2007 Nissan Frontier complaints

A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO, I BEGAN TO NOTICE A LOUD VIBRATING OR SHUDDERING SOUND AT SPEEDS AROUND 35-40 MPH. IT SEEMED TO HAPPEN AS I STOPPED ACCELERATING AS IF IT WERE TRYING TO UP-SHIFT FOR CRUISING. THE SOUND BEGAN TO GET LOUDER OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS BEFORE I COULD GET IT CHECKED OUT. IT NOW HAS A VERY DIFFICULT TIME SHIFTING AT THOSE SPEEDS AND WHEN IT DOES SHIFT, IT'S HARD AND MAKES A LOUD KNOCK SOUND. IT THEN BEGAN TO RUN HOT ONE DAY SO AFTER IT COOLED I CHECK THE COOLANT LEVEL AND FOUND THAT IT HAD A LIGHT BROWN, MILKY LOOKING SUBSTANCE WHICH FELT OILY. I'VE RECENTLY DISCOVERED A LOT OF INFORMATION FROM PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM EXPLAINING THAT IT IS CAUSE BY THE COOLANT AND TRANSMISSION FLUID MIXING AND DAMAGING EACH COMPONENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE SERVICED, THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE RADIATOR, TRANSMISSION, AND TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

I BOUGHT A USED 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER CREW CAB AT HYUNDAI OF ROSEVILLE, CA A YEAR AND HALF AGO ON JAN 2014 AND THEY NEVER DISCLOSE TO ME THAT THIS CAR WAS KNOWN FOR COOLANT LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND EVENTUALLY DESTROYING IT. AFTER BUYING THIS, I ONLY DROVE IT FOR ABOUT 8,000 MILES AND THIS PROBLEM HITS ME JUNE 2015. I BOUGHT IT FOR $12,500 AND STILL OWE $8,000. THE COSTS TO REPAIR THIS ACCORDING TO NISSAN WOULD COSTS ME $7,500. I BOUGHT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR $1,200, BUT IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED BECAUSE THIS IS A "KNOWN PRE-EXISTING PROBLEM OR DEFECT BY THE MANUFACTURER." SO, THIS USED FRONTIER WOULD COSTS ME OVER $20,000 WHICH IS ABOUT WHAT THE NEW ONES ARE GOING FOR. THIS IS TERRIBLE AND I NEED SOME KIND OF JUSTICE. EITHER NISSAN, THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP THAT I BOUGHT THIS FROM AND OR THE EXTENDED WARRANTY COMPANY NEED TO PAY FOR THIS. NISSAN SHOULD PAY BECAUSE THIS WAS A KNOWN MANUFACTURER DEFECT. HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP THAT I BOUGHT IT FROM SHOULD ALSO PAY BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T DISCLOSE OF THIS KNOWN DEFECT. THE EXTENDED WARRANTY COMPANY CALLED BUY DIRECT AUTO WARRANTY SHOULD HAD NOT OFFER ME A WARRANTY KNOWING THAT CAN'T PAY FOR THIS KIND OF REPAIR. THEY SHOULD EITHER PAY FOR THE REPAIR OR GIVE ME A FULL REFUND. I NEED JUSTICE!!!

THE RADIATOR FLUID LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND RUINED THE TRANSMISSION. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM BY NISSAN AND THEY NEVER NOTIFIED US. IF WE HAD BEEN TOLD ABOUT THE PROBLEM BEFORE THE RADIATOR LEAK WE WOULD HAVE FIXED IT AND WOULD NEVER HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. WE CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND THEY REFUSED TO HELP PAY FOR THIS SO WE WERE STUCK WITH PAYING OVER $5000 FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION.

ON JAN. 3RD. 2013 THE RED AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON IN OUR 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER WE TOOK IT TO NISSAN AND THEY REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT. FRONT CRASH ZONE SENSOR "CSZ" THE RED AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT WILL ILLUMINATE TO ALERT THE VEHICLE OPERATOR. MY DAUGHTER HAD LOOKED UP OUR TRUCK ON LINE & FOUND THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL ON THESE AIRBAGS SENSORS FOR CERTAIN VEHICLES. WE EVEN HAVE THE RECALL LETTER & STILL THEY WON'T DO ANYTHING. THE MAN THAT WORKS OR WORKED FOR NISSAN IN MELBOURNE , FLORIDA , WHEN I TOLD HIM MY DAUGHTER HAD FOUND THE RECALL ON LINE , HIS SMART REMARK WAS, " YOU CAN FIND ANYTHING ON THE INTERNET, YOU CAN EVEN FIND SANTA CLAUS IF YOU LOOK". WE HAVE NOT GOTTEN ANYTHING DONE AS OF THIS DATE. MAY 29, 2015. WE WERE IN CONTACT WITH NISSAN"S MAIN OFFICE , MANY TIMES. THE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 49,400 AT THE TIME.

WHILE I WAS DRIVING I FELT A HEAVY VIBRATION WHILE SHIFTING, AND ACCELERATING, ABRUPT STALLING, AND SHUDDERING NOISES. IT WAS SO DANGEROUS TO BE ON THE ROAD WITH THIS VEHICLE. I HAD TO REPLACE MY TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR IMMEDIATELY ON A VEHICLE THAT HAD ONLY 53,452 MILES ON IT.

MY GAS GAUGE DROPPED TO 1/4 THEN WENT TO EMPTY WITH LIGHT ON NOW IT WON'T MOVE AT ALL

2007 NISSAN FRONTIER WITH 140,000 MILES STARTED VIBRATING AND SEEMED SLUGGISH WHEN ACCELERATING. I TOOK TO FIRESTONE THINKING MAYBE IT NEEDED TUNE UP. COME TO FIND OUT TRANSMISSION IS THE ISSUE. I HAVE PREVIOUSLY HAD TO REPLACE FUEL SENSOR WHEN NISSAN REFUSED TO PAY. I WAS OVER THE MILEAGE BY 2000 MILES FOR RECALL. NOW I HAVE READ ABOUT ISSUES WITH TRANSMISSION AND ONCE AGAIN NISSAN REFUSING TO FIX PROBLEMS. NISSAN SHOULD BE TAKING CARE OF THESE ISSUES. I WILL NOT OWN ANOTHER NISSAN!!! MY BROTHER ALSO HAD A 2009 FRONTIER WITH THE FUEL SENSOR ISSUE AND NISSAN WOULD NOT PAY TO FIX. NISSAN KNOWS THIS ISSUES IS OCCURRING OVER THE 100,000 MILES AND KNOW THEY HAVE DEFECTIVE PARTS ON VEHICLES.

FUEL GAUGE FAILS TO REGISTER PROPER AMOUNT OF FUEL, TRIGGERS CHECK ENGINE LIGHT (MIL) AND REPORTS TROUBLE CODE SHOWING OPEN CIRCUIT IN FUEL SENSOR SYSTEM. THIS FAILURE REQUIRES ME TO WATCH MILEAGE BY USING TRIP ODOMETER TO MONITOR WHEN TO PURCHASE FUEL. COULD ALSO CAUSE FAILURE OF EMISSIONS TEST AS CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. THIS WOULD BE AN UNNECESSARY FINANCIAL BURDEN TO FIX AS WELL AS HAVING A FAILURE OF THE EMISSIONS TEST BASED ON THE FUEL SENDING UNIT NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY AND NOT FROM EXCESSIVE EMISSIONS OR OTHER EMISSIONS CONTROL PARTS. EMISSIONS TESTS ARE $50-70 PER ATTEMPT WITH DYNO RUNS. ESTIMATED COST OF REPAIR IS $5-750.00 FOR LABOR AND MATERIALS. VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW 7/07 WITH 50 MILES ON IT AS IT WAS DELIVERED FROM ANOTHER DEALERSHIP. CURRENTLY HAS 61,000 MILES. VEHICLE RUNS PERFECT OTHERWISE. WOULD LIKE NISSAN TO AT LEAST SEND THE REPLACEMENT PART (@ $250).

RADIATOR LEAKS INTO TRANSMISSION AND RUINS BOTH THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION

FUEL GAGE INDICATED THAT I HAD A BIT LESS THAN 1/2 TANK OF FUEL. RUN OUT OF FUEL AS THE FUEL SENDING UNIT WAS DISPLAYING THE WRONG AMOUNT OF FUEL SHORTLY AFTER THAT THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A REPAIR SHOP WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A P0463 CODE DEFECTIVE FUEL SENDING UNIT. CALLED NISSAN OF NORTH AMERICA FOR SUPPORT WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER IN ORDER FOR NISSAN TO HONOR THE WARRANTY. SPENT $106 DOLLARS THE FIRST TIME AT THE SHOP AND THEN $104 AT THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP. AFTER SEVERAL CALLS TO NISSAN NORTH AMERICA CUSTOMER AFFAIRS I WAS TOLD THAT THE FUEL SENDING UNIT IS NOT COVERED, THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE THAT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING HOW CAN IT BE POSSIBLE THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED, IT ONLY HAS 33K MILES...THIS IS A LARGER ISSUE THAT NEEDS ATTENTION BY NHTSA AS THERE HAS BEEN DOCUMENTED ACCIDENTS FROM PEOPLE RUNNING OUT OF FUEL ON THE FREEWAY. I'VE RUN OUT OF FUEL 3 TIMES IN THE PAST 3 MONTHS AS I DEAL WITH NISSAN TO SEE IF THEY CAN DO ANYTHING ABOUT MY ISSUE.

TRAVELING ALONG HWY 209 IN BIGFORK, MT, I NOTICED MY GAS GAUGE NEEDLE DROP FROM 1/2 TANK TO BELOW ZERO AND IMMEDIATELY THE FUEL LIGHT CAME ON ALONG WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. A MILE DOWN THE ROAD AND THE ENGINE STALLED AND HAD TO MAKE AN EMERGENCY PULL-OVER WITH MY TWO YOUNG CHILDREN IN THE CAR. THANKFULLY, THE TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT THAT DAY, I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER SAFELY, AND I HAD CELL SERVICE. I CALLED MY HUSBAND AND LET HIM KNOW WHAT HAPPENED. HE BROUGHT GAS AND, SURE ENOUGH, THE TRUCK STARTED ONCE AGAIN, BUT DID NOT REGISTER FUEL AGAIN UNTIL I FILLED THE TANK COMPLETELY. IT CONTINUES TO REPEAT THIS CYCLE WHERE IT WILL REGISTER UNTIL A CERTAIN FUEL LEVEL AND THEN THE NEEDLE WILL DIVE TO BELOW EMPTY.

LIKE SO MANY OTHER NISSAN FRONTIER OWNERS, THE RADIATOR COOLANT GOT MIXED WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. THIS IS FACTORY DEFECT KNOWN BY NISSAN. HAD TO REPLACE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION SINCE THE CAR WAS NOT RESPONDING WELL AND WAS NOT ABLE TO RUN PROPERLY. CALLED NISSAN THREE TIMES TO ASK FOR SOME FINANCIAL SUPPORT AND THEY DENIED IT. *TR

TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING BAD, AND THE COOLANT WAS LOOKING BROWNISH RED. TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS IN THE RADIATOR AND THROUGH OUT BOTH THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET CHECK-OUT THEY SAID MY WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED AND THAT THIS WOULDN'T BE COVERED. WOULD NEED TO REPLACE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION.... COSTING ME $ 2,731.25. ALTHOUGH THIS IS A KNOWN FACT THAT NISSAN IS HAVING A GOOD AMOUNT OF PROBLEMS WITH VARIOUS NISSAN MODEL INCLUDING MY NISSAN FRONTIER. VERY UNHAPPY NISSAN CUSTOMER OF MANY YEARS..... NOW I'M STARTING TO HAVE TIMING BELT ISSUES WHICH FALLS UNDER ANOTHER NISSAN FRONTIER PROBLEM. WILL HAVE TO GET FIXED AT MY OWN EXPENSE. MY DEALERSHIP KNOW THESE THINGS BUT ARE NOT OPEN ABOUT THESE FACT. I TAKE MY FRONTIER IN FOR MAINTENANCE NOTHING EVER SAID AND NEVER SEEM TO GET RECALL NOTICES EITHER.... *TR

WAS DRIVING 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER WHEN 4WD LIGHT CAME ON AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. SLOWED DOWN AND CAME TO A STOP. WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE, THERE WAS NO RESPONSE. APPARENTLY, TRANSMISSION IS RUINED DUE TO A KNOWN DEFECT WITH THE RADIATOR WHERE COOLANT LEAKS INTO THE TRANSMISSION. NISSAN NEVER ISSUED A RECALL FOR THE RADIATOR ASSEMBLY, JUST EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 100,000 MILES, LEAVING THE CONSUMER RESPONSIBLE TO FIXED CATASTROPHIC TRANSMISSION FAILURE. COST $6500. *TR

WHITE SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE TAIL PIPE. *TR

NISSAN FRONTIER HAS BEEN JERKING SPORADICALLY FOR A MONTH DRIVING LOCALLY AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS CITY OR HIGHWAY. I ASSUMED IT WAS CHEAP FUEL AND A NEEDED TUNE UP. I DECIDED TO TAKE THE TRUCK IN FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AT FIRESTONE AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OR ISSUE OF THE JERKING. REQUESTED DIAGRAMS OF THE ENGINE WAS UNREADABLE AND NO HELP. FIRESTONE RECOMMENDED I TAKE IT TO THE NISSAN DEALER. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE NISSAN DEALER AND THEY QUOTED A $5000 PLUS REPAIR BILL. THIS SEEM OUT OF THE ORDINARY FOR SIMPLE JERKING AND NO OTHER SYMPTOMS. IN ADDITION THEY HAD NOTED ON THE DIAGNOSTIC AND REPAIR BILL SOME OTHER REPAIRS THAT OBVIOUS NEEDED FIXING AS GOOD CONDITION. IMMEDIATELY I KNEW THAT THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST PERFORMED WAS FALSE- THE MECHANIC DID NOT DIAGNOSE/TEST MY VEHICLE CORRECTLY AND THE REPAIR QUOTED WAS DUE TO AN ISSUE THEY NEW ABOUT FROM THE START. THAT'S WHEN I STARTED DOING ONLINE RESEARCH TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS ARE PROBLEMS GOING ON WITH THE NISSAN FRONTIER. MY GUESS WAS CORRECT. NISSAN IS AWARE OF THIS FAULT REGARDING THE TRANSMISSION AND SUBSEQUENT ISSUE OF THE RADIATOR. NISSAN DEALERS ARE THEN CHARGING CUSTOMERS TO FIX AN ISSUE THAT WILL RE-APPEAR. CUSTOMERS SHOULD HAVE SOME RECOURSE OTHER THAN SPEND THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS ON PRODUCT DEFECT AND THAT RECOURSE SHOULD BE A RECALL OF THESE DEFECTIVE VEHICLES TO BE REPAIRED. WHERE IS THE FAIRNESS AND WHY DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE OR BE SERIOUSLY INJURED TO PROVE THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT IN THE PROD

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER. AFTER FILLING UP THE VEHICLE WITH FUEL AND DRIVING, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE STARTED TO DROP TOWARDS EMPTY. THE FAILURE CORRECTED ITSELF, BUT THE SECOND TIME THE FAILURE OCCURRED, THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE SENDER INSIDE THE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE PART WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,549.

MY 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER IS EXPERIENCING WHAT MANY OTHER FRONTIER TRUCK OWNER ARE EXPERIENCING...THE DREADED INACCURATE FUEL GAUGE READINGS ALONG WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I AM BLOWN AWAY THAT NISSAN HAS NOT HAD THE COURAGE TO ORDER A RECALL ON THIS WELL KNOWN ISSUE. HOPEFULLY THIS WILL NOT RESULT IN A NUMBER OF FATALITIES BEFORE THEY "DO THE RIGHT THING". VERY UNFORTUNATE AND A POOR FORM OF CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR OWNERS WHO WILL MOST LIKELY SEEK A DIFFERENT BRAND AS THERE NEXT PURCHASE. *TR

MAKING A NOISE WHEN TRAVELING AT 35-40 MPH ACCELERATING. NISSAN DEALERSHIP STATES IT IS THE RADIATOR LEAKING COOLANT INTO THE TRANSMISSION WHICH IS CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION TO FAIL. WARRANTY EXPIRED ON 12/2014. NISSAN DEALERSHIP STATES A CO-PAY OF $2500.00 IS WHAT WILL BE CHARGED TO FIX. *TR

WHEN DRIVING ALONG THE TRUCK LOST POWER THEN WHEN THE TRUCK WAS TURNED BACK ON THE MOTOR MADE A LOUD NOISE. NOW THE REPAIRMAN TELLS ME THE TRUCK NEEDS A NEW MOTOR. IT HAS NOT GIVEN ME ANY TROUBLE BEFORE. IT IS NOT A WORK TRUCK IT'S A PLEASURE TRUCK. I'M RETIRED. WITH THAT LOW MILEAGE YOU WOULD THINK THE MOTOR WOULD BE BETTER THAN THAT. I HOPE YOU CAN HELP ME. THANK YOU *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE FAILED TO OPERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE FUEL SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 57,000.

2012 CLASS ACTION SUIT EXTENDS WARRANTY FOR LEAKAGE OF ANTIFREEZE INTO TRANSMISSION WHICH CAUSES ENGINE TO STOP RUNNING PROPERLY AND BREAK DOWN. APPARENTLY THIS IS A COMMON FEATURE ON NISSAN VEHICLES. THIS TRUCK WAS DRIVEN TO FLORIDA BY A COLLEGE STUDENT ON SPRING BREAK. AT 79,000 MARK TROUBLE STARTED. HE DROVE IT HOME TO VIRGINIA AND BINGO THE ODOMETER WENT OVER 80,000 MILES. AT 80,300 MILES HE TAKES IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND BECAUSE ODOMETER IS OVER 80,000 MILES THE MANUFACTURER REQUIRES $2500 OWNER CO-PAY TO REPAIR WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN A PREVENTABLE REPAIR BEFORE THE TRANSMISSION TANKED. HAD HE TAKEN IT TO A DEALER IN FLORIDA AT 79,000 THE WHOLE THING WOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED. THEY REQUIRE WRITTEN PROOF OF MECHANICAL FAILURE. THESE VEHICLES NEED TO COME WITH A WARNING LABEL. *TR

TRUCK WOULD NOT START. TOWED TO AUTO GARAGE. TOLD RADIATOR HAS A DEFECTIVE COOLEST LINE THAT RUNS THRU TRANSMISSION. THIS CAUSED CROSS CONTAMINATION OF RADIATOR FLUID AND TRANSMISSION FLUID, CAUSING BREAKDOWN OF TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR. FOUND OUT ONLINE THAT THIS HAPPENS WITH THREE TYPES OF NISSAN VEHICLES MADE BETWEEN 2005 AND 2010. NISSAN WILL ONLY COVER IF UNDER 100,000 MILES BUT I HAVE TO PAY FIRST 3000 ON A FIX AVERAGING 3800 TO 4000. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF ANY PROBLEMS BY NISSAN. THEY KNEW THEIR WAS A PROBLEM AND I BELIEVE THAT ARE STALLING AND COVERING THIS PROBLEM. THEY SHOULD BE 100% RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS LIABILITY. CAR COMPANY'S PAID FOR ALL TYPES OF RECALL FOR THEIR DESIGN FLAWS, WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE HERE OTHER THAN THE AMOUNT NEEDED TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT. *TR

A DEFECTIVE RADIATOR INSTALLED BY MANUFACTURER, ROTTED, CAUSING A MIX OF TRANSMISSION FLUID AND COOLANT PERMANENTLY DAMAGING THE TRANSMISSION. *TR

STARTED EXPERIENCING RADIATOR OVERHEATING AND ERRATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFTING. MECHANIC FOUND RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION FLUIDS MIXED. RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION NEED TO BE REPLACED +/-$4000 ESTIMATE. NORMAL DRIVING HISTORY AND VEHICLE IN GOOD CONDITION OTHERWISE.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER REFUELING THE VEHICLE, THE FUEL GAUGE INDICATED THE INCORRECT READING LEVELS AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000.

I FIRST BEGAN NOTICING A PROBLEM WITH MY 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER WHEN THE HEATER WAS HAVING TROUBLE HEATING UP THE CAB AS I WAS DRIVING. AT FIRST THE PROBLEM WAS INTERMITTENT AND THE HEATER WOULD WARM UP FOR A WHILE AND THEN GET COLD AGAIN. SHORTLY AFTER THAT I BEGAN TO NOTICE A VIBRATION OR SHUDDERING AT HIGHER SPEEDS AS IF I WAS HITTING A RUMBLE STRIP. I BEGAN DOING SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH SEVERAL NISSAN MODELS BETWEEN 2005 AND 2010. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THEY KNEW IMMEDIATELY WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AND WHAT WAS NEEDED TO REPAIR IT. THE RADIATOR DEVELOPS A CRACK THAT LEAKS INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND STARTS TEARING UP THE INTERNALS OF THE TRANSMISSION. THE DEALERSHIP RECOMMENDED REPLACEMENT OF BOTH THE RADIATOR AND THE TRANSMISSION. THE COST TO DO THIS REPAIR WAS ABOUT $5,100.00. THE COST WAS NOT COVERED IN THE NISSAN EXTENDED WARRANTY BECAUSE THE TRUCK HAD OVER 100,000 MILES. I AM EXTREMELY FRUSTRATED THAT NISSAN DOES NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR VEHICLES. I DID NOT RECEIVE ANY NOTICE FROM NISSAN THAT THERE WAS AN ENGINEERING DEFECT IN THEIR CARS. *TR

MY HUSBAND HAS 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER. WHEN HE DROVE A CAR GO TO WORK, SUDDENLY STOP AND AFTER THAT DIDN'T START ANY MORE. WE NEVER GOT INTO ACCIDENT BEFORE AND TAKING CARE OF TRUCK VERY GOOD. TOW COMPANY HAD TO TOW HIS TRUCK TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT'S COMPUTER PROBLEM SO COST $800, TAKES A WEEK TO FIX. AFTER A WEEK THEY CALLED US,SAID THEY FOUND ANOTHER PROBLEM SO COST $2000,TAKES ONE MORE WEEK. AFTER 2 WEEKS WE STILL DIDN'T HEAR ANYTHING FROM THEM.AFTER MORE THAN 1 MONTH FINALLY WE GOT CALL FROM NISSAN AND THEY STILL CAN'T FIX YET AND THEY FOUND SOMETHING WRONG AROUND TRANSMISSION AREA..... THEY SAID SEEMS LIKE HAD A FIRE OR BURN AROUND AREA AND EFFECTED TO ALL COMPUTER SYSTEM. SO NOW WE HAVE TO CHANGE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR WHICH IS COST $7000. IT'S MEAN WE HAVE TO PAY FIRST $2000 PLUS $7000 = $9000 JUST FIX FOR THE CAR. I GUESS WE STILL HAVE A EXTENSION WARRANTY ON THE TRUCK SO THEY CAN COVER $4000 BUT STILL A LOT FOR US CAUSE WE JUST PAID OFF PAYMENT ON THIS TRUCK. OFCOURSE I WAS THINKING TO BUY NEW CAR IF WE CAN TRADE IN THIS TRUCK BUT SALES PERSON SAID THEY DON'T TAKE THIS TRUCK BECAUSE THIS TRUCK IS TRASH? SO I WENT TO ONLINE TO SEARCH ABOUT NISSAN TRANSMISSION, CAME OUT A LOT. SO MANY SIMILAR TROUBLE HAS BEEN REPORTED.AND NOW IM REALLY HOPING YOU GUYS WILL ANNOUNCE THIS TRANSMISSION IS UNDER THE RECALL! IT'S NOT COUPLE HUNDREDS COST, IT'S MORE THAN COUPLE THOUSANDS COST FOR!! IT'S NOT CHEAP. DEALERSHIP IS JUST ADDING ALL COST THAT THEY DOING. IF IT'S OU

LETTER ON BEHALF OF CONSTITUENT REQUESTING ASSISTANCE IN GETTING THE AIRBAG SENSOR (WHICH WAS RECALLED) REPAIRED ON HIS 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER; REPLY TO ATTN: JOSIAH MANZO/ORLANDO OFFICE. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED NISSAN REFUSED TO FIX THE AIR BAGS ON HIS VEHICLE, EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE WAS RECALLED. THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER ON JANUARY 3, 2013. THE SERVICE ADVISOR INFORMED HIM, THE AIR BAG MODULE HAD FAILED INTERNALLY AND THE REPAIR ESTIMATE WAS $ 945.35. THE DEALER REFUSED REPAIR, BECAUSE THE CONSUMER DID NOT HAVE THE VEHICLE SERVICED THERE. *JB

MY TRUCK WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A TIMING CHAIN ISSUE DUE TO A WHINING FROM THE ENGINE.IF TIMING CHAIN FAILS THE ENGINE WILL LOSE POWER PUTTING PEOPLE AT RISK. NISSAN HAS KNOWN ABOUT THE ISSUE SINCE TSB # 07-042 ISSUED JULY 17 2007. I PURCHASED IN OCT 2007 HAD I HAD THIS INFORMATION AVAILABLE TO ME I WOULD HAVE MADE A DIFFERENT DECISION. IN APRIL 17 2009 ANOTHER TSB WAS ISSUED #07-042A, ON DECEMBER 14 2009 ANOTHER TSB #07-042C.SOMETIME BETWEEN 2006-2007 THE PRIMARY TIMING CHAIN TENSIONER WAS REDESIGNED. SO NISSAN WAS WELL AWARE THERE WAS AN ISSUE.THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT NEVER MENTIONED THIS ISSUE UNTIL I WAS OUT OF WARRANTY LEAVING ME ON THE HOOK FOR REPAIRS. THE TIMING CHAIN SHOULD LAST THE LIFE OF THE MOTOR .PLEASE OPEN AN INVESTIGATION ON THIS MATTER. NISSAN DID NOT DO ANYTHING FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS ABOUT THE RADIATOR TRANSMISSION CROSS CONTAMINATION UNTIL A CLASS ACTION SUIT WAS BROUGHT AGAINST THEM AND THEY LOST.THERE IS A CLASS ACTION SUIT IN PROCESS IN CALIFORNIA FOR THE TIMING CHAIN ISSUE.ANY ONE WHO HAS WHINING BUZZING IN THE ENGINE IN THEIR NISSAN FROM 2004-2007 WITH THE V-6 Q40 SHOULD FILE A COMPLAINT AS WELL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER. DURING A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE, THE TECHNICIAN INFORMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR NEEDED TO BE FLUSHED AND REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 109,500.

I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE 12-17-14, SINCE THE HEATER WAS NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND JUST FOUND OUT THE THAT RADIATOR CRACKED AND LEAKED RADIATOR FLUID INTO THE TRANSMISSION, POSSIBLY CONTAMINATING THE TRANSMISSION. THEY ARE REPLACING THE RADIATOR AND FLUSHING THE TRANSMISSION A FEW TIMES TO TRY TO SALVAGE THE TRANSMISSION. THEY INFORMED ME OF A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM BUT I'M PAST THE PERMITTED MILEAGE. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE USED IN 2012. THE SERVICE DEALER SAID THE RECALL INCLUDED A NEW RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION FOR $3800 BUT THAT THE DEDUCTIBLE WAS $3000??? THIS IS A SERIOUS DESIGN FLAW THAT SHOULD BE FULLY COVERED AND FIXED BY NISSAN! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL AND CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 08V690000 (AIR BAGS) BUT DID NOT CONFIRM IF THE VIN WAS INCLUDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000. UPDATED 01/23/15*LJ

I HAD JUST FILLED MY TANK WITH FUEL. I PULLED OF THE LOT OF THE STATION INTO TRAFFIC, NOTICE MY FUEL GAUGE DIDN'T NEVER REGISTER THE FUEL JUST ADDED. MOMENTS LATER THE LOW FUEL LIGHT CAME ON AND THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT ALSO. I CIRCLE BACK TO THE STATION WHERE THE FUEL WAS PURCHASE AND THE TRUCK BEGAN TO SPUTTER. I RETURN TO THE STATION AND PROCEEDED TO THE CLERK THAT SOLD ME THE FUEL AND EXPLAINED WHAT HAPPEN. I WAS THINKING IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL. CLERK STATED SHE WOULD RECORD MY CLAIM/ I LEFT THE STATION AND PROCEEDED TO DRIVE HOME WHERE I ARRIVE SAFELY. *TR

VEHICLE RAN OUT OF GAS WHEN THE GAS HAND WAS READING AT A QUARTER OF A TANK. IT HAPPENED AS I ENTERED TRAFFIC. *TR

FUEL GAUGE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. I BROUGHT THE TRUCK TO DEALER AND THEY DETERMINED IT WAS DUE TO FAULTY FUEL LEVEL SENSOR SENDING UNIT. COST: $511. *TR THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL SINCE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE IN THAT I COULD RUN OUT OF GAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND POSSIBLY BECOME INVOLVED IN A COLLISION. *TR

FUEL SENDING UNIT FUEL LIGHT ON AND SHOWS EMPTY SOMETIME WHEN IT IS ACTUALLY FULL. *TR

AIR BAG FLASHING LIGHT STAY ON CONTINUOUSLY. I HAVE TRIED RESETTING BUT IT ONLY WORK FOR A SHORT WHILE. I'M CONCERN THAT IN EVENT OF ACCIDENT AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY. PLEASE ADVICE. *TR

FIRST THING THAT HAPPENED THE GAS GAUGE JUST QUIT WORKING SECOND THE FUEL LINE STARTED LEAKING ON THE FRAME JUST AFTER GAS GAUGE FIXED THEN TRANSMISSION MESSED UP TRANSMISSION RADIATOR AND THERMOSTAT FIXED AND NO RUNNING HOT TOOK IT TO DEALER SAYS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT ALSO CODE IS SHOWING EGR VALVE. *TR

DEFECTIVE POWER TRAIN TRANSMISSION SYSTEM ON 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER. *TR

FUEL LEVEL SENSOR MALFUNCTION, TRUCK SHUT OFF WHILE SHOWING IT WAS HALF FULL OF GAS. I WAS IN THE PROCESS OF MOVING SO I HAD A TRUCK LOAD OF FURNITURE AND ALSO PULLING MY BOAT. I LUCKILY CARRY A HEAVY DUTY CHAIN WITH ME AND WAS ABLE TO GET SOMEONE TO TOW ME TO A GAS STATION. I THEN READ THAT NISSAN HAD RECALLED 2005-2008 MODELS BUT WHEN I CALLED MY PARTICULAR TRUCK WASN'T ONE OF THEM. IT DOESN'T REALLY MAKE SENSE TO ME IF MY TRUCK IS SHOWING THE SAME PROBLEMS WHY IT ISN'T RECALLED. THIS DIDN'T CAUSE THAT BIG OF AN ISSUE FOR ME BUT I FEEL LIKE THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND COULD PUT SOMEONE IN DANGER OF HAVING AN ACCIDENT. THE SEAL AROUND WHERE THE SENSOR CONNECTS DOESN'T HOLD SO GAS GETS IN AND CORRODES THE CONNECTING PINS CAUSING IT TO MALFUNCTION. THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME $400 TO FIX IT SO I BOUGHT THE PART ONLINE FOR $85 AND FIXED IT MYSELF. I DON'T FEEL LIKE THIS IS RIGHT AND NISSAN NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. *TR

THE D FOR DRIVE WOULD NO LONGER SHOW -TO TOOK IT TRANSMISSION PLACE AND THEY DETECTED COOLANT LEAK INTO TRANSMISSION. FOUND OUT NISSAN HAD LOST A CLASS ACTION SUIT OVER THIS AND REALIZED MY TRUCK IS OVER LIMIT FOR MILAGE THIS IS SECOND MAJOR REPAIR FOR THIS VEHICLE HAD A TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE REPLACED AND WAS PARTIALLY REIMBURSED AFTER A BIG FIGHT WITH DEALER AND NISSAN. WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER NISSAN AFTER THIS I HOPE YOU HANG THEM OUT TO DRY OVER THIS. *TR

I WAS DRIVING AND NOTICED THAT WHEN I SLOWED DOWN OR STOPPED, THEN TRIED TO GO AGAIN THE CAR HESITATED, THEN TOOK OFF FAST ALL AT ONCE. AT TIMES EVEN WHEN THE GAS PEDAL WAS FLOORED THE CAR WOULDN'T GO, THEN WOULD TAKE OFF. I TRIED CHANGING GAS, AN ADDITIVE, NOTHING HELPED. I HAD A NEIGHBOR DRIVE THE CAR AND HE SAID GET IT IN BEFORE YOU KILL SOMEONE. I CALLED A COUPLE OF SHOPS, BUT EVENTUALLY WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND TOLD THEM WHAT WAS HAPPENING. THEY DIAGNOSED A MAJOR ENGINE PROBLEM THAT THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT THAT WAS RULED AGAINST NISSAN. THEY SAID I NEEDED A 5000 DOLLAR REPAIR, BUT THEY WOULD ONLY CHARGE ME 2500 BECAUSE OF THE LAWSUIT. IT SEEMS THEY ONLY COVER FULL PRICE UP TO 80000 MILES. I WAS 600 MILES PAST THERE REPAIR LINE. I EXPLAINED THAT I HAD TRIED MANY THINGS, AND THE PROBLEM WAS GOING ON LONG BEFORE THE 80000 MILE MARK. I OFFERED PROOF BY CALLING THE SHOPS AND TRYING TO PUT THEM ON THE PHONE WITH NISSAN, THEY WOULD NOT TAKE THE PHONE. I CALLED THE NEIGHBOR TO TALK TO THEM AS PROOF THAT HE DROVE THE TRUCK MORE THAN A MONTH EARLIER AND THE PROBLEMS WERE SEVERE. THEY WOULD NOT TAKE THE PHONE. THEY EVENTUALLY GAVE ME THE NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS NUMBER, AND CONSUMER AFFAIRS GAVE ME A CASE NUMBER AND HAVE NOT RETURNED A CALL SINCE.WHENEVER I CALL THEY SAY SOMEONE WILL RETURN YOUR CALL BY THE END OF THE DAY, OF COURSE NOBODY DOES. MEANWHILE, THE PROBLEM IS GETTING WORSE, AND I AM GETTING SCARED TO EVEN DRIVE THE TRUCK ANYMORE. THEN I CAME ACROSS YOU GUYS AN

I HAVE BEEN HAVING THE FUEL GAUGE PROBLEMS WITH MY 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER THAT I NOW SEE SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT. IT HAS BEEN CLOSE TO A YEAR THAT I HAVE HAD THE ISSUE BUT I KNEW IT WAS THE FUEL LEVEL INDICATOR SENSOR CAUSING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME SO I DIDN'T GET IT FIXED. I WOULD FILL UP WITH GAS AND THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD STAY AT EMPTY (NO MATTER HOW MUCH FUEL WAS IN THE TANK WHEN I STARTED FUELING). THEN AFTER DRIVING UP TO 100 MILES THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD GO UP TO WHAT I ASSUME WAS AN ACCURATE READING. IT HAS BEEN ABOUT A MONTH NOW THE FUEL GAUGE HAS COMPLETELY QUIT WORKING. I WOULD FILL UP AT BETWEEN 250 MILES TO 300 MILES ON A TANK BECAUSE I KNEW I ALWAYS GOT OVER 300 MILES ON A TANK OF GAS. WELL, THIS MORNING ON MY WAY TO WORK I RAN OUT A GAS RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION. I AM VERY DISGUSTED TO SEE ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND NISSAN IS NOT WILLING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. ON TOP OF THAT, I THOUGHT A SMALLER PICKUP WITH A 6 CYLINDER ENGINE WOULD GET BETTER GAS MILEAGE THAN IS DOES. MY 2007 FRONTIER GETS LOUSY GAS MILEAGE. *TR

HAD FILLED THE TRUCK WITH GAS AT BEGINNING OF WEEK AND THE FUEL LEVEL WAS READING I STILL HAD A QUARTER OF GAS WHEN THE TRUCK STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. THE TRUCK WAS EMPTY. NOW I FILL UP AND THE FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT MOVE TO REGISTER FUEL LEVEL. *TR

PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ON 8/16/2014 AND I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE TO WORK AND TRANSMISSION WOULDN'T SHIFT OUT OF GEAR ALONG WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I SCANNED THE VEHICLE AND PULLED A CODE FOR THE TRANSMISSION OUTPUT SENSOR. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY SAID THEY FOUND COOLANT IN MY TRANSMISSION AND I WAS OUTSIDE OF THE PREVIOUS EXTENDED WARRANTY AND THEY'VE NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE. THEY TOLD ME I NEEDED A WHOLE NEW TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR. AND NISSAN WOULDN'T COVER ANY OF THE DAMAGES DUE TO IT BEING OUT OF THE LAST EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT WAS ADDED TO THE VEHICLE. NOW THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME $6,756 TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE I'VE OWED FOR LESS THAN A WEEK. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREET FUEL GAUGE READING OVER 1/4 TANK WENT TO MAKE A LANE CHANGE VEHICLE STARTED TO CUT OUT SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON THEN THE VEHICLE WENT COMPLETELY DEAD MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO STEER OR BRAKE OR PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD OUT OF TRAFFIC. HAD THE VEHICLE CHECKED AND WAS ADVISED AFTER HE READ THE CODE THAT THE FUEL SENSOR WAS FAULTY GIVING A FALSE READING ON THE AMOUNT OF FUEL REMAINING IN THE TANK AND THAT HE HAD HEARD OF A NISSAN RECALL ON THE FUEL SENSOR. AFTER I PUT MORE FUEL IN MY VEHICLE IT STARTED RIGHT UP BUT SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON. CONTACTED NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND WAS ADVISED THAT SOME 2007 NISSAN FRONTIERS AND OTHER MODEL OF THAT YEAR HAD SIMILAR ISSUES BUT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED FOR THAT PROBLEM. *TR

MY 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER FUEL GAUGE REMAINS PAST THE EMPTY MARK. IT STAYS THAT WAY EVEN WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. THIS ALSO CAUSES MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO STAY ON. THIS CAUSES ME NOT TO KNOW HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE LEFT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WAS READING INACCURATE FUEL LEVEL AS A RESULT THE CONTACT WAS UNAWARE WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS EMPTY. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAS MADE AWARE OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V075000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE), HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.
