TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT COOLANT LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND THE VEHICLE SPEED WOULD NOT EXCEED 30 MPH. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,704.

WATCH SPRING IN STEERING COLUMN BROKE. AIR BAGS WILL NOT WORK.

TRANSMISSION WENT INTO LIMP MODE LEAVING DRIVEWAY. CLEARED BY SHUTTING OFF & RESTART. DID THIS TWICE THEN WOULD NOT RESET. TOOK TO SHOP & DIAGNOSED CONTAMINATED TRANNY FLUID & RUINED TRANSMISSION. ONE PART REPLACED WAS NISSAN OEM TCM. THREE MONTHS AFTER REBUILD SAME THING HAPPENED ON HIGHWAY BUT COULD NOT CLEAR LIMP MODE. $400 TOW TO SHOP BUT THEY SAID ALL TESTED AND PASSED, RESET CODES. HAPPENED AGAIN ON HIGHWAY AND DROVE TO NISSAN DEALER IN FLAGSTAFF. THEY DIAGNOSED LACK OF COMMUNICATION WITH TCM AND SAID IT WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN, AND TO GET TO SHOP FOR DIAGNOSIS WITHOUT TURNING OFF THE ENGINE. THE THIRD TIME THIS HAPPENED ON HIGHWAY DROVE SLOW IN LIMP MODE BACK TO ORIGNIAL SHOP THAT REBUILT TRANSMISSION. TRANSMISSION SHOP AFTER DIAGNOSTIC SAID OEM TCM FAILED. AVONDALE NISSAN SUPPLIED SHOP WITH NEW TCM BUT ONLY AFTER FAILED TCM WAS RETURNED. TOTAL EXPENSES OVER $7000 AND LOSS OF VEHICLE USE FOR 10 DAYS WHEN TRANSMISSION WAS REBUILT AND 26 CALENDAR DAYS SECOND TIME DUE TO DIFFICULTY IN SHOP DETERMINING EXACTLY WHAT FAILED BECAUSE NISSAN SAID TCM NOT PRONE TO FAILURE HISTORY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE DID NOT REFLECT THE ACTUAL AMOUNT OF FUEL IN THE TANK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DETERMINED THAT THE FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 148,000.

MY FRONTIER WAS INVOLVED IN A FUEL LEVEL SENSOR RECALL IN 2010 AND WAS NEVER REPLACED.THE CEL CAME ON TODAY(10/17/2018).I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALER AND THEY SAID THE WARRANTY ON THAT PART WAS INCREASED 72;000 MILES OR THREE YEARS.SO AS OF TODAY IT IS EXPIRED.I THOUGHT IF A PART WAS UNDER RECALL IT WAS FOR THE LIFE OF VEHICLE. I WORKED AT THIS DEALERSHIP FOR OVER TWENTY YEARS AND NEVER HEARD OF ANYTHING LIKE THIS.IF A PART IS DEFECTIVE DOES IT MATTER WHEN IT FAILS?

THE AIR BAG LIGHT IN THE DASH BORD IS BEEN BLINKING FOR LONG TIME, I BEEN TAKING TO THE MECHANIC TO RESET BUT ONLY WORK FOR A LITTLE TIME AND START BLINKING AGAIN. THE MECHANIC SUGEST ME TO CHECK IFTHERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM AND I FOUND ONE 08V690000 BUT MY VIN # IS NOT INCLUDED, THIS PROBLEM IS SERIOUS IN CASE OF ACCIDENT THE BAG IS NOT GOING TO DEPLOY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WAITED A FEW MINUTES. ONCE RESTARTED, THE VEHICLE OPERATED NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE SENSOR FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 56,077.

LOST POWER TO TRANSMISSION WHILE DRIVING DOWN ROAD WITH GRANDSON IN CAR SEAT. SAW THE SES (SERVICE ENGINE SOON) LIGHT AND COASTED OFF TO SIDE OF HIGHWAY. VERY SCARY!

GAS GAUGE SHOWS AS EMPTY EVEN THOUGH IT HAS A FULL TANK. SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. WAS A RECALL IN 2010 CONCERNING THIS ISSUE ALTHOUGH NISSAN SAYS IT'S NOT A CAMPAIGN SERVICE. WAS NOT NOTIFIED ABOUT THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH IT SYMPTOMS FOR THE RECALL ARE EXACTLY THE ISSUE I HAVE. HAVE HAD THE ISSUE FOR OVER 7 YEARS. HAVE CONTACTED DEALER AND NISSANUSA AND BOTH DENY THE RECALL.

NISSAN FRONTIER TRANSMISSION REVERSE WENT OUT IN HEAVY TRAFFIC.

CROSS-CONTAMINATION BETWEEN AMY FREEZE IN TRANSMISSION FLUID. TRANSMISSION MECHANIC QUOTED AT $4000 TO REPLACE FIX PROBLEM

FUEL GUAGE DOESN'T WORK CORRECTLY. SOMETIMES IT SHOW THE RIGHT LEVEL AND OTHER TIMES IT SHOWS EMPTY OR SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN. RAN OUT OF FUEL THE OTHER DAY ON THE HIGHWAY. I KNOW THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS FOR 2006 -2008, BUT IT SAYS MY VIN NUMBER DOESN'T HAVE A RECALL FOR THIS.

RADIATOR LEAKED FLUID INTO THE TRANSMISSION CASE CAUSING TRANSMISSION FAILURE AT 146000 MILES. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WILE ON THE HIGHWAY TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR NEEDS REPLACEMENT FOR 5000 DOLLARS.

THE RADIATOR IS DEFECTIVE AND LET'S THE ANTI-FREZEE MIX WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID.

TRANSMISSION FAILURE DUE TO RADIATOR COOLANT LEAKING INTO TRANSMISSION. DRIVING CONDITION RESULTED IN SUDDEN HARD DOWNSHIFTS AND EVENTUALLY LED TO A NO START CONDITION. UPON INSPECTING, THE AT CONTROL FUSE WAS BLOWN AND WHEN REPLACED THE VEHICLE CRANKED, ONLY TO HAVE THE FUSE BLOW AGAIN. THE TRANSMISSION, LIKELY NEED TO BE REPLACED TO REMEDY THE ISSUE. THIS ISSUE IS KNOWN AND UNFORTUNATELY, LITTLE HAS BEEN DONE TO HOLD THE MANUFACTURER ACCOUNTABLE.

ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, HAD CHECKED BY NISSAN DEALERSHIP, SAID ANTIFREEZE IN TRANSMISSION CAUSED BY BAD LINES IN RADIATOR, COMMON PROBLEM WITH NISSAN,SAID NISSAN HAD AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THIS PROBLEM, BUT RAN OUT, WOULD COST 6,000 TO FIX THIS PROBLEM

IN JANUARY 2018 MY NISSAN WAS RUNNING GREAT ....DROVE TO WORK AND WHEN I CAME OUT TO GO HOME THE TRUCK WOULDN'T START..MY TRUCK HAS BEEN SITTING SINCE THEN..CANT AFFORD A NEW TRANSMISSION BUT I WAS TOLD IT IS THE MAIN BOARD TO THE TRANSMISSION..I HAVE POWER BUT IT WILL NOT START.THE VEHICLE REMAINS IN MY GARAGE...I HAD NO WARNING BEFORE THE THIS HAPPENED.HAD TO PAY A TOW FEE STRAIGHT TO NISSAN DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS MY BATTERY AND STARTER..WE \REPLACED BOTH AND STILL NOTHING.I SURE HOPE SOMEONE CAN HELP ME BECAUSE THE COST TO FIX THE PROBLEM AS I WAS TOLD WAS GONNA BE AROUND $4500 THEY WANNA REPLACE THE TRANMISSION

CAR STUTTERS WHEN I ACCELERATE WHIL GOING UPHILL BETWEEN 40 AND 60 MILES AN HOUR. DEALERSHIP MECHANIC REPORTED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FLUID HAD BEEN CONTAMINATED BY THE RADIATOR FAILING. THERE ARE 102,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP IS CHARGING $6,100 TO REPAIR A TRUCK THAT IS WORTH LESS THAN THAT. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT AS I AM 2,000 MILES PAST THE WARRANTY, THEY WILL NOT DISCOUNT THE PRICE OF REPAIR, EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A WELL DOCUMENTED ISSUE. NEITHER THE DEALER I BOUGHT THE TRUCK FROM OR THE DEALER PERFORMING MAINTENANCE FOR THE LAST THREE YEARS HAS EVER MENTIONED OR CHECKED FOR THE ISSUE.

FUEL GAUGE OPERATING ERRATIC SHOWING EMPTY WHEN I FILL UP AND THE LOW FUEL LIGHT COMING ON THEN AFTER DRIVING IT SHOWS A DIFFERENT READING. I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH GAS IS IN IT AT ANY TIME BECAUSE GAUGE NOT WORKING CORRECTLY

TAKATA RECALL TRANSMISSION STOP PULLING I HAVE WATER IN MY TRANSMISSION NO WARNING AT ALL I WAS AT A RED LIGHT AND IT JUST STOP GOING??

THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION COOLER THAT IS INTERNAL TO THE RADIATOR LEAKED COOLANT INTO THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION CAUSING EXCESSIVE FRICTION DESTROYING IT. NISSAN KNEW OF THE PROBLEM YET FAILED TO WARN OWNERS THAT THEY COULD AVOID A $6000 REPAIR BY REPLACING THE KNOW DEFECTIVE RADIATOR FOR LESS THAN $1000. NISSAN OFFERED A PRORATED WARRANTY EXTENSION OF UP TO 10 YRS/90,000 MILES (MINE IS A 2007 WITH 88934 SO NOT COVERED) BUT ONLY COVERING A SMALL PORTION OF THE COST TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. NISSAN SHOULD BE PUNISHED FOR FAILING TO WARN OWNERS THEY COULD HAVE AVOIDED THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE. A MANUFACTURE SHOULD HAVE A DUTY TO WARN CONSUMERS IN THIS CASE. THIS COULD CAUSE A SAFETY ISSUE IF THE FAILURE OCCURRED IN A CRITICAL SITUATION. IN MY CASE THE TRANSMISSION FAILED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING ON STATE HIGHWAY 460 NEAR NARROWS, VIRGINIA.

AIR BAGS LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON AND TRANSMISIN CODE 1774 WAS ON RECALL, MY TRANSMISION BROKE DOWN

TAKATA RECALL, THE FRONTIER TORIC CONVERTER INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION STARTED VIBRATING AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS NOT SHIFTING SMOOTHLY. TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS MILKY LOOKING ACCORDING TO NAPA WHEN THEY CHANGED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, IT FAILED TO START. AN UNKNOWN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THAT ANTIFREEZE LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION. THE DEALER (NISSAN GADSDEN IN GADSDEN, ALABAMA) WAS CONTACTED BY PHONE, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN IN FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 117,000.

KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS CAR, CROSS CONTAMINATION RADIATOR TO TRANSMISSION.. COOLANT LEAK INTO TRANSMISSION. 6MONTHS OVER WARRANTY.

COOLANT CROSS CONTAMINATED RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION AND MY TIMING CHAIN NEED TO BE REPLACED. ONLY HAVE 83,000

FUEL GAUGE NOT MOVING TO FULL, AS GAS TANK GOT REFILLED. IT SHOWS EMPTY AFTER REFILL AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATES. SOMETIMES STAY EMPTY UNTIL GAS OUT, NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. HARD TO TELL IF EMPTIED OR NOT. NEED RPAIR. MY TRUCK IS ONLY 40000 WHEN THIS HAPPENED, NOW ITS AT 60000 MILES. REPAIR WILL COST OVER $600 IF ONLY REPLACING INSIDE TANK FUEL GAUGE.

THE AIRBAG STARTED FLASHING AND AROUND 35-40 MPH IT FEELS LIKE YOU ARE HITTING RUMBLE STRIPS. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THE RADIATOR FLUID IS MIXING IN THE TRANSMISSION. REPLACEMENT OF TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR IS OVER $4,500.

MY 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER CREW CAB HAS 107K MILES AND FOR UNKNOWN REASONS THE AIRBAG LIGHT WILL NOT RESET. THIS IS UNSAFE BECAUSE THE AIRBAGS MAY NOT WORK IN AN ACCIDENT. ALSO THE FUEL GAUGE IS MALFUNCTIONING.

IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING DOWN A BUSY PUBLIC HIGHWAY THE TRANSMISSION STARTS TO GO OUT WITH NO SIGNS LEADING UP TO FAILURE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER. WHILE DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE FUEL GAUGE INDICATED THAT THERE WAS FUEL IN THE FUEL TANK, BUT IN REALITY, THERE WAS NO FUEL IN THE VEHICLE. WHILE IN TRAFFIC ON A HILL, THE VEHICLE STALLED DUE TO LACK OF FUEL; HOWEVER, THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED A QUARTER TANK OF FUEL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THERE WERE NO OPEN RECALLS FOR THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,000.

RADIATOR BROKE AND MIXED FLUIDS- BOTH TRANI AND RADIATOR. TRANI BROKE AS A RESULT OF IT. I SPENT 5K TO FIX. I HAD A WARRANTY I PURCHASED FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND IT WOULD HONOR THE REPAIR BECAUSE IT WAS CAUSED BY THE RADIATOR.

DOING GENERAL CHECK UP OF MY TRUCK WHILE PERFORMING AN OIL CHANGE NOTICED SLUDGES IN THE RADIATOR. IMMEDIATELY PERFORMED BYPASS AND DRAINED THE TRANSMISSION TO FIND IT FULL OF COOLANT. FIXED THE ISSUE MYSELF AFTER ALL THE NEW PARTS ARRIVED EARLY ENOUGH TO SAVE THE TRANSMISSION. HONESTLY FEEL LIKE NISSAN OWES EVERYONE THAT HAD THIS ISSUE A BRAND NEW TRUCK NO QUESTIONS ASKED NOT RIGHT SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN AFFECTED BY THIS ISSUE AND NHTSA SOMEHOW DENIED THE CLAIM ACCORDING TO THEIR INSPECTION DO YOUR JOB SLAM NISSAN MAKE THEM PAY UP.

DRIVERS AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON. ALSO TRANSMISSION SLIPPING ANTI-FREEZE MIXING WITH TRANSMISSION FLUID.

OUR 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER'S RADIATOR LEAKED INTO OUR TRANSMISSION AND RUINED OUR TRANSMISSION AT 110,000 MILES. THE VEHICLE STARTED SLIPPING AND STUTTERING CHANGING GEARS WHILE WE WERE DRIVING AND IT THEN LOCKED UP WHEN WE PULLED INTO A GAS STATION AND WE COULD NOT SHIFT THE CAR INTO GEAR. THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED WHERE THE SHOP IS TELLING US IT NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR. WHEN I CALLED THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP, THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE, BUT I AM OUT OF LUCK BECAUSE IT IS NO LONGER COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE REPAIR IS OVER A $5200 FIX. THIS IS A DIRECT RESULT OF A BAD MANUFACTURED RADIATOR, NO FAULT OF OUR OWN, AND IT HAS NOW RUINED OUR TRUCK.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FAILURE DUE TO RADIATOR FAILURE AND COOLANT CONTAMINATION

THE AIRBAG SENSOR BEGAN FLASHING WHEN DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AND THE ERROR CODE IS FOR THE PASSENGER SEATBELT. THE NON-DEALER MECHANIC WAS NOT ABLE TO REPAIR AND THE AIRBAGS ARE DEACTIVATED. THE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE FAILED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET. THE ECM IS NOT AVAILABLE FROM NISSAN OR AFTER MARKET FOR THIS 10 YEAR OLD VEHICLE. THE ECM CANNOT BE REBUILT. THUS, THIS LOW MILEAGE VEHICLE IN OTHERWISE EXCELLENT CONDITION IS NOW JUNK. NISSAN HAS FAILED TO PROVIDE EXPECTED VEHICLE RELIABILITY AND CONSUMER PROTECTIONS. APPARENTLY, NISSAN CEASED MANUFACTURE (INCLUDING AFTER MARKET) OF THIS CRITICAL ENGINE COMPONENT SOON AFTER INITIAL SALE WITHOUT MAKING ANY PROVISIONS FOR REPLACEMENT UPON FAILURE. I AM TOLD THAT THIS IS A STANDARD BUSINESS PRACTICE FOR NISSAN.

TRANSMISSION FLUID IN THE RADIATOR !!ITONLY HAS 75 THOUSAND MILES ORIGINAL ONLY ONE OWNER DEALERS TOLD ME IT WOULD BE 6,000 DOLLARS PLUS TO FIX ,PLEASE HELP

FUEL GAUGE ERRATIC. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. I FILLED TRUCK W GAS & WAS DRIVING ON HWY 160 & NOTICED FUEL GAUGE LIGHT ON & GAUGE ON EMPTY. THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS FOR TRUCKS LIKE MINE FOR FUEL LEVEL SENSOR SENDING UNIT

RADIATOR LEAKS INTO TRANSMISSION CAUSING FAILURE. THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED INTO NEUTRAL ENTERING 45 MPH TRAFFIC ON A 4 LANE CITY STREET LEAVING ME STRANDED AND BLOCKING TRAFFIC. IT IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP AND WILL COST 3000.00.

VEHICLE OVERHEATED WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH ON INTERSTATE, FOLLOWED BY AUTOMATIC SHIFT SPUTTERING BETWEEN 3 AND 4TH GEARS. TAKEN TO MECHANIC AND WAS NOTIFIED THAT OVERHEATING WAS RESULT OF RADIATOR FAILURE, WHICH CAUSED RADIATOR FLUID TO MIX WITH TRANSMISSION FLUID. REPAIR COST $3400 TO REPLACE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION. AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATING 1 MONTH AFTER TAKATA RECALL EXPIRED.

A KNOWN ISSUE WAS NEVER CORRECTED WITH MY VEHICLE CAUSING THE COOLANT TO LEAK INTO THE TRANSMISSION. NISSAN KNEW OF THE PROBLEM AND NEVER DID ANYTHING TO NOTIFY ME. YET THEY STILL SEND ME LETTERS ASKING IF I WOULD LIKE TO TRADE IN MY VEHICLE. MY VEHICLE BROKE DOWN IN THER EXACT WAY THEY DESCRIBED IT WOULD AND STILL, THEY WERE UNWILLING TO HELP WITH REPAIRS.

NISSAN RECOGNIZED LEAK IN RADIATOR, LEADING TO CORROSION IN TRANSMISSION RESULTING IN CLUNKING SHIFTING WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, UNTIL TRANSMISSION CANNOT SHIFT BY ITSELF. SECRET WARRANTY BULLETIN PUT OUT BUT ONLY TO NISSAN SERVICE CENTRES AND NOT SHARED WITH VEHICLES OWNERS UNTIL TO LATE FOR MOST. IF THEY RECALLED OR FIXED THE RADIATOR, WOULD NOT NOW NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION REPAIR FOR ~$7000. TRUCK WILL NO LONGER GO UP HILLS UNLESS ONE SHIFTS AS IF IT WERE MANUAL

WHEN DRIVING MY 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER WITH A 191000 MILES AND TRUCK STARTS TO SLOW DOWN, IT WOULD DOWN SHIFT ROUGH. MADE APPT FOR NEXT DAY WITH MECHANIC. IT STILL BEING THE SAME DAY I DROVE MY SON TO THE PARK AND CAME TO A STOP , TRUCK DOWN SHIFT WAS ROUGH AGAIN AND SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON, PUSHED ON GAS AND TRUCK FELT LIKE IT LOST POWER. GOT TO PARK A BLOCK AWAY, TURNED TRUCK OFF AND IT NEVER STARTED AGAIN. TOWED TO A MECHANIC . $1100 LATER, MECHANIC SAYS TOW IT TO THE NISSAN DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC BECAUSE THE MODULAR INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT WORKING AND THEY CAN TELL WHAT'S WRONG. I GET IT TOWED TO NISSAN DEALER FOR $90 AND $450(3HRS OF LABOR TO DIAGNOSE TRUCK) LATER, NISSAN SAID RADIATOR FLUID CROSS CONTAMINATED WITH TRANSMISSION AND RUINED IT. ALSO FOUND TRANSMISSION FLUID AND ENGINE OIL IN RADIATOR. SO THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED FOR $6800. NISSAN DEALER SENDS ME SERVICE COUPONS, FLYERS TO TRADE THE FRONTIER FOR NEWER A MODEL TO MY HOUSE. THEY ALSO TEXT AND CALL. IN 2012 THEY SETTLED TO EXTEND POWER TRAIN WARRANTY BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. WHY WASN'T I INFORMED OF PREVENTATIVE MAINTENCE ON A KNOWN DEFECT.

TAKATA RECALL. I WENT TO GO DO A TRANSMISSION FLUSH. AND MECHANIC SAYS HE CANT FLUSH IT CAUSE THERES COOLANT MIXED IN WITH TRANSMISSION FLUID. THEN ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING HOME.

A CRACK CAME IN THE RADIATOR, FORCING COOLANT INTO THE TRANSMISSION, DAMAGING THE TRANSMISSION.
