN I AM DRIVING IT JUMPS TO ANOTHER GEAR LIKE 3 GEAR. IT SHIFTS BY ITSELF AS IF I WAS CARRYING A LARGE LOAD. IT LOSSES POWER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WITH NOSINGS.

VEHICLE WILL NOT CHANGE GEARS AND IS SLUGGISH. THE DISPLAY ON THE SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT SHOW THE POSITION OF THE TRANSMISSION. I HAVE SPENT OVER 600 DOLLARS TO FIND OUT THAT THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE IS BAD AND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL TO FIX COOLENT LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. MY VEHICLE IS STILL BROKEN BECAUSE OF THE PART COST 1100 USD AND THE REPAIR. TOTAL BILL IS 1600 USD. THIS WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE FIXED WITHOUT ME PAYING A DIME. MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. NOW IT WON'T EVEN GET UP TO SPEED THE TRANSMISSION SOUNDS AS IF IT IS STUCK IN A GEAR. VERY ERRATIC. MY CRUISE CONTROL ALSO JUST BLINKS AND WHEN THE MECHANIC TESTED THE CODES IT GAVE A NETWORK FAILURE CODE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START, WHEN ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE. THERE WAS NO WARNING INDICATOR LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT NOTICED AN ABNORMAL FUEL ODOR INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE ODOR ATTACHED ITSELF TO THE CONTACT'S CLOTHES. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 73,727.

ON A CITY STREET, WENT TO PARALELL PARK AND NOTICED THE STEERING WAS STIFF. AFTER PULLING OUT, NOTICED STEERING HAD STAYED STIFF AND WAS HARD ENOUGH TO TURN THAT IT FELT LIKE THE STEERING HAD LOCKED. AFTER TAKING THE VEHICLE TO BE LOOKED AT BY A MECHANIC, HE INFORMED US THAT IT WAS A STEERING COLUMN SHAFT FAILURE AND IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL OF NISSAN, AND FOR US TO CHECK TO SEE IF THIS WAS UNDER RECALL AS IT SHOULD BE.

THE PROBLEM STEMS FROM AN ACKNOWLEDGED DEFECT INSIDE THE RADIATOR ASSEMBLY. THE METAL TUBES THAT SEPARATE ENGINE COOLANT FROM TRANSMISSION FLUID CRACK OVER TIME. COOLANT AND TRANSMISSION FLUID MIXES THROUGH THESE CRACKS AND SUBSEQUENTLY CAUSE TRANSMISSION FAILURE. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION WHEN THIS HAPPENED. VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT BUT WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN VEHICLE HAD NO POWER WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALER WHERE THEY TOLD ME THE PROBLEM WAS WITH THE TRANSMISSION AS DESCRIBED ABOVE. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN DOCUMENT MANY TIMES BEFORE AND NISSAN IS AWARE OF IT. A MANUFACTURE RECALL HAS NEVER BEEN ISSUED. REPAIRS HAVE BEEN ALLOWED UNDER WARRANTY BUT THIS VEHICLE IS PAST THE TIME LIMIT AND NUMBER OF MILES DEFINED IN THE WARRANTY AND NISSAN WILL NOT TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS DEFECT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LEGEND NISSAN (268 JERICHO TURNPIKE, SYOSSET, NY 11791, (516) 496-8181) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRONT CRASH ZONE SENSOR WAS DEGRADED AND NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE SAME FAILURE AS LISTED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 08V690000 (AIR BAGS). THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 182,376.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WAS NOT READING CORRECTLY. WHEN THE CONTACT FILLED UP THE FUEL TANK, THE FUEL GAUGE SHOWED THE FUEL LEVEL AS EMPTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE CURRENTLY DISPLAYED AS BEING EMPTY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED, PROVIDED A CASE NUMBER, CHECKED FOR RECALLS, AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,500. *TT CONSUMER STATED GAS GAUGE QUIT READING; LIGHT IS ON SHOWING TO BE EMPTY, DRIVERS SIDE GLASS WON'T ROLL UP AND DOWN. CONSUMER CONTACTED THE DEALER.*JB

THE 2 COMPLAINTS I HAVE REGARDING MY FRONTIER HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THE SAME YR THAT MY FRONTIER IS, BUT I DIDN'T RECEIVE A RECALL NOTICE FOR EITHER ONE. FIRST IS THE FUEL PUMP SENDING UNIT, WHICH SHOWS YOU HOW MUCH GAS YOU HAVE IN THE VEHICLE. MY FUEL GAUGE WILL SHOW THAT I HAVE NO GAS EVEN AFTER I FILL UP MY TANK, BUT THEN I CAN PARK FOR A FEW MINUTES & THEN THE GAUGE WILL SHOW THAT I HAVE A FULL TANK OF GAS. I RAN A DIAGNOSTIC TEST, & THE RESULTS DISPLAYED A CODE THAT MEANT IT NEEDED A NEW SENDING UNIT. HOWEVER, WITH THIS PARTICULAR MODEL, I CANNOT JUST GET THE SENDING UNIT, BECAUSE IT ONLY COMES IN ONE WHOLE PIECE, MEANING THAT THE MECHANICS WILL HAVE TO EMPTY THE GAS TANK & DROP THE TANK, WHICH IS MUCH MORE WORK. THEREFORE, THIS REPAIR WILL COST ME $900.00. THE SECOND COMPLAINT & THE MOST OUTRAGEOUS & DISAPPOINTING ONE IS REGARDING MY TRANSMISSION & RADIATOR. RECENTLY I TOOK MY FRONTIER INTO THE SHOP TO HABE THE TRANSMISSION FLUID CHECKED & CHANGED IF IT NEEDED TO BE. HOWEVER, THE MECHANIC CALLED & INFORMED THAT AFTER HOOKING MY TRUCK UP TO A TRANSMISSION TESTER, THE RESULTS INDICATED THAT I HAD PRESSURE PROBLEMS DUE TO THE RADIATOR COOLANT LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION FLUID, & CAUSING A CHEMICAL REACTION THAT WILL DESTROY THE CLUTCHES INSIDE THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. KEEP IN MIND THAT I ONLY HAVE 80,000 MILES ON MY 2006 FRONTIER, & NEEDING A NEW TRANSMISSION ALREADY WITH THIS LOW MILEAGE IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS & UNCALLED FOR. ESPECIALLY SINCE NISSAN HAS DONE A REC

MY AIR BAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON AND TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP. WAS TOLD THE FRONT IMPACT SENSOR WAS THE ISSUE, WHICH WAS COVERED UNDER A NISSAN CAMPAIGN FOR KNOWN ISSUES. TRUCK WAS INITIALLY PURCHASED IN NY AND DRIVEN ON SALTED ROADS, WHICH WAS THE CAUSE FOR SENSOR FAILURE, HOWEVER I LIVED IN FL AT THE TIME THE RECALL WAS ISSUED. THE CAMPAIGN WAS 08V690000.

RADIATOR SYSTEM

COOLANT LEAKED FROM RADIATOR INTO TRANSMISSION THROUGH FAULTY COOLING LINES.. RESULT WAS SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER WHILE ACCELERATING ONTO HIGHWAY. VERY COSTLY REPAIR BILL ($4600.00). HAD TO REPLACE RADIATOR AND DO A COMPLETE REBUILD OF TRANSMISSION.

FUEL SENDER UNIT FAILED AND CAN NO LONGER ESTABLISH AMOUNT OF FUEL AND NOW AT RISK BEING STRANDED. APPARENTLY THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH FRONTIERS

VEHICLE DIES WHILE DRIVING LOOSES ALL ELECTRICAL , SITS FOR FEW HOURS WORKS NORMAL

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE RADIATOR CRACKED, WHICH CAUSED TRANSMISSION FLUID AND RADIATOR COOLANT TO MIX TOGETHER. THE FAILURE EVENTUALLY CAUSED THE TRANSMISSION TO FAIL. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO BANISTER NISSAN OF NORFOLK (1250 N MILITARY HWY, NORFOLK, VA 23502) WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALLS AND THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 99,967.

ON 11/10/2018 WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WITH NO WARNING LIGHT MY 2006 NISSAN STARTS TO LOSE POWER!!! I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE FREEWAY AND PULL INTO A GAS STATION TO CALL AAA TO TOW IT TO A MECHANIC. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THE TRANSMISSION HAS COOLENT IN IT AND THE TRANSMISSION WILL NEED I BE REBUILT OR REPLACED WITH A REBUILT TRANSMISSION. HE SAID THERE WAS A CRACK IN THE COOLENT HOSE THAT WAS A MANUFACTURE DEFECT. I NEVER GOT ANY WARNING LIGHT UNTIL AFTER THE TRANSMISSION FAILED.

MY TRANSMISSION WENT OUT. THE MECHANIC SAID THE RADIATOR LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION. THIS REPAIR COSTED ME $4000, NEW TRANSMISSION AND NEW RADIATOR. WAS CONSIDERING BUYING ANOTHER NISSAN BUT WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER ONE. I WILL BE PROVIDING THE BILL AS SOON AS I CAN SCAN THEM.

I WENT TO THE GAS STATION AND FILLED THE TANK UP ALL THE WAY. BEFORE I FILLED IT THE FUEL GAUGE READ SLIGHTLY ABOVE A QUARTER TANK. AFTER I FILLED IT I TURNED THE CAR ON AND THE NEEDLE WAS STUCK AT SLIGHTLY ABOVE A QUARTER TANK. SO I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND TURNED IT BACK ON. THE FUEL GAUGE THEN DROPPED TO THE BOTTOM AND TRIGGERED THE LOW FUEL INDICATOR ALONG WITH THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON INDICATOR. OVER 600 COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN ISSUED AND THIS HAPPENS ON A LOT OF NISSAN CARS SUCH AS THE FRONTIER, XTERRA, PATHFINDER, ETC. THIS IS A ENGINEERING DESIGN ISSUE NOT A MAINTENANCE PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IDLING, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE MOVED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 128,000.

APPARENTLY COOLANT MIXED INTO MY TRANSMISSION AND IT IS NOW SLIPPING. AND REPAIR WILL COST $4500.00 OR MORE. I HEARD A SLIGHT CLUNK WHEN DRIVING THEN IT STARTED TO SLIP.

DUE TO DESIGN FLAW RESULTING IN MIXING OF TRANSMISSION FLUID AND RADIATOR FLUID, TRANSMISSION WAS DESTROYED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH WHENEVER FAILURE OCCURRED. I HAVE SINCE BEEN MADE AWARE THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH MANY NISSAN VEHICLES WITH SIMILAR SYSTEMS. DOCUMENTATION OF TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT IS NOT CURRENTLY IN MY POSSESSION, HOWEVER IF NECESSARY, ALL DOCUMENTATION CAN BE OBTAINED FROM TRANSMISSION REPAIR FACILITY.

CROSS CONTAMINATION COOLANT AND TRANSMISSION . VEHICLE WILL NOT START. WAS PERFECTLY FINE ONE MONTH AGO WHEN TOOK IT TO NISSAN FOR SERVICE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE SLOWLY REDUCED SPEED AND CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP SEVERAL TIMES WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALER (ROBERT WOODALL NISSAN, 132 UNION ST, DANVILLE, VA 24540, (434) 797-1411) REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHO ONLY INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE IF THE FAILURE WAS ELECTRICAL, ENGINE, OR POWER TRAIN RELATED. THE CONTACT WAS UNCERTAIN IF THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 1V0517000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 108,172.

DEAR NISSAN SERVICE: I AM THE OWNER OF A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER SE WITH APPROXIMATELY 124,000 MILES. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED USED FROM NALLEY NISSAN IN 2012 WITH APPROXIMATELY 89,000 MILES ON IT. THE HISTORY OF THE VEHICLE WAS METICULOUS, MINUS THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER HAD BEEN REPLACED BY NALLEY NISSAN. IN FEBRUARY 04, 2016 I HAD THE LEFT CATALYTIC CONVERTER REPLACED AT NALLEY NISSAN. THE RIGHT CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS REPLACED PRIOR TO PURCHASING THE VEHICLE. MY VEHICLE HAS ALREADY HAD BOTH CATALYTIC CONVERTERS REPLACED. ON MAY 11, 2018 I WAS ADVISED THAT I NEED BOTH OF MY CATALYTIC CONVERTERS REPLACED AGAIN AT STONE MOUNTAIN NISSAN. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAD CAME ON AGAIINHOWEVER, BOTH OF THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS HAVE BEEN PREVIOUSLY REPLACED. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THIS IN NOT AN INEXPENSIVE REPAIR. I ONLY USED PREMIUM GASOLINE IN MY VEHICLE TO ENSURE ITS PROPER PERFORMANCE AND GET MY VEHICLE REGULARLY MAINTAINED AN NISSAN DEALERSHIPS. IT IS RATHER OBVIOUS THAT THERE IS SOMETHING ELSE GOING ON WITH MY VEHICLE THAT IS DEFECTIVE IN NATURE. I HAD READ THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEMS WITH NISSAN FRONTIERS AND NISSAN ALTIMAS. I DO NOT WANT TO GET THE CATALYTIC CONVERTS REPLACED AT ESTIMATED $2200 AND HAVE THIS PROBLEM RESURFACE AGAIN. IN GEORGIA, WE HAVE ANNUAL EMISSIONS TESTS AND MY VEHICLE WILL NOT PASS AN EMISSIONS TEST. JUST RECENTLY, I HAD TAKEN MY VEHICLE ON A SHORT TRIP TO NORTH GEORGIA. THE ENGINE STALLED AND COMPLETELY LOST POWER. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE HOME

HIGHWAY DRIVING AT 55 MPH THE ENGINE STALLED AND STOPPED IN MID-TRAFFIC RESULTING MULTIPLE SYSTEM LOSS; INCLUDING POWER STEERING. WARNING LIGHTS THAT ILLUMINATED WERE SERVICE ENGINE SOON AND, SLIP. RESEARCHING THIS COMBINATION WITH THE ASSOCIATED ENGINE FAILURE SHOWS A MINIMUM FAILURE OF THE CAM SHAFT SENSOR AND POSSIBLE INTERFERENCE WITH ENGINE COOLING. ADDITIONAL RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THIS A RECALL ISSUE FOR FRONTIERS. BUT, WHEN I ENTERED MY VIN INTO YOUR SYSTEM TO CHECK RECALLS, THE REPONSE IS THAT THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR THIS VEHICLE. THAT SEEMS IN CONFLICT WITH WHAT IS BEING SAID ABOUT THERE BEING A RECALL AND THE OBVIOUS EXTREME DANGER OF ENGINE AND SYSTEM FAILURES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS

I OWN A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER AND AFTER DOING RESEARCH I FOUND THE ARTICLE ABOUT SEVERAL RECALLS FOR 2005-2010 MODELS. THE PERSONS INVOLVED REPORTED THE SAME SYMPTOMS WE ARE EXPERIENCING SUCH AS TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKING INTO THE RADIATOR COOLANT SPONTANEOUSLY AND NOW TRANSMISSION FAILURE WHILE TOWING A POP UP CAMPER THAT IS 3200 LBS WHICH IS WITHIN THE TOWING RANGE REPORTEDLYFOR THIS VEHICLE. I GOT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AND THEY REPORT THEY WILL ONLY COVER UP TO $1900 AND MY MECHANIC STATES THE TOTAL COSTS ARE $4800. I AM VERY CONCERNED MY VEHICLE IS DOING THE SAME. CAN ANYONE HELP US?

WHEN FUEL TANK IS FULL, GAUGE DROPS TO EMPTY UNTIL YOU DRIVE 75-150 MILES, THEN THE NEEDLE REGISTERS NORMAL FOR THE PAST YEAR AND DEALER DIDN'T FIND THE ISSUE. NOW ENGINE LIGHT REGISTERS AND INSPECTION STICKER IS BEING REFUSED.

I JUST HAD TO REPLACE MY TRANSMISSION DUE TO A RECALL. OIL AND WATER IN THE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR. I DID NOT OWN THE TRUCK AT THE TIME OF THE RECALL.. HOW CAN I GET REIMBURSED ??? THIS IS TERRIBLE!!

DRIVERS SEAT BELT HAS BEEN LOOSE. IF THE DRIVER IS IN A CAR CRASH THE SEAT BELT WILL NOT PROTECT DRIVER BECAUSE IT DOES NOT LOCK.

TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS WHEN SHIFTING FROM DRIVE TO OVERDRIVE. AROUND 40-45MPH SHUDDER CAN BE FELT FROM TRANSMISSION VIBRATION. HAD THE DRIVESHAFT REPLACED ($1400) BUT THE SHUDDER IS STILL PRESENT.

WHILE DRIVING TRUCK ON HIGHWAY IT OCCASIONALLY FELT LIKE I WAS DRIVING OVER RUMBLE STRIPS.

THE EVIDENCE OF ENGINE AND POWER TRANSFER EVIDENTLY PROGRESSED OVER OF DAYS AND REGRESSED WITHIN A MATTER OF HOURS, THEN MINUTES TO THE POINT WHERE ENGINE WOULD BARELY START AND OBVIOUSLY BARELY PROPEL THE TRUCK OVER 10 MPH W/ENGINE DYING OUT REGARDLESS OF THROTTLE OR AUTOMATIC SHIFT POSITION. I LIMPED THE VEHICLE TO THE NEAREST RESPECTED AND QUALIFIED TECH BOB WELLS -TOTAL CAR CARE. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME NISSAN'S LACK OF "DUE DILIGENCE" LEFT CUSTOMER DOWN, ALL WITHIN A YEAR OR SO. A FRUSTRATING,TIME CONSUMING,AND COSTLY EXPERIENCE.

I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WHERE MY TRUCK WAS STRUCK FROM BEHIND AND I HIT A MEDIAN GUARDRAIL AT A SPEED OF ABOUT 60 MILES AN HOUR. MY AIR BAG PARTIALLY DEPLOYED. IT NEVER HIT ME AND ONLY INFLATED PARTIALLY AND BURNED MY LEFT ARM. MY SEATBELT SAVED MY LIFE.

HAVING MAJOR ISSUES. NOTICED A RECALL BUT IT WAS ALREADY SETTLED. WHAT CAN I DO? RADIATOR AFFECTING THE TRANSMISSION.

I HAVE A APPARENTLY COMMON PROBLEM WHICH IS RADIATOR TRANSMISSION CROSS CONTAMINATION APPARENTLY WITH NISSAN FRONTIERS AND XTERRAS FROM ABOUT 05-2010 AND THE PROBLEM IS THEY USED A RADIATOR WITH A BUILT IN TRANSMISSION COOLER BUT THERE'S A SEAL OR AREA WHERE IT FAILS AND THE TWO FLUIDS MIX RESULTING IN A STRAWBERRY MILKSHAKE APPEARANCE AND WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE TRANSMISSION WILL LIKELY FAIL AT ANY POINT I'VE PERSONALLY HAD PROBLEMS THAT WERE INTERMITTENT OVER THE LAST FEW WEEKS WITH TROUBLE SHIFTING AND A SHUDDERING/RUMBLING WHICH OCCURS WHILE DRIVING IN ALL WEATHER AND ROAD CONDITIONS PLUS IS VERY NOTICEABLE WHILE GOING FROM A STOP TO START MOVING TURNS OUT TO BE RADIATOR FLUID LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION MY TRUCK HAS 99,000 MILES ON IT AND HAS STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS JUST NOW WHICH ACCORDING TO OTHER ACCOUNTS ON MULTIPLE FORUMS ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM IS A LITTLE LATER THAN MOST BUT I HAVE A SHORT COMMUTE TO WORK AND HAVE ANOTHER CAR I USE. SO PERHAPS IT WAS THAT. BUT THE ISSUES ARE GETTING WORSE AND IT'S A SHAME THAT THE COMPANY KNEW OF THE PROBLEM AND DID NOTHING TO REMEDY IT. ESPECIALLY AS IT AFFECTS MANY YEARS AND MODELS OF CARS

TRANS. WENT OUT DUE TO RADATIOR LEAKING INTO IT, WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO RATTLE AND SHAKE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE DEALER (REED NISSAN, 3776 W COLONIAL DR, ORLANDO, FL 32808) WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 193,000.

FUEL GAUGE RECALL. NISSAN HAS A RECALL ON THE FUEL GAUGE FOR THE 2006 FRONTIER BUT IT DOES NOT INCLUDE MY VIN. MY FUEL GAUGE HAS EXACTLY THE ISSUES IN THE RECALL. MY VIN IS [XXX]. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

LETTING MY FRONTIER MAJOR PROBLEM LAST WEEK 100MILES AWAY FROM HOME FOR WORK. MY FRONTIER WON'T ACCELERATE CUTTING OF SPEED. HAS WEIRD SMELL TO IT.

I DON'T HAVE THESE MONEY, LAST YEAR HAD PROBLEM WITH NISSAN I WENT BOUGHT NEW RAV4 START TELLING MY FRIEND NOW STAY OUT OF NISSAN

TRANSMISSION TCM FRIED BY COOLANT

RADIATOR/COOLANT HAS MIXED INTO TRANSMISSION FLUID CAUSING TRANSMISSION FAILURE.

THE FUEL SENSOR IS NOT RELAYING ACCURATE FUEL LEVELS. WHEN VEHICLE IS NEAR EMPTY TANK THE TANK FUEL GAUGE WILL OFTEN STILL READ 1/4 TANK LEVEL. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINS ON WHICH CODES ALERTED ON DIAGNOSTICS RELAY BACK TO THE SENSOR ISSUE. THE PROBLEMS IS NOW WORSENING WHERE EVEN AT FULL TANK THE GAUGE WILL SOMETIMES INDICATE EMPTY WITH FUEL ALERT LIGHT ON AND TANK JUST TOPPED OFF. THE IMPROPER FUEL INDICATION HAS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO RUN OUT OF FUEL SEVERAL MILES FROM A GAS STATION WHILE STILL SHOWING 1/4 TANK LEVEL. THIS CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS AS BEING STRANDED IN NC IN PEAK OF SUMMER TEMPS OUTSIDE CAN REACH OVER 100 DEGREES. FURTHERMORE STALLING OUT FOR LACK OF FUEL IN BUSY CITY TRAFFIC OR SHARP TURN ON HIGHWAY AT 60-70 MHP CAN LEAD TO A VERY DANGEROUS ACCIDENT.

2006 NISSAN FRONTIER - A DEFECT THAT PERMITS CROSS-CONTAMINATION OF ENGINE COOLANT AND TRANSMISSION FLUID, ULTIMATELY CAUSING THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION TO NEED SUBSTANTIAL REPAIRS OR FAIL ENTIRELY. THE TRUCK WAS IN MOTION ON A HIGHWAY. WHEN ACCELERATING THE TRANSMISSION DID NOT DOWNSHIFT - IT FELT AS IF THE TRANSMISSION WENT INTO NEUTRAL.

BOUGHT A 2006 FRONTIER A YEAR AGO, I WAS UNAWARE OF THE MAJOR DEFECT THEY WERE HAVING WITH THE RADIATOR CRACKING AND MIXING COOLANT WITH TRANNY FLUID. NOW MY TRANSMISSION IS SHOT WITH NO WARNING AND I'LL BE OUT 4/5K !! IT WENT OUT AS I WAS TRYING TO TURN LEFT AND ON COMING TRAFFIC WAS COMING AT ME. I COULD NOT ACCELERATE AS OBVIOUSLY WITHOUT A TRANSMISSION YOUR CAR WONT GO INTO GEAR, JUST A SITTING DUCK WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC BARING DOWN. THANKFULLY THE PEOPLE SPEEDING TOWARDS ME SEEN ME BEFORE I WAS SMASHED INTO AND POSSIBLY KILLED.
