2006 NISSAN FRONTIER Engine Problems

The contact owns a 2006 Nissan Frontier. The contact stated that the vehicle was leaking oil. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact drove the vehicle to a local dealer who diagnosed that the valve cover gasket needed to be replaced. Additionally, the spark plugs needed to be replaced. The dealer later called the contact and informed the contact that the bank #1 and #2 cam sensors and the coil packs needed to be replaced. The contact stated that the dealer later called back and stated that the vehicle was making an abnormal sound and upon performing a diagnostic test, the dealer advised that the timing chain needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired and remained at the dealer. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 110,000.

Truck will turn on once in awhile and I was told it is the ipdm module and that there's a recall on the part. What can I do to get the part sent to me since there is a recall and the mechanic told me that with a recall I can get the part sent to me at no cost to me

On June 30, July 6 and 9th 2021 I was driving down the street at 50 miles p/hr. And the truck just stopped in the middle of the road. No engine just stopped. I called the NHtSAAnd reported this according to the October 28th 2010NHtSA campaign number 10V517000 engine Control Model. It was recalled and supposedly repaired. The person I talked to Kathyrn said that it had been recalled and fixed so it was no longer a recall problem. This vechile is a safety recall and still is, It should be fixed, it was evidently not fixed before.

ON 2/2/2019, I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO AAMCO TRANSMISSIONS TO HAVE MY TRANSMISSION CHECKED, BECAUSE PRIOR TO THIS DATE I WAS EXPERIENCING ALOT OF JERKING AND OTHER ISSUES, ESPECIALLY ON THE HIGHWAY. AFTER AAMCO TECHS LOOKED OVER MY TRANSMISSION, I WAS CONTACTED & INFORMED THAT I HAD A DEFECTIVE RADIATOR THAT HAD CONTAMINATED MY TRANSMISSION, DUE TO THE RADIATOR LEAKING COOLANT INTO MY TRANSMISSION. I WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT NISSAN HAD A LAWSUIT REGARDING THIS VERY PROBLEM, WHICH I WAS IN SHOCK, SINCE NO ONE HAD EVER ADVISED ME THROUGH MAIL, EMAIL, OR EVEN WORD OF MOUTH. MY FRONTIER IS A 2006, BUT I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN MAY OF 2007, & ON 2/2/2019, MY FRONTIER ONLY HAD 80,034 MILES ON IT. I'M DISABLED, & I NEED MY VEHICLE FOR DOCTOR APPTS, & FOR MY TWO CHILDREN AS WELL. THE MOST FRUSTRATING PART OF IT ALL IS, I TAKE MY FRONTIER TO THE LOCAL NISSAN TO HAVE THEM DO THE OIL CHANGES & TIRE ROTATIONS WHENEVER ITS DUE, & THEY ALWAYS CHECK ALL OF MY FLUIDS AT THE SAME TIME. IN ADDITION, THIS ISSUE AROUSE IN 2006 BEFORE I PURCHASED THE FRONTIER, BUT NOTHING WAS EVER CONVEYED TO ME ABOUT ANY ISSUES WITH THIS PARTICULAR YEAR OR MODEL. SINCE THERE WERE 3-4 MODELS AFFECTED BETWEEN 2005 THRU 2010. I HAD AAMCO REPLACE THE RADIATOR & TRANSMISSION, WHICH COST ME $4,000.00, & MY FRONTIER ONLY HAD 80,000 MILES ON IT, I'VE NEVER HEARD OR EVEN EXPERIENCED SUCH AN ISSUE, ESPECIALLY WITH SUCH LOW MILEAGE BEFORE! I EVEN REACHED OUT TO NISSAN CORPORATE OFFICE, BUT THEY DID NOT FEEL RESPONSIBLE FOR THE $1,500.00, WHICH THEY ARE BECAUSE THEY ARE THE ONES THAT PUT DEFECTIVE RADIATORS INTO THEIR PRODUCTS, BUT DID NOT SEND OUT ANY NOTIFICATIONS ABOUT THIS POTENTIAL PROBLEM THAT A OWNER COULD HAVE. MY FAMILY OR MYSELF COULD'VE EASILY BEEN HURT BECAUSE OF THEIR NEGLIGENCE IN NOT NOTIFYING CONSUMERS/OWNERS. DO THEY NOT CARE ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS, OR IS IT JUST ABOUT THE ALL MIGHTY DOLLAR!!

WHILE TURNING TO GO UP HILL TOWARD HOME VEHICLE SUDDENLY DIED. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME SO I PUT IT IN PARK AND AFTER HESITATION IT FINALLY RESTARTED. I TOOK TO DEALER,WALLACE NISSAN IN KINGSPORT, TENNESSEE AND THEY RAN CES CODE. THEY SUGGESTED HAVING RIGHT SIDE CAM SENSOR REPLACEMENT AND FLOAT IN GAS TANK WHERE IT HAS QUIT READING AT A COST OF APPROXIMATELY 700 TO 800 DOLLARS. CURRENTLY HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. PS : I PERFORMED THE BYPASS TO AVOID CROSS CONTAMINATION OF RADIATOR FLUID AND TRANSMISSION FLUID MYSELF AFTER READING OF ALL OF THE PROBLEMS THAT HAS CAUSED.THE TRANSMISSION HAS A SEPARATE COOLER; I DON'T KNOW WHY IT GOES THROUGH THE BOTTOM OF THE RADIATOR ANYWAY. CURRENT MILAGE IS 49,899 WHICH IS LOW MILES FOR A 2006 MODEL. A PERSON SHOULD NOT HAVE TO SURF THE WEB TO KNOW WHAT THEIR VEHICLE NEEDS WHEN NISSAN SHOULD BE NOTIFYING THEM. PEOPLE ARE PAYING FOR UNNECESSARY REPAIRS WHERE A SIMPLE RECALL COULD HAVE SAVED THEM THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS AND MORE IMPORTANTLY SOMEONE'S LIFE FROM AN ACCIDENT.

Mileage: 49,900

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE RPMS INCREASED TO 4,000. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PLACED INTO REVERSE, THE GEAR WENT INTO NEUTRAL. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS SHIFTED INTO DRIVE, IT WENT INTO LOW GEAR WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE RADIATOR FLUID LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION, AND THE RADIATOR AND THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 129,000.

Mileage: 129,000

VEHICLE WILL NOT CHANGE GEARS AND IS SLUGGISH. THE DISPLAY ON THE SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT SHOW THE POSITION OF THE TRANSMISSION. I HAVE SPENT OVER 600 DOLLARS TO FIND OUT THAT THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE IS BAD AND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL TO FIX COOLENT LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. MY VEHICLE IS STILL BROKEN BECAUSE OF THE PART COST 1100 USD AND THE REPAIR. TOTAL BILL IS 1600 USD. THIS WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE FIXED WITHOUT ME PAYING A DIME. MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. NOW IT WON'T EVEN GET UP TO SPEED THE TRANSMISSION SOUNDS AS IF IT IS STUCK IN A GEAR. VERY ERRATIC. MY CRUISE CONTROL ALSO JUST BLINKS AND WHEN THE MECHANIC TESTED THE CODES IT GAVE A NETWORK FAILURE CODE

Mileage: 110,000

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START, WHEN ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE. THERE WAS NO WARNING INDICATOR LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

THE 2 COMPLAINTS I HAVE REGARDING MY FRONTIER HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THE SAME YR THAT MY FRONTIER IS, BUT I DIDN'T RECEIVE A RECALL NOTICE FOR EITHER ONE. FIRST IS THE FUEL PUMP SENDING UNIT, WHICH SHOWS YOU HOW MUCH GAS YOU HAVE IN THE VEHICLE. MY FUEL GAUGE WILL SHOW THAT I HAVE NO GAS EVEN AFTER I FILL UP MY TANK, BUT THEN I CAN PARK FOR A FEW MINUTES & THEN THE GAUGE WILL SHOW THAT I HAVE A FULL TANK OF GAS. I RAN A DIAGNOSTIC TEST, & THE RESULTS DISPLAYED A CODE THAT MEANT IT NEEDED A NEW SENDING UNIT. HOWEVER, WITH THIS PARTICULAR MODEL, I CANNOT JUST GET THE SENDING UNIT, BECAUSE IT ONLY COMES IN ONE WHOLE PIECE, MEANING THAT THE MECHANICS WILL HAVE TO EMPTY THE GAS TANK & DROP THE TANK, WHICH IS MUCH MORE WORK. THEREFORE, THIS REPAIR WILL COST ME $900.00. THE SECOND COMPLAINT & THE MOST OUTRAGEOUS & DISAPPOINTING ONE IS REGARDING MY TRANSMISSION & RADIATOR. RECENTLY I TOOK MY FRONTIER INTO THE SHOP TO HABE THE TRANSMISSION FLUID CHECKED & CHANGED IF IT NEEDED TO BE. HOWEVER, THE MECHANIC CALLED & INFORMED THAT AFTER HOOKING MY TRUCK UP TO A TRANSMISSION TESTER, THE RESULTS INDICATED THAT I HAD PRESSURE PROBLEMS DUE TO THE RADIATOR COOLANT LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION FLUID, & CAUSING A CHEMICAL REACTION THAT WILL DESTROY THE CLUTCHES INSIDE THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. KEEP IN MIND THAT I ONLY HAVE 80,000 MILES ON MY 2006 FRONTIER, & NEEDING A NEW TRANSMISSION ALREADY WITH THIS LOW MILEAGE IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS & UNCALLED FOR. ESPECIALLY SINCE NISSAN HAS DONE A RECALL FOR THE SAME YR & MODEL OF MY TRUCK, & FOR THE EXACT THING THAT MY FAULTY RADIATOR WAS DOING. FOR SOME UNKNOWN REASON, MY RADIATOR MODEL WAS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST FOR EITHER ONE OF THE RECALLS & IT SHOULD'VE BEEN, BECAUSE THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF CONSUMERS THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM THAT I HAVE HAD, & THAT'S WITH BOTH OF MY COMPLAINTS. SO I JUST SPENT $4,000.00 FOR A REBUILT TRANSMISSION.

Mileage: 80,000

RADIATOR SYSTEM

ON 11/10/2018 WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WITH NO WARNING LIGHT MY 2006 NISSAN STARTS TO LOSE POWER!!! I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE FREEWAY AND PULL INTO A GAS STATION TO CALL AAA TO TOW IT TO A MECHANIC. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THE TRANSMISSION HAS COOLENT IN IT AND THE TRANSMISSION WILL NEED I BE REBUILT OR REPLACED WITH A REBUILT TRANSMISSION. HE SAID THERE WAS A CRACK IN THE COOLENT HOSE THAT WAS A MANUFACTURE DEFECT. I NEVER GOT ANY WARNING LIGHT UNTIL AFTER THE TRANSMISSION FAILED.

Mileage: 109

MY TRANSMISSION WENT OUT. THE MECHANIC SAID THE RADIATOR LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION. THIS REPAIR COSTED ME $4000, NEW TRANSMISSION AND NEW RADIATOR. WAS CONSIDERING BUYING ANOTHER NISSAN BUT WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER ONE. I WILL BE PROVIDING THE BILL AS SOON AS I CAN SCAN THEM.

DEAR NISSAN SERVICE: I AM THE OWNER OF A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER SE WITH APPROXIMATELY 124,000 MILES. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED USED FROM NALLEY NISSAN IN 2012 WITH APPROXIMATELY 89,000 MILES ON IT. THE HISTORY OF THE VEHICLE WAS METICULOUS, MINUS THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER HAD BEEN REPLACED BY NALLEY NISSAN. IN FEBRUARY 04, 2016 I HAD THE LEFT CATALYTIC CONVERTER REPLACED AT NALLEY NISSAN. THE RIGHT CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS REPLACED PRIOR TO PURCHASING THE VEHICLE. MY VEHICLE HAS ALREADY HAD BOTH CATALYTIC CONVERTERS REPLACED. ON MAY 11, 2018 I WAS ADVISED THAT I NEED BOTH OF MY CATALYTIC CONVERTERS REPLACED AGAIN AT STONE MOUNTAIN NISSAN. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAD CAME ON AGAIINHOWEVER, BOTH OF THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS HAVE BEEN PREVIOUSLY REPLACED. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THIS IN NOT AN INEXPENSIVE REPAIR. I ONLY USED PREMIUM GASOLINE IN MY VEHICLE TO ENSURE ITS PROPER PERFORMANCE AND GET MY VEHICLE REGULARLY MAINTAINED AN NISSAN DEALERSHIPS. IT IS RATHER OBVIOUS THAT THERE IS SOMETHING ELSE GOING ON WITH MY VEHICLE THAT IS DEFECTIVE IN NATURE. I HAD READ THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEMS WITH NISSAN FRONTIERS AND NISSAN ALTIMAS. I DO NOT WANT TO GET THE CATALYTIC CONVERTS REPLACED AT ESTIMATED $2200 AND HAVE THIS PROBLEM RESURFACE AGAIN. IN GEORGIA, WE HAVE ANNUAL EMISSIONS TESTS AND MY VEHICLE WILL NOT PASS AN EMISSIONS TEST. JUST RECENTLY, I HAD TAKEN MY VEHICLE ON A SHORT TRIP TO NORTH GEORGIA. THE ENGINE STALLED AND COMPLETELY LOST POWER. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE HOME HOWEVER, IT IS RATHER EVIDENT THAT SOMETHING IS MECHANICALLY WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE AND JUST SIMPLY REPLACING THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS WILL NOT ENSURE THAT THIS PROBLEM WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. IS THERE ANY GUIDANCE THAT YOU CAN OFFER? REGARDS [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

HIGHWAY DRIVING AT 55 MPH THE ENGINE STALLED AND STOPPED IN MID-TRAFFIC RESULTING MULTIPLE SYSTEM LOSS; INCLUDING POWER STEERING. WARNING LIGHTS THAT ILLUMINATED WERE SERVICE ENGINE SOON AND, SLIP. RESEARCHING THIS COMBINATION WITH THE ASSOCIATED ENGINE FAILURE SHOWS A MINIMUM FAILURE OF THE CAM SHAFT SENSOR AND POSSIBLE INTERFERENCE WITH ENGINE COOLING. ADDITIONAL RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THIS A RECALL ISSUE FOR FRONTIERS. BUT, WHEN I ENTERED MY VIN INTO YOUR SYSTEM TO CHECK RECALLS, THE REPONSE IS THAT THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR THIS VEHICLE. THAT SEEMS IN CONFLICT WITH WHAT IS BEING SAID ABOUT THERE BEING A RECALL AND THE OBVIOUS EXTREME DANGER OF ENGINE AND SYSTEM FAILURES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS

WHEN I DRIVE ON HIGHWAY, MY 2006 FRONTIER IS SHAKING OR VIBRATING EVEN IF I COMPLETELY STOP, I HAVE 118,000 MILEAGE. I WENT TO MY DEALER AND CHANGE THE SPARK PLUG, CHANGE THE VALVE GASKET COVER, AND DO OIL CHANGE BECAUSE THE SERVICE ENGINE WENT ON. I DID FINISHED THE SERVICE, MY SERVICE ADVISOR CALLED MY PHONE AND HE SAID THAT MY TRUCK IS READY FOR PICK UP. I ARRIVED, WENT TO THE CASHIER I PAID $748 FOR THE SERVICE, GOT MY TRUCK. THEN I DROVE AFTER A MUNITE THE SHAKING ISSUE IS STILL THIER SO I CALLED MY ADVISOR, HE ADVISED ME TO BRING BACK AND DO DIAGNOS TEST FOR $150. AFTER THE DIAGNOSE TEST THEY SAID THEY FOUND MISSING ACCELARATION AND NEED TO REPLACE 4 IGNITION COIL FOR $1114.00 PARTS/LABOR. UNFORTUNATELY I PAID $749 FOR THE RECENT REPAIR, SO, BECAUSE I SPENT A LOT OF MONEY FOR THE FIRST REPAIR, HE ONLY WANT ME DO 2 IGNITION COIL REPLACED FOR $775 PARTS/LABOR

IN FEBRUARY, 2017, THE RADIATOR ON MY NISSAN FRONTIER FAILED. DUE TO A DESIGN FLAW, COOLANT GOT INTO THE TRANSMISSION WHICH RUINED IT. THE RADIATOR HAD TO BE REPLACED AND THE TRANSMISSION REBUILT AT CONSIDERABLE EXPENSE (APPROXIMATELY $6K). THE RADIATOR FAILURE OCCURRED ON THE ROAD AND I WAS ABLE TO LIMP TO A SERVICE STATION. FORTUNATELY, THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE DID NOT OCCUR ON THE ROAD BUT COULD HAVE CAUSING A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER THE TRUCK WOULD NOT RESPOND TO THE ACCELERATOR BEING PRESSED AND THEN BEGAN JERKING. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND IT HAS BEEN DOING THIS FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND HE SAID IS WAS THE RADIATOR LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND DESTROYING THE TRANSMISSION WHICH NISSAN KNOWS ABOUT THE DEFCT BUT HAS CHOSEN NOT TO FIX. IF I WAS TRAVELING AT A HIGH SPEED ON THE INTERSTATE AND THE TRUCK DID NOT RESPOND TO THE ACCELERATOR AND STARTED TO JERK A COLLISION WOULD HAVE HAPPENED. THE FACT THAT NISSAN KNEW ABOUT THIS DEFECT AND CHOSE NOT TO INFORM ME OF THE PROBLEM CAUSES CONSIDERABLE ALARM.

TIMING CHAINS GUIDES AND TENSIONERS USED BY NISSAN WERE KNOWN BY NISSAN TO BE FAULTY RESULTING PREMATURE FAILURE AND EXTREMELY COSTLY ENGINE REPAIRS

Mileage: 100,000

ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC, THE TRANSMISSION COOLANT RESERVOIR (WHICH IS CONNECTED TO THE RADIATOR) COLLAPSED CAUSING WATER, ANTIFREEZE AND TRANSMISSION FLUID TO MIX. THESE FLUIDS THEN MADE THEIR WAY INTO THE RADIATOR, TRANSMISSION AND COOLANT RESERVOIR. THIS, IN TURN, CAUSED EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO MY TRANSMISSION. MY TRANSMISSION THEN REQUIRED REPLACEMENT/REBUILD. THE FIRST POSSIBLE SIGN OF THE PROBLEM WAS ROUGH AUTOMATIC SHIFTING OF THE VEHICLE. I THEN NOTICED A LEAK OF TRANSMISSION FLUID FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE (WHICH WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY). THIS WAS FOLLOWED BY A LOSS OF POWER/DRIVABILITY.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH, MY 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER SUDDENLY WAS RUNNING VERY ROUGH, IT DECELERATED AND I ONLY HAD LOW GEAR ENOUGH TO BARELY MAKE IT OFF THE HWY AND OUT OF THE WAY OF HIGH SPEED TRAFFIC. NO DASH/IDIOT LIGHTS CAME ON IDENTIFYING ANY PROBLEMS, THERE WAS NO WARNING AT ALL. TRUCK WAS TOWED TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHO SAID THE TRANSMISSION, AND RADIATOR, AND THERMOSTAT ALL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED!! THEY CHARGED US $5,500. THIS TRUCK ONLY HAD 135,000 MILES, AND WAS KEPT IN GREAT CONDITION, AT TIME OF IT'S FAILURE. NISSAN SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF MAKING THE CONSUMER BEAR THE COST OF NISSAN'S FAULTY PARTS!! THEY ARE FLAT OUT LUCKY IF NO ONE'S BEEN INJURED, OR KILLED DUE TO THIS FAILURE! HAD I BEEN ON THE INTERSTATE AS PLANNED THE VERY NEXT DAY, IN THIS TRUCK, I WONDER IF I'D BE HERE TODAY. THERE SHOULD BE NO QUESTION OR HESITATION THAT THIS "TRANSMISSION FAILURE" IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE A FULL FLEDGED RECALL. AND WE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO FOOT THE BILL FOR NISSAN'S SCREW-UPS WITH OUR HARD EARNED MONEY. IT IS SIMPLY WRONG.

THE TRANSMISSION ON MY TRUCK SUDDENLY WENT OUT WITH NO WARNING DURING MY MORNING COMMUTE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ON THE 202 LOOP IN PHOENIX. SHIFTING TO A DIFFERENT GEAR HAD THE SAME EFFECT AS STEPPING ON THE GAS, WHICH WAS THAT THE ENGINE REVVED WITH NO INCREASE OR DECREASE IN SPEED. I HAD TO COAST ACROSS 4 LANES OF FAST MOVING TRAFFIC. IT WAS AN INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I AM TOLD BY THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP THAT TRANSMISSION FLUID MIXED WITH COOLANT AND THAT IT WAS A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE. I HAVE RECEIVED NO NOTICES OF ANY KIND FROM NISSAN AND WAS SHOCKED TO LEARN THAT THIS IS A KNOWN, COMMONLY OCCURRING DEFECT AND THAT THE DEFECT MANIFESTS INSTANTANEOUSLY AND WITHOUT WARNING MOST OF THE TIME. NISSAN SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE DEFECTIVE SYSTEM AND FOR NOT NOTIFYING ME THAT I SHOULD HAVE THE DEALER FIX IT BEFORE THEY PUT MY LIFE AND PROPERTY AND THAT OF EVERY PERSON AROUND ME AT RISK.

WEATHER TURNED FROM RAIN TO ICY. SOUTH BOUND ON STREET THAT OVERPASS INTERSTATE. TRUCK SPUN AROUND SEVERAL TIMES FIRST IN SOUTH BOUND LANE HITTING GUARD RAIL ON WEST SIDE, WENT OVER THE CURB AND MEDIAN INTO NORTH BOUND LANE SPIN AGAIN BEFORE COMING TO REST AGAINST 4FT HIGH CONCRETE DIVIDER ON BRIDGE. THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG IS THE ONLY ONE THAT DEPLOYED. MY WIFE WAS IN PASSENGER SEAT. NO OTHER AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THIS TRUCK HAD DUAL STAGE SUPPLEMENTAL FRONT AIR BAGS AND NISSAN AABS.. THANKFULLY OUR SEAT BELTS WERE PROBABLY WHAT PROTECTED US FROM BEING THROWN FROM THE TRUCK. AS I STATED ONLY THE AIR BAG IN STEERING WHEEL DEPLOYED. THIS SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO WITH ALL THE RECALLS GOING ON. I HAD NOT RECEIVED ANY NOTICE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. I WENT TO EMERGENCY ROOM THE FOLLOWING TUESDAY TO GET XRAY OF CHEST BECAUSE OF PAIN. MY WIFE WENT TO HER DR ALSO. *TR

IN EIGHT YEARS I HAVE CHANGED TWO ZD30 ENGINES IN MY FRONTIER,BECAUSE OF BURNED OUT PISTONS AND BAD CYLINDER HEADS,EIGHT BURNED OUT PISTONS IN TOTAL,AND AS OF TODAY DECEMBER 3/2014 MY FRONTIER LOST POWER SENDING BLUE SMOKE FROM THE EXHAUST AND OIL,MY MECHANIC SAYS THE ENGINE HAS TO BE OPENED AGAIN. MY FUEL PUMP WENT BAD SOON AFTER THE WARRANTY WAS UP.SENT IT OVER SEAS TO BE REPAIRED ,AT A COST OF $1500.00 THE DANGEROUS PART IS THE STEERING GOING LOOSE,LUCKY FOR MY WIFE AND SELF I WAS IN TRAFFIC DRIVING AT 10 MPH. THE LOCAL DEALER DISCLAIMED EVERYTHING. I AM ABOUT TO LODGE A COMPLAINT TO OUR LOCAL BUREAU OF STANDARDS. *JS

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

FOLLOW UP TO COMPLAINT 10584635 -- TIMING CHAIN FAILURE RESULTING IN CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE. KNOWN ISSUE BY NISSAN, BUT HIDDEN FROM CONSUMER. NISSAN HAS ISSUED SEVERAL SERVICE BULLETINS RELATED TO DEFECTIVE TIMING CHAINS, AND NOTED THAT THESE CAN RESULT IN CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURES, EXACTLY AS OCCURRED. DANGEROUS. NO WARNING AND COMPLETE FAILURE ON A BUSY ROADWAY, WITH LOSS OF THE ABILITY TO MANEUVER AND EXTREMELY HINDERED ABILITY TO GET TO SAFETY IN TIME. HAD I BEEN GOING FASTER THAN 35MPH, OR HAD I BEEN ON A FREEWAY, THIS COULD HAVE BEEN DEADLY. I DISCOVERED A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT REGARDING THIS ISSUE, AND IT APPEARS THIS IS AFFECTING THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE. NISSAN SOLD VEHICLES AFTER IT KNEW ABOUT THE TIMING CHAIN DEFECTS (THE BULLETINS WENT OUT IN 2005, AND THIS VEHICLE WAS A 2006). NISSAN DECEPTIVELY KEPT THIS FROM CONSUMERS. TIMING CHAIN DEFECTS OCCUR TYPICALLY AFTER WARRANTY EXPIRATION, AND THEY DO NOT MAKE YOU AWARE OF THE POTENTIAL PRIOR. CONSUMER UNFAIRLY BURDENED WITH FULL LOSS OF ENGINE AND NEARLY THE ENTIRE VALUE OF THEIR VEHICLE. *TR

WHILE RETURNING HOME, THE VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER AND POWER STEERING. DIFFICULTY NAVIGATING TO SAFETY ON THE SIDE OF A BUSY ROADWAY. THE ENGINE IN THE VEHICLE HAD COMPLETELY SEIZED. COMPLAINTS TO NISSAN THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THIS VEHICLE HAD BEEN ONGOING. THE ENTIRE FUEL SYSTEM HAD FAILED AT 40K MILES. BOTH CATALYTIC CONVERTERS FAILED AT 55K MILES (THOUGHT TO BE RELATED TO AN ENGINE PROBLEM, BUT THEY WOULD NOT FIX IT EVEN UNDER WARRANTY). AT 63K MILES, THE ENGINE STARTED TO SHOW SIGNS OF PROBLEMS. REPEATED ANALYSIS, FOR WHICH I PAID, RESULTED IN NO CONCLUSION. ONLY THAT "SOMETHING WAS WRONG". TRIED TO ENGAGE NISSAN MULTIPLE TIMES TO FIX THIS. THEY REFUSED. NOW, THE ENGINE HAS FAILED ENTIRELY. NISSAN WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE DEFECTIVE MANUFACTURING. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW AND HAS BEEN METICULOUSLY MAINTAINED. THE ENGINE FAILURE AND THE RESULTING LOSS OF THE ABILITY TO MANEUVER OR OPERATE THE VEHICLE WAS, THANKFULLY, ON A ROAD THAT HAD A LOW SPEED LIMIT. SUBSEQUENT RESEARCH RELATED TO THIS ISSUE SHOWS THAT THERE IS A CLASS ACTION AGAINST NISSAN FOR PREMATURE ENGINE FAILURES IN THESE VEHICLES, AND THAT THEY ALLEGEDLY HID KNOWN ISSUES AND WERE DECEPTIVE TO CONSUMERS. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER AND FOR THE LAST 9 OR 10 MONTHS IT BECOMES "HERKY-JERKY" AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. I ONLY DRIVE THIS VEHICLE IN THE WINTER SO YESTERDAY I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND TODAY THEY INFORMED ME THE COOLANT HAD LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THE COST FOR THE REPAIR IS $6500. I ASKED THEM IF THIS WAS SOMETHING NORMAL AND THEY SAID IT WAS UNUSUAL. I DID SOME CHECKING ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND OUT THERE WAS A SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT REGARDING THIS DEFECT. OTHER SITES DIRECTED ME TO MAKE A COMPLAINT WITH YOU BECAUSE THIS APPEARS TO BE A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM AND DUE TO THE FACT THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT WAS ESSENTIALLY WORTHLESS. GIVEN THIS I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT WITH YOU IN HOPES THIS WILL TURN INTO A RECALL. ALSO, MADE A CLAIM TODAY WITH NISSAN AND EXPECTING A CASE WORKER TO CALL BACK TOMORROW. IF THEY DO NOT AGREE TO PAY FOR THE COST OF THE DAMAGE I WILL TAKE THEM TO SMALL CLAIMS. OF NOTE, I HAVE ONLY SUED ONE ENTITY BEFORE IN MY LIFE (49YO) AND IT WAS NISSAN BACK IN 1997 AND I WON. IT WAS A DEFECT IN THE WIRING OF MY PREVIOUS FRONTIER. I CAN SAY NISSAN LIKES TO PLAY HARD BALL AND NOT SETTLE OR ADMIT TO ANY OF THEIR FAULTS. I GAVE THEM MORE THAN SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE AND WAS VERY PATIENT IN THIS PRIOR CLAIM, BUT THEY KEPT DENYING. I LEARNED MY LESSON THAT TIME AND THIS TIME I WILL NOT BE SO PATIENT AND WILL INFORM THEM I WILL TAKEN MORE EXPEDITIOUSLY THIS TIME. *JS

I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER SE 4X4 CREW CAB WITH 143396 MILES AND GOING ABOUT 40-45 MILES PER HRS I HEAR A CHATTER IN THE REAR OF THE TRUCK. MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH A NISSAN DEALER IN MY AREA AND THE OUT COME WAS .. THE TRUCK NEEDS A TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR REPLACEMENT AND IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY THE REPLACEMENT AT THE DEALER WOULD BE A COST TO ME OF 5132.13 . NISSAN HAD A CLASS ACTION SUITE IN NEW YORK AND THE ONLY WIN FOR US CONSUMERS WAS THAT THEY EXTENDED THE MILEAGE TO 100,000 . I CALLED NISSAN AND WAS INFORMED THAT IF I HAD 120,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK THAT THERE WOULD BE A COVER UNDER THE WARRANTY. NISSAN KNOWS THAT THERE IS A ISSUE WITH TRANNY AND RADIATOR BUT THEY DID NO RECALLS SO NOW WE ARE STUCK. IF YOU ARE ON A FIXED INCOME WHO HAS OVER 5000.00 DOLLARS LAYING A ROUND FOR THIS KIND OF REPAIR . I CAN STILL DRIVE THE TRUCK BUT ITS NOT SAFE IF THE TRANNY SHUTS DOWN ON THE HWY THEN WHAT ? LOOKS LIKE A ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. CANT HAVE THAT . SO THE TRUCK WILL SIT IN MY YARD TILL I GET SOME ANSWERS THAT WILL HELP ME GET THIS ISSUE SOLVED. *TR

AS I BEGAN TO ENTER THE HIGHWAY AND INCREASE SPEED TO ABOUT 65 MPH, I NOTICED WHAT FELT TO BE A SLIP IN GEARS. EACH TIME I DECREASED BY SPEED AND INCREASED OVER 50 MPH, I COULD FEEL THE SAME TYPE OF SLIP. ALTHOUGH I DRIVE MY VEHICLE DAILY, IT IS USUALLY FOR VERY SHORT DISTANCES, AS I AM IN TOWN DRIVING. I HAVE ONLY NOTICED THIS SLIP OF GEARS WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE. TODAY I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSIS. I WAS INFORMED THAT I WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND WOULD HAVE A $2500 DEDUCTIBLE FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE RADIATOR & TRANSMISSION. MY VEHICLE IS PROPERLY MAINTAINED AT RECOMMENDED INTERVALS, WITH LOW MILEAGE. I CAME HOME TO DO SOME RESEARCH AND LEARNED ABOUT THE REPORTED RADIATOR/TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS FOR SOME 2005-2010 NISSAN TRUCK AND SUV MODELS. I DO NOT REMEMBER EVER RECEIVING ANY INFORMATION FROM NISSAN REGARDING THE POTENTIAL TRANSMISSION FAILURE FOR MY MAKE AND MODEL AND I AM DISAPPOINTED TO KNOW THAT A RECALL WAS NOT ISSUED, AS THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. THE SERVICE MANAGER ALSO DID NOT MENTION ANY OF THIS TO ME. THE ONLY THING THAT CLUED ME IN TO AN ISSUE WAS THAT HE MENTIONED "DEDUCTIBLE" AND THAT I WAS JUST ABOUT 3,000 MILES OVER THE WARRANTY. KNOWING THAT A POWER-TRAIN WARRANTY IS USUALLY 36/36000, I STARTED THINKING, HOW COULD I ONLY BE 3,000 MILES OUTSIDE OF THE WARRANTY? NISSAN SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE AS NUMEROUS REPORTS HAVE BEEN MADE. EXTENDING A WARRANTY TO 8/80,000 IS ALSO A JOKE, SINCE MOST OF THE REPORTED ISSUES, HAVE NOT OCCURRED UNTIL AFTER 80,000, AS IN MY CASE. I SHOULD NOT BE STUCK WITH THIS MAINTENANCE BILL; THIS IS NISSAN'S RESPONSIBILITY. SOMETIMES DOING THE RIGHT THING AS OPPOSED TO DOING THE MOST PROFITABLE IS IN ORDER. TOO BAD NISSAN DOES NOT CARE ENOUGH TO KEEP THEIR CUSTOMERS SATISFIED, BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, SAFE! *TR

I HAD DRIVEN APROX 20 MILES ON INTERSTATE WHEN I NOTICED WHEN TRUCK SHIFTED BETWEEN 4TH AND OVERDRIVE THE MOTOR WAS RACING. I TURNED OFF CRUISE CONTROL AND TURNED OF THE OVERDRIVE WITH THE TRAILER SWITCH. I STOPPED AT STATION CHECKED FLUIDS BUT EVERYTHING SEEMED OK. WHEN LEAVING STATION THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING WHEN SHIFTING. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT HOME. NEXT DAY TRANSMISSION SHOP TOLD ME TRANSMISSION WOULD NEED TO BE REBUILT. AFTER GOOGLE INFO I TOLD SHOP TO ALSO REPLACE RADIATOR ALSO. I GOT THE TRUCK BACK 2 WEEKS LATER. AFTER 5 DAYS OF DRIVING WHILE TRAVELING HOME FROM JOB. TRANSMISSION LOCKED UP AND TRUCK CAME TO STOP IN MIDDLE OF ROAD. I LOOKED UNDER HOOD AND FOUND OIL IN RADIATOR. THE TRUCK WAS TOWED BACK TO SHOP. COME TO FIND OUT THE SHOP HAD REPLACED WITH USED RADIATOR. THE SAME THING HAD HAPPENED AGAIN WHERE ANTIFREEZE MIXED WITH TRANSMISSION OIL CAUSING EXTENSIVE DAMAGE, STILL IN SHOP AND WAITING ON ITS RETURN.

WHEN DRIVING, A "RUMBLING" NOISE WOULD COME AND GO AND A "WHINING" NOISE WHILE ACCELERATING. THE RUMBLING NOISE WAS NOT CONSISTENT BUT WOULD SOUND LIKE A WAS DRIVING ON THE SIDE OF THE ROUND. IT WOULD USUALLY APPEAR AROUND 40-60 MPH WHEN I WOULD LET OFF THE GAS AND "COAST" AND TRY TO PRESS THE GAS AGAIN. I DID NOT KNOW THERE WAS A "WARRANTY EXTENSION". I WAS NOT NOTIFIED. TOOK THE TRUCK INTO THE SHOP ONLY TO FIND OUT MY TRANSMISSION WAS GOING OUT DUE TO THE FACT I HAVE RADIATOR COOLANT (ANTIFREEZE) IN MY TRANSMISSION FLUID; (OVER A GALLON) CAUSE BY A FACTORY DEFECT.

AFTER INVESTIGATING THIS ISSUE ON THE INTERNET IT IS OBVIOUS THAT NISSAN HAS BEEN AWARE OF THE ISSUE WITH FAULTY RADIATORS FOR A LONG TIME. (WHEN I WAS STILL UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY.) HAD NISSAN INFORMED OWNERS THIS COULD HAVE RESOLVED WITH A RADIATOR CHANGE THAT I WOULD HAVE GLADLY DONE AT MY EXPENSE. NOW I'M LOOKING AT OVER $4000.00 IN REPAIR COSTS. SHAME ON NISSAN! *TR
