2006 Nissan Frontier complaints

WHEN SET IN D, THE RPM'S DROPPED. NEXT DAY DRIVING 20 SEC. AND LOOSES ALL POWER. CAN SHIFT THE GEAR STICK, BUT THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT ENGAGE. NO AUDIBLE WARNING OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. JUST STOPPED DRIVING. GOT CODE P1759 AND P1769. NEEDS NEW TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR BECAUSE THE COOLANT LEAKED INTO TRANSMISSION. $5500 IS THE QUOTE FROM THE DEALER. *TR

THE RED AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND HAS REMAINED ON. ADDITIONALLY, THE ROUND YELLOW LIGHT ON THE LOWER PART OF THE DASH SHOWS PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAG NOT ON BOTH WHEN OCCUPIED AND UNOCCUPIED. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO HAVE NATIONAL PARTS SHOP CHAINS ATTEMPT TO DETERMINE THE REASON, BUT THEY ALL SAY THEY CANNOT DO SO. THE DEALER'S COST FOR ANY READOUTS IS ALWAYS COST PROHIBITIVE. *TR

THE VEHICLE STRUGGLE TO ACCELERATE WHEN PRESSING ON THE ACCELERATOR. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER THAT IS HAVING COMPLETE TRANSMISSION FAILURE DUE TO THE KNOWN ISSUE OF RADIATOR FLUID CONTAMINATING THE LINES TO THE TRANSMISSION AND CAUSING INTERNAL FAILURE. I HAVE BEEN QUOTED $5,000 IN REPAIRS FOR THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION. THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST NISSAN FOR THIS VERY ISSUE FOR SEVERAL MODELS. THE DEALERSHIP ACKNOWLEDGED THE LAWSUIT, HOWEVER, SAID A SETTLEMENT OR RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED AT THIS POINT AND THEY COULD NOT DISCUSS IT ANY FURTHER WITH ME. THEY SUGGESTED I TRADE THE CAR IN AND BUY ANOTHER FROM THEM, EVEN SUGGESTING ANOTHER FRONTIER. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER AND FOR THE LAST 9 OR 10 MONTHS IT BECOMES "HERKY-JERKY" AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. I ONLY DRIVE THIS VEHICLE IN THE WINTER SO YESTERDAY I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND TODAY THEY INFORMED ME THE COOLANT HAD LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THE COST FOR THE REPAIR IS $6500. I ASKED THEM IF THIS WAS SOMETHING NORMAL AND THEY SAID IT WAS UNUSUAL. I DID SOME CHECKING ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND OUT THERE WAS A SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT REGARDING THIS DEFECT. OTHER SITES DIRECTED ME TO MAKE A COMPLAINT WITH YOU BECAUSE THIS APPEARS TO BE A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM AND DUE TO THE FACT THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT WAS ESSENTIALLY WORTHLESS. GIVEN THIS I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT WITH YOU IN HOPES THIS WILL TURN INTO A RECALL. ALSO, MADE A CLAIM TODAY WITH NISSAN AND EXPECTING A CASE WORKER TO CALL BACK TOMORROW. IF THEY DO NOT AGREE TO PAY FOR THE COST OF THE DAMAGE I WILL TAKE THEM TO SMALL CLAIMS. OF NOTE, I HAVE ONLY SUED ONE ENTITY BEFORE IN MY LIFE (49YO) AND IT WAS NISSAN BACK IN 1997 AND I WON. IT WAS A DEFECT IN THE WIRING OF MY PREVIOUS FRONTIER. I CAN SAY NISSAN LIKES TO PLAY HARD BALL AND NOT SETTLE OR ADMIT TO ANY OF THEIR FAULTS. I GAVE THEM MORE THAN SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE AND WAS VERY PATIENT IN THIS PRIOR CLAIM, BUT THEY KEPT DENYING. I LEARNED MY LESSON THAT TIME AND THIS TIME I WILL NOT BE SO PATIENT AND WILL INFORM THEM I WILL TAKEN MORE EXPEDITIOUSLY THIS TIME. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THERE WAS A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER STEERING WITHOUT WARNING. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE FAILED TO DISPLAY ACCURATE FUEL LEVELS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS ADVISED THAT THE FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT INSIDE THE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. ALSO, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS ADVISED THAT THE RADIATOR FLUID WAS LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION. AS A RESULT, THE RADIATOR, THE POWER TRANSMISSION, AND STEERING SHAFT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V075000(FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 102,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS WHERE IT WAS STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKED INTO THE RADIATOR AND THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO SHIFT INTO REVERSE, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS ADVISED THAT THE RADIATOR FLUID WAS LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION. AS A RESULT, THE RADIATOR AND THE POWER TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 106,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

MY 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER SE CREW CAB CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AT ABOUT 100,000 MILES. I READ THE CODE AND IT INDICATED THAT AN EMISSION PROBLEM (I.E. A SENSOR OR CATALYTIC ISSUE) WAS THE MATTER. SOON AFTER THE TRUCK BEGAN TO EXHIBIT A STRANGE VIBRATION IN WHAT APPEARED TO BE THE ENGINE SPECIFICALLY AROUND 40-45 MPH. I BROUGHT THE TRUCK IN AT 101,000 MILES TO HAVE IT SERVICED AT THE DEALERSHIP. THEY DETERMINED THAT NOT ONLY DID THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER NEED REPLACING BUT ALSO THERE WAS RADIATOR FLUID IN THE TRANSMISSION AND THE BILL WAS OVER $6,000. I DECLINED THE SERVICE AND IMMEDIATELY CALLED NISSAN NORTH AMERICA. THEY EXPLAINED THAT I WAS 1000 MILES OVER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND WISHED ME TO HAVE A NICE LABOR DAY WEEKEND. *JS

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND NOTICE SMOKE COMING FROM NEAR (IT TURNS OUT IT WAS COMING FROM UNDERNEATH) ABOUT FEW SECONDS LATER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS FLASHING, MY NISSAN PICKUP ENGINE LOST SOME SPEED AND IT APPEARS TO HAVE LOST POWER AS WELL BECAUSE IT WAS NOT ACCELERATING. I TOOK IT FOR INSPECTION TO 2 DIFFERENT AUTO SHOPS LOCALLY AND HAVE GOTTEN THE SAME REPORTS FROM BOTH SHOPS.I HAVE A BAD TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR COOLANT LEAKS SEEMS TO HAVE CAUSED THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE. I HAVE TAKEN MY PICKUP TO NISSAN AFTER LEARNING ABOUT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY TO ROSEVILLE FUTURE NISSAN AND THEY SEEMS HAVE AGREED ABOUT THIS KNOWN ISSUE. THEY SAID NISSAN HAS EXTENDED THE WARRANTY UP TO 100K MILES (SO TECHNICAL IT SHOULD BE COVERED), HOWEVER THEY ARE ASKING FOR 3000K FOR DEDUCTIBLE. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND THEY SAID THEY ARE WAITING FOR COURT TO DECIDE ON THIS KNOWN ISSUE AND WILL NOT BE ABLE TO HELP UNTIL IT'S RESOLVED. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND OUT I WAS NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS ISSUE. PLEASE HELP AND ADVISE IF I NEED TO TAKE ACTION AGAINST NISSAN AS THIS IS CLEARLY A KNOWN ISSUE AND THEY SHOULD NOT BE ASKING FOR 3K.

I GOT A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON MY NISSAN FRONTIER AND BROUGHT IT TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP TO HAVE CHECKED AND WAS TOLD I WOULD NEED TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR BECAUSE ENGINE COOLANT HAS LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND IS DESTROYING THE TRANSMISSION A QUICK SEARCH IT SEEMS THERE ARE HUNDREDS IF NOT MORE OF PEOPLE WITH THIS SAME ISSUE OF NISSAN HAVING A POOR DESIGN AND PUTTING MANY PEOPLE AT RISK BY HAVING THEIR TRANSMISSIONS SEIZE UP AT ANY GIVEN TIME WHILE DRIVING. HAVING COOLANT LEAK INTO THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT A NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR ISSUE AND IS GROSS NEGLIGENCE ON BEHALF OF NISSAN TO IGNORE THIS PROBLEM. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER SE 4X4 CREW CAB WITH 143396 MILES AND GOING ABOUT 40-45 MILES PER HRS I HEAR A CHATTER IN THE REAR OF THE TRUCK. MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH A NISSAN DEALER IN MY AREA AND THE OUT COME WAS .. THE TRUCK NEEDS A TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR REPLACEMENT AND IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY THE REPLACEMENT AT THE DEALER WOULD BE A COST TO ME OF 5132.13 . NISSAN HAD A CLASS ACTION SUITE IN NEW YORK AND THE ONLY WIN FOR US CONSUMERS WAS THAT THEY EXTENDED THE MILEAGE TO 100,000 . I CALLED NISSAN AND WAS INFORMED THAT IF I HAD 120,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK THAT THERE WOULD BE A COVER UNDER THE WARRANTY. NISSAN KNOWS THAT THERE IS A ISSUE WITH TRANNY AND RADIATOR BUT THEY DID NO RECALLS SO NOW WE ARE STUCK. IF YOU ARE ON A FIXED INCOME WHO HAS OVER 5000.00 DOLLARS LAYING A ROUND FOR THIS KIND OF REPAIR . I CAN STILL DRIVE THE TRUCK BUT ITS NOT SAFE IF THE TRANNY SHUTS DOWN ON THE HWY THEN WHAT ? LOOKS LIKE A ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. CANT HAVE THAT . SO THE TRUCK WILL SIT IN MY YARD TILL I GET SOME ANSWERS THAT WILL HELP ME GET THIS ISSUE SOLVED. *TR

AS I BEGAN TO ENTER THE HIGHWAY AND INCREASE SPEED TO ABOUT 65 MPH, I NOTICED WHAT FELT TO BE A SLIP IN GEARS. EACH TIME I DECREASED BY SPEED AND INCREASED OVER 50 MPH, I COULD FEEL THE SAME TYPE OF SLIP. ALTHOUGH I DRIVE MY VEHICLE DAILY, IT IS USUALLY FOR VERY SHORT DISTANCES, AS I AM IN TOWN DRIVING. I HAVE ONLY NOTICED THIS SLIP OF GEARS WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE. TODAY I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSIS. I WAS INFORMED THAT I WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND WOULD HAVE A $2500 DEDUCTIBLE FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE RADIATOR & TRANSMISSION. MY VEHICLE IS PROPERLY MAINTAINED AT RECOMMENDED INTERVALS, WITH LOW MILEAGE. I CAME HOME TO DO SOME RESEARCH AND LEARNED ABOUT THE REPORTED RADIATOR/TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS FOR SOME 2005-2010 NISSAN TRUCK AND SUV MODELS. I DO NOT REMEMBER EVER RECEIVING ANY INFORMATION FROM NISSAN REGARDING THE POTENTIAL TRANSMISSION FAILURE FOR MY MAKE AND MODEL AND I AM DISAPPOINTED TO KNOW THAT A RECALL WAS NOT ISSUED, AS THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. THE SERVICE MANAGER ALSO DID NOT MENTION ANY OF THIS TO ME. THE ONLY THING THAT CLUED ME IN TO AN ISSUE WAS THAT HE MENTIONED "DEDUCTIBLE" AND THAT I WAS JUST ABOUT 3,000 MILES OVER THE WARRANTY. KNOWING THAT A POWER-TRAIN WARRANTY IS USUALLY 36/36000, I STARTED THINKING, HOW COULD I ONLY BE 3,000 MILES OUTSIDE OF THE WARRANTY? NISSAN SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE AS NUMEROUS REPORTS HAVE BEEN MADE. EXTENDING A WARRANTY TO 8/80,000 IS ALSO A JOKE, SINCE MOST OF THE REPORTED ISSUES, HAV

I HAD DRIVEN APROX 20 MILES ON INTERSTATE WHEN I NOTICED WHEN TRUCK SHIFTED BETWEEN 4TH AND OVERDRIVE THE MOTOR WAS RACING. I TURNED OFF CRUISE CONTROL AND TURNED OF THE OVERDRIVE WITH THE TRAILER SWITCH. I STOPPED AT STATION CHECKED FLUIDS BUT EVERYTHING SEEMED OK. WHEN LEAVING STATION THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING WHEN SHIFTING. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT HOME. NEXT DAY TRANSMISSION SHOP TOLD ME TRANSMISSION WOULD NEED TO BE REBUILT. AFTER GOOGLE INFO I TOLD SHOP TO ALSO REPLACE RADIATOR ALSO. I GOT THE TRUCK BACK 2 WEEKS LATER. AFTER 5 DAYS OF DRIVING WHILE TRAVELING HOME FROM JOB. TRANSMISSION LOCKED UP AND TRUCK CAME TO STOP IN MIDDLE OF ROAD. I LOOKED UNDER HOOD AND FOUND OIL IN RADIATOR. THE TRUCK WAS TOWED BACK TO SHOP. COME TO FIND OUT THE SHOP HAD REPLACED WITH USED RADIATOR. THE SAME THING HAD HAPPENED AGAIN WHERE ANTIFREEZE MIXED WITH TRANSMISSION OIL CAUSING EXTENSIVE DAMAGE, STILL IN SHOP AND WAITING ON ITS RETURN. SPENT 12000 ON TRUCK AND IN FIRST MONTH. 400 MILES AND 3000 IN REPAIRS. AND STILL CLIMBING. *TR

TRANSMISSION COOLER FAILED CAUSING COOLANT TO MIX WITH TRANSMISSION FLUID. TRANSMISSION SUBSEQUENTLY FAILED. NISSAN WOULD NOT COVER THE REPAIR EVEN THOUGH THE PROBLEM IS A KNOWN DEFECT. ~$4000 COST OF REPAIR AND AN INDEPENDENT TRANSMISSION SHOP. *TR

WHILST TRYING TO DRIVE FORWARD, THE VEHICLE IS UNABLE TO HAVE ENOUGH MOMENTUM TO DRIVE- IN OTHER WORDS THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY. ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC I BROUGHT IT TO, I WAS ADVISED THAT HE HAS SEEN THIS HAPPEN WITH THIS MAKE/MODEL/YEAR BEFORE AND IT IS CAUSED DUE TO AN ISSUE WITH THE RADIATOR LEAKING ANTI-FREEZE INTO THE TRANSMISSION SYSTEM. *TR

HAD A BAD VIBRATION IN THE DRIVE LINE AT A LOW SPEED. THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE A U-JOINT. BEGAN A SEARCH ON LINE AND FOUND AN ARTICLE ON THE FRONTIER'S ANTI-FREEZE MIXING WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND COOLANT ENTERING THE TRANSMISSION CAUSING FAILURE. I CHECKED THE OVERFLOW TANK AND IT HAD TRANS FLUID ON TOP OF THE COOLANT AND THE RADIATOR HAD A RED FOAM COMING OUT. TOOK IT TO THE NISSAN DEALER AND IT WAS CONFIRMED. *TR

RADIATOR FLUID LEAKED INTO TRANSMISSION DUE TO FAULTY MANUFACTURING CAUSING TRANSMISSION TO BREAK AND BE CHILE TO STALL. *TR

FUEL SENDER ISSUE WAS CAUSING THE FUEL GAUGE TO NOT WORK PROPERLY. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE (10V-075) AND MY VEHICLE APPEARS TO BE COVERED AS IT WAS BUILT IN JANUARY 2006. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. I COULD NOT UNDERSTAND WHY IT WASN'T COVERED AS MY ISSUE WAS EXACTLY WHAT THE RECALL WAS FOR, BUT I NEEDED IT FIXED SO I PAID A TOTAL OF $476.67. I CALLED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS DEPT. AND OPENED A CASE (1121397) AND THEY ASKED ME TO SUBMIT THE BILL I PAID AT THE DEALERSHIP, WHICH I DID, BUT NOW WHEN I CALL THE CHECK ON THE STATUS THEY DON'T ANSWER. VOICEMAILS ARE NOT RETURNED SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON. CAN YOU HELP?? *TR

SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON AND VEHICLE DROVE SLUGGISH. HAD NO POWER. FELT LIKE IT WAS IN LOW GEAR. HAPPENED ALL OF A SUDDEN. NO PRIOR INDICATION OF TROUBLE. ALL FLUID LEVELS AND MAINTENANCE WAS PROPERLY MAINTAINED AT THE APPROPRIATE MILEAGE INTERVALS. *TR

THE TRANSMISSION STOPPED AND MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO FASTER THAN 2 MPH. I COULD NOT GET IT UPHILL. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED. IT WAS CONSTANTLY JUMPING FORWARD PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT. ON THE HIGHWAY IT FELT LIKE IT COULDN'T GET OUT OF GEAR. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTED INTO SECOND GEAR. THE FRONTIER IMMEDIATELY SLOWED DOWN. I WAS DRIVING IN FRONT OF A TRACTOR TRAILER AND JUST MISSED GETTING REAR ENDED. I'VE SINCE FOUND OUT THAT NISSAN HAS BEEN AWARE OF THE RADIATOR LEAKING AND CROSS CONTAMINATING WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND BLOWING OUT THE TRANSMISSION. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION WITH THESE VEHICLES INVOLVED AND NISSAN SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR CORRECTING THEIR DEFECT REGARDLESS OF VEHICLE MILEAGE. THIS VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND FIXED. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT 40-45 MPH I WOULD GET A VERY LOUD HARSH VIBRATION THAT FELT SIMILAR TO DRIVING OVER ONE OF THE WARNING STRIPS ON SIDE OF HIGHWAYS WARNING YOU YOU'RE GOING OFF ROAD. IT ALSO EVENTUAL WOULD BARELY MOVE FROM A STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. TOOK IT TO LOCAL TRANSMISSION REPAIR SHOP THAT INFORMED ME THE COOLANT FROM RADIATOR LEAKED INTO TRANS CAUSING THE FAILURE. LOOKS LIKE I'M GETTING A NEW TRANS AND RADIATOR. NISSAN NEEDS TO RECALL AND REIMBURSE ALL THESE PPL SPENDING THOUSANDS ON WHAT IS OBVIOUSLY A FACTORY DEFECT. I SEE COMPLAINT AFTER COMPLAINT OF THE EXACT PROBLEM I AM HAVING. THANKS A GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE. HOPEFULLY NISSAN DOES THE RIGHT THING. *TR

I BOUGHT A USED 2006 FRONTIER 2 YEARS AGO AND ONLY PUT 20,000 MILES ON IT AND NOW THE COOLANT IS MIXING WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND THEY WANT TO PAY 2500 DOLLARS TO HELP FIX IT. AND THIS BULL CRAP. NISSAN NEEDS TO MAN UP AND STAND BEHIND THERE VEHICLES. DISSATISFIED CUSTOMERS CAN SPREAD THE WORD. NEVER BUY A NISSAN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC STOP, THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESPOND. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THE TRANSMISSION WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE RADIATOR FLUID WAS LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 91,000. *TR

PARKING/EMERGENCY BRAKE DOES NOT STOP OR HOLD CAR ON SLIGHT GRADE. CHECKED AND FOUND AXLE BEARING GREASE LEAKING ONTO DRUM AND BRAKE SHOES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION WHERE THEY STATED THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 87,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

COOLANT HAS ENTERED TRANSMISSION FLUID, THIS CAN CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO BECOME IMMOBILE IN TRAFFIC, INTERSECTIONS, ETC. *TR

HELLO, I HAVE A 2006 FRONTIER ON IT'S WAY TO THE DEALERSHIP RIGHT NOW HAVING THE RADIATOR & TRANSMISSION REPLACED. THAT IS CAUSED FROM THE COOLANT MIXING WITH THE TRANSMISSION. I DON'T KNOW HOW NISSAN CAN SAY THIS ISN'T A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN YOUR VEHICLE CAN STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF HIGHWAY TRAFFIC DUE TO YOUR TRANSMISSION DYING. RECALL NEEDED! THANK YOU! *TR

LAST TIME I CHANGED MY OIL ABOUT A MONTH AGO, THEY WERE CONFUSED AT WHY I HAD OIL IN MY RADIATOR. THEY SAID IT WAS NOT A GOOD SIGN! YESTERDAY WHEN I WAS DRIVING TO WORK, MY TRUCK HAD NO POWER AND IT EVENTUALLY STOPPED MOVING IN THE ROAD. THE TRUCK WAS RUNNING, BUT WOULD NOT ENGAGE IN A GEAR AND MOVE FORWARD. I HAD IT TAKEN TO A LOCAL SHOP TO LOOK IT OVER AND AFTER A TEST DRIVE AND LOOKING AT THE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR FLUIDS, THEY SAID I HAD A CROSS CONTAMINATION OF THE TWO SYSTEMS AND IT CAUSED THE PROBLEM. THEY CALLED THE NISSAN DEALER AND THEY SAID THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND THEY HAVE A LAW SUIT I CAN JOIN TO GET REIMBURSED FOR THE EXPENSE OF REPLACING THE CVT. (CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION) IT WILL COST ABOUT $4,200. I LOOKED ONLINE AND IT LOOKS LIKE NISSAN ALSO HAS AT CVT REPLACEMENT PROGRAM. I WISH I WOULD HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THIS SO I COULD HAVE HAD IT REPLACED AND NOT PUT IN DANGER. *TR

TRANSMISSION HAD BEGUN TO BUMP WHEN CHANGING GEARS. AT TIMES IT WAS HARD SHIFTING. ON 2-10-13 WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, THE TRUCK STARTED TO RUN HOT. I STOPPED AND HAD TO PUT WATER IN THE OVERFLOW TANK. CONTINUED ON THE INTERSTATE AND TRUCK DID NOT RUN HOT ANYMORE. SINCE THEN, THE TRANSMISSION HAS GOTTEN WORSE. SOME TIMES THE TRANSMISSION VIBRATES WHEN CHANGING GEARS. MANY PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

WHEN DRIVING, A "RUMBLING" NOISE WOULD COME AND GO AND A "WHINING" NOISE WHILE ACCELERATING. THE RUMBLING NOISE WAS NOT CONSISTENT BUT WOULD SOUND LIKE A WAS DRIVING ON THE SIDE OF THE ROUND. IT WOULD USUALLY APPEAR AROUND 40-60 MPH WHEN I WOULD LET OFF THE GAS AND "COAST" AND TRY TO PRESS THE GAS AGAIN. I DID NOT KNOW THERE WAS A "WARRANTY EXTENSION". I WAS NOT NOTIFIED. TOOK THE TRUCK INTO THE SHOP ONLY TO FIND OUT MY TRANSMISSION WAS GOING OUT DUE TO THE FACT I HAVE RADIATOR COOLANT (ANTIFREEZE) IN MY TRANSMISSION FLUID; (OVER A GALLON) CAUSE BY A FACTORY DEFECT. SOMETHING TO DO WITH A TRANSMISSION PIECE GOING THROUGH THE RADIATOR AND LEAKING. MILEAGE FOR MY TRUCK IS RIGHT AT 99,800. BARELY MADE THE 100,000 MILES 3000 DOLLAR SO-CALLED NISSAN WARRANTY EXTENSION.. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN I FEEL SOME VIBRATION, DID NOT PAY ATTENTION UNTIL I GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED, I THOUGHT THAT FLUID MAY BE LOW, BUT WHEN I CHECKED I FOUND THAT FLUID WAS DISCOLORED. I TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC AND HE TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE RADIATOR LEAKING IN TRANSMISSION, AND THAT HE HAD SOME OTHER NISSAN TRUCKS SAME YEAR WITH SAME PROBLEM. HE SUGGESTED TO REPLACED RADIATOR AND FLUSH TRANSMISSION, IT COST ME $600.00, BUT NOW MY TRANSMISSION IS GETTING WORSE EVERYDAY AND WORSE OF ALL IS THAT I AM STILL PAYING FOR THIS TRUCK THAT PROBABLY IS GOING TO BREAK DOWN ANY MOMENT. I READ SOME OF THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE AND SCARED ME JUST TO KNOW THAT I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR A TRANSMISSION REPAIR PLUS CONTINUE TO PAY FOR THE LOAN OF THIS TRUCK. AND NISSAN SEEMS LIKE IS DOING NOTHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE SEND ME ANY NOTIFICATION ABOUT A RECALL, I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER REFUELING, THE FUEL GAUGE RAPIDLY REGISTERED THAT THE TANK WAS EMPTY. THE CONTACT TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTED IT AND THE GAUGE SHOWED FULL. THE GAUGE FAILED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED OF A RECALL FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V075000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED BUT STATED THE VIN WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 53,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 56,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND THE CHECK COOLANT LEVEL WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS WHERE THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED THAT COOLANT WAS LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION. AS A RESULT, THE TRANSMISSION AND THE RADIATOR WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE FOR THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE 99,700. *TR

I HAVE A NISSAN FRONTIER THAT HAS HAD FAILED IN A NUMBER OF THINGS WHICH ARE NOT WEAR AND TEAR. THEY ARE DESIGN FLAWS. THE FUEL GAUGE MODULE. THE RADIATOR/TRANSMISSION LEAK FLAW. BECAUSE OF THE DESIGN OF THE RADIATOR, NOW A PERFECTLY WORKING TRANNY NEEDS REBUILT. I ALSO HEAR THE TENSIONER FOR THE TIMING CHAIN IS A DEFECTIVE DESIGN. MY FRONTIER BEGAN FALLING APART BEFORE THE 100.000 MILES WITH DESIGN FLAWS. NISSAN NEVER AGAIN. A SIMPLE WARNING LETTER THAT MY RADIATOR NEEDED A $300 REPAIR WOULD HAVE SAVED ME $4,000 LATER AND NOT LEAVE ME STRANDED IN TRAFFIC. *TR

TRANSMISSION FAILED COMPLETELY WHILE MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING LEAVING HER STRANDED IN A BUSY INTERSECTION. VEHICLE WAS TOWED. TRANSMISSION WAS FOUND TO HAVE RADIATOR FLUID IN IT AS WELL AS TRANSMISSION FLUID IN THE COOLING SYSTEM. AFTER INVESTIGATING THIS ISSUE ON THE INTERNET IT IS OBVIOUS THAT NISSAN HAS BEEN AWARE OF THE ISSUE WITH FAULTY RADIATORS FOR A LONG TIME. (WHEN I WAS STILL UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY.) HAD NISSAN INFORMED OWNERS THIS COULD HAVE RESOLVED WITH A RADIATOR CHANGE THAT I WOULD HAVE GLADLY DONE AT MY EXPENSE. NOW I'M LOOKING AT OVER $4000.00 IN REPAIR COSTS. SHAME ON NISSAN! *TR

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE AND ACCELERATING, THE TRANSMISSION HESITATED TO SHIFT AND THEN JUMPED INTO GEAR CAUSING A LURCH IN THE VEHICLE. *TR

ON MY 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER MY RADIATOR COOLANT MIXED IN WITH MY TRANSMISSION OIL AND IT CAUSED MY TRANNY TO BLOW OUT AND ALSO FOR MY TIMING BELT TO GET MESSED UP AND SO I HAD TO REPLACE MY TRANNY AND RADIATOR AND TIMING BELTS AT A TOTAL OF OVER 4 THOUSAND DOLLARS. I REALLY THINK NISSAN SHOULD MAKE THIS A RECALL REGARDLESS OF YOUR MILEAGE BECAUSE IF THEY DON'T HUNDREDS AND THOUSAND OF PEOPLE WILL STOP BUYING NISSAN. PLEASE INFORM ME OF ANYTHING WITH THE INVESTIGATION WITH NISSAN. *TR

I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN FOR WIPER REPAIR AND THE TECHNICIAN ATTACHED A COMPUTER TO THE VEHICLE AND THE COMPUTER TOLD HIM THE WIPERS WERE FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. THE TECHNICIAN SAID HE COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, THE TECHNICIAN DID NOT TURN THE WIPERS ON TO VISUALLY SEE THE PROBLEM AND DEPENDED ON THE COMPUTER FOR A RESOLUTION. THE SWITCH WAS REPLACED ($500.00) BUT THE PROBLEM REMAINED. A BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM <$700.00 PART>) WAS ORDERED PRIOR TO 25 NOV 2012 AND TO DATE 9 MAR 2013 HAS NOT BEEN RECEIVED. I HAVE DRIVEN FOR 4 MONTHS OF RAIN/SNOW SEASON WITHOUT PROPER WIPER FUNCTIONING. THIS HAS BEEN UNSAFE FOR MYSELF AS WELL AS MY PASSENGERS AS WELL AS OTHERS ON THE ROAD.[XXX] @ NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS HAS NO ETA FOR THE PART, NO ANSWER AS TO WHY THE PART IS NOT AVAILABLE AND DOES NOT KNOW WHAT WILL BE DONE TO COMPENSATE FOR THE DELAY. *TR

THE CLUTCH TO THE 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER FAILED WHILE DRIVING. AN ODOR WAS DETECTED PRIOR TO THE EVENT. WHEN I TRIED TO CHANGE GEARS, THE VEHICLE WOULD NO LONGER MOVE AND THE GEAR STICK MOVED FREELY THROUGHOUT ALL SIX FORWARD PROPELLING GEARS AS WELL AS REVERSE. THE WRITER WAS ON A RURAL ROAD WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND NO OTHER CARS WERE INVOLVED. THE CLUTCH WAS REPLACED. THE EVENT REPEATED APPROX 200 MILES LATER IN NEAR THE SAME LOCATION BY THIS WRITER'S HOME. THE CLUTCH WAS REPLACED. ROUGHLY 150 MILES LATER, THE SMELL PERSISTED (IN THE THIRD CLUTCH). THIS WRITER FILED A COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN AND WAS TOLD TO BRING THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALER IN ORDER TO DIAGNOSE THE CAUSE FOR THE PREMATURE FAILURE OF THE CLUTCH. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO FIND ANYTHING DURING A "VISUAL INSPECTION" IN WHICH THE TRANSMISSION WAS REMOVED TO REVEAL THE PARTS INVOLVED. THIS WRITER WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS CLUTCH MATERIAL ON THE FLYWHEEL WHICH INDICATES THAT THE THIRD CLUTCH IS INDEED BEGINNING TO FAIL. THIS WRITER HAS DRIVEN MANUAL TRANSMISSION FOR 16 YEARS AND HAS ANOTHER VEHICLE WITH 115,000 MILES ON IT. IT HAS THE ORIGINAL CLUTCH IN IT AND THIS WRITER ALONG WITH MY SPOUSE DROVE THIS VEHICLE FOR 90,000. MY FEAR IS THAT THE CLUTCH WILL FAIL ON ONE OF THE RAILROAD CROSSINGS AND I WILL NOT HAVE MUCH TIME TO REMOVE MY CHILDREN FROM THEIR CAR SEATS. THE CLUTCH IN THE FRONTIER IS THE SAME CLUTCH THAT IS USED IN THE NISSAN XTERRA OF THE SAME YEAR AND MAKE. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM

WHEN YOU PUT GAS IN THE VEHICLE THE GAS GAUGE DOESN'T WORK, GOES TO EMPTY WITH THE WARNING LIGHT COMING ON AND SHORTLY AFTER THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ONE. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU PUT IN 1 GALLON OF GAS OR IF YOU FILL UP THE TANK. THE FUEL SENDING UNIT FAILS, NISSAN DEALER SAID THEY ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE BUT ITS NOT A RECALL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME EXTREMELY LOOSE WHEN DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE STEERING COLUMN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE STEERING COLUMN WAS UNDER WARRANTY, BUT THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED THAT THEY WOULD NOT PAY FOR THE REPAIR. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 84,396.

I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED WITH ROUGHLY 92,700 MILES FROM A REPUTABLE, LOCAL, HIGH VOLUME DEALER. WITHIN A WEEK OF OWNING THE VEHICLE I FELT A "SHUDDER," AS IF DRIVING OVER A RUMBLE STRIP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, WHILE CRUISING AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH IN TOP GEAR ON THE HIGHWAY. FELT THE SAME SENSATION ONE WEEK LATER AND AGAIN APPROXIMATELY ONE MONTH AGO. THESE "SHUDDERS" WERE FEW AND FAR BETWEEN BUT CONSISTENT IN FEELING AND DURATION, ONLY LASTING A SECOND OR SO. WHILE DOING AN OIL CHANGE AND FLUID CHECK ON 2-7-2013 AND APPROXIMATELY 94,700 MILES, I FOUND THE COOLANT IN MY RADIATOR AND OVERFLOW TANK TO BE A PINK, EVEN BORDERING ON PURPLE, IN COLOR AND ABOUT THE SAME CONSISTENCY AS HEAVY WHIPPING CREAM YOU WOULD PURCHASE FROM THE GROCERY STORE. I IMMEDIATELY ARRANGED FOR THE VEHICLE TO BE DIAGNOSED AT THE DEALERSHIP OF PURCHASE THE NEXT MORNING AND THE THREE YEAR EXTENDED POWER TRAIN WARRANTY DICTATED SUCH. THE SERVICE SHOP'S DIAGNOSIS CONFIRMED THE RESEARCH I HAD FOUND LINKING THE DISCREPANT COOLANT IN MY RADIATOR TO BE FROM A DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION COOLER LINE/COIL INSIDE THE BOTTOM OF THE RADIATOR THAT WAS LEAKING TRANSMISSION FLUID INTO MY RADIATOR. THUS, NOT RECIRCULATING THE PROPER AMOUNT OF TRANSMISSION FLUID, IF AT ALL, BACK INTO MY TRANSMISSION CAUSING IT TO FAIL AND WAS "SHUDDERING" AS A SIDE EFFECT. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAS TOLD ME THAT BECAUSE MY VEHICLE WAS PAST THE 80,000 MILE MARK AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT, NISSAN WOULD REQUIRE A $3,000 DEDUCTIBLE TO REPL

2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO SEVERAL VEHICLE RECALL NOTICES AND OTHER MECHANICAL FAILURES. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED HIS VEHICLE SHOWED SIGNS OF ENGINE PROBLEMS, THE SECOND YEAR AFTER HE PURCHASED IT. WHEN THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR THE FUEL SYSTEM RECALL, HE WAS INFORMED THE VEHICLE HAD AN OIL LEAK, AND THE ENGINE WAS BAD AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, AFTER ONLY HAVING THE VEHICLE FOR THREE YEARS. THE CONSUMER STATED THE GAS GAUGE HAS SINCE STOPPED WORKING AGAIN. THE ENGINE STALLED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE CONSUMER STATED HE HAS SINCE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE REGARDING THE ENGINE. THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, TO HAVE THE RECALL PERFORMED. HOWEVER, THE DEALER STATED AFTER THE REPAIRS WERE COMPLETED, THERE WAS STILL A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE, BUT IT WAS NOT A PART OF THE RECALL.

TRANSMISSION BEGAN STUTTERING AND SHIFTING POORLY AT ABOUT 114,000 MILES. THIS IS A TYPICAL SYMPTOM FOR A PROBLEM NISSAN HAS KNOWN ABOUT FOR SOME TIME. A FAILURE IN THE RADIATOR ALLOWS ENGINE COOLANT TO MIX WITH TRANSMISSION FLUID - DESTROYING THE TRANSMISSION. SO FAR IT HAS COST ME $1000 TO HAVE THE RADIATOR REPLACED AND THE TRANSMISSION DRAINED AND REFILLED. $11/QUART FOR SPECIAL NISSAN TRANNY FLUID. I EXPECT I MAY HAVE CAUGHT THE PROBLEM EARLY ENOUGH TO AVOID MAJOR TRANSMISSION DAMAGE, BUT WILL ONLY USE THE TRUCK FOR LOCAL TRIPS NOW. THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE AND NISSAN HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR REPAIRS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION COOLING SYSTEM FAILED AND ALLOWED RADIATOR FLUID TO LEAK INTO THE TRANSMISSION CAUSING IT TO FAIL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED AT OWNER'S EXPENSIVE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 111,500.

THE SEAL BETWEEN THE ENGINE COOLANT AND TRANSMISSION FLUID PORTIONS OF THE RADIATOR FAILS, CONTAMINATING THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WITH COOLANT WATER. CAUSING MY ENGINE TO SLIP WHEN CHANGING 1ST AND 2ND GEAR. I JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WHEN I RECEIVED A LETTER THAT THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. NISSAN KNEW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND FAIL TO NOTIFY OWNER OF THE THIS PROBLEM IN A TIMELY MATTER. IF I HAD KNOWN THIS PROBLEM THEN I WOULD HAVE REPLACE THE RADIATOR INSTEAD OF HAVING TO REPLACE MY WHOLE TRANSMISSION CAUSING ME THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. *TR
