TRANSMISSION FAILED DUE TO RADIATOR LEAKAGE INTO TRANSMISSION FLUID. JUST OUT OF WARRANTY! NISSAN CLAIMS POWERTRAIN WARRANTY WILL NOT COVER SINCE IT IS A RADIATOR PROBLEM WHICH CAUSES THE FAILURE. ----- LEAKING COOLANT CAUSES TRANSMISSION FAILURE AN ALARMING NUMBER OF NISSAN XTERRA, PATHFINDER AND FRONTIER OWNERS ARE STEPPING FORWARD WITH STORIES ABOUT HOW CRACKED RADIATORS ARE CAUSING COOLANT TO LEAK INTO THE TRANSMISSION. ONCE MIXED WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID THIS LETHAL COMBINATION KILLS THE VALVES, SEALS AND TORQUE CONVERTER -- RENDERING YOUR ENTIRE TRANSMISSION USELESS. THIS ISSUE IS CURRENTLY CONTAINED TO THE 2005'2010 MODEL YEARS. SOME ARTICLES ONLINE CLAIM THAT BEING AWARE OF THE PROPER WARNING SIGNS MAY HELP PREVENT YOUR NISSAN FROM NEEDING A REBUILT TRANSMISSION. THESE WARNING SIGNS ARE: HEAVY VIBRATION WHILE SHIFTING HEAVY VIBRATION WHILE ACCELERATING ABRUPT STALLING SHUDDERING NOISES CAR DOESN'T WARM UP WHEN SITTING OWNERS WHO HAVE HAD THEIR RADIATOR CRACK ARE CLAIMING THAT EVEN IF YOU CATCH IT EARLY, YOUR TRANSMISSION IS STILL DOOMED TROUBLE DUE TO THIS ENGINEERING / MANUFACTURING DEFECT. YOU CAN READ THEIR STORIES OVER AT CARCOMPLAINTS.COM FOR THE THREE NISSAN MODELS THAT ARE SHOWING THE DEFECT: PATHFINDER: 2007, 2006, 2005 XTERRA: 2005, 2006, 2007 FRONTIER: 2005. 2006, 2007 PERHAPS EVEN MORE TROUBLING IS OWNERS WHO HAVE ALREADY HAD THEIR TRANSMISSIONS "REPAIRED" BY AN AUTHORIZED NISSAN DEALER ARE STILL REPORTING CATASTROPHIC TRANSMISSION FAILURE. THROUGH NO FA

OVER THE COURSE OF APPROX 2 WEEKS THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED TRANSMISSION SLIPPAGE AND ENGINE OVERHEATING. THEN THE TRANSMISSION CEASED TO FUNCTION. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP. THE TRANSMISSION FAILED DUE TO RADIATOR COOLANT LEAKAGE INTO THE TRANSMISSION. THE VEHICLE NEEDED A COMPLETELY REBUILT AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, AND RADIATOR. TOTAL REPAIR FEES WERE $3495.00 INCLUDING TOWING. WAS TOLD BY TRANSMISSION SHOP THAT THIS WAS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM FOR NISSAN RADIATORS. CALLED NISSAN LOCAL DEALERSHIP, THEY QUOTED A PRICE OF OVER $5500.00 JUST FOR THE TRANSMISSION. RADIATOR AND TOWING WOULD BE EXTRA. I WAS INFORMED THAT NISSAN REFUSED TO OFFER WARRANTY OR OTHER COMPENSATION. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN A BACK ROAD. WHILE TRAVELING UP A SLIGHT HILL THE TRUCK SLIPPED OUT OF GEAR. WHEN I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL THE ENGINE WOULD REV BUT IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURNED OFF THE TRUCK. WHEN I RESTARTED AND PUT IT IN DRIVE I STARTED ROLLING BACKWARDS. I ENDED UP GETTING TOWED TO MY MECHANIC. IF THIS WAS THE ORIGINAL TRANSMISSION I COULD UNDERSTAND THAT AT 155K MILES IT COULD FAIL, HOWEVER THIS TRUCK HAS NOW GONE THROUGH THE FACTORY TRANSMISSION AS WELL AS A FACTORY REFURBISHED TRANSMISSION ALL WITHIN 7 YEARS. I READ ONLINE ABOUT MANY FRONTIER OWNERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AS I HAVE. I BROUGHT THE TRUCK TO MY MECHANIC WHO INFORMED ME THAT THE RADIATOR FAILS WHICH CAUSES THE TRANSMISSION TO FAIL. I FEEL LUCKY THAT I WAS ON A BACK ROAD BECAUSE THE FAILURE HAPPENED QUICKLY, HAD I BEEN ON A HIGHWAY WITH MODERATE TRAFFIC I COULD EASILY BEEN STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. *JS

TRANSMISSION COOLER FAILED...TRANSMISSION OIL LEAKED INTO THE ENGINE COOLANT AND ENGINE COOLANT LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION. THIS CAUSED THE ENGINE TO OVERHEAT AND THE TRANSMISSION TO FAIL. VEHICLE STALLED ON MAJOR ROADWAY WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING OF ANY PROBLEMS. *JS

THE TRANSMISSION COOLING UNIT IN THE RADIATOR LEAKED. MY COOLANT SYSTEM BECAME A BROWN SLUDGE DUE TO HAVING TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAK INTO IT. MY TRANSMISSION FLUID HAD COOLANT LEAK INTO IT AND TRANSMISSION IS DAMAGED. *TR

TRANSMISSION ABRUPTLY STOPPED TRANSFERRING POWER. OWNER CHECKED TRANSMISSION FLUID AFTER INCIDENT IN WHICH IT WAS FILLED WITH RADIATOR COOLANT AND RADIATOR HAD A MIX OF COOLANT AND TRANSMISSION FLUID. *TR

I WENT TO DRIVE THE TRUCK AND STARTED TO NOTICE THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPING. I CALLED NISSAN AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID THERE WAS NOT A RECALL FOR MY TRUCK. I HAVE SINCE FOUND OUT THE TRANSMISSION IS NO LONGER USABLE AND THAT MANY OTHER PEOPLE ARE NOTICING THE SAME PROBLEMS. *TR

TRUCK SUDDENLY RUNNING ROUGH. PLUGS REPLACED. TOOK IN FOR RELEARN IDLE. TOLD ME ALSO 3 OF 4 CATS CLOGGED AND COOLANT IN THE TRANSMISSION. KNEW NOTHING OF THIS ISSUE WITH THESE TRUCKS UNTIL I LOOKED ONLINE TO TRY AND FIGURE WHAT WAS HAPPENING WITH MY TRUCK. I AM SO ANGRY RIGHT NOW. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL AS IT TRULY IS A SAFETY HAZARD. TO IMAGINE THE THOUGHT OF DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND HAVE YOUR TRANNIE LOCK UP...? HELLO! THIS HAS CAUGHT ME UNAWARE AND I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THIS UNTIL NOW AND AT 127K MILES, I AM SOL ON ANY KIND OF REFUND, REPAIR, OR ANYTHING? THEY SHOULD BE LIABLE AS I SHOULD NOT BE IN THIS POSITION WITH NO RECOURSE FOR A KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE THAT IS NOW GOING TO COST ME MORE MONEY THAT I CAN AFFORD. THIS IS THEIR ISSUE AND THEY SHOULD FIX IT, NOT ME. THEY KNEW AND THEY SHOULD FIX. REGARDLESS, WHO KNOWS HOW MUCH ACTUAL DAMAGE THIS HAS CAUSED MY ENGINE NOW? I AM SO ANGRY RIGHT NOW.... DON'T KNOW WHAT I AM GOING TO DO NOW. BUT IF I BUY ANOTHER TRUCK, I DON'T THINK IT WILL BE A NISSAN...TOO MANY COVER UPS...NO RESPONSES OR FIXES... *TR

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER AND HAVE ONLY HAD IT SINCE FEB 2014 AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THERE IS A STRONG VIBRATION AT 40 MPH IN THE REAR END. SO I HAD THE TIRES BALANCED THEN RE BALANCED THINKING IT WAS THE TIRES. EVEN WENT AS FAR AS REPLACING THE REAR TIRES. AFTER THAT DID NOT CORRECT THE ISSUE I THEN TOOK IT TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY DETERMINED THAT IT WAS A FAILURE IN THE RADIATOR THAT LEAKED COOLANT INTO THE TRANSMISSION. THEY TOLD ME THAT MY RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION NEED TO BE REPLACED. IF I HAVE IT DONE BEFORE MY TRUCK REACHES 100K IT WILL ONLY COST ME 3000 TO GET IT FIXED AND NISSAN WILL PICK UP SOME OF THE COST. BUT IF I GO OVER 100K I WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FULL REPAIR COST. MY CURRENT MILEAGE IS 98910. I HAD PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY THROUGH THE PLACE I HAD PURCHASED THE TRUCK AND BECAUSE THEY DON'T COVER THE RADIATOR I AM NOW LIABLE FOR THE REPAIRS. SO NOW I AM AT A LOSS, JUST STARTED PAYING ON THE VEHICLE AND NOW I HAVE TO SPEND 3000 AT MIN TO GET IT FIXED. I SHOULD NOT BE PUTTING THIS KIND OF MONEY INTO THIS TRUCK AFTER OWNING IT FOR LESS THAN 6 MONTHS. *TR

COOLANT BACKED UP INTO TRANSMISSION AND DESTROYED THE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR. *TR

I TOOK MY TRUCK INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. I WAS TOLD THAT I NEED A NEW TIMING CHAIN. NISSAN HAS BEEN AWARE THAT THE TIMING CHAIN SYSTEMS INSTALLED IN THE SUBJECT NISSAN VEHICLES ARE PRONE TO PREMATURE FAILURE, AND NISSAN CONTINUED TO INSTALL DEFECTIVE TIMING CHAIN SYSTEMS IN THE SUBJECT NISSAN VEHICLES KNOWING THAT THEY WERE PRONE TO PREMATURE FAILURE. NISSAN NOT ONLY REFUSED TO DISCLOSE THE PROBLEM, BUT ALSO ACTIVELY CONCEALED KNOWLEDGE OF IT. NISSAN UNDERTOOK AFFIRMATIVE EFFORTS TO CONCEAL THE FAILURES THROUGH, AMONG OTHER THINGS, TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS ISSUED TO REPAIR FACILITIES. ALTHOUGH NISSAN WAS AWARE ENOUGH OF THE PROBLEM TO ISSUE MULTIPLE TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS TO REPAIR FACILITIES, INFORMING THEM OF THE NEED FOR TIMING CHAIN SYSTEMS TO BE REPLACED, NISSAN SELECTIVELY CHOSE NOT TO INFORM CONSUMERS OF THIS FACT. NISSAN CONCEALED THIS SO THAT THE WARRANTY PERIOD ON THE SUBJECT NISSAN VEHICLES WOULD EXPIRE BEFORE OWNERS BECOME AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THROUGH THIS PRACTICE, NISSAN UNLAWFULLY TRANSFERS THE COST OF REPLACEMENT FROM ITSELF TO THE OWNERS OF THE SUBJECT NISSAN. THE FACT THAT THE TIMING CHAIN SYSTEMS WERE PRONE TO SUDDEN PREMATURE FAILURE IS MATERIAL TO CONSUMERS BECAUSE IT PRESENTS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND PLACES THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS AT A RISK OF HARM. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER WHICH HAS ONLY A 122,431 MILES ON IT AND SOMETHING WENT WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION. WHEN I WAS GOING UP THE HILL IT WAS LIKE IT JUST STALLED OUT ON ME. I'VE BEEN DOING RESEARCH ON IT AND IT SEEMS LIKE ALOT OF OTHER PEOPLE IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND IT SEEMS LIKE NISSAN IS JUST TRYING TO HIDE THE PROBLEM. IF ITS SOMETHING THAT THEIR AT FAULT WITH THEY SHOULD BE THE ONE WHO FIXES IT. I DEPEND ON MY TRUCK EVERYDAY TO GET ME TO WORK AND IF ITS THE COOLANT AND TRANSMISSION FLUID IS MIXING ITS A VERY EXPENSIVE FIX WHICH I CAN'T AFFORD AND THE OTHER PEOPLE SHOULDN'T BE RELIABLE FOR SO I WISH U WOULD CONSIDER THIS AND DO AND INVESTIGATION ON IT AND TRY AND GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED BEFORE IT MESSES ANYBODY ELSE'S UP AND PUTS THEM OUT ALOT OF MONEY. THERE'S JUST TO MANY PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND IF U ALL DON'T DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT NISSAN IS JUST GOING TO KEEP DOING THE SAME THING TIL SOMEONE DOES SOMETHING ABOUT IT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME *TR

TRANSMISSION STARTED TO RUMBLE WHEN SHIFTING TO OVERDRIVE. LOOKED INTO THE ISSUE AND HEARD ABOUT THE CROSS CONTAMINATION ISSUE. LOOKED FOR SYMPTOMS AND FOUND THAT WATER HAD GOTTEN INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND FLUD IN MY RADIATOR. I HAVE SPEND HUNDREDS ON FLUSHING THEM OUT AND BYPASSING THE RADIATOR. TRANSMISSION IS STILL RUMBLING. THE EXTENDED WARRANTY DOES ME NO GOOD, FOR I AM OVER THE COVERED MILAGE LIMIT.

I WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE A RECALL DUE TO THE VIN BUT YET WHEN I WENT ON THE SAFECAR.GOV WEBSITE AND THE ISSUE'S THAT I AM HAVING WITH MY TRUCK IS WHAT IS ON THE LIST. WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THE PLACE THAT I GET IT REPAIR WILL NOT HONOR THIS. I HAVE THE ABS/VDC WHEEL SPEED SENSOR AND THE FUEL GAUGE ISSUES. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE DRIVER LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND CRASHED INTO A TREE. UPON IMPACT, THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED A BROKEN NECK, LACERATIONS TO THE HEAD, AND TWO BROKEN VERTEBRAE. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 107,000. UPDATED 7/7/14*CN THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS STRUCK ON THE LEFT REAR OF THE TRUCK THEN HIT A TREE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CONSUMER'S NECK WAS BROKE IN 3 PLACES, RECEIVED A WOUND ON THE HEAD THAT REQUIRED 30 STAPLES. UPDATED 7/14/2014 *JS

THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION STARTED SHIFTING "HARD" AND THE HEATER STOPPED WORKING. I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL SHOP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE RADIATOR FLUID HAD CONTAMINATED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID, AND VISA VERSA. I NEEDED TO HAVE A TRANSMISSION SHOP LOOK AT IT. THEY TOLD ME THE SAME THING AS THE PREVIOUS SHOP, BUT ALSO THAT I WOULD BE NEEDING A NEW TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR SYSTEM, AT THE COST OF $4848.00. THIS WAS DUE TO A FAILED TRANSMISSION FLUID COOLER LOCATED IN THE RADIATOR ASSEMBLY THAT ALLOWED COOLANT TO MIX WITH AND CONTAMINATE THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID, RESULTING IN DAMAGED INTERNAL TRANSMISSION COMPONENTS AND A DAMAGED INTERNAL TRANSMISSION COMPUTER. AFTER RESEARCHING, THIS HAS OCCURRED TO HUNDREDS OF NISSAN VEHICLES, INCLUDING 2005-2010 NISSAN PATHFINDER, FRONTIER AND XTERRA VEHICLES. NISSAN HAS BEEN AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM SINCE 2007 AND HAS UNDERTAKEN NO PREVENTIVE MEASURES TO PROTECT CONSUMERS FROM FAILURE. *TR

THE TRANSMISSION HAD BEEN SHUTTERING AND SLIPPING FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS. IT WAS GETTING WORSE SO I TOOK IT TO KINGS TRANSMISSION ON 3-13-14 TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. THEY DISCOVERED WATER IN THE FLUID AND INFORMED ME THAT THIS MODEL OF VEHICLE HAD A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM WITH THE RADIATOR FAILING AND LEAKING COOLANT INTO THE TRANSMISSION COOLING LINES. THE TRUCK IS NOW AT A NISSAN DEALER GETTING A NEW TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT IMMEDIATELY AFTER REFUELING, THE FUEL LEVEL GAUGE WOULD NOT MOVE TO REGISTER THE FUEL LEVEL. ADDITIONALLY, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10V075000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE) HOWEVER, THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE YEAR AND MODEL WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL CAMPAIGN ALTHOUGH HE WAS EXPERIENCED THE SAME FAILURES. THE MANUFACTURE WAS ALERTED OF THE FAILURE AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO HAVE THE VEHICLE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 109,000.

NO POWER TO WHEELS...TRANSMISSION COOLANT AND ENGINE COOLANT MIX TOGETHER DUE TO MALFUNCTION IN RADIATOR CAUSING CATASTROPHIC TRANSMISSION FAILURE. COST TO REPLACE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION IS $5200...RESEARCH ON THIS MATTER INDICATES THAT NISSAN CORP. KNEW OF THE PROBLEM AND THAT A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT COVING THIS DEFECT HAS BEEN APPROVED, BUT, THE DEADLINE TO APPLY HAS PASSED...MY TRUCK JUST BROKE AND IT IS NOW TOO LATE TO REGISTER FOR THE APPROVED CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT. HOW CAN I GET REIMBURSED LIKE SO MANY OTHERS HAVE??? *TR

TRUCK BEGIN SHUTTERING AND SHIFTING HARD. TOOK IT TO NISSAN AND THEY SAID THE COOLANT HAD MIXED WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND I WILL NEED NEW TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR. COST ABOUT 5500.00. NISSAN SERVICE TOLD ME THE FIRST TIME EVERYTHING WAS OKAY. ONLY AFTER I TOOK IT IN THE SECOND TIME AFTER I HAD 100,000 MILES THEN THEY TOLD ME ABOUT THE LEAK. NISSAN REFUSED TO PAY FOR ANY OF THIS. *TR

I PURCHASED THIS TRUCK FROM A USED CAR AUTO DEALER WITH 137,477 MILES ON IT. THEIR WARRANTY WAS UP BEFORE I WAS AWARE I HAD A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT GOT PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. WHILE DRIVING LOCALLY AND ON THE HIGHWAY AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 35 AND 65 MPH THE TRUCK STARTED TO SHAKE AND VIBRATE INTERMITTENTLY WHICH CAUSED AN ERRATIC CONTROL OF THE TRUCK. AFTER APPROACHING SEVERAL AUTO REPAIR SHOPS ABOUT THE ISSUE NO ONE SEAMED TO HAVE A SOLUTION EXCEPT ONE. THEY TOLD ME THAT A CLASS ACTION SUIT WAS ISSUED AGAINST NISSAN ABOUT A DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR COMBINATION COOLER CROSS CONTAMINATE PROBLEM THAT DESTROYS THE TRANSMISSION LUBRICATE AND ELECTRICAL SHIFTING FUNCTIONS OF THE TRANSMISSION. IT COST ME $3,728.95 TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND I WOULD LIKE TO GET MY MONEY BACK FROM NISSAN IF POSSIBLE. ALL POST ABOUT THE CLASS ACTION SUIT PUTS ME OUTSIDE ON THE INITIAL SETTLEMENT. THANK YOU *TR

MY FRONTIER HAD A FLAT TIRE AND WHEN MY SPARE TIRE WAS LOWERED, THERE WERE 4 SPOTS OF THE TIRE THAT HAD BEEN WORN THROUGH THE SIDE WALL. I TRIED ANOTHER TIRE FROM A 2011 FRONTIER AND THE TIRE WAS THE SAME EXACT WAY. THE WAY ITS MOUNTED IS THE PROBLEM. *TR

MY WIFE RAN OUT OF FUEL ON THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING OUR 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER. I CALLED NISSAN SINCE A VOLUNTARY RECALL FOR THE FUEL GAUGE NOT WORKING WAS ISSUED BY NISSAN, SEE: HTTP://WWW.NISSANASSIST.COM/WEB/FUEL-SENDING-UNIT/PROGRAMDETAILS.PHP?MENU=3 NOW THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT THE RECALL ENDED IN FEB 2013, I BOUGHT THE TRUCK USED IN 2012 WITH 36,000 MILES ON IT. THE LETTER THAT NISSAN PUBLISHED SPECIFIES THAT THE WARRANTY WAS EXTENDED TO 72,000 MILES WITHOUT A YEAR SPECIFIED ON THE LETTER, MY TRUCK ONLY HAS 52,000 MILES AND NISSAN REFUSES TO FIX MY TRUCK. INSTEAD THEY SENT ME TO A DEALER THAT WANTS $500+ TO FIX IT. THIS SHOULD BE A MANDATORY RECALL, MY WIFE COULD HAVE BEEN IN A ACCIDENT DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. *TR

THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN FANTASTIC IN EVERY WAY BUT ONE. ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR STAYED ON AFTER THE BLINKING STOPPED. NORMALLY IT WOULD BLINK A FEW TIMES AND QUIT. AFTER I CHECKED THE TIRES AND MADE SURE THEY WERE ALL AT 35LBS, I TRIED THE OLD TRICK OF DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY TO MAKE THE COMPUTER RE BOOT. IN THIS CASE THAT DIDN'T WORK, SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. THEY SAID EVERYTHING WORKED FINE, BUT I HAD A HARD CODE. THEY CLEARED IT AND I WENT ON MY WAY. WORKED OK THAT DAY AND THE NEXT START BUT AFTER THAT I GOT THE HARD CODE AGAIN. MY TIRES WERE STILL AT 35 LBS. SO ABOUT A MONTH LATER, THE NEXT TIME I DROVE BY THE DEALERSHIP, I WENT IN AGAIN. SAME REPLY, SAME RESULT. ITS BEEN ABOUT A YEAR NOW AND IM OVER 100K. WANNA BET IF I GO BACK, THEY FIND AND FIX THE PROBLEM THIS TIME. COURSE NOW I HV TO PAY INSTEAD OF NISSAN. *TR

GAS GAUGE QUIT WORKING GOES BETWEEN HALF AND QUARTER TANK AND STOPS, LETTING YOU RUN OUT OF GAS. NEXT ITEM IS TIMING CHAIN HOWL ON COLD STARTS FOR OVER A YEAR NOW THEN I READ BULLETIN THAT CHAIN TENSIONERS ARE WEARING AND CAUSING TIMING CHAIN FAILURES AND NISSAN HAS NEVER NOTIFIED OWNERS I WAS JUST IN TO DEALER ABOUT GAS GAUGE PROBLEM ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO AND NO ONE MENTIONED TIMING CHAIN PROBLEM. *TR

NISSAN FRONTIER 2007 - TRANSMISSION STARTED ACTING FUNNY MAKING A RUMBLING SOUND. TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE AND FOUND THAT THE RADIATOR HAD LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION. YES, COMMON PROBLEM IT WOULD SEEM. BIT THE BIGGEST PROBLEM IS THAT TO GET IT BACK ON THE ROAD SAFELY IS GOING TO COST THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS! AND NISSAN KNEW, HAS KNOWN AND KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BUT HAS DONE NOTHING TO FIX IT!!! THEY SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR A PROBLEM THAT IS SO WIDE SPREAD! *TR

AN INTERNAL CRACK ON THE OIL COOLER TUBE CAUSED INTERNAL LEAKAGE OF ENGINE COOLANT INTO THE TRANSMISSION CAUSING TRANSMISSION FAILURE. *TR

I WAS RETURNING HOME FROM TOWNSHEND, A DISTANCE OF APPROXIMATELY 35 MILES THROUGH THE BACK ROADS OF VERMONT. THESE ROADS ARE VERY RURAL OVER DIRT ROADS COVERED IN ICE AND LIGHT SNOW. THE TRANSMISSION STARTED TO BUCK AND THE WHEELS STARTED TO 'CHATTER.' MY WIFE HAD BORROWED THE TRUCK TO MAKE A RUN TO THE DUMP EARLIER IN THE WEEK AND MENTIONED THE CHATTER IN THE WHEELS AND THAT THE TRUCK SHOULD BE TAKEN TO THE GARAGE. HOWEVER, I WAS UNABLE TO GET A REPEAT OF THE PROBLEM UNTIL FRIDAY. THE CHATTERING MADE THE TRUCK SLIP ON THE ROAD AND VEER CLOSE THE DROP OFF ABOVE THE CREEK ALONG AUGUR HOLE ROAD. I PULLED OVER TO THE FAR SIDE OF THE ROAD AWAY FROM THE DROP OFF UNTIL THE ENGINE COOLED DOWN. IT WAS 7 DEGREES OUT AT THE TIME!! THE NEAREST HELP WOULD BE A COUPLE OF HOUSES A MILE OR SO AWAY! THERE WAS NO WARNINGS FROM ANY OF THE SYSTEMS! NOT EVEN A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT! IT TOOK ABOUT AN HOUR AND A HALF TO COOL DOWN AND I WAS ABLE TO LIMP THE CAR HOME. I INTEND TO NOTIFY OUR SENATORS AND CONGRESSMAN OF THE ISSUE AT PLAY HERE IN VERMONT. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED BY A SIMPLE RECALL!!! WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? HOW MANY CARS AND TRUCKS ARE AFFECTED BY THIS DESIGN/ENGINEERING FLAW IN THESE SYSTEMS?? *TR

MY 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER DEVELOPED SHUDDERING IN THE TRANSMISSION. IT HAS RECEIVED ALL REGULAR SERVICE AT 3,000 MILE INTERVALS. TODAY I WAS TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS CONTAMINATED WITH RADIATOR COOLANT DUE TO FAILURE OF THE RADIATOR AND WILL COST $6200.00 I NOTE INNUMERABLE EXAMPLES OF RADIATOR FAILURES WITH CATASTROPHIC TRANSMISSION FAILURE IN THE PUBLIC FORUMS AND NISSAN AGREED TO A CLASS-ACTION SETTLEMENT UP TO 100,000 MILES WITH A $2500 DEDUCTIBLE. MOST VEHICLES ARE OVER 100,000 MILES. THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT WHICH SHOULD BE SUBJECT TO A VEHICLE RECALL. *TR

I HAD BEEN NOTICING MY AUTOMATIC TRUCK SHUTTER BEFORE THUMPING INTO GEAR MONTHS BEFORE I ACTUALLY TOOK THE TRUCK INTO THE NISSAN DEALERS SHOP FOR ANALYSIS. WHEN THEY INSPECTED, I WAS TOLD MY TRANSMISSION HAD BEEN DAMAGE DUE TO CONTAMINATION BY ENGINE COOLANT AND I WOULD NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. THE SOURCE OF THE CONTAMINATION IS A CRACKED ATF LINE THAT RUNS THROUGH AN ENGINE COOLANT CHAMBER IN THE RADIATOR. THIS DEFECTIVE PART AND DESIGN CAME DIRECTLY FROM THE NISSAN FACTORY. NISSAN KNEW ABOUT THE DEFECT AND FAILED TO NOTIFY THE CONSUMER OR REPLACE THE FAILED TRANSMISSIONS @ NO COST. PLEASE ADVISE OF ANY RECALLS AND RESULTS FROM THE INVESTIGATION. *TR

I WAS TRAVELING SOUTH ON HIGHWAY 94 GOING HOME FROM MY CLASS. THE ROAD WAS SLIGHTLY WET FROM SNOW PRIOR IN THE DAY. I WAS GOING ABOUT 60MPH WHEN MY VEHICLE FELT AS IF MY BACK TIRES WERE SPINNING OR MAKING LIKE A QUICK SLIP. IT CONTINUED DOING THIS SO I SLOWED DOWN TO 45MPH. WAS STILL HAPPENING REPEATEDLY. OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL MONTHS IT CONTINUED, I WAS THINKING I MIGHT NEED NEW TIRES, EVEN THOUGH THE ONES I HAD ON THE TRUCK SEVERAL PEOPLE SAID THEY WERE FINE. WHEN THE WEATHER WARMED UP AND WE NO LONGER HAS SNOW I DIDN'T NOTICE THE "QUICK SPIN OF MY TIRES" ISSUE AS MUCH. I PURCHASED NEW TIRES IN NOVEMBER OF 2013 AND STILL AM EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. IT'S A VERY SCARY FEELING, YOU DON'T KNOW IF YOUR GOING TO HAVE YOUR TIRES SPIN QUICKLY LIKE THAT AND GO INTO A FULL SPIN AND ROLL. ALSO YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN ITS GOING TO HAPPEN, IT JUST DOES IT WHEN IT WANTS TO. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY TRUCK WHEN IT BEGAN TO SLIP AT ROUND 45 MPH. THE SHIFTING THEN BECAME VERY HARD. I LOOKED ON-LINE AND SAW WEBSITES DISCUSSING TRANSMISSION/RADIATOR PROBLEMS. I OPENED MY RADIATOR AND SAW IT WAS VERY MILKY IN COLOR. TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND TOLD THAT I NEEDED A NEW RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION BECAUSE OF A KNOWN PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH. THE FUEL SENSOR GAUGE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT COOLANT LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION ERRONEOUSLY AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO STALL. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHERE A DIAGNOSTIC TEST WAS PERFORMED. THE DEALER CONFIRMED THAT RADIATOR FLUID WAS LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURE REGARDING THE RADIATOR LEAK AND WAS ADVISED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000. UPDATED 01/09/14*LJ

CATALYTIC CONVERTERS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. WE HAVE THREE TRUCKS THAT ARE IDENTICAL, THIS IS SECOND OF THE THREE THAT THE CONVERTERS WENT BAD (APPROX SAME MILEAGE). FIRST TRUCK ENGINE WENT BAD 5 MONTHS LATER. WE'LL SEE IF THE ENGINE HOLDS UP IN THIS TRUCK ALSO. THIRD TRUCK OF THE SET LUCKILY NO ISSUES BUT WE READ THAT A LOT OF CONVERTERS ON NISSANS ARE FAILING AND CAUSING SERIOUS ENGINE DAMAGE. NISSAN TOLD US THEY COULD NOT HELP, BUT TO FILE COMPLAINT WITH YOUR AGENCY. SO HERE WE ARE. THANKS *TR

CATALYTIC CONVERTERS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. ENGINE WENT BAD 5 MONTHS LATER AND NOW VEHICLE NEEDS CONVERTERS AGAIN! THIS IS ONE OF THREE TRUCKS WE HAVE - ALL EXCACTLY ALIKE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE AIR BAG WARNING LAMP ILLUMINATED UNTIL THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 08V690000 (AIR BAGS) AND WAS ADVISED BY THE MANUFACTURER THAT THE VIN WAS INELIGIBLE FOR REPAIRS UNDER THE RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 132,000.

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE STARTING THE TRUCK. IT WAS PLACE ON THE DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE AND THE RESULT WAS THAT A SENSOR IN THE GAS TANK WAS NOT WORKING. I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ONE WEEK AFTER THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. THE NOTICE STATED THAT THE WARRANTY WOULD TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM. I EMAILED NISSAN TO COMPLAIN AND NEVER HEARD FROM THEM. *TR

OUR TRUCK OVERHEATED ON 10/17/13. THE GARAGE INFORMED US THE INTERNAL RADIATOR HAD BUSTED AND HAD LEAKED ANTIFREEZE INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND TRANSMISSION FLUID INTO THE RADIATOR. ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC IT HAD BEEN THIS WAY FOR AWHILE. THERE WAS NOTHING TO INDICATE THERE WAS A PROBLEM THIS MAJOR. NISSAN COULD NOT EXPLAIN HOW THIS COULD HAVE HAPPENED NOR WHY ONLY THAT IF WE GIVE THEM 2500 THEY WILL REPLACE THE RADIATOR AND THE TRANSMISSION. THIS RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION ARE BOTH FACTORY INSTALLED. I THINK THIS IS A DEFINITE SAFETY ISSUE AS THIS WILL CAUSE THE ENGINE TO OVERHEAT AND THE TRANSMISSION TO GO OUT AND LEAVE YOU STRANDED. THIS IS A VERY COSTLY REPAIR THAT MOST PEOPLE CANNOT UNDERTAKE. SO FAR WE HAVE PAID $300 FOR A "BAND-AID" FIX UNTIL WE CAN FIND A WAY TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. THIS IS A DEFINITE PROBLEM WITH THE FRONTIER 4.0L AND IT'S ONLY FAIR TO SAY THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE FACTORY RADIATORS. *TR

DIAGNOSED AS A FAILED TRANSMISSION COOLER WHICH ALLOWS COOLANT TO MIX WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID, CAUSING INTERNAL DAMAGE TO THE COMPONENTS. THERE WAS NO WARNING PRIOR TO THIS CATASTROPHIC EVENT - IT JUST ALL OF A SUDDEN HAPPENED. THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR HAD TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $7,000 - NISSAN DID NOT COVER $3,000 OF THIS AS THEY SAID IT WAS A "DEDUCTIBLE" - HOW CAN YOU HAVE A DEDUCTIBLE ON A DESIGN FLAW? *TR

FUEL INDICATOR READS EMPTY WHEN TANK IS FULL. *TR
