In December 2023 I noticed a bad discoloration of the coolant in my 2007 Nissan Frontier. I took the truck to the local Nissan dealership and had them flush the coolant system. There were no warning lamps or messages. There were no other symptoms or problems prior to that. Receipt available for this service. Then in May 2023 the transmission began shifting extremely hard. Upon checking the coolant it was the consistency of strawberry milkshake. The truck was taken to a local transmission shop and they rebuilt the transmission assembly along with replacing the radiator and flushing the system. This work was completed June 3, 2024. Receipt is available for this service. With continuing to see the coolant have a consistency of strawberry milkshake, I reached out to the local Nissan dealership for them to tell me there had been a recall for this. Upon doing further research, I have learned there actually wasn't a recall but an extended warranty offered that Nissan did not willingly let owners know about. $4,500.00 later I still have the same problem I started with and am fearful this truck will fail as I'm driving on the highway and am concerned about my safety. Nissan knew when they flushed the coolant in December 2023 of this problem and said nothing. Vehicle is available for inspection upon request.

Two weeks ago I received a recall for an airbag emblem issue for my vehicle. I set an appointment and in the time leading up to my appointment the airbag warning sensor came on. When I went in for the recall they repaired the recall but the warning light did not go off. They stated that there are two issues with my airbag the emblem was not the cause of the sensor going off. They claim it is the airbag module. They would not cover that repair even though the emblem led to the airbag module going bad. This is the second airbag recall on airbags( previous was in 2008). The cost for an airbag module is over $1000 and I find that unacceptable.

The radiator cracked, leaking water in to the transmission cooler, causing contamination of the transmission fluid. The caused the transmission to instantly malfunction, ruining all internal electronic parts. No warning signs, service lights, etc. before the transmission was damaged. Transmission repair shop says this is very common and is going to cost $3900 to repair the vehicle.

This is known problem you refused to force Nissan to recall. At a minimum Nissan should have been required to notify owners of the problem. They did not. My radiator has failed allowing coolant to mix with the transmission fluid destroying the transmission. I have 96,000 miles on my vehicle. I would have gladly paid out of pocket to replace the defective radiator to save the transmission, but since I was not notified of the problem, now I have to potentially replace the transmission.

Symptoms began as random hard shifts, then progressed to a sudden loss of power and high rpms. If the vehicle was turned off and on, the transmission would engage and you could drive a couple hundred feet before it began slipping again. I used this tactic of turning it off and on again to get the vehicle off of the highway. Vehicle has not been sent to shop as of yet. Taking a turn, my Nissan Frontier 2007 suddenly stops right in the middle of the street causing traffic jam, I was lucky enough not to be t-boned with my kids seating on the back. Nissan knew about is but never advised costumers about it to open a recall campaign. Need help with this. Truck was bought brand new at the dealer.

On my 2007 Nissan Frontier my air bag light has come on and my Regular Repair shop has brought to my attention about the air bag sensor recall. The dealership in my area states that my vehicle does not fall under this recall but I am truly afraid of my husband or myself getting hurt if this is not fixed. We are in our 80"s and can not afford to have this issue fixed and feel as we should not have to fix this problem when there are so m any of these recalls out there. Please Help

The frame has excessive rust causing weakness in the trucks support. Furthermore causing driveline vibration issues and eventually the cab and bed will snap at the weak point. Seems to be the same issue the Nissan Navaras have that were built in Spain and the manufacturer has recongnized the issue outside of the U.S.

1. The fuel pump and fuel sensor suddenly stopped working without prior notice while driving down the road. 2. Sudden loss of power while driving creates a dangerous situation. 3. An independent service center stated that "Nissan Corp. had a recall on fuel pump sensors. 4. The fuel pump and fuel sensor were replaced. 5. I called Nissan Corp, but they said that vehicle did not qualify for a recall of the fuel sensor.

2007 NISSAN FRONTIER CREW CAB: ENTERING THE 100,000 MILE MARKER THE TRUCK STARTED TO FEEL LIKE IT WAS SKIPPING. THEN THE TRUCK STALLED WHILE AT THE GROCERY STORE. I TRIED TO GET IT STARTED AND AFTER 15 MINUTES IT DID START. AAA TESTED BATTERY, STARTER AND ALTERNATORS. THEY WERE ALL FINE. LATER DROVE TRUCK TO CONTINUE GROCERY SHOPPING AND IT STALLED IN THE MAIN TRAFFIC LANE. PUSHED TRUCK TO SAFER PLACE. THEN IT STARTED AGAIN. AUTOZONE COMPUTER TEST REVEALED SENSOR P)335 AND A RECOMMENDATION TO REPLACE FLYWHEEL. INTERNET SEARCH REVEALED ISSUES WITH POWER TRAIN AND ANTI FREEZE ENTERING THE TRANSMISSION DUE TO FAULTY PARTS. NEARLY 3000. REPORTS OF SAME ISSUE. DISAPPOINTED THAT NISSAN DID NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR USE OF COMPROMISED MATERIALS IN BUILDING THEIR CARS AND TRUCKS. IF NISSAN IS USING FAULTY OR WEAK MATERIALS, THEN MIGHT AS WELL BUY AMERICAN.

I BOUGHT THE 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER OFF A DEALERSHIP AS A USED VEHICLE WITH NO WARRANTY. ONE WEEK LATER THE TRANSMISSION STARTED TO SLIP, THE FOLLOWING WEEK THE SLIPPAGE WAS WORSE UNTIL IT LOST POWER AND IT LEFT ME STRANDED IN A PARKING LOT. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND HE SAID THAT IT'S A POSSIBILITY THAT THE TRANSMISSION COMPUTER HAD GONE OUT AND IT WOULD BE CLOSE TO $5,000 DOLLARS TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. THE TRANSMISSION FUSE KEEPS BLOWING OUT ONCE THE TRUCK IS STARTED. THE MECHANIC SAID IT COULD BE A POSSIBILITY THAT IT WAS CROSS CONTAMINATION SINCE NISSAN WAS KNOWN FOR FAULTY RADIATORS. SO I'M STUCK WITH A TRUCK PAYMENT THROUGH A LOAN WITH A TRANSMISSION OUT AND I CAN'T EVEN DRIVE IT. THERE ARE THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE FROM PEOPLE HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE.
