2006 Nissan Frontier complaints

THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN COMPROMISED DUE TO A FAULTY RADIATOR. THE RADIATOR LEAKED COOLANT INTO THE TRANSMISSION CONTAMINATING THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. I NOTICED THE VEHICLE WOULD OCCASIONALLY SHUDDER AND WHEN I HAD IT CHECKED OUT DISCOVERED THE PROBLEM. HARD TO BELIEVE NISSAN DID PRACTICALLY NOTHING TO NOTIFY OWNERS OF THE PROBLEM BECAUSE IT SURE WAS EVIDENT THAT THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AS WELL AS A COUPLE OF TRANSMISSION SHOPS I'VE VISITED. *TR

CAMSHAFT SENSORS (CPS?) REPLACED TODAY AT DEALER. FRIDAY MY TRUCK STALLED AS I PULLED INTO A HIGHWAY AT NIGHT. ALMOST GOT BROADSIDED BY TRACTOR TRAILOR TRUCK. THESE SENSOR FAILURES CAUSE A RAPID STALL UNDER POWER AND HARD STARTING AFTER THE STALLS. LAST MONTH I HAD THE CRANKSHAFT SENSORS REPLACED AS WELL. BEFORE THAT THE IPDM RELAY RECALL GAVE ME PROBLEMS. I'M STILL FIGHTING TO GET MY FUEL SENDING UNIT REPLACED (NISSAN WILL ONLY COVER CUSTOMERS THAT SPEND A LOT OF MONEY AT THE DEALERS, I WAS TOLD THIS BY NISSAN!). I'VE HAD THE REAR END, TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR, DRIVESHAFT AND PROPELLER SHAFT REPLACED DUE TO FAILED U-JOINTS. AXLE SEALS (ON THE NEW REAR) ARE LEAKING AGAIN I UNDERSTAND A CLOGGED VENT MAY BE TO BLAME. TIRE PRESSURE SENSORS ARE SHOT AND CATALYTIC CONVERTERS SHOT. GET THIS COMPANY TO RECALL SOME OF THIS STUFF AND FORCE THEM TO PAY TO FIX THIS JUNK BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED! *TR

RADIATOR FAILED CAUSING ANTIFREEZE TO ENTER THE TRANSMISSION, AND TRANSMISSION FLUID TO ENTER THE RADIATOR. *TR

HASN'T HAPPENED YET, BUT FROM ALL THE COMPLAINTS FROM 2005-2010 NISSAN PATHFINDER, XTERRA AND FRONTIER OWNERS CONCERNING MAJOR TRANSMISSION FAILURES WHILE DRIVING DUE TO CROSS CONTAMINATION FROM A FAILED TRANSMISSION FLUID LINE RUNNING THROUGH THE RADIATOR, IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME. THIS DEFECT HAS BEEN KNOWN BY NISSAN FOR YEARS AND AS A BAND-AID SOLUTION OFFERED EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERAGE FOR THESE SPECIFIC COMPONENTS TO 8 YEARS/80,000 MILES, KNOWING FULL WELL MOST PROBLEMS HAVE A RECORD OF OCCURRING JUST AFTER 100,000 MILES. CLASS ACTION LAW SUITS AGAINST NISSAN FOR THIS DEFECT ARE NOW PENDING IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK. THIS DEFECT AND NISSAN'S LACK OF CONCERN FOR PREVENTATIVE ACTION PLACED THIS IN THE 2ND WORST PROBLEM ON CARCOMPLAINTS.COM TOP VEHICLE PROBLEM TRENDS OF 2012 LIST. AS MORE AND MORE OF THESE MODEL YEARS APPROACH 100,000 MILES, MORE AND MORE CATASTROPHIC FAILURES WITH POTENTIAL FOR INJURY AND LOSS OF LIFE WILL OCCUR. REPAIR AFTER THE FAILURE IS QUITE EXPENSIVE; ENOUGH TO WARRANT SCRAPPING THE VEHICLE FOR THOSE THAT CAN'T AFFORD THE REPAIR BILL. TIME TO HOLD NISSAN ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE PROBLEM THEY HAVE CREATED AND ALLOWED THE PUBLIC TO BEAR RESPONSIBILITY FOR. A RECALL OF ALL AFFECTED MODELS TO INSTALL AN IMPROVED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION LINE IN THE OIL COOLER OR REROUTING THE LINE TO A DIFFERENT ADD-ON OIL COOLER IS NEEDED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO VIBRATE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSION LINES AND RADIATOR FLUID LEAKED AND CAUSED CROSS CONTAMINATION INTO THE TRANSMISSION. THE MECHANIC SUGGESTED THEY CUT THE TRANSMISSION FLUID LINE SO IT WOULD GO DIRECTLY INTO THE TRANSMISSION FLUID COOLER; HOWEVER, IT CAUSED THE REAR END OF THE VEHICLE TO VIBRATE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 96,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 102,000.

2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO CATASTROPHIC TRANSMISSION FAILURE. *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED WHILE TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH FROM HOME, THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP, WHERE AN INSPECTION REVEALED RADIATOR FLUID AND TRANSMISSION FLUID MIXED TOGETHER.

I PURCHASED MY TRUCK WITH ABOUT 1900 MILES ON IT. I WAS A VERY PROUD OWNER, DOING EVERYTHING IN MY POWER TO KEEP MY TRUCK DEPENDABLE AND RELIABLE BY GETTING ALL SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE PLUS PREVENTATIVE CARE. HOWEVER, ONE MORNING I TRIED STARTING MY TRUCK FOR WORK AND IT WASN'T CRANKING. UNFORTUNATELY, I DECIDED TO TAKE MY TRUCK TO A SMALL MECHANIC SHOP AND I WITNESSED THEM START AN ENGINE FIRE THAT DAMAGED THE WIRE HARNESS. I QUICKLY TOOK MY TRUCK OUT OF THIS MECHANICS SHOP AND TOWED IT TO THE NISSAN SERVICE DEPARTMENT. I ASKED THE SERVICE ADVISOR TO REPAIR THE WIRE HARNESS AND TO FIND OUT WHY MY TRUCK IS NOT CRANKING. THE SERVICE ADVISOR EXPLAINED TO ME THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE BECAUSE OF A PROBLEM OF COOLANT LEAKING INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION WHICH WILL DAMAGE THE COMPUTER COMPONENT CAUSING THE TRUCK NOT TO START OR CRANK. THE SERVICE ADVISOR THEN CONTINUED TO TELL ME THAT MY TRUCK IS NO LONGER COVERED FOR THE REPAIRS BECAUSE I EXCEEDED THE ALLOWED MILEAGE TO REPAIR THE FACTORY DEFECT AND I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS OUT OF POCKET WHICH TOTAL MORE THEN WHAT THE TRUCK IS WORTH. THE SERVICE ADVISOR ALSO REVEALED THAT I SHOULD HAVE RECEIVED A LETTER WITH DETAILS OF THE RECALL, BUT I NEVER RECEIVED IT BECAUSE IT WENT TO THE PREVIOUS OWNER. I WAS CONFIDENT IN PURCHASING A NISSAN TRUCK AND INVESTED ALL OF MY MONEY TOWARD ONE HOPING THIS WOULD BE MY ONLY VEHICLE PURCHASE FOR AT LEAST 10 YEARS BUT NOW I HAVE LESS THAN A YEAR OF PAYMENTS LEFT AND A VEHICLE THAT DOESN'T RUN

MY FUEL GAUGE REGISTERED EMPTY SO A WENT TO PUT GAS IN AND IT WAS NEARLY FULL. THEY TOLD ME I NEEDED A BATTERY. I WAS UNDER WARRANTY AT THE TIME. NOW OUT OF WARRANTY AND 3 BATTERIES LATER, MY GAUGE IS BROKE AGAIN. I HAVE SENT EMAILS AND LETTERS TO NISSAN AND GET NO REPLY. I WILL PROBABLY NEVER BUY ANOTHER NISSAN AS MUCH AS I DO LIKE THIS TRUCK. *TR

FUEL GAUGE SHOW EMPTY WHEN IT HAS A FULL TANK.. FUEL GAUGE WILL SLOWLY GET UP TO FULL AND THEN WON'T DROP BELOW A QUARTER OF A TANK. YOU HAVE NO CLUE HOW MUCH GAS IS IN THE VEHICLE. LOOKS LIKE THERE ARE A TON OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME THING ONLINE. FAULTY FUEL SENDING UNIT LOOKS LIKE THE CAUSE. *TR

FUEL GAUGE SHOWS 1/4 TANK BUT RAN OUT OF GAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. THERE IS A NISSAN RECALL (RECALL PC042 - FUEL GAUGE INACCURACY) BUT DEALER REFUSES TO REPAIR, STATING MY VIN DOES NOT SHOW TO BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR ARE LISTED IN THE RECALL. NISSAN CASE # [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, HE HEARD A WHINING NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE WHILE ACCELERATING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN GUIDE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALLS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 44,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 45,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

FUEL GAUGE BEGAN TO MALFUNCTION, SHOWING AND IMPROPER AMOUNT OF FUEL IN THE TANK. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON. FUEL GAUGE REGISTERS INCORRECT LEVEL AFTER FUELING UP THE VEHICLE. I HAVE RAN OUT OF GAS ON ONE OCCASION DUE TO THIS. I WAS ON THE SIDE OF A BUSY INTERSTATE WITH MY 6 YR OLD AND HAD TO CROSS THE INTERSTATE TO GET ASSISTANCE. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN. NISSAN TELLS ME THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AND IF I WANT TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE IT WILL BE AT MY OWN EXPENSE. THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH NISSAN FUEL SENDING UNITS ON THE FRONTIER AND SHOULD BE FIXED IN A NATIONWIDE RECALL, NOT A VIN SPECIFIC RECALL. THE PRODUCT IS FAULTY. NISSAN AND NHTSA SHOULD BOTH BE ASHAMED FOR NOT PUTTING OUT A NATIONWIDE RECALL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUSES LOCATED IN THE IPDM MALFUNCTIONED, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STALL WHILE THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 32 MPH. THE CONTACT HAD A MECHANIC PERFORM A DIAGNOSTIC TEST WHICH DETERMINED THAT THE FUSE BOX NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT DID NOT TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 118,000.

2006 NISSAN FRONTIER LE 4X4. FUEL GAUGE IS NOT READING ACCURATELY. THIS CAUSED ME TO RUN OUT OF GAS ON NOVEMBER 14TH, 2012, WHEN THE GAUGE WAS WELL ABOVE THE "LOW GAS" THRESHOLD. IT WAS A VERY SCARY EXPERIENCE FOR ME AS I WAS IN TRAFFIC AT THE TIME WHEN THE ENGINE STALLED AT AROUND 40MPH. I FEAR THIS COULD HAPPEN AGAIN AND NOW I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE WITH MY GRANDKIDS IN MY TRUCK. I RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM AND TRACED IT TO A COMMON DEFECT WITH THE FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT THAT IS A SAFETY RECALL WHICH AFFECTS MANY NISSAN VEHICLES, INCLUDING 2006 FRONTIER MODELS BUT SOMEHOW EXCLUDING MY 2006 FRONTIER: **************** NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10V075000 RECALL DATE: 2010-03-03 SUMMARY: NISSAN IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2006 AND MODEL YEAR 2008 FRONTIER, XTERRA AND PATHFINDER VEHICLES. THE MOLDED FUEL TANK SHELLS CAN DEFORM, CAUSING THE FUEL SENDER FLOAT ARM TO CONTACT AN EMBOSSMENT MOLDED INTO THE TANK SHELL CAUSING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FUEL GAUGE TO SHOW THAT THE VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY ONE QUARTER TANK WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS EMPTY. CONSEQUENCES: THIS COULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO RUN OUT OF GAS AND STALL IN TRAFFIC, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. REMEDY: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT INSIDE THE FUEL TANK WITH A NEW ONE THAT HAS A MODIFIED FLOAT ARM. THIS SERVICE WILL BE PERFORMED FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN ON OR BEFORE MARCH 22, 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261. COMPONENT AFFECTED: FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:A

WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE A WHINING CLICKING NOISE IS NOTICEABLE UNTIL VEHICLE IS AT NORMAL OPERATING TEMPERATURE . AFTER INVESTIGATING THIS PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET I LEARNED THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED OCCURRENCE AND NISSAN MOTOR CORPORATION IS WELL AWARE THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURES DEFECT IN THERE V6 MOTORS AT THE TIMING CHAIN GUIDES BUT REFUSES TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY TO ADDRESS AND FIX THIS PROBLEM AND EXPECTS THE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE TO PAY FOR NISSAN MOTOR CORPORATION DEFECTIVE TIMING CHAIN GUIDES THAT END UP DROPPING DOWNWARD OUT OF THEIR ORIGINAL POSITION THAT CAUSES TIMING CHAIN FAILURE . I PAID 24000 DOLLARS FOR THIS TRUCK BRAND NEW FROM METRO NISSAN IN ONTARIO CALIF, FOR THAT KIND OF MONEY NISSAN SHOULD TREAT THERE CUSTOMERS BETTER AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THERE MISTAKES AND BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE TO FIX THIS DEFECT.. I WILL NEVER BY A NISSAN AGAIN AND I WILL NEVER RECOMMEND PURCHASING A NISSAN TO ANYONE IF THIS DOESN'T BECOME A RECALL! *TR

MECHANIC STATED ANTIFREEZE IS LEAKING INTO TRANSMISSION. REPLACED RADIATOR, FLUSHED TRANSMISSION. *TR

CLUTCH FAILED SUDDENLY ON AN I-95 ONRAMP, TOTAL FAILURE INCLUDING FLYWHEEL. JUST THIS MONDAY, MY TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY DISCONNECTED FROM THE ENGINE AT ABOUT 70MPH ON I-676 IN CENTER CITY PHILADELPHIA AS A RESULT OF ANOTHER CLUTCH FAILURE. I'VE BEEN DRIVING STICK MY ENTIRE LIFE AND THIS KIND OF SUDDEN FAILURE WITHOUT WARNING DOES NOT STRIKE ME AS NORMAL. ALSO, I HAVE THE FUEL GAUGE ISSUE WHERE IT FAILS TO CORRECTLY REGISTER THE AMOUNT OF GAS IN MY TANK. I'M THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS TRUCK AND I WISH I WASN'T. *TR

2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. FILLED THE GAS TANK AND THE GAUGE STAYED ON 1/4. WHEN I DROVE THE VEHICLE AGAIN, THE GAS TANK GAUGE WENT UP TO 3/4, BUT I'M NOT CERTAIN IF THE 3/4 IS ACCURATE. THIS NOW HAPPENS ON EVERY GAS FILL UP. FOUND A RECALL NOTICE ONLINE (LISTED BELOW). I CALLED MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER AND THEY INDICATED MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. I CALL NISSAN, AND THEY STATED THE SAME THING AND INFORMED ME NHTSA DECIDES WHAT VIN NUMBER IS PART OF THE RECALL AND IT'S OUT OF NISSAN'S HANDS. AND, VOLUNTEERED THEY DID NOT HAVE CONTACT INFORMATION FOR NHTSA. NICE CUSTOMER SERVICE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE FAILED TO DISPLAY ACCURATE FUEL LEVELS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHO CONFIRMED THAT THE FUEL SENDING UNIT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE VIN FAILED TO QUALIFY FOR REPAIRS UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10V075000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:AUXILIARY TANK).

I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN ACROSS TRAFFIC IN MY 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER WHEN I LOST ALL FORWARD MOMENTUM IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. THE TRUCK FELT LIKE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL AND WOULD NOT GO INTO GEAR. I WAS STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION BLOCKING TRAFFIC FOR ABOUT 15 SECONDS WHILE CARS HONKED AND WENT AROUND ME. AFTER ABOUT 15 SECONDS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND IT JERKED INTO GEAR. I HAD THE CODE CHECK AND THEY SAID IT WAS A FAULT IN THE TRANSMISSION. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT ABOUT THE FAULTY RADIATOR PROBLEM THAT COULD ALLOW COOLANT INTO TRANSMISSION. I CHECKED MY COOLANT FOR SIGNS AND SURE ENOUGH I HAD GREY SLUDGE FLOATING ALL IN MY COOLANT WHICH IS A SIGN OF CROSS CONTAMINATION. I CALLED A LOCAL AAMCO (TRANSMISSION MECHANIC) TO ASK HIM ABOUT IT AND HE KNEW ALL ABOUT THE ISSUE AND SAID HE REBUILDS AT LEAST ONE NISSAN TRANSMISSION A WEEK DUE TO COOLANT DESTROYING THE TRANSMISSION. HE RECOMMENDED THAT I BYPASS THE RADIATOR COOLER RIGHT AWAY AND CHANGE THE TRANSMISSION FLUID IN ORDER TO REDUCE DAMAGE. HE SAID THAT SINCE IT HAS ALREADY SHOWN SINCE OF CONTAMINATION THAT IT WAS JUST A MATTER OF TIME IT FAILED AGAIN AND FOR GOOD. HE SAID A REBUILD WOULD COST BETWEEN $3K & $4K, WHICH IS SOMETHING I CANNOT AFFORD. I AM SCARED EVERY TIME I HAVE TO CROSS TRAFFIC THAT IT WILL FAIL AND I WILL BE IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. WHY WOULD NISSAN IGNORE FIXING THIS ISSUE WHILE IT WAS MINOR AND ALLOW ITS CUSTOMERS THE POSSIBILITY OF BEING IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT MUCH LESS MAK

MY 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF FIRST GEAR IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. (LATTER IT WOULD NOT GO INTO REVERSE.) I PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE, DECIDED TO TRY AND NURSE IT IN FIRST GEAR UNTIL I GOT IT HOME. IT SEEM TO WORK FINE. MY UNDERSTANDING AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET THERE IS A KNOW PROBLEM WITH NISSAN FRONTIER AND COOLANT GETTING INTO THE TRANSMISSION. *TR

COOLANT FRON RADIATOR ENTERED TRANSMISSION CAUSING SHUTTERING. VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT TO NISSAN FOR REPAIR. ENGINE COOLANT HAD ENTERED THE TRANSMISSION CAUSING FAILURE TO TRANSMISSION. COOLANT SYSTEM WAS REPLACED AND TRANSMISSION WAS FLUSHED. AFTER 5000 MILES THE TRANSMISSION HAD COMPLETELY FAILED. THE FAILURE OCCURED WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP SIGN IN A DANGEROUS INTERSECTION. THE VEHICLE WAS STUCK IN 4'TH GEAR. I ACCELERATED FROM THE STOP SIGN BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD BARELY MOVE LEAVING ME EXPOSED IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION. A VEHICLE ALMOST T-BONED ME AS IT CAME AROUND THE BLIND CORNER. NISSAN HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS DEFECT FOR A LONG TIME. IF I HAD KNOWN I COULD HAVE REPLACED THE COOLANT SYSTEM BEFORE IT ENTERED THE TRANSMISSION. NOW I AM STUCK WITH A BILL OF MORE THAN $5000 AFTER ALREADY SPENDING $2000 ON A NEW COOLANT SYSTEM AND NUMEROUS TRANSMISSION FLUSHES. IN MY OPINION NISSANS NEGLECT IN NOTIFYING AND REMEDYING THIS DEFECT IS PLACING ITS CUSTUMERS AT GREAT RISK OF INJURY AND DEATH DUE TO THIS SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER.

MY NISSAN WAS HAVING ISSUES SO I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC. HE INFORMED ME THAT NISSAN WAS HAVING AN ISSUE WITH A PART THAT WORE OUT AND LEAKED COOLANT INTO TRANSMISSION AND TRANSMISSION FLUID INTO THE RADIATOR. I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF IT WAS RECALLED. THEY INFORMED ME I WAS A FEW THOUSAND MILES OVER MY WARRANTY AND THEY COULD DO NOTHING. I THEN SAW THE MULTITUDE OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND THE DEALERSHIP SAID NISSAN PAID FOR SOME VEHICLES OUT OF WARRANTY. THAT ALONE PROVES THEY KNEW ABOUT THIS ISSUE. I PAID FOR A NEW RADIATOR ($600) AND HOPED FOR THE BEST WITH MY TRANSMISSION. I AM IN THE NAVY SO I CAN'T AFFORD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. NOW MY LUCK HAS RUN OUT AND I CAN NO LONGER DRIVE MY VEHICLE. I HAVE A 3 MONTH OLD AT HOME AND NEED TO HAVE TWO CARS FOR MY WIFE. THIS IS AN ISSUE NISSAN KNOWS ABOUT AND IT IS DUE TO A FAULTY PART THEY INSTALLED. IT COULD HAVE BEEN FIXED AHEAD OF TIME AND SOLVED A LOT OF ISSUES. WHEN IS THERE GOING TO BE A RECALL? PEOPLE ARE GETTING STRANDED AND NISSAN AND THE GOVERNMENT KNOWS. DOES SOMEONE NEED TO DIE FOR YOU TO NOTICE AND ACT? IT WOULD SEEM THAT PEOPLE BEING STRANDED AND SPENDING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS BECAUSE OF A MANUFACTURING DEFECT IS NOT ENOUGH. I NEED TO KNOW IF I HAVE TO GO TRY TO BUY ANOTHER CAR OR WAIT AND HOPE MY GOVERNMENT PROTECTS US. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 38 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP WHERE THEY STATED THAT THE CORE IN THE RADIATION FAILED AND THE ANTI-FREEZE HAD SPILLED INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND DESTROYED IT. CONSEQUENTLY, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

MY 5-SPEED AUTOMATIC 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER'S RADIATOR COOLER TANK RUPTURED FORCING COOLANT INTO THE TRANSMISSION THROUGH THE TRANSMISSION COOLER LINES CAUSING "CATASTROPHIC FAILURE" AT 92000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER (12000 MILES OUTSIDE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE FAULTY RADIATOR). THIS IS APPARENTLY AN "UNCOMMON", BUT KNOWN PROBLEM WITH NISSAN TRUCK AND SUV MODELS. I WAS TRAVELING AT 65 MPH ON INTERSTATE 70 NEAR FREDERICK, MARYLAND WHEN THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE OCCURRED. I LOST ALL FORWARD MOMENTUM BUT WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER THE TRUCK TO THE SHOULDER BEFORE CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. I HAD IT CHECKED BY AN INDEPENDENT SHOP IN MOUNT AIRY, MARYLAND AND THEY QUOTED THE REPLACEMENT OF THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION AT $4350. AFTER MAKING INQUIRES WITH THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW IN 2006, THEIR INITIAL ESTIMATE WAS BETWEEN ROUGHLY $6000 - $10000 FOR REPLACEMENT OF THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION! THEY WERE ABLE TO NEGOTIATE DOWN WITH NISSAN CORPORATE AND THE FINAL COST OF REPLACEMENT OF THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION WAS $3000. MY TRANSMISSION FAILED WITHOUT ANY SIGN OR WARNING AT 65 MPH ON A 3 LANE INTERSTATE - THE FINANCIAL BURDEN TO FIX THE PROBLEM HURTS, BUT IT COULD HAVE GONE MUCH WORSE. *TR

TRANSMISSION/RADIATOR FAILURE RESULTING IN MIXED TRANSMISSION FLUID AND COOLANT. I HAVE JUST DISCOVERED THIS SINCE I WAS HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND A QUICK FIX IF I HAD JUST KNOWN ABOUT IT. MANY ARE BYPASSING THE TRANSMISSION COOLER DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. A QUICK INTERNET SEARCH SHOWS THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND PERVASIVE. *TR

BEEN SMELLING GAS FOR OVER A YEAR. THEN DRIVING HOME ON 07/05/2012 FUEL PUMP STARTED SPEWING GAS TOOK 18 GALLONS GAS TO DRIVE 10 MILES BEFORE I NEW WHAT WAS GOING ON . FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLEY HAS MULTIPLE STRESS FRACTURES ALL OVER THE TOP AND FITTINGS THAT HAVE BEEN THERE FOR A LONG TIME PROBABLE FROM NEW. NISSAN WILL NOT FIX. SAYS MY VIN IS NOT IN THE RECALL . I HAVE THE FUEL PUMP WITH PHOTOS OF THE STRESS FRACTURES THANKS. *TR

STEERING WHEEL HAS BECOME VERY LOOSE (1" PLAY IN ALL DIRECTIONS) RESULTING IN DIFFICULTY AT TIMES CONTROLLING THE VEHICLE (APPEARS THE INTERNAL BEARINGS OR SIMILAR MECHANISM HAS FAILED). I FEAR THIS MAY LEAD TO A CRASH DUE TO INABILITY TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. *JS

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SLIPPED WHEN CHANGING GEARS. ALSO IT FELT AS IF I WAS DRIVING OVER GROVES IN THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC WHO INFORMED ME OF MULTIPLE PROBLEMS WITH THE RADIATOR LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND THAT I WAS 4K MILES OVER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. I NEVER EVEN KNEW I HAD AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, I GUESS NISSAN DIDN'T WANT TOO MANY PEOPLE TO KNOW EVEN THOUGH MY VEHICLE IS REGISTERED WITH THEM. MY MECHANIC SAID THIS PROBLEM WAS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE NISSAN DESIGN AND SINCE IT WAS PAST THE 80K MILE WARRANTY IT WAS NOT COVERED. RADIATOR WAS REPLACED. I CALLED THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY WOULD NOT EXTEND OR HONOR ANY WARRANTY. MY MECHANIC TOLD ME TO WATCH MY TRANSMISSION, BECAUSE THAT WILL BE THE NEXT TO GO. MY ONLY HOPE IS NISSAN DOES THE RIGHT THING (FORCED IF NECESSARY) AND REPAIRS OR REPLACES WHAT IS CLEARLY A FAULTY DESIGN. THIS HAS THE POSSIBILITY OF CAUSING ACCIDENTS AT THE WORST AND ABANDONMENT ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD OF A FAMILY AT BEST. GET THEM TO FIX THIS ISSUE AND PROTECT THE DRIVERS ON THE ROAD PLEASE. *JS

THE TRUCK BEGAN TO VIBRATE AND SHUDDER INTERMITTENTLY WHILE IN OVERDRIVE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (55-65MPH). A COUPLE WEEKS LATER TRANSMISSION STARTING SHIFTING REALLY HARD, WITH CORRESPONDING CLUNKING SOUND EVERY TIME IT SHIFTED BETWEEN GEARS. I TOOK IT TO MY REGULAR LOCAL MECHANIC WHO FOUND COOLANT MIXED IN TRANSMISSION FLUID DUE TO A RUPTURED ATF LINE INSIDE THE RADIATOR. HE STATED THAT HE HAD INSPECTED NUMEROUS TRUCKS OF SAME VINTAGE THAT ALSO HAD TRANSMISSION FAILURE DUE TO THE SAME RADIATOR DEFECT CAUSING CONTAMINATION OF TRANSMISSION FLUID. HE ADVISED ME THAT MY RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION WOULD NEED TO BE REBUILT OR REPLACED AT THIS POINT. HE RECOMMENDED I CONTACT NISSAN DEALER REGARDING THIS COMMON DEFECT AND INFORMATION ABOUT WARRANTY COVERAGE. I SPOKE TO 2 LOCAL NISSAN DEALERS ON THE PHONE AND WAS TOLD WARRANTY ON RADIATOR ONLY HAD BEEN EXTENDED TO 80000 MILES. AT THIS TIME MY TRUCK HAS 86000 MILES AND PARTS AND SERVICE TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM WOULD NOT BE COVERED BY NISSAN. *TT

2006 NISSAN FRONTIER - STEERING WHEEL HAS BECOME VERY LOOSE, AND PHYSICALLY MOVES, WHILE OPERATING VEHICLE. THE STEERING HAS ALSO BECOME VERY TIGHT AND DIFFICULT TO STEER VEHICLE. A DEADLY COMBINATION!!!!!!!!!! CAME TO A TRAFFIC SIGNAL, AFTER TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE FOR APPROXIMATELY 300 MILES. WHILE STOPPED I NOTICED ALOT OF PLAY IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND STEERING BECAME VERY TIGHT AT SLOW SPEEDS. THE MOVEMENT IN THE STEERING WHEEL WAS VERY PRONOUNCED MOVING RIGHT AND LEFT UP TO TWO INCHES IN EITHER DIRECTION. I SHOWED MY WIFE AND KIDS, WHO WERE IN THE VEHICLE, AND I BECAME VERY CONCERNED FOR OUR SAFETY, AS WE STILL HAD NEARLY 100 MORE MILES TO DRIVE TO REACH OUR DESTINATION. NO DEALERSHIP WAS IN OUR VICINITY, SO I DROVE VEHICLE BACK HOME TWO DAYS LATER. ON THE RETURN TRIP I WAS VERY AWARE AND NERVOUS FOR THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AND FAMILY, I HAVE NEVER HAD A STEERING WHEEL MOVE LIKE THAT (AND IT SHOULDN'T). WAS CONCERNED AND VERY NERVOUS THE STEERING COULD EITHER FAIL OR THE AIRBAG COULD INADVERTENTLY DEPLOY CAUSING RISK OF INJURY OR DEATH TO MY FAMILY OR OTHER MOTORIST. I CALLED MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP (CARRIAGE NISSAN, GAINESVILLE GEORGIA) ON 6-18-2012 TO DISCUSS MY OBSERVATIONS AND THEY INFORMED ME THEY HAD NOT HEARD OF ANY ISSUES OR PROBLEMS WITH STEERING. UNFORTUNATELY FOR NISSAN, AFTER I INVESTIGATED MY ISSUE ON THE INTERNET, "I AM NOW CONVINCED THAT NISSAN IS WELL AWARE OF THESE PROBLEMS WITH STEERING ISSUES, AS THEY HAVE BEEN REPORTED NUMEROUS TIMES TO NISSAN US

THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT CAME ON AND THE FUEL GAUGE WAS SLOW TO RISE AFTER FILLING UP. THIS TIME WHEN I FILLED UP THE GAUGE WAS AT 1/4 AND WOULD NOT MOVE. AFTER SITTING IN TRAFFIC FOR A LITTLE BIT THE GAUGE INDICATED THAT A WAS LOW ON FUEL AND THE LOW FUEL LIGHT CAME ON. *JB

SENSOR FOR THE FUEL PRESSURE SETS OFF "CHECK ENGINE SOON" LIGHT.THIS SENSOR IS TIED IN WITH THE FUEL GAUGE,LEAVING THE DRIVER WITH INACCURATE FUEL READINGS!

I OWN A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER NISMO WITH 65K MILES. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AND RECALL WORK. DEALER NOTICED LEFT REAR AXLE SEAL LEAKING WHICH COVERED BRAKES AND EMERGENCY BRAKE WITH AXLE OIL WHICH IN TURNS MAKES THE BRAKES INEFFECTIVE PUTTING MY LIFE AND CHILD'S LIFE AND MANY OTHERS IN DANGER. THERE ARE MANY OTHER CASES JUST LIKE THIS ONE REGARDING OTHER FRONTIERS WITH LEAKING REAR AXLE. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE. MAKE NISSAN ISSUE A RECALL! *JS

I RECENTLY HAD A "SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT" APPEAR AND WHEN I HAD IT DIAGNOSED AT THE DEALER I WAS TOLD IT WAS A FUEL SENSOR FAILURE THAT IS LOCATED IN THE GAS TANK.. I OF COURSE AGREED TO HAVE IT SERVICED WHICH THEY DID AND RESET THE ENGINE LIGHT. I WAS RESEARCHING ANOTHER ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE WHEN I STUMBLED ACROSS A RECALL ON THIS SAME YEAR TRUCK FOR THE SAME ITEMS I JUST PAID FOR. THE RECALL BY NISSAN NTB10-031A ISSUED IN MAY 19, 2010. THIS RECALL EXTENDED INTO 2011. IT SEEMS IRONIC THAT WITHIN A FEW MONTHS PERIOD I HAD A FUEL SYSTEM FAILURE THAT REQUIRED THE SAME SERVICE AND EXACTLY THE SAME PARTS REPLACED AS DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL. I FEEL THIS WAS JUST TOO CLOSE AND TOO MUCH OF A COINCIDENCE TO NOT FALL INTO THIS RECALL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT RADIATOR FLUID WAS LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION TO SEIZE. THE VEHICLE HAD BECOME INOPERABLE AS A RESULT OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE TEST RESULTS ADVISED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS DEFECTIVE AND WOULD NEED REPLACING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 92,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. UPDATED 06/21/12*LJ

THE VEHICLE WAS EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS SHIFTING INTO OVERDRIVE, THEN ONCE IN OVERDRIVE, I WAS LOSING THE CAPABILITY TO ACCELERATE ON THE HIGHWAY AND OTHER AREAS OF SPEEDS GREATER THAN 40 MPH. I NOTICED TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKING FROM THE TRANSMISSION AND TOOK IT TO AN AUTO REPAIR SHOP. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION COOLER HAD FAILED COMPLETELY ALLOWING RADIATOR FLUID TO MIX INTO THE TRANSMISSION FLUID CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE TRANSMISSION. THE REPAIR FOR A NEW RADIATOR AND INSTALLATION, AS WELL AS A RIGOROUS FLUSHING OF THE TRANSMISSION COST $599.00. I AM CURRENTLY, AS OF THIS DAY, IN NEED OF A NEW, USED, OR REBUILT TRANSMISSION BECAUSE OF DAMAGE CAUSED BY THE FAILURE OF THE TRANSMISSION COOLER WITHIN THE RADIATOR. *JS

MY TRUCK BEGAN TO SHAKE AND TREMBLE WHEN I WAS TRYING TO BACK INTO MY DRIVE WAY. THE TRUCK HAD BEEN MAKING NOISES AND I HAD TAKEN THE TRUCK IN TO BE CHECKED BY 3 DIFFERENT MECHANICS. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING AND ONE STATED HE HEARD THE NOISE BUT DID NOT KNOW WHAT IT WAS. THE TRUCK CONTINUE TO MAKE THE NOISE OF A GRINDING AND SHUTTERING SOUND. DID NOT DRIVE BUT TO WORK AND HOME DUE TO THE PROBLEMS. THE NOISE WOULD STOP WHEN THE OVERDRIVE WAS TURNED OFF. LATELY THE TRUCK SOUNDS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS GOING. THE FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT WORK. IT WAS IN A RECALL BUT NISSAN WOULD NOT REPAIR EVEN THOUGH I WAS MAILED THE RECALL AFTER MY MILEAGE WAS TOO HIGH FOR THE REPAIR WHICH MAKES NO SENSE TO ME BECAUSE IF THEY SENT THE NOTICE OUT LATE, WHAT DOES MY MILEAGE HAVE TO DO WITH THEIR NEGLIGENCE TO REPAIR THEIR FAULTY VEHICLES? COULD NOT REPAIR, THE COST WAS OVER $600. HAD TO REPLACE A WHEEL BEARING, OVER $400. TIRE GAUGE LIGHT ON. I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT TROUBLE WITH THIS TRUCK. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER NISSAN PRODUCT. WHEN DEALING WITH THE NISSAN RECALL PEOPLE I FELT AS THOUGH THEY COULD CARE LESS. WORKING ON A FIXED BUDGET AND UNABLE TO PAY FOR HIGH COST OF REPAIR. WHAT CAN YOU DO WHEN THE BIG COMPANIES REFUSE TO REPAIR THEIR TRUCKS AND CARS? I WAS INFORMED THERE WAS NO ONE TO HELP ME. HAVE RUN OUT OF GAS SEVERAL TIMES DUE TO THE GAS GAUGE. I HAVE READ OTHER'S COMPLAINTS ON NISSANS AND I AM SURPRISE THAT NO ONE FORCES THEM TO REPAIR THEIR VEHICLES. THIS IS MY ON

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE DID NOT INDICATE THAT THE FUEL TANK WAS EMPTY. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH. THE MANUFACTURER DENIED ASSISTANCE WITH THE REPAIR BECAUSE THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 10V075000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:AUXILIARY TANK). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 83,000. ..UPDATED 04/26/12 *BF UPDATED 04/30/12..... UPDATED 05/21/12 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE RECALL WAS FIXED. HOWEVER, HE WAS CHARGED BECAUSE HIS VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. UPDATED 05/31/12. *JB
