    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.

    Radiator coolant leaked into transmission after125,000 miles

  • Filed Dec 2022

    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.

  • Filed May 2022 · Also filed under Engine

    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.

IT MAKES ME ANGRY THAT I JUST PAID $317.44 TO REPLACE TIRE SENSORS THAT MAY NOT HAVE BEEN NEEDED!! THE RADIATOR ISSUE RESULTED IN A $417.44 EXPENSE THAT MAY NOT HAVE BEEN NECESSARY ($100 FOR A DIAGNOSIS). THE TRUCK WAS PARKED IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE. I ATTEMPTED TO START THE CAR ON 12/6/15, IT WOULDN'T START. THINKING IT WAS A BATTERY ISSUE, I WAITED UNTIL THE NEXT MORNING; ONLY TO FIND OUT IT WASN'T THE BATTERY. I CALLED BOARDWALK NISSAN AND HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSTICS & REPAIRS ONLY TO FIND OUT IT WOULD COST ME $10,500.

    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.

    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

    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

    IN FEBRUARY OF 2013 MY 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER BEGAN TO DISPLAY A TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. REGARDLESS OF THE TIRE PRESSURE IN EACH TIRE, THE LIGHT REMAINED ON. IT FLASHED WITH ENGINE START UP BEFORE BEING STEADILY ILLUMINATED. ALSO, IN LATE MARCH 2013 THE FUEL GAUGE BEGAN TO INDICATE A PROBLEM. UPON FILLING UP THE VEHICLE'S FUEL TANK THE GAUGES NEEDLE WOULD FALL TO E (EMPTY), THE LOW FUEL INDICATOR LIGHT WOULD ILLUMINATE, AND THE NEEDLE WOULD REMAIN ON E UNTIL DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20-25 MILES. WHEN THE NEEDLE REACHED F (FULL) THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON (SES) LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND REMAIN ON UNTIL THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN ENOUGH TO BURN APPROXIMATELY HALF THE TANK OF FUEL. AFTER RESEARCHING THE ISSUE ONLINE IT IS APPARENTLY QUITE COMMON WITH NISSAN FRONTIERS, XTERRAS, AND PATHFINDERS IN THIS RANGE OF PRODUCTION YEARS (E.G. 2007). ON JUNE 11, 2013 I FINALLY TOOK THE FRONTIER TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP. AN EVALUATION WAS MADE, AND THE SERVICE STAFF IDENTIFIED THE TROUBLE AS BEING A TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR AND FUEL SENDING UNIT FOR THE RESPECTIVE CAUSES OF TROUBLE. MY ONLINE RESEARCH CORROBORATES THIS. I RECEIVED AN ESTIMATE OF APPROXIMATELY $793 FOR REPAIR OF THE TWO COMPONENTS. NISSAN NEEDS TO CONTINUE TO PROVIDE WARRANTY/FREE REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT FOR THESE COMPONENTS AS THEY CONTINUE TO BE FAULTY BASED ON COPIOUS INTERNET RESEARCH. BOTH OF THESE FAULTS PRESENT A HAZARD TO DRIVERS AND OCCUPANTS AS THE DISPLAY CENTER, WHICH A DRIVER MAY RELY ON FOR VEHICLE INFORMATION, WILL NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY WHEN NEEDED SO THAT A DRIVER IS NOT CERTAIN WHAT LEVEL OF FUEL IS AVAILABLE IN THE TANK, AND IF/WHEN A TIRE IS LOW OR FLAT. THIS MAY RESULT IN THE DRIVER BEING STRANDED WITHOUT AVAILABILITY OF ASSISTANCE AS WELL AS A VEHICLE ACCIDENT. *TR

    ENTERING 4 LANE HIGHWAY WITH 70 MPH TRAFFIC. KICKED FRONTIER INTO PASSING GEAR TO ENTER ONGOING TRAFFIC. FRONTIER STALLED AND SLOWED INSTEAD OF INCREASING SPEED. TRANSMISSION SLIPPAGE AND JERKING CAUSED MOTOR TO INCREASE RPMS. I HAD TO MOVE MY TRUCK OVER TO RIGHT OF PAVED LANE AND ONTO PULLOFF AREA IN ORDER TO PREVENT ACCIDENT. I WAS TOLD AT THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP THAT I HAD TRANSMISSION DAMAGE DUE TO RADIATOR FLUID LEAKING INTO TRANSMISSION . IT COST ME $2500 TO REPAIR A PROBLEM THAT COULD HAVE COST LIVES. I UNDERSTAND THIS WAS A PROBLEM THAT WAS NOT RECALLED BY NISSAN.

    AS I PULLED INTO MY PARKING SPACE, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED, AND BEFORE I COULD STAND ON THE BRAKES IT HAD JUMP FORWARD ABOUT 6 FEET ONTO THE SIDEWALK IN FRONT OF MY BUILDING. WHILE STANDING ON THE BRAKES, THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE, REAR TIRES SPINNING AND SMOKING, UNTIL I SHUT THE ENGINE OFF. NOTE THAT I WAS JUST TURNING INTO MY PARKING SPACE, RUNNING AT AN IDLE AND PREPARING TO STOP WHEN THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION OCCURRED. FORTUNATELY, I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND I WAS ABLE TO STOP BEFORE SLAMMING INTO THE BUILDING.

    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.

    MY TRUCKS STEERING SYSTEM IS MAKING A LOUD NOISE WHEN TURNING AND GOING OVER BUMPS AT LOW SPEED. WHEN MY TRUCK IS RAISED UP AND I TURN THE STEERING WHEEL THERE IS NO NOISE. WHEN I LOWER IT DOWN ON THE GROUND AND TURN THE WHEEL WHEN PARKED IT MAKES THE LOUD NOISE. I CHECKED RECALLS AND THERE SEEMS TO BE ONE FOR SOME STEERING WHEEL ISSUE, BUT WHEN I CALLED NISSAN THEY SAID MY VEHICLE WAS NOT AFFECTED BY THAT RECALL. AFTER READING CUSTOMER REVIEWS, MY VEHICLE IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS THAT THOSE CUSTOMERS VEHICLES WERE HAVING THAT WERE AFFECTED BY THE RECALL. I AM CURIOUS IF NOT ENOUGH COMPLAINTS FILED FOR THIS SPECIFIC YEAR. BECAUSE WHY WOULD MY VEHICLE STEERING BE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES AS THE VEHICLES THAT WERE HAVING THAT WERE LISTED ON THE RECALL.

EXPIERIENCED BRAKE PROBLEM AT 20K MILES, REPLACED BY DEALER, HAD LOW SPEED WHINE AND BRAKE PEDAL DROP TO FLOOR AND 35 TO 40 MPH JUDDER AND VIBRATION. WENT BACK TO DEALER, THEY CHECKED AND NOTICED THE DRIVE SHAFT WAS COMMING APART, THEY REPLACED WITH NEW ONE, IDICATED IT WAS DEFECTIVE FROM VENDOR. I HAVE HAD THIS TRUCK BACK INTO DEALER FOUR TIMES SINCE WITH THE SAME RE-OCCURING PROBLEMS. THEY CAN'T FIND THE SOURCE OR THE PROBLEM. ZONE MGR. FOR MIDWEST DROVE THE VEHICLE AND INDICATED THAT THEY CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM AND THEY WILL NOT REPLACE ANYTHING ELSE. I WAS TOLD TO TAKE IT TO THE BBB IF I WANTED A SOLUTION UNDER CURRENT LEMON LAWS. HE ALSO INDICATED IT WILL PROBABLY FALL APART DOWN THE ROAD-COMPLETE AND UTTER DIS-REGARD FOR MY SAFETY. THEY ARE IN COMPLETE DENIAL THAT THEY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. IS IT JUST NOW THAT TOYOTA HAD A RECALL FOR BROKEN/CRACKED YOKES ON TACOMA'S AND NISSAN IS EXEMPT? DON'T THEY ALL BUY PARTS FROM DANA CORP.? NISSAN HAS EXPERIENCED A LARGE SALES SURGE AND ARE EXPANDING JUST LIKE GM HAD IN THE 70'S. THEY DON'T HAVE TIME/TALENT TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR PROBLEMS JUST MORE NEW VEHICLES, MORE ENGINEERING PROBLEMS, PUSH IT OUT THE DOOR AND LET THE DEALERS TAKE CARE OF PROBLEMS. THIS SOMEHOW HAS A FAMILIAR RING TO IT LIKE TOYOTA'S PROBLEM WITH ACCELERATION! KEEP RELIEING ON ELECTRONIC CONTROLS TO RUN THE VEHICLES AND TAKE AWAY CONTROL FROMTHE DRIVER. THE AUTO COMPANIES NEED TO BE INVESTIGATED FURTHER FOR SAFETY COMPLIANCE AS MADISON AVENUE COMMERCIALS ALUDE TO THE FACT THAT ALL OF THESE SAFETY FEATURES THAT ARE INCORPORATED INTO VEHICLES WORK FLAWSLEY WHEN THEY ACTUALLY DON'T! HOW MANY MORE PEOPLE HAVE TO BE KILLED OR SERIOUSLY INJURED WITH THESE SO-CALLED SAFE VEHICLES, MADE IN USA WITH CHEAP CHINA MADE PARTS! I'M SURE THERE ARE MORE VEHICLES OUT ON THE ROAD WITH THESE SAME RE-OCCURING PROBLEMS NOT BEING REPLACED OR REPAIRED DUE TO MFGR. DEFECTS AND PROBLEMS!!!

HE THEN HAD A TOWING COMPANY TOW THE TRUCK DOWN TO THE DEALERSHIP TO PREVENT ANOTHER ACCIDENT. DEALER HAD THE TRUCK FOR A WEEK BUT COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE TRUCK. THEY NOTED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS SOFT BUT IT SHOULD BE OKAY. THEY COULD NOT GET THE MOTOR TO RACE SO THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING. THEY DID ALL THE TEST THAT THEY COULD BUT INFORMED ME THAT THEY CAN'T FIX SOMETHING THEY CANNOT FIND.
