2007 NISSAN Frontier

The engine control module (ECM) failed abruptly September 1, 2017. A replacement ECM is not available from the manufacturer or in the \"after\" market. The ECM could not be rebulit. But for the ECM, the vehicle is in excellent condition, and low mileage. Now it is junk.
I find it appalling that Nissan does not support its products beyond some initial warranty period. The public needs to know that Nissan does not stand behind its products.

Radiator cracked and corrupted the transmission allowing fluid to mix and damage components. Only remedy was to replace the radiator and the transmission. Vehicle was overheating and having difficulty shifting between 3 and 4 gears.

known leak in radiator, which drains into transmission corroding whole system
warranty bulletin, was not shared with owners of vehicles as not deemed a significant safety risk
Nissan Canada and Nissan North America both refuse to take responsibility for truck that was made for American market, but has been registered in Canada for the last 10years

The radiator cracked allowing coolant to enter the transmission damaging the transmission. I am shocked to find that this problem encompasses 3 vehicles over 6 years and generally hits when any warranty is expired. The fix is costing between $4000 and $6000, depending on who and where the repair is done. I am retired, 67 years old with cars and house paid for, with the government leech keeping me down. I will have to start selling stuff and get a loan to pay this unnecessary bill. Shame on Nissan for being too cheap to use a proper radiator.

Cross contamination of radiator and tranny fluids

may 2016 on trip to coast . 2007 Nissan frontier nismo. from secondary road entering onto hwy 17 (70 miles per hour traffic) I pressed down on gas pedal and into passing gear to enter high speed flow of traffic. truck stalled and I had to pull over to side of highway 17 onto emergency lane to prevent having accident (getting run over) . when returning home I had truck serviced at ben mynatt Nissan in Salisbury and asked that the transmission fluid be checked. I had a problem with transmission slipping when entering traffic. was told radiator and transmission would have to be replaced at a cost of $2500.00 . this is when I done my homework and found out about the faulty cracks that caused my problem . this should have been recalled by factory. this could have caused a accident and possibly a death.

RADIATOR FLUID LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION. COULD NOT ACCELERATE TO FREEWAY SPEED, MAX SPEED 25 MPH.

I entered an incorrect vin on my previous entry concerning faulty radiator on 2007 Nissan Frontier

The transmission fluid cooler located in the radiator busted and got coolant inside the transmission. This has caused a complete transmission failure.

Coolant leaked into transmission, and damaged transmission control unit. Seems to be a common flaw for my year, make, and model of vehicle.

Cross contamination between radiator and transmission.

Our 2007 Nissan Frontiers Transmission and coolant has mixed . Nissan is award there trucks have this problem, they should be forced to have a recall for this issue. This truck cost me a lot of money and it has low milage, they should stand behind their product, or I will not own another and will tell everyone to not buy Nissan products.

The radiator cracked and leaked coolant into the transmission, causing catastrophic damage to both. My first auto repair shop doesn\'t repair transmissions. The second shop repairs transmissions but NOT Nissans (because of this very problems with Nissans). So after 3 shops, 2 tows, 10 days and $4500 out my pocket I finally have my vehicle drivable again.

Drove a very short distance near my work and heard a bubbling sound in the engine compartment, knew immediately something was wrong with the radiator. A few seconds later it was like a small explosion and I was able to park. The goo coming from underneath was unlike anything I had seen before. I had USAA tow it off, dealership said crack in the radiator caused fluids to mix and corrupt the transmission and found out 15 days later that nothing would be covered. Didn\'t know about the massive, wide-spread problems with this exact scenario. Dealer didn\'t know, insurance and adjuster never said anything. Wasn\'t until a small town mechanic told my mother-in-law, that we heard about these issues from other Nissan owners. I am hesitant to have factor parts put back in it if, according to others, the same problem could re-occur.

Radiator leaked fluid and transmission failed at 66,000 miles. Was never informed from Nissan regarding that this would happen!

The transmission was destroyed after the radiator cracked and leaked into it. Costing me nearly $7000 to fix. Applying for loans to try to pay for it. Will never buy a Nissan ever again and will recommend against to all family and friends.

timing chain and tensioners are bad and Nissan will do nothing to fix this extremely common issue

Engine is making a whining noise due to the timing chain and the tensioner… I took it to the dealer they coated me $2100… they said it was a common problem on these… from wat I read online I understand that nissan was aware of the failure would occur but they didn’t do the recall

My Frontier died on 12/6 / 12/7/2015. I had it towed to the Boardwalk Nissan and paid $100 to have the problem diagnosed. I was told the repairs would cost $10,500. The radiator caused the transmission to go out in turn causing the computer panel to burn out. I asked the service adviser was there something I could’ve done to prevent the problem. He said no, the problem happens. I then had the truck towed home.
Now, I find out there was a problem that Nissan should’ve known about, had they made the repairs to the radiator, my truck would be working today. This makes me angry. 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.

timing chain guides, tensioners, guides, shoes,and seals

2 days before Christmas at a routine maintenance check the dealer told me my truck needed a timing chain, guide and tensioner replacement asap. I am researching and getting second opinion. I didn’t know this was an issue when I bought used 5 years ago otherwise I would have spent the extra money to buy the Toyota Tacoma and wouldn’t have this headache during the holidays!

When I bought the truck in June, I complained about how I thought the transmission was slipping, the dealership service dept kept the truck a a week. They told me there was nothing wrong with the truck, so i said well ok then ,now 6 months later after warranty expired ..I find out I need a new transmission and fuel pump…it was a recall. I didn’t get notice…I think they New about transmission a took advantage of a single older lady .who cannot pay for this..now 5000 to fix? Its case that these places treat customers this way ….I desperately need help ……….margie

radiator leaked into transmission and ruins both the radiator and transmission

1/13 problem described to nissan no heat at idle.
2/14 thermostat assembly, water pump and gasket was replaced
Had to replace 3 valve stems in tires at $100+ a piece

engine coolant leaked into transmission causing transmission to fail

TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKED INTO RADIATOR,FOUND OUT SOMEWHAT COMMON PROBLEM…. MISSED CLASS ACTION SUIT. DO NOT RECALL BEING NOTIFIED ABOUT IT

This vehicle has a recall on failed transmissions after a defect in the radiator causes water to go into transmissiona and ruin it. Transmission, radiator and wires as it causes a short have to be replaced!

The radiator has a crack in it. It leaked and damaged the computer system and transmission of our 2007 Nissan Frontier. I do not know the exact amount to fix the problems. So far, We have fixed the computer system that cost us $1633.59 to repair, this balance includes the taxes. The vehicle started running hot and would shut off. The body of the truck looks good, we still are saving to repair the radiator and transmission. We are paying a car note for a vehicle that does not work.

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.

The radiator core rotted, causing a mix of coolant and transmission fluid resulting in the transmission having to be replaced.

Radiator fluid and Transmission Fluid mixed through the engine, had to replace Radiator and Transmission.

Nov 2014 my radiator coolant was mixing with my transmission fluids. It destroyed my transmission. I did have a letter from Nissan dating back to Nov 2010 that Nissan was extending their New Vehicle Limited Warranty on the radiator assembly as vehicles equipped with automatic transmissions a crack in the radiator assembly might occur at higher mileages leading to internal leakage of engine coolants. This new warranty would apply to the radiator assembly and its component parts and include damage, repairs, replacement, and related towing resulting from this issue. In Nov 2014 I co-payed for a new transmission, and at that time Nissan said they had “repaired” my radiator. One year later, a mixing of the radiator and transmission fluids happened again. This time, Nissan is informing me that I need to replace the radiator at my cost, because they “repaired” it. They so clearly did not replace my defective radiator when the same issue has once again happened.

Nissan now has an extended warranty for this vehicle because the antifreeze leaks into the transmission due to a faulty pipe of some sort. No recalls apparently. They cover 100% if the vehicle is taken into the dealer prior to 8 years/80,000 miles (whichever happens first). Unfortunately for us the car had problems at 79,000 but 900+ miles away from home when my son took it to Florida on Spring Break. So we will have to pay half $2500 and the dealer will pay half ($2500) because we cannot prove when the problems started. I paid $19K for this truck in July. Boy, am I feeling ripped off. No more Nissans for this family.

My 2007 Nissan Frontier heater would not warm up when idling. I took it to the dealership in December 2014 and they flushed the lines. Six months later the transmission began to slip. I took it back to the dealer and they informed me that due to a manufacturer’s defect engine coolant leaked into the transmission and destroyed it! I would need a new transmission and radiator. Because the vehicle was now 8 years old, the warranty will only cover part of the cost and I am responsible for $2,500. After researching this problem, I found that one of the warning signs was a heater that would not warm up while idling. The vehicle could have been fixed in December of 2014 and covered fully by warranty, however, the dealer did not warn me! Now, Nissan says there is nothing they can do! I’m frustrated to say the least and have purchased my last Nissan!

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!!!

Coolant leak into transmission

Like many other Nissan Frontier owners, the transmission got damaged because the coolant got mixed with the transmission fluid, a defect recognized and admitted by Nissan of America and the transmission got damaged. The Court proposed resolution for the class action is not adequate since we have no control of when this situation will occur (mileage). Called Nissan a few times and they don’t want to assume any responsibility beyond of what is expressed on the class action final resolution. Had to fix the problem with out of pocket money since I cannot afford to get another vehicle. It makes no sense that still the industry think that for the effect of warranties you only drive 12k miles a year. We have the option to open another class action under the fact that NISSAN failed to provide a responsible advice on having the radiator replaced (which will prevent the transmission damage) or a recall to have the radiators replaced.

radiator failed putting anti-freeze in trany

Passenger side power window not working, Coolant leaked into transmission due to known defect, CD Player does not work, bed light out, overheats at stop lights in summer

Bought a Warranty from Master Tech, Transmissions are covered under This warranty, but since there was liquid in the trans they DON’T cover it , First it was radiator trouble ,Then came transmission trouble…Not one thing was paid by warranty. We called warranty company said there was nothing they could do,After talking with them for the third time,Fred at master tech told us they go through a 8 day training on how NOT to pay. $2,600.00 for this warranty,,DO NOT BUY EXTENDED WARRANTIES!!!!

In August my truck begin vibrating and losing power. Took it in for a check up and they said all was well. September my heat was not working and my coolant was empty. Added coolant and heater worked. February the vibration was worse, took it in and Nissan said the radiator hose inside broke causing coolant to mix with my transmission fluid and I will need new transmission and radiator. Have not repaired because I do not have the money. Am in process of getting a loan.

Been having recurring transmission issues with my 2007 Nissan Frontier. Researched internet and and became suspicious my vehicle was experiencing the same ailment hundreds of others had experienced…coolant in transmission. Next step was having local Nissan Dealer confirm my suspicion, when they called and said my co-pay would be $3000. Vehicle remains with Dealer awaiting it’s replacement transmission.

Given Nissan’s awareness of their blatant design error, I can’t understand how this issue hasn’t been categorized a strict liability on Nissan’s behalf, with full recall protection provided to us unknowing owners. Like many others, I’m disgusted with Nissan’s disregard for doing what’s right!

Radiator assembly failed and sent coolant into transmission

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!

TRANSMISSION COOLER LEAKED INTO ENGINE COOLANT AND ENGINE COOLANT LEAKED INTO TRANSMISSION. ENGINE OVERHEATED…TRANSMISSION FAILED. VEHICLE STALLED ON MAJOR ROADWAY AND ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT.

The transmission started shimmying and around 45 mph and then I noticed it was shifting hard. I researched the vehicle online and saw complaints about the radiator/transmission. When I opened the radiator I noticed the anti-freeze being a milky color. As I found out on-line, this was a known design flaw from Nissan, but nothing was done to fix it. In reading through blogs, it seems like a majority of the time the problem occurred after 100000 miles. Nissan’s solution was to cover the fix for low mileage occurrences. The average driver, drives around 15000 miles a year.

Transmission fluid mixed with coolant and mixed fluid got into radiator and transmission.

Was making a three point turn in a service station when I lost reverse in my transmission. I feel this is a direct result to the very well known transmission issue in Nissan Frontiers that Nissan knows about. A little less than a year ago and about 120,000 miles, I was driving my truck on the highway when I noticed the temperature gauge rising to a dangerous level. I took it the my local Nissan service dept and was told the radiator had a crack in it and was causing transmission fluid and coolant to mix. I was told it needed to be repaired as soon as possible by replacing the radiator and flushing the transmission fluid thoroughly so that I didn’t damage my transmission. At no time did they tell me this was a common problem with these vehicles nor did they offer any additional help with the situation. They simply wanted to put a band aid on it and collect my money. I had the work done and thought I had escaped the problem, but I was wrong. Now my truck is useless to me until I pay thousands of dollars to replace the transmission for a problem Nissan is well aware of but not willing to help with. I don’t feel I should be responsible for the entire bill to repair or replace my transmission. This vehicle issue is creating great strain on my family as this is a vehicle we need to use daily. I felt by buying a Nissan, I was going to have a truck that I can drive relatively maintenance free and depend on. I was dead wrong. I promise I will never buy another Nissan and will tell everybody I know to not buy them as well.

Tranny failure; truck is in repair shop at this time

This vehicle has cause me a lot of trouble and now its dead before I can finish paying for it. Transmission failure due to leaking radiator coolant. There should be laws that protect the American consumers from shoddy business practices like this.

I was driving on interstate 80 when my engine begin to make a loud noise that did not sound right. I pulled off the freeway and it stalled. There are no indications of mechanical failure like smoke or leakage when I look under the hood. I have it towed to a nissan dealer and they tell me a piston is dented and oil is all over the engine and that it needs to be replaced.

Engine coolant leaked into the transmission and ruined it. This is a very common issue with this transmission and radiator.

Coolant from radiator mixed with transmission fluid & transmission failed.

As I am driving, the transmission will not shift at 40 mph. I pull over and find out that it will not go into reverse, either. I drive over to the Nissan dealership and find out that the part of the radiator that connects to the tranny has cracked and dumped all of the radiator fluid into the tranny, killing it. I need a new radiator and transmission. Nissan is covering the costs (for repairs but not alternate transportation for the week that it is taking to fix this) but upon returning home and looking online, I found out that Nissan has known about this problem for about 5 years and instead of doing a recall (costing lots of money), they extended the warranty on the radiator assembly from 3 years/36,000 miles to 8 years/96,000 miles hoping that problems will occur after that time and then they are off the hook for repairs. How dangerous could this have been under different circumstances. I am angry and disgusted with the way Nissan has handled a problem they know could have caused a serious safety risk.

Purchased new-18K F&R brake failures-followed by drive shaft failure-followed by shudder/judder problems w/trans.-2nd dealership replaced transmission w/new one @58K miles flushed, but did not replace defective radiator. Both oxygen sensors failure followed-currently driving w/68K miles-still stinks of burned anti-freeze inside & outside of vehicle-Nissan extended letter of intent to fix issues up to 80K-after then owner is responsible for repairs. Nissan is avoiding a total recall of Frontier, Xterras, Pathfinders. This is a engineering defect known from back in 2004 Nissan Titan which they initially had brake and cross-contamination with the radiators which are made from plastic instead of metal. The coefficient of expansion in plastic under certain heat conditions causes a minute crack in the cooling tubes of within the ATF cooling structure causing cross-contamination of anti-freeze & ATF fluid being drawn back into the transmission torque convertor causing a cavitation and juddering & shuddering/shifting-some people have reported complete transmission loss and crashes have occurred! Nissan should be held accountable and replace these vehicles as they are only trying to Band-Aid the problem with a temp. fix with the 80K extension.

Radiator/transmission assembly. A known (by Nissan) issue–see NissanAssist.com. Husband was travelling on Northwest Expressway in Oklahoma City, OK. He stopped at the left turn lane light and the vehicle quit running. He tried to restart it. He could not safely get out of the vehicle in the middle of 6 lanes of 5 o’clock traffic, so he called the Farmers’ HelpPoint towing service. We had it towed home thinking it was the battery. After replacing the battery and trying to jump it with new cables we purchased at the same time, it still would not start. We had it towed to a neighborhood mechanic and he told us it was the radiator assembly and that we would have to take it to a transmission shop. He gave us a fuse so that the vehicle would start and we could drive it to Aamco Transmissions. I had already called the Nissan dealer where we bought the vehicle after seeing that this is a known issue to Nissan. The dealer refused to fix the issue under warranty because our vehicle was over the 100k mileage limit. The dealer told me to call Nissan Consumer Service and gave us the number. I called them and they could not help–even when I talked to the supervisor. I quoted Nissan’s words, asking if Nissan did not stand behind the commitment on their site: Nissan is committed to providing an outstanding vehicle ownership experience for all our customers.” She told me she is a contractor working for a company hired by Nissan and did not know. Of course, we did not take the vehicle back to Nissan to be repaired, but took it to Aamco Transmissions, who charged us $5,700.00 for the repairs and warranty on the work. With the battery, jumper cables, towing charges and the first mechanic’s bill–we paid $6,340.00–having to borrow $6k to resolve this issue. By the time we are finished paying off this loan, the cost will be closer to $10,000.00. If anyone can do anything about this–please do so for all of us who have suffered this injustice. This known issue by Nissan, cost us close to a quarter of our yearly income.

I bought this vehicle from an Authorized Nissan Dealer (Henderson Nissan) in April, 2011 with 47,000 Miles with a 100,000 Mile
warranty. No one advised me of this Radiator/Transmission problem. It now has 65,000 and appears to be in excellent condition.
I’m now advised of the new warranty for this problem- 0 repair costs to 80,000, $2,500 co pay 80-90,000 and $3,000 co-pay
90- to 100, 000, which in my opinion makes it worthless thereafter. I believe a recall is in order and the radiator replaced before
failure at 75 MPH? — I’m scared to drive it on any trip of any consequence (I’m 83 and have a severe service connected hearing loss).
Nissan must be held liable at this point rather than upon a catastrophic failure.

transmission leaks, check engine light won’t go off, airbag light won’t go off, repairs failed to do anything problems kept coming back, airbag lights and check engine light still on, transmission leaks started in November still leaking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Radiator leaking into transmission

I have the radiator/transmission issue that causes the radiator and transmission fluids to mix causing the transmission to fail, my truck is currently at the dealership waiting for a decision from Nissan USA whether they will fix it.. I have a 2007 Frontier, CC LE 4×4 with 90k miles and many more to go if they fix this issue..

Defective fluid cooler ruptured allowing engine coolant to mix with transmission fluid- causing transmission to fail while driving on busy highway. Nissan North America unwilling to acknowledge the defect or assist in any way.

2007 nissan frontier crew cab: entering the 100,000 mile marker the truck started to feel like it was skipping. then the truck stalled while at the grocery store. i tried to get it started and after 15 minutes it did start. aaa tested battery, starter and alternators. they were all fine. later drove truck to continue grocery shopping and it stalled in the main traffic lane. pushed truck to safer place. then it started again. autozone computer test revealed sensor p)335 and a recommendation to replace flywheel. internet search revealed issues with power train and anti freeze entering the transmission due to faulty parts. nearly 3000. reports of same issue. disappointed that nissan did not take responsibility for their use of compromised materials in building their cars and trucks. if nissan is using faulty or weak materials, then might as well buy american.

I have a 2007 nissan frontier with 68,000 miles. no major issues until now. started having a transmission noise during acceleration. 10/2016, took my truck to my local auto mechanic and found transmission fluid low. no signs of leaks. also check coolent and no problems seen. 11/5/16 i head a pop and saw fluid running out of coolent overflow. transmission stated slipping. 11/9/16 took truck to my local auto repair shop and they see the coolent is mixed with oil. on 11/15/16 per my local nissan dealer i have a crack in my trans coolent system which is mixing transmission and coolent fluid. in result damaged my transmission and requires replacement. he had ask me to call nissan for addition assistance. i was also told by my local nissan dealer that this problem could have been resolved by a radiator replacement. on 11/9/2016 i contacted nissanusa and i was hung up on twice. i finally got in touch with a decent person the set me up with a case. i asked for a description of the details of the warranty and they said it would be emailed. 11/15/2016, i'm still waiting for that email. i called again after getting one rude person and was put on hold then disconnected. i called back asking for financial assistance. i should be getting a call tomorrow. also, i was told about the issue a year or two ago by another nissan owner. when i contacted my local dealer to acquire about the problem and aware to they knew nothing about it. also, they did not have info of any preventive measures the could prevent this problem. if this was a know issue the we should have been notified by nissan.

The transmission fluid cooler in the radiator has busted causing radiator coolant to get inside the transmission. when the coolant mixed with the transmission fluid it has caused catastrophic damage to the inside of the transmission (gears, etc.) a couple of weeks ago i noticed the transmission starting to shift more and more abruptly. i drove to work and at the end of my shift, my truck would not start. i discovered the reason for it not starting was due to the automatic transmission fuse was blown. i replaced the fuse, started the truck and the fuse blew again. i took it to a mechanic and he discovered the issue with the radiator and transmission. this is a recurring issue with 2005 -2010 pathfinder, frontier and xterra owners. what can be done to hold nissan accountable for a faulty product that they are obviously aware of but will not correct. this is going to cost me $3500 - $4500 to repair

The truck began losing power because it would not shift into lower gears. this put us at risk at higher speeds. the problem got worse and we took it to the nissan dealer. we learned that nissan knew of the issue, but failed to notify us. they knowingly let us drive a dangerous truck for years.. we were lucky we brought it in when we did. we always had our truck repaired at the nissan dealer, they had numerous opportunities to tell us, or write us. we have not moved! this is wrong and the class action lawsuit settlement is unfair to those of us who happened to have the issue at mileage over 100,000. the judge should have required nissan to warn us. we are going to have to pay $5000 to have this repaired, we already paid $200 dollars in new fluids thinking that was the issue.

Lights on dash came on while in park and engine running. took it to dealer, and was notified that the radiator coolant had leaked into the transmission. repair will cost $5,900.94 for new transmission and radiator. i had no idea that anything that serious was going on. i felt no issues while driving.

Nhtsa action number 12004. this week my 2007 nissan frontier's transmission failed at roughly 62,000 miles. i had the vehicle towed to my nearest nissan dealer where they informed me that it failed due to a leak in the cooling system causing coolant to leak into the transmission causing the failure. they also informed me that this has been such a problem that nissan "extended the warranty" to help fix the problem. the only issue is that the deductible for the "warranty" is $3,000! that does not seem like much of a warranty to me. i feel like nissan has admitted the problem and is trying to avoid a recall by issuing the extended warranty with a deductible that is most likely covering a majority of the cost of the job if not entirely. since this investigation is still open i thought it only appropriate to contribute.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan frontier. while attempting to start the vehicle, it failed to start. the vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the radiator was leaking into the transmission. the vehicle was then towed to an authorized dealer where it was confirmed that the radiator was the cause of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 102,000. the vin was not available.

My radiator had failed causing transmission fluid to enter the coolant and coolant to enter the transmission. once nissan replaced the radiator and flushed out both systems, the transmission seem to drive ok, and the nissan dealer said it seems to be ok. after driving the vehicle for a month the transmission has developed slippage due to the previous radiator with an internal transmission cooler that caused internal damage to the transmission. if nissan had built the truck with an external transmission cooler separate from the radiator, i wouldn't have had an issue with the transmission once the radiator failed. as an ase certified mechanic with working in the industry for 10 years, also serving in the military as a maintenance mechanic, and with all the different models of vehicles that i have owned; have i ever had this problem where one component fails that would cause me to replace a transmission. i am starting to believe that nissan is not any better than owning any other car, as the technology seems to not be getting better but more costly to us the consumers. the vehicle was drivin at about 30 mph when the truck temp gauge elevated, and coolant burping out. i immediately shut it down to check and discover the issue was the radiator. once taken to the shop by tow truck the shop said the transmission fluid had coolant inside and transmission fluid inside the engine coolant area and passages.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Fuel gauge sporadically measures incorrectly. check engine light comes on when readings are incorrect, then goes off. both while stationary or driving, on a mix of city and highway driving. similar models/ model years may have already been recalled for similar issues (http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/news/2010/03/nissan-recalls-over-500-000-vehicles-for-brake-fuel-gauge-concerns/index.htm). was never notified of any recall.

A crack came in the radiator, forcing coolant into the transmission, damaging the transmission.

The automatic transmission would not change gear properly. it is slow in changing gear and the "check engine light" blinks.

My transmisiÓn stop working a dont no tha problem.

While driving on a paved state highway at aprx 50mph, the vehicle slowed down and rpm's went up. much like the transmission had downshifted. this is an automatic trans. couldn't manually get it back to normal by downshifting or putting it into neutral. service engine soon light was now lit. pulled over, stopped and turned off engine. under the hood there was no obvious sign of leaking, broken belts or smoke. restarted the truck and drove home aprx 10 miles with no problem, but service engine soon light still on. drove it the next day to autozone (5miles total) and showed codes p1774 and p0717. researching the codes led me to all the transmission replacement problems due to a failure of the trans fluid cooler inside the radiator which mixes that oil with coolant and destroys components inside the transmission and requires replacement. now i have to figure what to do facing a $6000 repair bill on a $10000 vehicle. this had me losing speed in a traffic situation that could have been dangerous and stranding us as an elderly couple with a disabled person in the arizona desert. money aside, it's pretty sad to find out that the nhtsa and nissan have known about this problem for years and neither has taken any proactive steps to inform or warn the owners. just a lot of collecting info and waiting for the vehicles to be carted off as junk and the problem swept under the rug. thanks a lot for stalling for years and doing nothing. safety doesn't just pertain to how many people died! not exactly the right thing to do!

I own a 2007 nissan frontier le crew cab 4x4 and i have owned since it has had 72,000 miles on it. last monday while driving to work my truck shut off in the middle of hwy 53 and locked up the steering and almost took my life. due to the fact nissan has ignored their radiators are faulty leaking into the transmission, i am left with my truck sitting in the yard. i am a 22 year old male with 2 jobs and a full time student without a way to continue to purse my dream of becoming a physical therapist.

Fuel gauge states 1/4th full when it is empty. check engine light comes on and states faulty fuel level sensor. code p0463

Noise from front of engine when starting or while running. have replaced all serpentine belt system parts problem persists. i have now parked the vehicle as problem is worse, and do not want to ruin the engine. mileage 46450.

Transmission failure due to coolant mixing had to have the valve body replaced along with the tcmand new radiator. vehicle cut completely off and would no longer start. after failing to excelerate past 40mph.

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. i really don't want to drive my vehicle and risk having my steering go out because of a defected part. my vehicle is babied and looks like brand new still. always been kept inside garage during winter . this is the first winter it has been driven in snow and we have had snow only a couple times.

Cross contamination of antifreeze and tranny fluid.

Radiator leak resulted in replacing radiator and damaged transmission

Never received recall notice for fuel gauge sender unit/float problem - dealer/nissan will not honor older recall so they say i must pay for repair

Transmission and coolant mixed causing the transmission not to shift properly in traffic. nissan is aware of their faulty components and should be forced to recall and fix, at their expense.

The transmission line runs through the radiator in these vehicles. it broke inside radiator and put transmission fluid into cooling system and coolant into transmission, causing failure of both systems. when problem was detected(service engine light came on and transmission slipping) i took to mechanic, we flushed transmission and cooling system. transmission is systematically failing ,

Trans cooler defected causing water to enter transmission and transmission is not longer functioning.

The transmission failed due to a known design flaw that allows collar from the radiator to leak into the transmission causing it to fail. on my vehicle it failed at 100,800 miles, just barely outside warranty. it will no longer climb hills and has great difficulty gaining initial momentum on flatter roads. it doesn't stall, just sits in one place, rolls backward instead of forward, or excelerates like a 3 toed sloth. the first time it happened we were driving up steep driveway and it just stopped moving. the second time we were on a less steep busy roadway and we're forced to roll backwards in traffic until we could find a place to turn around. issue had not been specifically noticeable prior to this.

Fuel gauge is not accurate or indicates empty with fuel warning light displayed, even when tank is full. research shows that it is a defective fuel level sending unit. this should have been recalled for repair by nissan. running out of fuel, unexpectedly on the highway could have very dangerous consequences.

Transmission slipping and vibration when driving also hard knock. this happens while driving in the city or high ways

I noticed the temperature gauge went up while traveling at higher speeds and when this happened the air conditioner would get warmer. when i slowed down to 50-55 mph the temperature gauge would return to the normal position. i also began to notice that the truck was no longer shifting smoothly at times. i took the vehicle into the dealership and discovered that there was a design flaw in the transmission fluid cooler and cooler contamination so that the vehicle would stop. luckily i did not get stranded on the road, but now i have to replace the transmission and my portion of the bill will be $3500-$3700. this is unacceptable since i keep my maintenance up and get problems handled promptly.

Front lower control arm failure, replacement required. recall 10e019000 is noted and did not include this specific vin. the failure diagnosed at 114k miles but was felt in the irregular handling movements from the front end while stopping and turning. dealer replaced struts and lower control arms due to failure. i believe this failure was premature to the life of what should be expected from these items from the difference after repair these control arms were not 100% i retained the old parts for evaluation of failure due to poor construction or design. the defect was noticed as a ;oud clunging noise during turns.

Defective radiator hose caused coolant fluid to seep into the transmission, damaging it entirely. cost of repairs were $4200.00. nissan neglected to notify owners of defective part and the recall for 2005-2010 models. over 2000 complaints were filed before nissan took corrective action, which included extended warranty to 100,000 miles. however, mechanical issues will not manifest until well over 100,000 miles thus absolving nissan from any responsibility or ownership.

Transmission radiator contamination. loss acceleration on hi way.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan frontier. the contact stated that the fuel level sensor failed and the check engine warning indicator illuminated. in addition, when the vehicle was filled with fuel, the fuel sensor gauge remained on empty. the vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the fuel sensor, o ring, and clip needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 48,000.

My truck stopped in the middle of the freeway and when it was taken tothe mechanic it was collant in the transmission. not onky do ineed to replace the transmission but also the radiator. there wereno signs of this issue or any warnings.

Unintended vehicle acceleration while making u-turn. 90% sure it was not my big feet. stopped and started car and it seemed fine. drove home without incident.

I bought the 2007 nissan frontier off a dealership as a used vehicle with no warranty. one week later the transmission started to slip, the following week the slippage was worse until it lost power and it left me stranded in a parking lot. i took it to my mechanic and he said that it’s a possibility that the transmission computer had gone out and it would be close to $5,000 dollars to replace the transmission. the transmission fuse keeps blowing out once the truck is started. the mechanic said it could be a possibility that it was cross contamination since nissan was known for faulty radiators. so i’m stuck with a truck payment through a loan with a transmission out and i can’t even drive it. there are thousands and thousands of complaints online from people having the exact same issue.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan frontier. after stopping at a stop sign or red light, the vehicle hesitated to respond when the accelerator pedal was depressed. the instrument panel gauges illuminated. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the valve body needed to be replaced. the vehicle was repaired on two separate occasions, but the failure recurred. the vehicle was taken back to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the radiator and transmission fluid mixed together. the radiator and transmission needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 108,000.

When entering hwy 17 (70 mph speed limit) i pressed the gas pedal to the floor to enter oncoming traffic. instead of increasing speed the truck stalled. i pulled onto the right side emergency lane in order to prevent traffic from running over my vehicle. i placed the transmission in park and it seemed to smooth out . motor was running with excess rpm's and transmission was slipping. this was a near accident. i could hear cars behind placing on brakes and blowing horn. when returning home was told by nissan dealership radiator cooler and transmission had to be replaced due to faulty lines. nissan should have recalled this problem.

Our 07 nissan frontier was being driven to be inspected for registration when, at a stop light, it just turned off and would not start. we had it towed to a mechanic. he had to send it to the local nissan dealership for the computer to be replaced and reprogrammed. according to this mechanic, the leak from the radiator has mixed with transmission fluid in the transmission causing all these components to fail and need replacing. this is unacceptable!!

There is a high frequency buzzing / whining noise coming from the secondary timing chain system. this has started to happen on a 2007 nissan frontier vq40 4.0l v6 engine. the noise increases in frequency with engine speed (rpm). attached is the service bulletin. service bulletin reference: ntb09-128 classification: em09-007 date: november 16, 2009

While in the freeway, speed slowed down to 25 mph. got out of the freeway and opened hood. found out radiator coolant low and some white stuff i could see. right then it came to my mind that i have the nissan famous radiator coolant leaking into transmission and would not think it would happen to my truck at 38000 miles. transmission had milky like fluid. why is there no safety recall when so many cars are affected that put a lot of people on danger. instead i got the extended warranty of radiator. the dealer could have replaced the radiator 5 years ago. nissan is aware of the problem for years.

Fuel guage not working

I bought a 2007 nissan frontier from a car dealership in boise idaho called larry h miller i purchase a vehicle and about a month later i noticed it was making noise coming from the rear end come to find out what is the transmission of the radiator falters and i had coolant in my radiator and my radiator coolant in my transmission i called larry h miller and there was a $500 copay to pay before they would even look at it i did not have that kind of money sticking around it's not in my paperwork anywhere about a $500 copay it was under warranty at the time of fault and approximately six months later the truck went totally blank transmission went totally out i from when i understand i'm stuck with it i just want to know if meson would be responsible to to pay for the transmission sit in my driveway and i'm being garnished for the vehicle as we speak. the noise that it would make his as if somebody would ran over a rumble strip and that noise started between 43 and 48 miles an hour

Coolant and transmission lines cross contaminated i found out when my car just stopped turning on so i took it to the dealer and they said i need to change radiator and transmission for close to 6000 dollars because the fluids cross contaminated due to a failure in the radiator. my vehicle has only 60800 miles but is out of warranty due to age and this isn’t right

Transmission and coolant fluid contamination due to faulty radiator!

Just finished reading through 23 pages of complaints going back to 2008 regarding failure of the fuel level sender unit--primarily on 2007 nissan frontiers. mine failed at approximately 69,000 miles in february 2020, with the same symptoms that numerous other owners experienced: upon filling the tank, the gauge would drop to zero, the low fuel light would illuminate as would the check engine light--my code reader displayed a 463 code, fuel level sensor failure. the gauge would gradually go to full, and operate normally until it read just under half full, when it would again drop to zero. while the failure fell within the 72000 mile extended warranty, the year didn't, so nissan refused to make the repairs. i have to join the chorus of 2007 frontier owners wondering why identical 2006 and 2008 models--with exactly the same sender--were subject to a safety recall, but not the 2007s. it's an obvious safety issue, or the fuel gauge sender's performance wouldn't be included as an error code in the obd ii system. how about working the problem, ntsha? it's not too late!

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan frontier. the contact stated that while his son was driving 65 mph, the vehicle vibrated abnormally with the check engine warning light illuminated. the driver pulled over and called the contact for assistance. the contact drove the vehicle back to the residence. the vehicle was later taken to petro nissan (6248 us-98, hattiesburg, ms 39402) where the vehicle was diagnosed with a defective transmission and radiator. the manufacturer was notified of the failure however, offered no additional assistance. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was 114,000.

Complete transmission failure including engine radiator due the nissan design.

Leaking coolant mixed with transmission fluid through the cooler lines causing transmission failure.

You have to call the dealership nissan in albuquerque nm on lomas i took the truck in and it's going to be about 5,000 to fix

Driver seat belt doesn’t retract. passenger front airbag warning lights on. a/c switch has dead spot position #2.

I had to have the timing chain replaced on my vehicle at a cost of $1550. nissan put plastic guides for the time chain knowing they would wear down causing the consumer an additional cost to replace this way earlier than most vehicles. after the repair work the nissan mechanic showed me the plastic guides and there was almost nothing left of it. very scary to think what would of happened if i was driving the vehicle when the plastic guide wore out. this could of cause serious harm to someone if it had completely warn down while driving. nissan knew this and has done nothing to fix the problem as all owners of their vehicles are forces to pay the deliberate cost to have the very expensive out of pocket replacement work done.

Transmission contaminated with engine coolant @ 81,000 miles. catastrophic transmission failure, engine overheated and the vehicle quit moving. occurred while in motion on a rural road and vehicle had to be towed home.

About 10000 miles ago airbag light started continuously blinking with a possible b1054 computer code. $1300 repair!

My name is mrs.[xxx]. on 5.29.2019, my vehicle's transmission failed as a result of a manufacturing defect. i took my vehicle to aamco and had it repaired at a cost of $5,258.45 . while my vehicle was being repaired i discovered there are numerous tax paying consumers who have experienced the same mechanical failure. i, also, discovered despite knowing about this problem, nissan has refused and/or failed to recall these vehicles or notify the owners about these potential dangers. had the corporation notified the owners the major transmission. failure could have been averted with a simple procedure at a cost of $700- $1,000 . instead the company kept silent about the issues. as a result american consumers have been footing the bill for nissan's defect, to the toon of thousands of dollars. i contacted nissan's ceo seekng reimbursement for the $5,258.45 out of pocket expenses it took to fix nissan's manufacturing defect. i was referred to the consumer affairs department by ceo hiroto sarkawa. consumer agent [xxx] id # [xxx] initially denied my request verbally alleging that because i took my vehicle to an outside mechanic i am not eligible for rereimbursement. however in writing she claimed nissan was unable to offer financial assistance with the repair of the transmission due to the vehicle being outside of your new vehicle limited warranty information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

At 132,000 miles my transmission and radiator failed at the same time. i have come to understand that this is a known defect in nissans. i did not know this was an ongoing problem with nissans. the cost to repair is going to be more than $5000. this is terrible.

While replacing the truck bed for rust we discovered the frame is rusted almost in half in multiple spots. frame was not sprayed to prevent rust. spayed to prevent rust in the pictures was done by us.

Transmission failure

Apparently my vehicle is not covered by the below campaign when in fact it's exhibiting the behavior explained on the recall. i called the dealer in sunnyvale ca and they confirmed that is not covered. nissan should take responsibility for the faulty airbag sensor across the board not just in some states! nhtsa campaign id: 08v690000 report date: dec 18, 2008 vehicles affected: 242720

We are a auto dealer in ohio. after purchasing a 2007 nissan frontier crew cab 4x4 at the auction, we did a post sale inspection and it passed. we brought it home and did a 60 point inspection, outside of an airbag light issue, it passed once again. one week later, the transmission is shot. after a transmission shop called me today and said $3000 to replace transmission, i found out this is a common problem that nissan will not be accountable for. i am looking for any and all assistance. this quote sums it up well, “simply extending the warranty coverage for the radiator without warning consumers of the consequences to the transmission only makes sense if nissan is looking to cut their losses. why didn't nissan warn consumers that the transmission could fail quickly as a result of a cracked cooler tube? how many consumers must suffer transmission failures in busy intersections and on busy, congested highways before nissan does the ethical thing and issues a safety recall?”.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan frontier. the contact stated that the headlight assemblies were very foggy and the bulbs were not visible. the failure began a year ago and worsened over time. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the dealer was not contacted. the approximate failure mileage was 86,000.

While on vacation transmission failure due to coolant mixing with transmission faulty radiator taken to mt holly nissan asap while driving it was a safety hazzard

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan frontier. upon starting the vehicle, the air bag warning indicator illuminated. the contact took the vehicle to dorschel nissan (3817 w henrietta rd, rochester, ny 14623, (585) 334-9440) and was informed that the vehicle was not included in a recall; therefore, he would have to pay for the diagnostic testing and repair. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the failure mileage was 148,000.

While driving on the highway on 7/13/2019 i felt my truck jerking/tugging which has never happened before. on 7/14/2019 the 'service engine' light came on and the jerking was more noticeable, i made an appointment with the local nissan dealer for service on 7/16/2019 and i was told that there is coolant mixed in with the transmission and the tcm eventually fried since it is housed inside the transmission, apparently the transmission cooling hoses route to the radiator and the only remedy is to replace the transmission and the radiator. i searched online and found that i am not the only one that this has happened to. the problem

Coolant got mixed in with transmission fluid and truck stopped running.

Gas gauge does not register accurately. example being when tank is empty it still reads 1 quarter full.

Transmission was damage due to water coming from the radiator. mechanic explained it to me to be a recall

Continues airbag problems. from the satellite airbag sensors being rusty and water intrusion to the occupant air bag sensor. i have also had continuous misfires that have caused the catalytic converter on bank 1 to fail

Got in my 2007 frontier to go to work on monday morning ,got about three blocks and pulled out onto the main street and my truck went from third gear back into 1st gear i was only doing the speed limit of 60km an hour, then limped it home to find out my rad was cracked ,i do take very good care of my truck and for this to go all of a sudden. i think nissan should cover the cost .i only have 110 kms on it !!!

My truck service ligth come on 09/25/2018 took it to a transmission mechanic he said there was antifreeze in the transmission the said was bad for that he said it would cost 2500 hundred to fix i've had this truck seen 2007 i never heard anything about this problem 😒

There is a known problem with the fuel sending unit for frontiers about this age. nissan extended the warrantee a few years ago, but it wasn't long enough to cover the defect. now the sending unit needs to be replaced for the fuel gauge to work, and the whole gas tank needs to be dropped to do it. nissan ought to cover this known issue with a full recall, not just an extended warrantee.

We had just had our oil changed in our nissan frontier and had a general check of the vehicle before driving it on a vacation to another state. everything was in perfect working order. we purchased this vehicle new and it has always been well-maintained. it has 118,000 miles. while driving home less than a week after we left, we noticed that the transmission began slipping and coolant was suddenly leaking from the truck. we also noticed a pink or orange fluid mixed with the coolant. we were >3 hours away from home when this happened. the transmission slippage got worse as we were driving. we were luckily able to make it home and took our vehicle in for service. we found out that this truck has the same problem as other nissans--coolant mixed with the transmission fluid, causing the transmission to suddenly fail. now the vehicle is not driveable and were are suddenly left with a very big cost to replace the transmission. this sudden failure of the transmission without any warning is extremely unsafe. we could have been stranded far from home or worse, the transmission could have failed while we were driving, causing an accident. i know that nissan has known about this problem since 2007 and has failed to issue a recall to fix it and failed to change the design of later vehicles. we had no idea that this was a known problem with our vehicle until it happened to us. since everything was in perfect working order when we left, we had no reason to suspect that in less than a week, our vehicle would become undriveable.

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.

Watch spring in steering column broke. air bags will not work.

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.

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.

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.

Cross-contamination between amy freeze in transmission fluid. transmission mechanic quoted at $4000 to replace fix 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.

"takata recall" - total airbag replacement necessary reported by dealer and two other mechanics. airgbag light on. airbg never deployed or front end collision. 3500 dollar repair?

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.

Air bags light is always on and transmisiÓn code 1774 was on recall, my transmision broke down

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.

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.

Coolant cross contaminated radiator and transmission and my timing chain need to be replaced. only have 83,000

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 radiator is defective and let's the anti-frezee mix with the transmission fluid.

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.

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

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.

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.

In the middle of driving down a busy public highway the transmission starts to go out with no signs leading up to failure.

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.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan frontier. the contact stated that the vehicle was taken to nissan of elk grove (8590 laguna grove dr, elk grove, ca 95757, (916) 405-5000) to be repaired per nhtsa campaign number: 08v690000 (air bags). the contact stated that the mechanic was unable to perform the recall repair or software update. the contact was informed that a diagnostic test was needed prior to the recall remedy being performed. the contact declined. the contact stated that after leaving the dealer, the air bag warning indicator illuminated and remained lit. the contact stated that the air bag warning indicator was not illuminated prior to aborting the software update. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was contacted and provided case number: 28367938. the contact was informed that it was the dealer's discretion as to the next steps to be taken. the approximate failure mileage was 126,000.

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 is well maintained with 115,000 miles odometer reading. this is the 2nd time the rear axle seas have failed, resulting in gear oil soaking rear brakes, resulting in oil contamination of brake pads and rendering the parking brake ineffective. the reason was explained by nissan as a rusted $14 breather tube in the differential housing causing pressure build up to ruin the $7 dollar seals. the result is a repair any where fro $1500 for a difficult axle pull to get to the seals or up to$6500 to replace the entire rear assembly. the problem with seal replacement is it is difficult and time consuming and must be performed perfectly or the seals will leak again. the root cause is a poor breather system,. nissan is aware of this problem and refuses to acknowledge the defective design and application. continued use will cause premature rear brake failure and too much stress on the front brakes to stop the vehicle.

Took my nissan frontier to pacific nissan in san diego for a consistent jerk/knock with sound of liquid gurgling. notified that i was lucky that the truck made it to the shop. notified that there is a fluid intermix between my coolant and transmission fluids. how can that be when they are two totally different systems? nissan is offering that i pay the deductible of 3000$ to get it fixed. i just found out that this is a known issue for all frontiers, xterras and pathfinders and nissan is not being pro-active in issuing repairs prior to this problem happening and sticking the consumers with the cost to repair the vehicle. how can this be allowed to happen?

My nissan frontier pick up went completely dead and would not start after i had refueled at a gas station. i checked out the battery connections and ignition and found nothing out of the ordinary. i then called a local dealership service department and had it towed in for diagnosis for repair. the service manager called me the next day and informed me that the transmission valve body was in need of replacement at a cost of $1800.00. after a week or so i called and was told my vehicle was ready. i picked it up and paid the bill. shortly afterward i noticed the vehicle was shifting an little hard but dismissed it as possible characteristic of a new part functioning differently. after about 4 months i noticed an increase in this shifting and so i checked transmission fluid level which was a little low but a healthy color. i added transmission fluid and transmission operated ok for about 6 weeks now the transmission is shifting very hard and slips and some times the vehicle jump forward just slightly when at a stop sign or stop light. i have began investigating this problem online and discovered this is happening a lot with nissans vehicles not just the frontiers, but also pathfinders and exterras. some consumer group are seeking a recall for this problem and i hope they get it because i cannot afford to pay $1800.00 every six months.

The problem began as "shudder" resembling what is felt when the car moves onto the "rumble strip" near the shoulder of the road. this occurred while traveling at lower rpms (1500 - 2000) at average highway speeds in 5th gear (55 - 65 mph). since the vehicle is primarily driven in town at lower speeds, the "shudder" occurred rarely and was not initially identified as a problem. over the course of several months, the problem began occurring more frequently and at lower speeds, but always at lower rpms (1500 to 2000) and in all gears. as the shudder worsened, the vehicle also began to shift more roughly, often jarring as it moved from one gear to the next. (this occurs at all gear changes.). the vehicle is now "slipping" quite badly as it moves from 4th to 5th gear. the vehicle was taken to a mechanic who diagnosed torque converter problems and possible transmission failure. the mechanic has recommended replacement of the transmission. it appears there may have been a valve body failure in the transmission and cross-contamination of the coolant and transmission fluid.

Drove a very short distance near my work and heard a bubbling sound in the engine compartment, knew immediately something was wrong with the radiator. a few seconds later it was like a small explosion and i was able to park. the goo coming from underneath was unlike anything i had seen before. i had usaa tow it off, dealership said crack in the radiator caused fluids to mix and corrupt the transmission and found out 15 days later that nothing would be covered. didn't know about the massive, wide-spread problems with this exact scenario. dealer didn't know, insurance and adjuster never said anything. wasn't until a small town mechanic told my mother-in-law, that we heard about these issues from other nissan owners. i am hesitant to have factor parts put back in it if, according to others, the same problem could re-occur.

Fuel gauge dropped from full to below empty and check engine light came on. diagnosed with p0463 error code, fuel sensor unit malfunction. it appears that nissan has replaced the unit on 2006 & 2008 units, but for some reason failed to address the 2007 model year. vehicle has 54k miles. this could create safety issue if someone runs out of fuel during heavy traffic.

Transmission failed due to coolant intermixing with transmission fluid. this is the second time this vehicle has had catastrophic transmission failure due to a crack in the cooling system. first time was just over the warranty so i was forced to pay a $2500 copay. the vihicle started showing signs of a secondary failure just prior to 100000 miles and when i brought it to the dealer they lied to me and said there was just residual oil in the radiator from the first failure... now i am past any warranty copay and the transmission is failing at just 100500 miles. that is just two years (less than 18000 miles) after they replaced the radiator and transmission. this is unacceptable that consumers are being forced to pay for a known issue of poor engineering especially when it was supposedly fixed by the dealer with nissan parts. they have obviously not fixed the problem but just replaced with another defective part. on top of that they denied there was a problem to so i would continue to drive the vehicle until it was past the extended warranty (from 2012 class action lawsuit). while there was no accident in either indecent there was a near collision the first time as i was in the middle of a busy intersection and the second there was traffic behind me that had to avoid rear-ending me as the vehicle stopped, this is a dangerous defect that could result in injury or death.

Air bags off and not functional in 2007 nissan frontier. the red air bag light on dash blinks continuously as well as a second indicator on dash to right of steering wheel that indicates that the air bags are not functional. has been like this for years after nissan is said to have repaired the problem. the nissan dealership that i purchased from is no longer in business - autoplace nissan in buffalo. the nissan dealership that nissan has directed me to ( simmons rockwell nissan ) wants $125 just to diagnose the continuing problem as related to a recall ( nhtsa reference# 08v690000 ). i do not believe that nissan is acting in good faith regarding this continuing problem as related to a recall.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan frontier. the contact stated that the air bag warning light was illuminated. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. the contact was informed that the air bags were disabled and needed to be repaired. the vehicle was not repaired. the vehicle was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 08v690000 (air bags). the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 80,000.

Transmission total failure. radiator line broke and mixed into transmission, destroying it. occurred while driving up a hill.

"takata recall" 84,000 miles on my truck and all of a sudden my air bag safty light starts flashing.what the hell!

"takata recall" transmission failure due to water damage of transmission valve body due to coolant leakage from radiator into transmission. i began to notice a vibration around 1200 to 1600 rpm that would smooth out at higher rpms.

Transmission will not go into gear due to coolant leaking into transmission. it is a manufacturer defect that nissan has known about, but refuses to fix. they do not tell the buyer of the looming catastrophic failure, and continued to manufacture the vehicles for several more years even after discovering the problem, probably because it fails after the warranty is up. i now have a truck that i bought just a little over a year ago for $17000 that will not move. the cost to fix the problem can range anywhere from $4000 to $10000 depending on how much damage was caused by the defect. if it were to have been in a wreck and that much money in body damage would have occurred it would be totaled. how ever since it is a mechanical issue i am stuck paying $360 a month for a useless vehicle, that even if i could afford to get it fixed, i would be putting way more money into it than it is worth. when i purchased it from the nissan dealership it had an as is no warranty tag in the window, but that was not true. nissan had a warranty for that specific problem, but the dealership did not tell me. when i called and asked the service department, the service writer pretended not to know anything about it until i started grilling him about it. he then admitted it was a big problem in 3 of their vehicles, then told me it wasn't his problem, it was sales problem and transferred me to them. i talked to the manager, he said that the extended warranty nissan offered, the one they neglected to mention, expired the month before my transmission failed, and even then i would have been out $2500 for a known defect that they continued to put in the vehicles for several more years. i was lucky it failed in a parking lot and not when i was pulling out into traffic where i could have been hit by another car and injured or killed! this problem is not the consumers fault, it is nissans!

Cracked radiator leaked fluid into the transmission cooler ruining the transmission.an issue nissan knows about, yet does nothing but extending a bogus warranty. truck has 68k.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan frontier. the contact stated that the fuel gauge failed to provide accurate reading levels and remained indicating that the fuel tank was full. the contact refueled the vehicle several times but the fuel gauge remained indicating full. the dealer and the manufacturer were notified of the failure and stated that the vehicle was not included in a manufacturer recall related to the failure. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic. the approximate failure mileage was 60,100.

My truck stopped running as i was getting off the highway. i tried to put it in gear and it wouldn't go. i turned it off and on couple of times til i got it to slowly drive off thr traffic lane. i parked it then had it towed, turned out the radiator coolant has leaked into my transmission. it's been in the shop for over 3 weeks now and the repair cost is going to be around $6500.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan frontier. while driving at various speeds, the fuel gauge would indicated there was low fuel in the vehicle and would register the incorrect amount of fuel on the instrument panel. the contact also stated that the check engine light illuminated on the instrument panel. the vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the fuel sending unit failed and needed to be replaced. the vin was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 10v075000 (fuel system, gasoline). the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 65,000.

Nissan is aware of leaking radiators and not until a class action lawsuit was filed they did not take responsibility and only help pay with a copay if the vehicle is less then 90,000 miles. which is ridiculous because it should it be unlimited mileage for that type of repair. radiator leaked coolant fluid into transmission and corroded and broke seals on transmission caused it to brake and have car shut down

Transmission fluid cooler failed causing water to to get into the transmission fluid which damaged the transmission computer valve body and other transmission parts. after looking @ numerous complaint on the web i have learned that this has been a common problem that nissan is aware of. i am very disappointed that nissan did not send out any notification that there was a problem with this cooler failing. i read where they extended the warranty on some vehicle but no notifications were sent out to consumers who owned affected vehicles. even if they did not do a recall it would have been better if they would have warns consumers of the possibility of this happening. it's much less expensive to change a radiator than to rebuild or replace a transmission! fortunately my transmission went just after i made home from a trip. now i am stuck with over $3500.00 transmission rebuild that could have been avoid if nissan had done the right thing by letting people know that they had problems with their transmission coolers.

About 3 weeks ago my truck was not shifting correctly i take to the dealer and they found a code p0717 for a turbine revolution sensor. they found there to be water being pumped into the transmission. apparently the radiator leaks water into the transmission.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan frontier. while driving 30 mph, there was an odor emitted into the vents and the contact noticed smoke under the hood. the contact coasted over to the side of the road and noticed oil and antifreeze fluid spilling from the reserve tank onto the transmission. the vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the spill caused the transmission and radiator to fail. both the radiator and transmission needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the vin was unknown. the approximate failure mileage was 94,000. updated 04/14/16*lj updated 04/18/16. *jb

Was told the timing chain and tensioners need to be replaced found out this is a very common problem with nissans and they will do nothing to remedy the situation

The fuel level sensor has failed causing a safety issue. the 2006 and the 2008 model years have been recalled for this same issue but not the 2007 model

Radiator fluid mixed with transmission fluid due to faulty radiator, beyond useless extended warranty, resulting in my burden to pay, according to nissan a 2500.00 dollar deductible, plus taxes. nice, my truck has only 49,000 miles on it, no off road use, and now getting to the point of useless. thanks nissan. oh, don't forget the towing charge to the nearest dealer over one hour away for repairs. i just started with transmission symptoms of intermittent grinding with overdrive engaged on the shiftier. took my truck to garage for inspection, they checked the transmission fluid and, ya you guessed it, radiator fluid mixed with it.

Trans cooler rupture and mixing coolant with transmission fluid. ruined transmission/computer/radiator and left stranded on road. very expensive fix for a problem that nissan has with 2005-2010 models and were aware of. nissan deceived the consumers and has not done enough to satisfy customers. i will not purchase another nissan vehicle. i think they need to send letter to each vin with proper instructions on how to fix this issue so it does not happen again.

Around 3 months ago i started noticing between 1000 and 2000 rpms and usually between 40 and 60 mph my vehicle would shake like i was driving on rumble strips. turns out i had a cross contamination issue with coolant and atf. looking in my radiator looked like a strawberry milkshake. also dropped the transmission pan and found a brown shiney mixture of atf and coolant. i immediately went out and bought a new radiator and fluids for my truck. total cost around $400 so far. after the fluid flushes and new radiator truck ran good for about 1700 miles. about a week ago 01/20/2016 a slight rumbling started again. 2 days ago the issue turned very severe. rpms were staying very high around 3000 then would get a very violent clunk as the transmission shifted gears. this happened multiple times. i drove the truck yesterday and was sitting in traffic and went to start went light turned green. rpms went to almost 3 with no movement from the truck then all of a sudden truck gave the violent clunk again and slammed into gear and started moving. i did not drive the vehicle today in fear of a catistrrophic breakdown or worse. like a transmission lock up at 60 mph causing an accident. i have been shopping transmission shops and it looks like definitely need transmission rebuild or replacement at an estimated fee of $3000 to $6000. this is for an issue that nissan has been aware of and failed to communicate or take responsibility for with their customers. issue seem to be when driving straight city or highway at the above speeds and rpms range.

While driving fuel gauge suddenly dropped to empty and caused service engine warning light to come on. this has happened on 5 occasions. problem seems related to that addressed by nhtsa campaign # 10v075000 for 2006 and 2008 nissan frontiers although the 2007 frontier is not addressed in this campaign.

Timing chain, guide and tensioner must be replaced

My frontier died on 12/6 / on 12/7/2015, i had it towed to the boardwalk nissan and paid $100 to have the problem diagnosed. i was told the repairs would cost $10,500. the radiator caused the transmission to go out in turn causing the computer panel to burn out. i asked the service adviser was there something i could've done to prevent the problem. he said no, the problem happens. i then had the truck towed home. now, i find out there was a problem that nissan should've known about, had they made the repairs to the radiator, my truck would be working today. this makes me angry. 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.

Timing chain guides, tensioners, guides, shoes and seals, witch made noise the whole time i had the truck and the dealer never said anything until after my warranty expired. *js

With no prior warning, transmission failed on the vehicle. this has now happened twice, in november 2013 and december 2015. in both cases, vehicle lost all transmission of power to the drive train. in both cases, transmission fluid could be smelled when the hood is opened afterwards. manual clutch continues to function perfectly, and guage shows proper rpms, but the vehicle will not move. in both cases, vehicle was moving in a straight line, once at freeway speeds of about 65 mph and once in a residential neighborhood at approximately 25 mph. because of the sudden loss of power, especially on the freeway, the problem caused a sudden slowing which affected the traffic around me.

Fuel level gauge failed at approximately 76k miles. received code po 461 indicating sensor failure. currently using odometer to keep from running out of gas while driving. noted recall 10v075000 apparently covers this exact problem but 2007 model year not included. service bulletin ntb-07-069c also notes issue of defective oem part used by nissan in manufacture of vehicle, but only recourse is to replace at owner's expense. note over 150 separate complaints under various categories for this identical problem. seems like a valid safety issue requiring a voluntary recall by nissan for affected vehicles or a mandatory recall by nhtsa.

My service engine light remains on. my gas guage will fluctuate from empty even tho it is full to half full when it is empty i saw a recall for this problem for the 2006 and 2008 models but not for my 2007. i checked to see if there were any recalls for my truck and there were not. please help.

My transmission failed to water in transmission due to faulty radiator because of recall i was never informed of untill i researched it after it happened 10 /17/15 it stayed in high gear on hwy 98 i almost got hit 2 or 3 times i had it towed to advanced trans. spanish fort , al invoice #10892 water in trans. 3996.89 for rpairs

Check engine light on and fuel gauge inoperative. will not pass smog as sending unit default. ran out of gas on highway. have been using mileage indicator to fill up.

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.

These vehicles contain a defective radiator cooler tank that ruptures and forces coolant into the transmission through the cooler lines. when the coolant mixes with transmission fluid it creates a frothy liquid that eats valves, errodes seals and causes corrosion. it’s toxic, irreversible and will eventually kill the 5-speed automatic transmission. which it did

Purchased the truck 8-1-2015, drove it about 2 months (1700 miles). while driving and turning left with oncoming traffic, the transmission hesitated nearly causing and accident. took the truck to nissan to be checked out. they diagnosed that the radiator cracked causing contaminatiion of coolant into the transmission. since the transmission cooler was built inside the radiator. which after reading a little research was a known problem by nissan for 6 model years (2005-2010).

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan frontier. while driving 40 mph, the vehicle shook violently. the contact coasted to the side of the road and was able to restart the vehicle after thirty minutes. the contact also stated that the radiator cracked. the failure recurred numerous times. the contact was advised by the dealer that the vehicle needed a new transmission and radiator. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 82,000.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan frontier. while driving at various speeds the vehicle would hesitate to shift gears. after examining the vehicle, the contact discovered that transmission fluid was present in the radiator coolant. the cause of the failure was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not notified. the vin was not available. the failure mileage was 80,000.

Transmission damage attributed to contamination by engine coolant. the source of the contamination is a cracked atf line that runs through an engine coolant chamber in the radiator.

Radiator repaired as leakage from crack causes transmission to go bad , known by nissan according to service dept

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan frontier. the contact stated that the vehicle was difficult to reverse. the vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the transmission needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 45,000. updated 11/18/15*lj the consumer stated the dealer advised the vehicle was unsafe to be driven. the vehicle not reversing was the first sign of transmission failure. updated 1/14/2016*js *cn

For approximately 1 month prior to the transmission failing, i notice a "bucking" from the transmission following shifts and only at low rpm's. i had the transmission fluid levels checked during an oil change in january 2014, and fluid was added (the transmission was not flushed.) the "bucking" seemed to subside for a few days, however what i next experienced next was far worse. on three or four occassions, the truck suddenly acted at though the transmission disengaged, as if it were in neutral. each of these incidents occurred on 4 lane highways, at highway speed. as i recall, on at least one of these occassions traffic was very light, and i was able to safely exit the highway. however, on the other occassions, the sudden loss of speed and ability to accelerate very very nearly caused a serious accident.

Transmission failure. driving on freeway vehicle wouldn't shift into gear. i was stuck and on my way home in heavy traffic. truck started shaking. took it to aamco on 5/2/15. cost me over $3770.00. on 9/6/15 took first trip to the mountains, again my transmission goes out. this time we're in the mountains going up hill when my truck won't shift into gear. once again i have to have my truck fixed. i don't own a bank and i need my truck to work. what the hell am i going to do to make a living? what is nissan waiting for someone or a family getting killed???

When the truck transmission shifted into 5th gear there was a grinding noise in the transmission. this problem has been repccuring and getting worse. the nissian dealer verified it is due to contaminated transmission fluid due to a leak in the cooling radiator.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan frontier. when the ignition was turned to the on position, the air bag warning indicator illuminated intermittently. the failure recurred continuously. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed that the front passenger air bag sensor failed and needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that the vin was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 08v690000 (air bags). the failure mileage was approximately 77,000.

I took my truck to temecula nissan and had it check, they told me my air bag would not open if i was in an accident, faulty spiral cable-p1564,faulty vent control valve-p0448, faulty fuel tank sending unit- p0463 this are things that need to be fixed, some of them are on a recall list but i was told it expired. so i could die behind this. *cn

I was rear ended 04/20/2015 ,back injury, police report, other driver insurance taking care of bills, no settlement yet. in june, noticed transmission slip & leak in drive way. in repair shop on friday, 07/31/2015. they advised me radiator crack and transmission fluid leaked into radiator. $1,200.00 to repair all. they instructed to do so.

My 2007 nissan frontier heater would not warm up when idling. i took it to the dealership in december 2014 and they flushed the lines. six months later the transmission began to slip. i took it back to the dealer and they informed me that due to a manufacturer's defect engine coolant leaked into the transmission and destroyed it! i would need a new transmission and radiator. because the vehicle was now 8 years old, the warranty will only cover part of the cost and i am responsible for $2,500. after researching this problem, i found that one of the warning signs was a heater that would not warm up while idling. the vehicle could have been fixed in december of 2014 and covered fully by warranty, however, the dealer did not warn me! now, nissan says there is nothing they can do! i'm frustrated to say the least and have purchased my last nissan!

Nissan sold me a new truck with a design flaw, a faulty fuel sending unit. nissan consumer affairs said i have to take the truck with the design flaw (e.g. failed fuel sending unit) to a nissan dealer and pay to have it diagnosed (though the problem is already known to me as being the design flaw of a failed fuel sending unit) after which they would investigate to see if they can provide assistance to repair it though they admitted after checking my vin they are not aware of any instance that would cover the repair (e.g. they are not going to repair it). the bottom line is i purchased a new nissan frontier which i had maintained by a local mechanic (not a nissan dealership) and it came with a design flaw (e.g. fuel sending unit) that they want me to pay over a hundred dollars to have diagnosed at one of their dealerships after which they aren't going to fix it for me (despite the face saving act of nissan consumer affairs). nissan displayed zero integrity in failing to diagnose and pay to have the design flaw repaired, in my opinion, at their cost. furthermore, the policy they developed to "save face" is disingenuous in my estimation and designed only to increase their profit further. i'm a low income worker who will drive around with a fuel gauge that doesn't work and the service engine light on because i can't pay the hundreds and hundreds of dollars that it would cost to have a design flaw diagnosed at a nissan dealership afterwards paying to repair it myself because nissan isn't going to.

Air bag light came on wont go off, gas gauge stoped working,front end suspension has recall, took it to nissan dealer wont fix said my vin is not on recall list. was told air bag would not work if i was in an accident, faulty spiral cable

Truck started to vibrate like i was driving on a rumple strip around 40 mph. it seemed like the overdrive was struggling to engage or the automatic transmission couldn't find the right gear. i checked the atf and it was a red strawberry milkshake consistency that is often described when there is water contamination. this is a common problem that nissan refuses to recall. it has just over 90k.

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.

Driving when car stopped moving and started rolling backwards. had to put car in reverse. intermittently got it in drive. car was making a humming noise.

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.

I purchased a 2007 nissan frontier in 2013, and just prior to reaching 109,178 my transmission started slipping badly so i took it to my local mechanic and he discovered that my "sealed" transmission was missing two quarts of oil and there were no signs of leaking on the external portion of the transmission. he replaced the missing oil and after a week of driving the transmission was slipping again. he checked the oil level and again it was quart low and slipping badly. it was then i started researching nissan transmission problems and discovered that what i was experiencing was a well known (by nissan) problem with their transmissions. now at 109,275 miles the transmission has completely failed and it all could have been prevented had nissan fixed the well known problem before they sold the vehicle to me. funny the salesman that sold the truck to me suggested that i purchase a "power-train" warranty "just in case" because it was 4wd, i find that very ironic. i purchased the warranty and now i am being told that the repair cost for the blown transmission may not be covered because the transmission cooling radiator is the cause of the failure. i feel that nissan is fully responsible for whatever the cost is to fix the transmission because of their negligence in failing to fix the problem prior to the truck being resold.

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.

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.

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!!!

Radiator leaks into transmission and ruins both the radiator and transmission

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.

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.

My gas gauge dropped to 1/4 then went to empty with light on now it won't move at all

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).

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.

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.

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

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

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

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 product, nissan knows its a defect. *tr

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.

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

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

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

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 our fault,i understand we have to pay but sound like not our fault. good thing car didn't get a fire around transmission area. it's going to be 2 month since nissan keeping our truck. my husband has been driving rent a car to go work and rent a car is not cheap. hopefully we will hear something from you guys and it will be a good news for us. *tr

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

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

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

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

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

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 and it seems that you are aware of the problem, and have had other people like me. please help. *tr

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

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

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

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

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 fault of their own, nissan owners who are out of warranty are left to cover the hefty repair bill, which can be over $4,500 when all is said and done. *tr

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

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

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 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

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

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 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

Coolant backed up into transmission and destroyed the transmission and radiator. *tr

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

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 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

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.

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

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

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

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

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 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

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

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

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

An internal crack on the oil cooler tube caused internal leakage of engine coolant into the transmission causing transmission failure. *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

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 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

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

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.

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

Driving along at highway speed truck shuddered then loss of power to wheels due to a defect in the coolant system mixing with transmission fluid and destroying transmission. *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

2007 nissan frontier fuel sender unit service engine the fuel gauge goes empty and yellow is on. *tr

Fuel indicator reads empty when tank is full. *tr

Never had any power train problems with this truck since i bought it. all of a sudden, i stopped at a red light, when the light changed to green and i pressed the accelerator, the rpm rose but the truck had no acceleration. i took had the truck towed to a mechanic who was able to diagnose the problem as the radiator had leaked into the transmission. it seems from reading the complaints that nissan is well known for this problem! why has nothing been done? i contacted nissan who told me the warranty has expired and no assistance is available. *tr

The engine overheated. when i lifted the hood i noticed a cream colored substance coming out of coolant reservoir. had the truck towed to nissan dealer. after diagnosis was told the transmission fluid and the coolant fluid got mixed together. apparently this has happen before on 2007 nissan frontier engines. dealer said i needed to have the transmission and the radiator replaced at a cost of $7,000 of which they told me nissan would pay $4,000. my complaint is that nissan knew this was a problem with apparently no way to keep it from happening. i feel nissan should be responsible for the total bill. *tr

The transmission started to jump/slip at approx 35 mph.(81800 two weeks later it happened again , now occurring daily (82300). i've read reports of radiator fluid mixing with tran. fluid causing the problem. i expect a trans.failure soon. nissan supposedly has been aware of this for years. increased warranty to 100,000mi. but charging consumers a $3000 deductible. i have been laid off from work ....i can't afford to spend $3000 on a problem that nissan is running from. it is unfair for the consumer to cough up this kind of cash while nissan continues to ignore the problem and not admit fault. *tr

While driving i notice steam from under the hood and the temperature gauge was at maximum hot.i immediately pulled into an auto shop. i contacted nissan consumer affairs and they told me they were aware of the issue of the water pump and anti-freeze getting into the engine. they said the warranty had been extended to cover this problem but it was only extended to vehicles that had less than 80000 miles and since i was over the allotted mileage i was responsible for repairs. how can they not be responsible for repairs on a problem that they knew existed and would have blown up my engine had i not immediately stopped the truck and have it towed to a dealer? if i had been traveling at a high rate of speed i shutter to think of what may have happened.

Just went and started the truck. when you put it in drive and press the gas it does not move readily, it slowly moves even though i am pressing hard on the gas. you can see the rpm going up but the truck barely moving. the truck has no issues in reverse. this happened with no issues no warning just like that it is sad nissan needs to do something about this. i see too many cases on the web with this now known issue.

If left idling longer than 3 minutes (+-), the gas gauge drops to "e" and warning lot comes on. after fill-up, the gas gauge will not move for approx. 120 miles, after which i assume it is accurate. *tr

Gas gauge quit working, making possibility of being stranded on the road. after filling the tank, the gas gauge shows same as before, then after a while, the gas gauge shows empty with the fuel light on, then after a while it shows some gas in the tank (maybe a little over half), then a while later it goes up to almost full. this is a common problem with this model, nissan needs a recall to fix this! *tr

I was driving when my vehicle suddenly lost speed and would not accelerate when i pressed the gas. it eventually stopped, and would not start back. the following day, i had it towed to a reputable repair shop, where i was told that i needed a new transmission and a new radiator, which would cost me more than $6000.00. they explained that there was a crack in the radiator, that caused the transmission fluid to mix with the coolant. this fluid mixture ruined both the transmission and the radiator. believing this was an absurd occurrence, i looked online, and learnt this was a common defect for nissan xterra, frontier and pathfinders from 2005-2010. i called the nissan toll free number and explained my situation. i was given a case number - 11982851 - and was told i needed to get the vehicle diagnosed at a nissan dealer. i paid a second towing fee and got the vehicle to the nearest nissan dealer, where the diagnosis was confirmed. i called back the nissan toll free number, and was told that because my vehicle was over 100 k miles, they would do nothing to help me. i asked to talk to a supervisor, and was told none was available, but one would call me within 4-8 hours. that time has expired, and i have called back three times, but still have not been able to talk to a supervisor. frustrating to have bought a nissan vehicle right off the freight truck, brand new, and having to change out the transmission so soon, especially knowing the manufacturers were aware of the defect. also, i was not given any warning, and was just driving along, and had a failure that could have caused a serious accident. *tr

Radiator crack caused transmission failure we have 81,000 miles on the truck so they want us to have to pay 2500+ dollars for a 6 year old truck for which we had a 100,000 mile warranty/72 month warranty and on which we paid hundreds of dollars for every major mileage inspection and service. nothing was done to tell us or warn us of this. people will also lose resale value because no one will want to buy the vehicles. we should be compensated for the repairs and the loss of resale potential. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan frontier. the contact stated that transmission fluid was erroneously entering the radiator. the vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was determined that the radiator and transmission both needed to be replaced. the vehicle was repaired. the manufacturer was contacted about the failure. the failure mileage was 75,569. ..updated 09/30/13 *bf the consumer stated there was an engine whine (noise) at all speeds. there maybe a failure with the timing chain. there was a rear axle leak which may be caused by a bad vent check valve. the power socket counsel was not working. updated 10/29/2013 *js

While driving my 2007 nissan frontier i noticed a heavy grinding noise occurring at 40 mph. the transmission was slipping before shifting into overdrive. i took my truck to two different certified mechanics to find out that i needed a new transmission and radiator. the radiator coolant leaked into the transmission causing contamination of the transmission fluid resulting in failure of the transmission. i purchased this truck new from a nissan dealership and planned to drive this truck beyond its current mileage. after researching this online and reading all the complaints i will never buy another nissan. the cost to get this fixed is $4700.00 for a new transmission and radiator. this cost is absolutely ridiculous because the price of all the rebuilt transmissions out there for the frontier have escalated due to the demand on them. nissan should have put a recall on all their vehicles with this problem and all this could have been avoided. nissan lost a loyal customer and if there is a class action lawsuit in maryland i would like to know. nissan should pay for this.....totally ridiculous and a time consuming expensive nightmare. *tr

Transmission has water in the fluid. *tr

My transmission failed due to radiator coolant mixing with my transmission fluid. nissan knew about the factory defect but failed to notify the consumers or replace the transmissions. nissan was involved in a class action lawsuit and increased the transmission warranty to 10 years or 100k miles. but they required the customer to provide a co-pay of $3000.00 (which is ridiculous). however i noticed symptoms of my truck shuttering and thumping into gear around 95,000 miles, my vehicle had appx110,000 miles on it when the nissan dealership officially diagnosed the problem. furthermore, mileage should not matter because this is a "factory defect". i bought my nissan frontier new in 2007 and it was only a matter of time before the transmission failed due to the "factory defect". please inform me if there is any recourse/recall for this situation. thank you. *tr

The fuel gauge has issues with proper amount of fuel in tank. the service engine light on with a po0643 code. the 2006 and 2008 models are covered by a recall, but not the 2007 for the same exact problem with the same parts being used. something must be done! *tr

After filling up my gas tank, the fuel gauge stayed on empty when i started my 2007 frontier. as i was driving along the highway, the gauge slowly moved to the full position (roughly an hour after fill-up) yesterday, 7/14/13 i filled up- thinking the previous incident was a fluke. this time the check engine light came on(still on) and the gauge is only at half a tank. the local nissan dealer quoted me $500.00 to fix the issue ,and told me that 72,000 miles was the cut-off for the warranty again, it has 85,000 miles on it. *tr

I took my vehicle in to have the transmission fluid changed and was told that the transmission had anti-freeze contamination and could result in sudden catastrophic failure of the transmission, and that nissan was aware of this but would take no action to repair or recall the vehicle. if this is a know manufacture defect and is resulting in catastrophic failure with potential crash, and injury potential, why aren't the vehicles being recalled and repaired? *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan frontier. the contact stated that while driving 55 mph, the transmission hesitated without warning. the vehicle was not repaired and the manufacturer was notified of the issue. the approximate failure mileage was 104,000. *tr

I was driving my truck on a two lane road at approximately 40 mph when the truck started to shake and shutter and would not shift properly. i was almost rear ended on a bend in the road because of the reduced speed i had to drive to keep the truck from shaking. i have researched my nissan frontier's transmission issue and it appears to be a cross contamination issue where the transmission cooler leaks allowing transmission fluid and radiator coolant to mix causing damage to the transmission. i have not driven the truck since the incident for fear of a total transmission failure which has happend to other nissan frontier owners causing them to be standed on the roadway. nissan seems to not want to recall the trucks for the cross contamination issue which i feel puts peoples lives in danger. *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

Transmission cooler failure, coolant contaminated transmission fluid. burned clutches. failed shift solenoids, shorted transmission control module. *tr

The car was brought in for fluid changes since the car was nearly at the 100,000 mile mark. they explained the radiator had failed and caused the transmission to be contaminated. this car was brought in several times over the years and they never disclosed that this known problem can ruin a transmission. i paid 3000.00 to have the car fixed because i was in the 80-100,000 k mile range. this class action settlement is a bad deal for nissan consumers. we should have been notified that that this could happen. i would have gladly paid 600.00 to have the radiator replaced. its a good thing this happened while at the dealership. i understand that many people have been stranded. nissan knows this and fails to tell its customers. this is unsafe, and i think it should be a full recall. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan frontier. the contact stated while traveling 55 mph the transmission started to slip. the vehicle started slowing down and making a grinding noise. the vehicle was taken to the dealer who stated that the coolant from the radiator leaked into the transmission and caused the failure. the failure and current mileage was 104,000. *tr

After filling up and entire tank of gas, my needle dropped to empty, and my odometer read -------, not reading anything at all. every fill up after, it is the same thing. i looked online and read that there is an epidemic with nissan and my vehicle with this situation, however, after going to the dealership and asking if there was a recall, i was told 'no' and i would have to pay out of pocket, for a common problem, with the nissan frontier/pathfinder, from the manufacturer. *tr

After reading about previous complaints online and an investigation performed by nhtsa i think the transmission is leaking fluid into the radiator. what was the conclusion of your investigation? *tr

This refers to my 07 nissan frontier with 90k miles. since august 2012, fuel gauge is erratic indicating erroneous fuel level. may show fuel when empty or empty when tank if fuel. potential for running out of gas on highway creating hazardous circumstance. diagnostic code is p0463. internet search reveals many with same problem on nissan. allegedly same problem resulted in recall for 2006 but not for 2007 models with same issue. why? customer service at local nissan dealer and nissan main office not particularly helpful except to say local dealer will fix for 400-500 plus 120 for initial diagnosis. blatantly unfair to customer for this safety issue. this is not a worn out part, it is a defective electrical fuel sensor sending unit. *tr

Nissan extended a limited warranty for a fuel gauge sending unit which displays incorrect amount of fuel. my nissan has passed the year of extended warranty not the miles. so nissan failed my "hardship request" that they sent my case through. though i did not have any problems with the fuel sending unit until after the warranty expired, nissan's decision was to deny my fix. i don't see how i can report a problem if it has not occurred. the nissan official told me over the phone that i had not spent enough money at the dealer ship/has not had my vehicle serviced there enough though my vehicle was there times before and i had maintenance performed at another qualified service center. *tr

I parked my truck and later tried to start it and it wouldn't. had it towed to one repair shop ($45.00 plus $75.00 to the repair shop) and they referred me to a transmission mechanic. so i had it towed there ($45.00) and he said that radiator fluid had leaked into the transmission. i've had the truck about 2 weeks before this happened. the estimate on repairs is $3,500. watch and see what god makes happen! *tr

Vehicle began running poorly and stuttering between gear shifts. knew about the potential for the transmission and radiator fluid to mix and destroy the engine from the lawsuit that was filed and correspondence we had received from nissan. sure enough, took the vehicle to a nissan dealer and an independent car shop and both diagnosed the same thing - radiator and transmission fluids mixing. no option but to get it repaired for a whopping $4,409.26. it is disgraceful that nissan will not formally acknowledge this defect and pay for the repair bill no matter what your mileage. this was our first and last nissan. *tr

I am writing this on may 9, 2013. about a week ago my 2007 nissan frontier experienced slow acceleration. i put it in 1st and drove slowly for 1/4 mile then turned off the engine. when i turned on ignition, gear shift was locked. i unlocked manually and tried to start. nothing. engine will not crank. no lights on dash. i towed it my local mechanic who tried some electrical work. nothing so he thought a tranny failure put truck in failsafe. aamco could not start it so they could not diagnose. towed it to nissan. they wanted to change tranny for $8000 new or $5000 used. too much money for a vehicle w/ 110000 miles. i towed it out to another transmission place and they first thought it was the starter! they changed the starter, nothing doing. of course jump start is not working so its not the battery. im now stuck. previously truck had stalled once on the highway at about 60000 miles and would only drive on gear #1. took it to nissan dealership. they said they couldn't find any problem with tranny but they replaced the transmission fluid. later at about 101k the transmission started slipping and nissan found that the antifreeze had leaked into the transmission. they wanted to give me $2500 toward a $7300 repair. they also offered to give me employee pricing on a new frontier but i dont want another frontier, so i refused and instead took it to my mechanic. he put in a new radiator and flushed the transmission. earlier at about 46000 miles, the fuel gauge stopped working and the fuel sender was changed. nissan refused to help at that time but later initiated a recall and compensated me for the expense. its been all pain with this truck which i bought "new" from a dealer with only 300 miles on it. help. *tr

As i was parked at a service station, i put my truck into reverse and it was the same as neutral and never engaged. this is a very common, but not necessary, issue with the transmission on the nissan frontier. i almost blew up my engine last year when the radiator cracked and allowed transmission fluid to mix with the coolant and caused the temperature gauge to go way up. this mixture made its way to the transmission and has caused irreparable damage; undoubtedly, this is why i no longer have reverse. i replaced the radiator and flushed my transmission fluid three times last year and thought i may have fixed the problem. evidentially, the damage had already been done. this problem is very well known to nissan and, as a nissan frontier owner, i was never notified regarding this possible issue. i understand that nissan has agreed to settle with owners within a certain mileage range; however, my truck is only 5.5 years old and exceeds the mileage requirement because my occupation requires alot of highway time which has put alot of miles on it. i feel nissan needs to step up and take care of this problem with all owners of these vehicles before someone gets hurt or killed if it hasn't happened already. my truck is now rendered useless until i pay thousands of dollars to fix it. this should not be my problem at all!! *tr

At about 100,000 miles, i started noticing that on take-off and at about 40 mph, my frontier would struggle to takeoff or accelerate. when slowing down, if acceleration was needed, the rpms rev up, but the truck does not accelerate. at 40-45 mph transition, going uphill, the truck stutters like it doesn't know what gear to engage. i immediately looked online and found many complaints about the vehicle transmission having a slew of issues related to transmission fluid cooler leaks. i moved to drain the fluid so that i could inspect the color and composition. it was fine. i replaced the filter and fluid. let it break in for a bit and had same problems. i had 2 different lube shops replace the fluid and flush the transmission and the problems persist. i called up the dealer and they told me that a new transmission would cost 6800 + labor. he said it was very likely the fluid issue, but i was outside the warranty period. this is a design flaw that nissan knew about from the time they released these vehicles to the public. this is a safety hazard in the need of acceleration at a traffic light, train crossing and many others. i would like to request an investigation on the number of these vehicles being involved in accidents. my vehicle is a 2007 nissan frontier se, vin: [xxx]. my name is [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

My vehicle has the low tire air pressure sensor. all 4 of the tires leak because the valve stems are cracking internally. the valve stems are $100 each plus labor to install them. soft tires are unsafe and could blow out causing accidents and injury. these should be recalled. nissan says they won't help. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan frontier. the contact stated that while driving approximately 50 mph, the check engine warning light illuminated. the vehicle was taken to a private mechanic where it was diagnosed that the fuel gauge tank unit needed to be replaced. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the approximate failure and current mileage was 65,000. *tr

My fuel gauge is not working properly, which has caused the check engine light to stay on constantly. when i fill up with fuel, the fuel gauge will sometimes move up to full, but only after a few starts of the engine. however, it will fall back down to empty after only driving a few miles or so. i really never know how much fuel i have unless i go back to fill it up just to be safe. i have looked online today and found out that there is a massive and very widespread fuel system issue with this vehicle type. i notified nissan today and was told that there is not an open recall for this problem with my vehicle. how is that even possible, based on the number of incidents i have found from my research dealing with this particular issue. the nissan agent advised me to go to a nissan dealership garage and ask for a diagnostic check. she said to call her back or have a mechanic rep. call to advise what the diagnostic check revealed. she stated nissan may be able to help with some financial aide. i truly appreciate the gesture, but that does not fix the fact that this issue should be completely covered by a manufacturer recall. yesterday i ran out of gas on the expressway during heavy traffic. i was very fortunate to be able to coast two lanes over to the emergency lane. however, the portion i was in was very narrow and did not offer ample room to pour the gas in the tank that a friend brought me an hour after i ran out of gas. a police officer kindly stopped to assist with the very dangerous mission of trying to get the gas in the vehicle standing only inches from the traffic as it rushed by at very high speeds. to make a long story a little shorter, there was an incident involving two tractor trailers and two cars. fortunately, no one was seriously injured. including the officer, my friend, and myself, who were standing only feet from where the incident occurred. thank god! *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan frontier. the contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle would exhibit a loud whining sound. the vehicle was taken to the dealer and the technician diagnosed that the timing chain was defective and needed to be replaced. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the vin was not available. the failure mileage was 59,188 and the current mileage was 59,350. *tr

There is a known issue of the radiator leaking fluid into the transmission causing transmission failure. nissan was involved in a class action suit where the warranty was extended to 80,000 miles but i was 2,000 miles over, so instead of them fixing it for free, i would have to pay a $2,500 deductible. i do not have $2,500 to spend on something that is a known issue. please let me know if there is any recourse for this situation. thank you. *tr

I was merging onto highway interstate 85 in traffic that was flowing at speeds of approximately 75-80 mph, and the vehicle failed to shift out of third gear. this incident forced me to take immediately action and pull to the side of the road, which put my life in danger during rush hour traffic. i learned from the nissan dealership that the transmission in vehicles that were manufactured the same year, make and model, were defected but there was no recall. since that time, april 5, 2013 to be exact, the transmission in my vehicle has failed because of a manufacturers defect. something needs to be done about this hazardous threat to consumers before someone get seriously injured or killed. *tr

Transmission. we were passing a car when it started to come in our lane. i tried to accelerate out of its way. the transmission shuttered and would not accelerate. lucky for us the driver saw us at that last second and got back in his lane avoiding an accident. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan frontier. the contact stated that the radiator was cracked and allowed coolant to enter the transmission. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that the transmission and radiator would possibly require replacement but first, a diagnostic was required. the vehicle was not repaired. the approximate failure and current mileage was 101,000. *tr

After i filled up on 2/28/13, the gas gauge read empty and the check engine light came on. i looked up on line and this is a common problem with nissans of this mileage. the unit that controls this needs to be recalled. *tr

Truck started to shake when shifting into over-drive. took to dealership and found transmission fluid inside radiator. nissan has extended warranty up to 100k miles and no warranty over 100k (needs recall). nissan is aware of the issue that allows fluids to mix and create a premature failure of the transmission and radiator. dealer also stated that there is such high demand on the transmissions that they are on backorder for a month. *tr

The vehicle has the common problem of the radiator mixing engine coolant and transmission fluid causing the failure of the transmission. to me this is a safety issue. the dealers are of no help and neither is nissan. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan frontier. the contact stated that while driving approximately 5 mph in reverse, the transmission responded with extreme hesitation. the failure also occurred whenever the contact was driving on an incline. the vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer for diagnosis where they advised that the transmission severely vibrated when in reverse. in addition, the transmission fluid was burning abnormally. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the defect. the approximate failure mileage was 111,916.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan frontier. the contact stated that the fuel level gauge displayed incorrect fuel levels. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was contacted about the failure. the failure mileage was unavailable.

About 2 weeks ago i started to feel as if the truck was not shifting correctly, soon after that the check engine light came on and i brought it right in to our regular service station. a diagnostic check revealed code p0717 for a turbine revolution sensor and i was told to take it to the dealer. the nissan dealer did their own diagnostic (no test drive) and found it to be a bad value body, as well as bad timing chain and tensioners, and replacement of all 6 coil packs, along with a few other general findings gave me an estimate of nearly 5 thousand dollars. the 2 diagnostic checks have cost me close to $250. i was in shock and did not have the ability to pay for the repairs up front, so i took the truck to 2 other service stations, one being aamco who specializes in transmissions. none of the 3 other stations found any other issues aside from the transmission. aamco after a test drive and diagnostic check determined there was an issue but would need to remove the transmission to determine the extent of the problem. aamco found there to be water being pumped into the transmission, and also claimed it was the 3 problem of this type they had seen so far this month. apparently the radiator leaks water into the transmission. the fix is a rebuilt transmission and separate cooler for the transmission to assure this won't happen again. at a cost of 3200 to me! this particular aamco is across from the dealer and claims that have done work for the dealership to fix the same problem! i also received a letter back in oct. /nov. indicating a possible radiator problem and an offer of an extended warranty. nothing was mentioned of the damage that could occur to the transmission! i feel cheated, and in my research have found this to be a very common problem. nissan should stand by their product and do the right thing by their customers! *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan frontier. the contact stated that the vehicle made a wining noise while driving. the vehicle was taken to the dealer who inspected the vehicle and located the failure at the timing chain. the timing chain assembly was replaced. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the approximate failure and current mileage was 39,900. updated 3/5/13 *cn

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan frontier. the contact stated that while driving approximately 40 mph, the vehicle began jerking violently. additionally, the vehicle would not respond when the gear was shifted into reverse. the vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. the technician advised the contact that radiator coolant was leaking into the transmission and both the transmission and the radiator would need to be replaced. the vehicle was repaired however, the abs and traction control warning lights were illuminated. the contact stated the neither of the warning lights were illuminated prior to the repair. the dealer was contacted and stated that the abs module also required replacing. the contact was advised to disconnect the abs system until the repair could be performed. the vehicle was not repaired. the approximate failure mileage was 85,000.

Engine whine started before warranty expired but thought it was a power steering pump or pulley bearing. progressively got worse, so looked it up on youtube & engine whine videos are widespread - turns out this is a timing chain issue that nissan knows about, but declined to tell me before the warranty ran out. they have done all the maintenance so they surely heard this engine whine. they even have a bulletin out for the repair of this "defect". the timing chain tensioner shoe is too soft & is wearing out prematurely. this job will cost approximately $1200 & i am currently having the repairs made. i was in talks with nissan factory reps, & she will not help me any with these repairs, even though it was doing this before the warranty expired, i just didn't know what this noise was. there should be a factory defect recall so all the owners like me could get reimbursed, & so the people nearing warranty expiration could be forewarned to get the repairs done. this is the q40 v-6 engine. *tr

I filled my fuel tank with about 19 gallons. when i started the truck the fuel needle never moved. started to drive to work and the fuel level dropped to empty and the light turned on. after driving for 30 miles the service engine light came on. i have no idea why. *tr

While i have not yet had a failure, or crash i have been notified by nissan that my truck's transmission may fail suddenly making the vehicle inoperable. this is a concern as i occasionally use the vehicle for commuting to work on the interstate highway system and fear i would be subject to injury or death if i have a sudden failure and there is no place to pull safely off the road. i also use the truck to go deep into the maine wilderness to fish and hunt and fear if the transmission fails, i could be stranded dozens of miles from the nearest help, putting my health and safety at risk. *tr

Nissan frontier; truck pick up an vibration that turn into alot of jerking.t alk to the dealer about it,they said to check trans fluid to see if it had a strawberry color to it. if so the radiators was probably cracked and that coolant seep into the trans causing server trans failure. have no warrenty.computer in trans is damage. now valve body got to be replace with computer board along with all new clutches and radiator going to cost around 5 grand to fix. *tr

Nissan radiator/transmission cooler needs to be replaced at a cost of $3,000 for vehicles up to 100,000 after a class action suit was done. nissan is acknowledging the problem and i feel this should be cause of a recall and that nissan should pay the full cost to replace. this cost represent 1/2 of the kelly blue book value on the vehicle. the vehicle is non-operable. the cost also represents about 15% of what the vehicle was originally purchased for. after speaking with nissan consumers affairs, they say there is nothing else to but to contact you to try to change it to a full recall. *tr

Trouble light came on, "vehicle needs service soon". attempted to drive vehicle to garage and engine would not start. shop indicate that there was coolant in the transmission fluid and the transmission and engine control module fuses had blown. nissan dealer said that transmission, radiator, transmission and engine control modules needs to be replaced. he is unable to start the engine and indicates that there may be necessary to do other repairs. the estimated cost of repairs at this point is $8500. *tr

After filling up with fuel on 10/1/2012 my gas gauge went to empty and the service engine soon light came on. ever since the gauge would fluctuate up and down and the service engine light remains on. i see lots of post on-line about this faulty fuel sending unit on alot of different nissan vehicle models and years. how come there hasn't been a recall for this part? *tr

Husband traveling on northwest expressway in oklahoma city, ok. stopped at the light in midst of 6 lanes of five o'clock traffic. the vehicle quit. he could not re-start it or safely get out of the vehicle. he used his cell phone to call farmers' help point towing company. thinking it was the battery, we had it towed home. we replaced the battery with a new one and bought jumper cables. this did not fix it. we called our neighborhood mechanic and had it towed to their shop. he let us know it was the radiator assembly and that we would have to take it to a transmission shop. he gave my husband a fuse to get the vehicle to them without using another towing service. i called the nissan dealer where we bought the vehicle after seeing that this is a known issue to nissan (see nissanassist.com). they refused to fix the issue and said we had no warranty help because the mileage was over 100k. they told us to call the nissan consumer service and gave us their number. i called them and they could not help--even when i talked to the supervisor. i quoted nissan's words--asking if nissan did not stand behind the commitment on their site: "nissan is committed to providing an outstanding vehicle ownership experience for all our customers." she told me she is a contractor working for a company hired by nissan and did not know. of course, we did not take the vehicle back to nissan to be repaired, but took it to aamco transmission, who charged us $5,700.00 for the repairs and warranty on the work. with the battery, jumper cables, towing charges and the first mechanics' bill--we paid $6,340.00--having to borrow $6k to resolve this issue. by the time we are finished paying off this loan, the cost will be closer to $10,000.00. if anyone can do something about this--please do--this known problem by nissan, cost us close to a quarter of our yearly income. *tr

I was driving on the interstate in overdrive and the truck came out of gear and the engine revved high in rpms. i had to turn overdrive off to get the truck to drive in 4th gear. i took the truck to a transmission shop and they explained coolant from the radiator had gotten into the transmission. they exchange the fluid but explained the transmission may need to be rebuilt if a lot of damage has been done. i was able to drive it for a week more shifting normally. i came to a stop at a red light after a week and when pressing the gas the truck would barely creep forward through the intersection. when the truck was turned off it would not crank back up and it is currently in the transmission shop waiting for parts because of a shortage of needed parts due to the pervasiveness of this issue. *tr

As i am driving, the transmission will not shift at 40 mph. i pull over and find out that it will not go into reverse, either. i drive over to the nissan dealership and find out that the part of the radiator that connects to the tranny has cracked and dumped all of the radiator fluid into the tranny, killing it. i need a new radiator and transmission. nissan is covering the costs (for repairs but not alternate transportation for the week that it is taking to fix this) but upon returning home and looking online, i found out that nissan has known about this problem for about 5 years and instead of doing a recall (costing lots of money), they extended the warranty on the radiator assembly from 3 years/36,000 miles to 8 years/96,000 miles hoping that problems will occur after that time and then they are off the hook for repairs. how dangerous could this have been under different circumstances. i am angry and disgusted with the way nissan has handled a problem they know could have caused a serious safety risk. *tr

Service engine light came on. had it tested at auto store and was told it was bad fuel level sensor bank a. i contacted nissan consumer affairs and was told that it was not covered under warranty nor was it covered under any recall. *tr

This report is submitted with regard to a potential problem with this vehicle. nissan has sent out a notice that this vehicle has a manufacturing defect. the radiator has a weakness so that it may begin leaking internally, which will contaminate the transmission and bring failure of the vehicle to accelerate, or in the most serious state, failure to move in traffic. nissan has sent a flimsy warranty extension that is only effective should this catastrophe occur. i am now reluctant to drive said vehicle, fearing breakdown and possible fatality in a highway situation. nissan should be forced to issue a recall to repair this manufacturing defect before total breakdown occurs. at this point i have talked to a local nissan dealer, and they basically say their hands are tied to help the consumer, due to nissan corporate decisions. please help hundreds of thousands nissan owners (2005-2010 frontier, pathfinder, xterra) and mandate a recall to repair this potentially dangerous problem. *tr

On 4 to 5 times in a one month period, while turning right, my steering felt like it went completely out. it felt as if all power was gone and became very hard to turn. it has not done this in a while, but my steering wheel is very loose. while parked , i can shake my steering wheel side to side. i do not think this is normal. i called crown nissan and they do not have any issues with steering in my year truck. i think they are wrong and will follow up with this issue. *tr

This issue is my radiator and transmission contamination. first noticed heat didn't work. mechanic checked radiator,found leak. began installing new radiator and saw that coolant was already contaminating tranny. truck dead at dealership. called nissan and they created a case. denied. escalated case. denied. started new escalation today. i have lost my job because i cant get there!!! what's next my home???? paid outright for this truck brand new. drove all the way to maryland to get it. less than 5 yrs old!!! but because my mileage was over the 80,000 they wont help. this product already had the flawed components when i drove it off the lot brand new so wtf should mileage have to do with it??? all the faulty sensors were annoying enough but this type of potential for failure should demand total recall....instead they issue warranty extensions and mileage limitations. i was never notified as a registered nissan owner when this issue was supposedly sent out last fall. and even if i had been my mileage was already over. that should not have mattered as this issue is such a safety and monetary concern. luckily it didn't fail while i was driving home at 8pm doing 70mph or when i had my kids in it. all in one week i lost vehicle because of flawed product, my job because my flawed vehicle died and my reputation as a reliable and responsible employee. heartbroken. i want my money back!!!!!!!!!!! never will i buy another nissan. greedy & irresponsible company with no sense of commitment to their consumers. *tr

The fuel gauge indicated that the car had a quarter of a tank when the car stopped on the highway because it was out of fuel. then the gauge indicated empty when i was able to refuel the car. this was a recall in the 2006 and 2008 models. why is this not being recalled in the 2007 model. *tr

My gas gauge began giving bad reading after driving several miles. went to 1/2 tank and stayed there. this continued for several weeks. filled the gas tank. the next day the engine repair light came on while driving to work. checked the code and it was the fuel sending unit. reset and the light went out. unit worked fine. next fill up the light came on again and the fuel gauge. kept jumping around. not knowing the amount of gas and running out at speed would cause lose of steering and brake control. nissan recalled the 2006&2008 models to fix. i can't imagine that they did not use same unit in 2007 model.

The check engine light came on when the gas tank was under a 1/4 full. i filled the gas tank up and the check engine light stayed on and the fuel gauge read empty. when approximately the gas was down to 3/4 full the gas gauge began to work again. the check engine light stayed on. when i filed the gas tank the gas gauge showed empty. i had the check engine light checked out and it was identified as a faulty fuel sensor. i cleared the check engine light which stayed cleared until the next time the gas tank was filled and the issues came back no fuel gauge reading and check engine light. *tr

Many problems with my 2007 frontier. first my clutch went at about 65000 miles . have been driving stick all my life and never needed a clutch. the rear axel leaked and created a bad squeal and damaged my brake pads. my low tire pressure sensors went bad and my heater core went at 60000 miles. i am also getting an electrical smell inside the cabin. wow never had a vehicle have so much go wrong in less than 5 years. nissan dealer and nissan corporate both refused to accept responsibility of any defects. *tr

2007 nissan frontier. consumer writes in regards to defect in fuel level sending unit *tgw the consumer stated on june 30, 2012, the check engine light illuminated. the consumer took the vehicle to the dealer, where she was informed the fuel level sending unit needed to be replaced. at the time, they did research and she was informed the part had an extended warranty with an expiration date of 09/22/12 or 72,000 miles. the consumer stated she was not notified of an extended warranty. the consumer was informed the original owner's information was still in the database. nissan stated they were not going to replace the part, because the vehicle was over required mileage. *jb

Service engine soon light was on when i started my truck that day and the fuel gauge was malfunctioning. after doing a search on the internet, it sounds like it may be the fuel sending unit or fuel pump which is a known issue with this model. thanks. *tr

Known issues with faulty radiators is causing it to fail and mix antifreeze into the transmission causing the transmission to fail.. the result is a ~$9200 bill from your dealership for a new transmission and radiator.. nissan absolutely refused to take ownership of this issue making me the owner of my 4th nissan truck to pay.. *tr

On july 2011 had to pay for new transmission for my truck after the radiator leaked in to the transmission, talked with nissan and tried to get them to stand behind it and they said they would have if the truck was, in side the new warranty they had put out but i was at 91611. they know what is wrong and how to fix this. they have to put the transmission cooler on the out side of the radiator about $ 200.00 fix.this replace cost, me more than $ 6000.00 to get fixed. now at 97980 miles we are back at the shop having the same thing, done over again, this time they are covering after i had to have a out side tech come in and prove that this was happening again. the first said it had to be replaced and then they had another one check it and said i was hearing the tires and the transmission was good. i would not pick up my truck because the 12 month warranty was about to run out on july 26 2012 . after the out side tec checked it out and said the transmission had coolant mixed with it they ordered every thing new again...should not have had to pay for the first one.. *tr

Both left and right axles seals failed causing gear oil to saturate the rear disc brake pads, rotor and emergency brake shoes. extreme decreased braking, which could have led to an accident. this is a true safety problem, which seems to be quite common with the frontier and titan pick-ups. *js

After refueling the vehicle, i noticed that the fuel gauge was still indicating that it had only 1/4 tank of fuel. i drove about 2 miles and the "service engine soon" light came on. after arriving at home i shut off the vehicle, checked the fuel cap for tightness, and restarted. the fuel gauge dropped to empty, the low fuel light came on, and the ses light remained on. later that day i drove about 35 miles under the aforementioned conditions. upon stopping and restarting the vehicle, the fuel gauge went to full, but the ses light remained on. that is the situation as it stands now.i have not contacted nissan directly yet, but i have researched the situation, and found numerous reports online of the same problem, and of nissan's unwillingness to resolve the issue at no charge to the consumer.(it is apparently a defective fuel sending unit.) my reason for reporting this is twofold. 1) to make everyone aware of the issue, and 2) to express my concerns that a malfunctioning fuel gauge could cause a crash if the driver ran out of fuel while in motion, and had to make an emergency stop. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan frontier. the contact was driving 25 mph when the tailgate became detached from the hinges. the vehicle was taken to the dealer but was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 61,000.

Transmission failed while driving in very busy traffic. maximum 20 mph, while everybody else was driving 55+ mph. transmission failed without warning leaving my son and i scared to death- if i had been merging into interstate traffic we would have been run over, maybe even killed. nissan refuses to acknowledge issue with the radiator/transmission fluid cooling system. i hope nobody dies as a result of the defect or the situation it can put an unknowing driver in. *js

Service engine light came on for the first time since i bought the vehicle brand new. auto zone checked it out and stated it was a fuel sending unit failure. i did noticed the pass week it was having trouble reading how much gas i had left (dte) i researched and found it there was a recall on this particular issue for our vehicles. contact united nissan dealership and told me i was passed the 72,000 mile so it doesn't cover the recall? i don't understand how they would predict when it would fail? i did not receive a notice of this recall or i would have had it done weather i did have the problem or not. its a common problem for our vehicles so why put a mark on when it is covered? its not fair for those experience the problem after. contact nissan consumer usa and stated there was no recall for my vehicle " nissan frontier" which makes no sense to me. so no help there... ill never buy a nissan ever again very poor on assisting their customers. we need a class action lawsuit on these guys its a common problem fix it!!! *tr

At 7600 miles i hear a noise on the engine and check engine lights came on and gas gauge star reading empty went was full i took to the dealer they told me the noise was coming from some where in the engine they never told me was timing,chain,i took to a local repair shop and they found out that timing chain was the problem ,the check engine light at the dealer told me the was the that the reason for the gas tank read empty was t due a gas module. *tr

I was driving home on the expressway hwy 75 south downtown atlanta ga and all of a sudden my truck just stopped running. i manage to cost to the side of the expressway. after several attempts to restart the truck i called for help. had the truck town to a local shop only to find out that it ran out of gas. the culprit a faulty fuel gauge a known issue with the 2007 frontier models. i contacted nissan to have it replace but i was told that since i was over 72000 miles that i would have to replace it the cost to me. i will never buy another nissan as long as i live i almost got ran over trying to get the truck to the side of the roadway. my fuel gauge was reading 1/2 of tank of gas. this should be a safety recall. i know that it will not be considered one until someone is killed as a result of this issue and this is very sad especially since nissan has known about the issue since day one. *tr

My 2007 nissan frontier has approximately 52,000 miles. upon attempting to start the vehicle it would not start and i noticed that all the gauges on the instrument panel were all shaking. after jump starting the vehicle it started however i noticed the trip mileage was reset to "000.0" and the "service engine soon" light was on. after shutting the engine and attempting to restart the vehicle it would not restart. when i attempt to start i hear a click click sound and all gauges would shake. i charged the battery and the problem subsided for a few weeks however the same problem listed above began to re-occur. *tr

The radiator in the vehicle ruptured, allowing coolant into transmission. this led to loss of power, hard shifting, and slippage while accelerating. contacted nissan, they informed me warranty had been extended but i was 1,600 miles over their arbitrarily extended limit. they suggested i contact the dealer for assistance. the delaer repeated that it was outside of warranty period, and estimated repair costs at $7000. i took truck to local shop, who quoted $5500, and now find out that the transmission parts are on backorder and i will be without my work vehicle for about 1 month. nissan is clearly aware of this driveline failure issue, but they are attempting to push off the cost of their faulty parts onto the consumer, rather than remedy what is a costly and potentially very dangerous defect.

The transmission cooler located in the radiator failed and now radiator has transmission fluid in it and the transmission has water in it. both are ruined and dealer says it is $9000. apparently this is a known defect only covered up to 80000 miles and nissan needs to fix this. if it was a known issue, it could have been fixed for a few hundred bucks. thank you

My 2007 nissan frontier with 4.0 v-6 engine has 43,600 miles, and it making a knocking / banging noise, i contacted nissan north america to file a complaint because the vehicle only has 43,600 and had all routine maintenance as scheduled. they sent me a reply back stating "a review of our records indicates that the above-referenced vehicle is not currently involved in any recalls or service campaigns. in order to look into possible assistance, a recent diagnosis by a authorized nissan dealership is required. so i contacted my local dealership to have it diagnosed. and dropped off my frontier at my local dealer on monday evening (1/30/12). tuesday afternoon (1/31/12) the service manager called me and said that the knocking is from a lower piston rod, the timing chain and components are worn out, there are metal shavings in the top of the engine, and it is also blowing oil into the air intake. basically,the engine is completely shot!. the cost to replace the engine is $6,000 not including labor. he then went on to tell me,that he called nissan north america and informed them of what he found so far,and said that according to company policy,he needs the vehicle "a few more days" to further investigate if there is in fact a defect, because more information is necessary to determine if it is covered under warranty. it is obviously very upsetting that this vehicle only has 43,600 miles and the engine is shot,not to mention,now i am without a vehicle. since there are so many complaints and problems with this 4.0 v6 engine, there should be a recall to replace/repair the defective parts, or atleast be covered under my extended warranty at no cost to me. it is my opinion, not only is this a "mechanical defect" it is also a "safety issue", due to the fact, while driving on the hwy, the engine can fail, causing loss of control of the vehicle. *kb

After filling with fuel on 12/2/2011, the fuel gauge was hung at about 1/4 tank. i drove approximately 75 miles before the fuel gauge was registering near full. on 12/8/2011, i filled the tank with fuel, and upon starting the engine the fuel gauge read "empty" and the fuel light was on. i drove approximately 85 miles, but the fuel gauge remained on empty with the fuel light on. on 12/9/2011, i contacted nissan consumer affairs concerning the recall on this model of vehicle and i was told that my vin was not included in the recall. however, nissan did open a file number (7327001) and it is being forwarded to a regional specialist for review, but am told it is unlikely that the fuel sending unit will be covered. there is apparently a problem with the fuel sending unit, as nissan had extended the warranty on this component to 72,000 miles, but am told that unfortunately i have exceeded the warranty period. i was also told that i would have to take my vehicle to a nissan dealer for diagnosis, at my expense, and no certainty if nissan will stand good for the defective part. so the dealer can charge me approximately $120.00 to me what i already know? i would consider this a highway safety issue; not knowing if you are getting an accurate fuel quantity reading, and the possibility of being stranded. *tr

I am the original owner of a 2007 nissan frontier with 114,000 miles. i took my car into the local nissan dealership for service due to transmission issues. their assessment astounded me. they informed me that the transmission and radiator needed to be replaced due to a known manufacture defect in the radiator causing antifreeze to be spilled into the transmission. the quoted repair was over $6000.00. this is my only vehicle and i'm still making loan payments on it. i've treated this vehicle with kid gloves and followed the maintenance schedule religiously. this mechanical issue is due to something that was originally sold to me defective and nissan of north america is unwilling to cover the repairs. this is a widespread issue and has affected many nissan owners. there are even class action lawsuits against nissan to get reparations for repair bills already paid. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan frontier. the contact stated while driving 35 mph the vehicle stalled and the check engine lamp was illuminated. the vehicle was taken to a local mechanic who diagnosed that the fuel level sensor was defective and needed to be replaced. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the vin was not available. the failure mileage was 80,000 and the current mileage was 100,000.

2007 nissan frontier at 54k mile check engine light came on with the error code p0463 (fuel sending units failure). found out that this problem is also happened to the 06 and 08 nissan frontier that was on the safety recalled list. the check engine light light up on (p0463) and gas gauge indicator will drop to empty fuel even still at 1/4 full, due to the defective sending units nissan manufactured. i am hoping that nhtsa will includes the 2007 nissan frontier as a safety recall fix list. thank you. *kb

Driving on highway at speed, 11:30 pm truck stalled out, attempted neutral restart while maneuvering to the right was a very hazardous situation. truck fuel gauge was reading 1/4 tank. the check engine light was now on so i did not consider it had run out of fuel. i had it towed to mechanic, code read p0463 which is the fuel level sensor on the fuel pump located in the fuel tank. mechanic wants $700 to repair, the 2006 and 2008 versions of the vehicle have been recalled, but not the 2007, seems that nissan has used these defective parts in all 3 and probably more model years. i was placed in a situation that was extremely hazardous to me, my passengers, and those motorists on the road around me. since this event i have read website after website describing this product defect, it is the same in every case it is clear that nissan has placed inferior parts in this truck and they are failing putting their customers and those around us in harms way. do we need to wait for fatalities to recognize this is a manufactures defect. nissan needs to take responsibility for the 2007 and any other model years that have this part in them. *tr

Fuel gauge failed. slight smell of fuel in cabin. dealer stated that they would replace the fuel sending unit under an extended warranty. dealer stated that while troubleshooting the fuel sending unit they discovered that there was a problem with the fuel lines leading to the fuel tank. technician stated that there appeared to be damage to the fuel lines caused by an unknown animal chewing through the fuel line, requiring the replacement of the entire fuel tank. this sounded very improbable and i believe it has to be a result of the poor quality of the plastic fuel tanks used in this vehicle. *tr

The fuel line has rusted through and gas is leaking. nissan will not correct the problem under their 60 month/unlimited mileage corrosion/perforation warranty. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan frontier. the contact stated that while driver 45 mph, he applied the brakes and the pedal depressed to the floor. the vehicle crashed into a tree as a result. a police report was not filed, but the contact suffered minor injuries. the vehicle was towed to an independent repair shop, but the contact was not informed why the brakes failed. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and offered no assistance. the failure and current mileages were 66,000.

I pulled into the gas station and filled up like i normally do. when i started my engine, my gas gauge did not climb past the 1/4 mark. i turned my truck on and off 2 more times to see if this might fix the problem, it did not. as i drove home, the gauge climbed ever so slowly before stopping at 1/2 tank. this is when the check engine light came on. i got home and googled the problem and this seems to be a fairly common problem. what i don't understand is why the 06 and 08 models are recalled but not the 07. i refuse to take it to my local dealership because i have always had less then stellar service and just refuse to deal with them and be forced to overpay.

The rear axles on my 2007 nissan frontier began leaking grease at some point. the fluid leaked on the rear brakes, causing potential brake problems if and eventual failure if gone unnoticed. upon further research, there is a tsb for the problem as well as several other models affected, including the titan, and xterra. *tr

The fuel sending unit on my 2007 nissan frontier went bad at 74,000 miles. nissan has declined to repair it as it is out of the warranty period. however this is such a common and well documented problem, the 2007 frontiers should be included in the recall that is available for some of the '06 and '08 frontiers. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2007 nissan frontier. the contact stated the radiator was cracked causing the anti freeze to spill into the transmission which ruined the transmission. the dealer stated they had to replace the transmission for $7,000. there were no recalls or warranties related to the failure. the manufacturer was reviewing the case and will get notify the contact of the findings. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was 91,000.

I turned on the car, at which point the needle did not register the full tank. after driving a couple miles, the check engine light came on. i went directly to the dealer and was told that it was a fuel sending unit/sensor and that it was no longer covered after 30k miles. after returning home and doing research, i went online to x.nissanhelp.com after performing a search, i came across many others who have experienced the same problem. apparently it has something to do with the fuel sending unit. a similar problem was found on the 2000-2004 xterra models and a recall was performed when the vehicle would stop after not getting any fuel, posing a great danger. it seems that something in the unit is faulty and will corrode over time. there is a general consensus that everyone who is having the problem is experiencing the same thing after having the vehicle for over 2 yrs and with around 39k-49k. if this problem existed in previous models, and it was recalled, the 2005-2007 xterras, frontiers, and pathfinders should get this fixed at no charge to the customer!! why wait for accidents and possible deaths, especially since the problem lies in an integral part of the vehicle. cost of repair ranges from $300-600." *tr

Check engine light comes on with error code p0463. this is due to a faulty fuel level sensor. this has been a problem with nissan and the previous models with the same issue were recalled. this failure causes the vehicle to be out of compliance with texas laws and will not pass annual inspection without repair. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan frontier. the contact stated that when refueling the vehicle, the fuel level indicator would display the tank as empty. in addition, when the fuel tank was full, the fuel level indicator would only display one quarter a tank of fuel. the vehicle was taken to the dealer where the technician was working on diagnosing the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the approximate failure mileage was 115,000. the vin was not available.

Filled up gas tank gauge would not move then my service engine light came on. *tr

I have a 2007 nissan frontier. i ran out of gas despite my fuel gauge showing that i had a little less then 1/4 tank of gas left in the tank. i see that there was a recall for 2006 and 2008 vehicles but not the 2007. have there been any other complaints for this problem for 2007? my gas gauge takes a long time to get back up to full and my check engine light stays on. i make certain that the gas cap is on tight after each fill up. i was told that the fuel level sensor may be bad. i have not had the problem fixed yet so the part would be available after i have the problem fixed. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2007 nissan frontier. while driving approximately 45 mph, the contact stated that the tire pressure monitoring system alerted low pressure in the rear passenger tire. the vehicle was taken to the dealer where they replaced the tire pressure senor under the service warranty. recently, a similar failure occurred with the rear driver side tire. the vehicle had not been repaired. the failure mileage was approximately 33,000.

The fuel gauge malfunctioned it would indicate that it was empty eventhough the tank was full. i talked to service manager, he says that nissan would not cover repair because it was not a recall item. nissan did have a recall on the same item for the 2006 and 2008 models. they could not explain why the 2007 models were not included. *tr

On 01-13-2011 i was driving my 2007 nissan frontier pick up on pa sr 92s. between nicholson and tunkhannock abs and slip warning lights came on. i called my nissan dealer immediately, explained the problem and difficulties i had handling the vehicle on the snow covered road. i was told that earliest appointment i could get was 01-20-2011. on my way back, when i drove on another snowy road i applied 4x4 system but it failed to engage. now the abs, slip and 4x4 did not work and i had hard times to make it safely home. i called the dealer again a was again told that i could get it fixed on 01-20-2011. i decided to report this problem and i hope that your investigation of my complain will make driving, especially winter driving of nissan vehicles safer. *tr

I have ran out of gas in the middle of traffic on a busy highway almost causing an accident due to fuel gauge not reading fuel level. i was luck enough to be able to pull to the side of the road. this is on a nissan 2007 frontier se model. *ln

Frontier has developed a buzzing/whining sound that is a well documented and common timing chain problem this is not just my vehicle, but with most of nissan's models since 2005, which is when they redesigned and began using the 4.0l v6 engine in these vehicles. nissan recognizes the problem in tsb's ntb 07-42a, ntb09-128, and ntb07-042c, but refuses to issue a recall and if your warranty is up you are on the hook for the repair. ordinarily i would understand that, as all parts wear out, but in this case, the failure is common and prevalent in multiple nissan models from the same time period, suggesting an engineering design defect in the engine and should be recalled. frankly, if this was an immediate life safety issue, a recall would have been issued in light of the numerous failures and number of models involved with this same problem. *tr

Service engine soon (ses) light is on constantly. fuel system reads erratic levels - when it reaches approx 1/4 to 3/8 of a tank, the fuel gauge drops to the bottom and the light comes on, as though the tank were empty. the truck reports p0463 code. *tr

Fuel gauge problem and sevice engine soon light. *tr

Purchased new 2007 nissan frontier-v-6, long wheel-base truck. 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!!!

2007 nissan frontier has an error code of po463, fuel sending unit sensor is likely cause. gas gauge stuck at empty, currently under 35,000 miles. *tr

My ses (service engine soon) light has been on for weeks now, the fuel gauge has been completely erratic. i am really worried that i will run out of gas in the middle of nowhere, or run out of fuel and not know and get hit on the freeway! nissan has a service bulletin out about this very issue but still refuses to do a recall on what they admit is a bad sensor. i have had this diagnosed for free at aamco,(p0463 is the code) nissan refuses to accept this and wants me to pay them 100.00+ to let them diagnose what i already know! *tr

I have a 2007 nissan frontier, and the gas tank sensor failed like so many others from 2005 to 2010. i ran out of gas the first time and it stopped so suddenly i almost got rear ended. i called nissan and they said that my vin number doesn't fall in the recall list. i am on forums and everyone is having issues with this but they are only picking a few to fix. this is wrong. anyways now when i fill it up it goes to empty and the light comes on and the check engine light lights. then after 30 or so miles it ever so slowly starts to climb until it is full. then for no reason it will go empty again. it keeps going through this cycle. *tr

Fuel gauge don't work on 2007 nissan frontier. it is the sending unit. *tr

Airbag warning light flashing. passenger airbag system off. *tr

Excessive rust on oil pan bolts with rust spreading from bolts to oil pan. excessive corrosion (white, powdery looking coating) on undercarriage bolts. unexpected rust on hose clamp attaching filler tube to gas tank. 2007 nissan frontier, crew cab style, 4x4, se model. this vehicle was purchased new in virginia and driven in virginia. contacted dealer with photos of the rust and they inspected and claimed to have forwarded information to regional service director. after no action, called 1-800-nissan1 and they directed me to return to the dealer and assigned a case number. dealer supposedly documented the rust and again submitted to regional service director (9/6/2010) - but i have not received a promised followup phone call. two additional calls to 1-800-nissan1 (directed to phone box when i provided the case number) have not been returned. *tr

I am having an issue with the fuel gauge on my 2007 nissan frontier king cab. first off when my tank would get to just under a quarter my check engine light would come on and i would have to disconnect and reconnect the battery to make the light go away. now my gauge reads empty on a full tank of gas and the low fuel light and check engine light are on. this first happened right after filling my gas tank up all the way a few days ago. gauge is stuck a empty and lights will not go away. *tr

2007 nissan frontier fuel sensor gauge not working properly. vehicle gauge shows empty, check engine light comes on and low fuel light, all this with plenty of gas in tank.sometimes fuel gauge will show 3/4 full and after gauge gets around 1/2 full, the gauge will drop to empty. never sure how much fuel is in tank. would not want to run out of gas and cause a crash. nissan has recalls for the 2006 and 2008 frontier for the same issue. nissan offered me $250.00 towards the repairs at their dealership. i am not sure why the 2007 model's are not included in the recalls. nissan is obviously aware of other year vehicles with the same problem and do not want to fix their defect at no charge to the customer. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2007 nissan frontier. the contact stated that while driving 25 mph the fuel gauge displayed an inaccurate level amount of gasoline. the fuel gauge displayed empty while the fuel tank was full and displayed full when the fuel tank was empty. the contact stated that it was difficult to determine how much fuel was in the vehicle and caused the vehicle to stop running due to the failure. the contact stated that there was a related recall for the fuel level sensor for the 2006 and 2008 models but not the 2007. the manufacturer stated that since the vehicle was not a part of the recall they would not repair the vehicle at no charge. the contact stated that the manufacturer should extend the recall to include his year, make and model vehicle. the failure mileage was 76,000. updated 12/22/10*lj

Nissan frontier 2007, service bulletin notes defective fuel gauge sensor and this can give a false fuel level and cause breakdown on highway. sb # ntb07-069b and they will not honor this as a recall need. defective fuel gauge is a dangerous item when traveling on highways at night. please push nissan to recall / improve these units. *tr

Fuel level sensor. service engine soon light came on. the gas gauge stopped working and sometimes creeps up. not sure how much gas is in the truck. sometimes it is full and sometimes it goes to half and other times it just drops to empty. *tr

Filled up gas tank and gauge registered empty and low fuel light came on when car was started. fuel gauge has not worked properly since and the check engine light remains on. (fuel sender not workin properly). *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan frontier crew cab. while starting the vehicle he noticed that the fuel level gauge had failed. the contact had recently refueled the vehicle and the fuel level gauge dropped from full to empty and would occur whenever refueling the vehicle. on one occasion, the fuel level gauge read the tank as one-quarter full yet the vehicle stalled because the fuel tank was empty. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was 42,000 and the current mileage was 46,400.

First noticeable complaint is the automatic transmission that does not shift back down in lower gear when climbing a hill. it jerks and shakes at that moment.secondly, the tire pressure sensor does not go off after correcting the tire pressure and keeping it constant. were told the dealer will have to reset,which they did once and it happened again so for 2 years we have just lived with it, keeping check on tire pressure the old way. last but definitely not least for this is the cost factor involved, is the alignment cannot be done due to needing to purchase and have installed 4 camber kits! nissan should have done this already for a $25,000 vehicle!! oh and finally this just happened but the rear passenger power window switch went completely out! *tr

When my 2007 frontier reached a little over 50k miles, noticed service engine soon light coming on. stayed on, turned truck on and off, noticed last time that the gauges all shook a little before engine started, now when to start again to take another child to school and engine won't start at all, makes click click sound and all gauges shake, see many similar complaints, looks like this needs a recall!!!!!!!!!!! *tr

The fuel level sensor has failed in my 2007 nissan frontier. i have done a little research and found several others complaining about the same issue. i called my local nissan dealer and they said it was not covered under any warranty or recall. i was told that the replacement of this sensor will cost almost $500.00. please help investigate this issue. *tr

Fuel gauge goes to empty after a fill-up and is erratic afterwards. vehicle is 2007 nissan frontier. *tr

I own a 2007 nissan frontier se 4x4 crew cab pickup. i purchased the aforementioned vehicle new in 2007. recently the "service engine soon" warning light came on. shortly after the warning light came on i began to notice my fuel gauge needle dropping to empty or near empty when i knew i had at least 1/4 tank of gasoline. if i shut the engine off and started it back up the fuel gauge needle would indicate 1/4 tank, and then shortly afterward drop to empty or near empty. i did some research and found out that this problem seems to be very common and should warrant a recall. my vehicle has approximately 45,800 miles on it. in my opinion running out of fuel or being distracted by a malfunctioning fuel gauge could lead to an accident. i request that this problem is investigated and a recall is initiated immediately. thank you for reading this. *tr

On or about 7-15-10, i filled the fuel tank in my 2007 nissan frontier se crew cab to capacity. within seconds of starting and driving the vehicle afterwards, the "service engine" warning light came on and my fuel gauge indicator dropped to the half-full mark. it has been erratic since that event and has not properly indicated how much fuel remains in the tank. on 7-16-10, i took the vehicle to the dealer from which it was purchased. their service department diagnosed the problem and advised the vehicle needed a new fuel sending unit. they also advised that there was no recall on that part, although there was a recall on that part for the nissan titan. through research, i have discovered that nissan has had previous recalls on fuel sending units on other model years and vehicles, and many owners have posted the similar problem online, specifically regarding the fuel sending unit on the 2007 nissan frontier. nissan is at this time unwilling to repair the problem at their cost, which i find frustrating as it is an obvious part problem. my concern is that an inaccurate fuel level reading caused by this faulty unit could lead to a stalled vehicle in traffic, posing a considerable safety risk. *tr

Fuel gauge on the truck became inaccurate causing engine to unexpectedly stop running from lack of fuel. this created a dangerous condition in not being able to control the truck in high speed traffic. nissan dealer said the fuel sensor in the tank had failed and was not covered under manufacturer's warranty due to exceeding mileage and time warranty. *tr

Drove the truck with the low fuel warning light on for several miles. upon filling up the tank, the low fuel light remained on and needle showed empty. shortly afterward, the service engine light came on. mil code is p0463 - fuel level sensor problem. resetting the code works for a few days but then the mil light comes back on. the gas gauge is erratic, sometimes showing empty when it's not. so we have to track the approximate fuel remaining by using the trip odometer. *tr

I have a 2007 frontier and had a problem with the fuel gauge. i filled the truck and the gas gauge went to empty. after driving for 10-15 minutes it would float up to near the full mark, but then it would drop back down to half full. this failure caused the check engine light to come on and this in turn automatically failed my emissions test. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2007 nissan frontier. the check engine light illuminated when he drove the vehicle to a local mechanic. the diagnostic test indicated that the failure was caused by the fuel sending unit. the manufacturer advised the contact to have the dealer diagnose the failure. the dealers diagnostic test determined that the failure was caused by the fuel sending gauge. the manufacturer later stated that they would not offer any assistance with the repairs since the vin was not included in recall 10v074000 fuel system, other: storage: fuel gauge system. the failure and current mileages were 97,261.

Fuel gauge showed that i had a quarter tank but i ran out of gas. went to station and filled up and gauge still showed 1/4 tank. on 8/2, gauge finally reported that i had 3/4 tank of gas which was probably close to what was in my tank. in doing some research, it appears this is a common problem for nissan frontiers, but my year (2007) does not show up in the recall database. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan frontier. the contact stated the fuel sending unit failed and was causing the vehicle to read inaccurate fuel levels. the failure would occur whenever the contact was refueling the vehicle. the manufacturer advised the contact to have the dealer perform a diagnostic test at his expense and would not provide any further assistance. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was 55,000. updated 12/15/10. *lj the consumer stated the fuel gauge would read empty. updated 12/27/10

2007 nissan frontier automatic - the truck does not downshift automatically when slowing while climbing a slight hill. this began when the truck was new. the truck begins to jerk when slowing just as a manual trans vehicle jerks when driving too slow while in 4th gear. to force the trans to downshift i would press the accelerator pedal a little more. the dealer said it's normal but i have never experienced this event in any vehicle i've driven and does not seem normal to me. dealer "reprogrammed" transmission- problem still exists--but at different speeds and rpms. the fact there is a repair bulletin indicates nissan is trying to skirt around the problem by not replacing transmissions. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan frontier. while driving at approximately 45 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. the contact discovered that he had run out of gasoline fuel. the fuel level gauge displayed one-fourth of gasoline in the vehicle although there was none. the contact was able to add more fuel to the vehicle and proceed. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure and current mileages were 49,000.

2007 nissan frontier with 49k miles gas gauge not working properly on and off. service engine soon light keeps going on and off at same time. *tr

The gas gauge gives a false reading and is unreliable. it has been diagnosed by nissan as a defect with the fuel level sensor. this is the exact same problem that occurs with the nissan pathfinders. the frontier is a pathfinder with a truck body. yet nissan has only recalled the pathfinders. the recall needs to be extended to cover the frontiers as well. *tr

I had 1/4 of a tank of gas and went to fill up. after filling up my gas tank, i turned on the car, at which point the needle did not register the full tank. after driving a couple miles, the check engine light came on. i went directly to the dealer and was told that it was a fuel sending unit/sensor and that it was no longer covered after 30k miles. after returning home and doing research, i went online to x.nissanhelp.com after performing a search, i came across many others who have experienced the same problem. apparently it has something to do with the fuel sending unit. a similar problem was found on the 2000-2004 xterra models and a recall was performed when the vehicle would stop after not getting any fuel, posing a great danger. it seems that something in the unit is faulty and will corrode over time. there is a general consensus that everyone who is having the problem is experiencing the same thing after having the vehicle for over 2 yrs and with around 39k-49k. if this problem existed in previous models, and it was recalled, the 2005-2007 xterras, frontiers, and pathfinders should get this fixed at no charge to the customer!! why wait for accidents and possible deaths, especially since the problem lies in an integral part of the vehicle. cost of repair ranges from $300-600." *tr

The fuel level sending unit in my 2007 nissan frontier shorted out on june 22, 2010. i brought the vehicle to my dealer on june 24, 2010. the dealer informed me that the although nissan has recalled this part on some vehicles, that my vehicle is not covered by the recall. this is a known defect which resulted in the recall of 2006 and 2008 models of my vehicle model as well as other models of nissan vehicles using the same part for 2006 to 2008, inclusive (armada and titan models). i am astounded that such a recall would exclude vehicles with same part and same history of part failure. this is especially surprising since the recall was issued for other models of my year, just not my model. if the part is failing and is a enough of a safety issue to issue a recall for other models in the same year and for the same model in other years, why would it not be considered enough of a safety issue for my model year? does the nhtsa plan to initiate an investigation of why nissan is excluding my model in the recall for the fuel level sender unit? *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2007 nissan frontier. the contact stated that in early may 2010, the contact filled the vehicle with fuel but the check engine light illuminated and the fuel gauge indicated that the fuel tank was only a quarter to half full. the vehicle was taken to an authorized dealership where the contact was informed that the fuel sending unit was defective. the dealer stated that the parts were unavailable for the repair and the vehicle was not included in any related recalls. the contact called the manufacturer who offered no assistance. the vehicle had not been repaired at the time of the complaint. the failure mileage was approximately 38,500. the current mileage was approximately 40,000. updated 07/29/10 *bf updated 07/30/10*jb

Tl*the contact owns a 2007 nissan frontier. the contact stated that whenever the vehicle was fueled, the gas gauge would display an inaccurate reading. the gauge would read empty for about 50 miles and then read full. the vehicle had not been inspected but the dealer informed the contact that the fuel sending unit most likely needed to be replaced. the failure continued but had not been repaired at the time of the complaint. the failure mileage was approximately 36,000. the current mileage was 70,289.

2007 nissan frontier nismo faulty gas sensor in tank. known recall on 2006 and 2008 models. shows an empty tank when full and empty. unless you are keeping up with mileage, you don't know if you will run out of gas on the freeway. this can cause accidents. nissan is aware of the same issue in 2006 and 2008 frontier trucks. for some reason, they will not assume responsibility for the 2007 models. i talked with the dealer and they are aware of the issue but cannot take care of the problem. it will cost me over $500 to replace this. my check engine light stays on, can't be reset until this is fixed. *tr

When accelerator was pressed down there was an abnormal acceleration of vehicle while in slow traffic. it raced for a second then returned to normal. this has happened four times in the last 3 months. i checked to see if the floor mat had possibly caused this but the floor mat was under the gas peddle in the normal position. *tr

I have a nissan 2007 frontier that i bought new back in nov. 2007. this vehicle has a bad gas pump sensor that make a warning on the panel( engine problem ) because of this problem i am unable to read how much gas is left. it always mark the tank as empty. when i took it to the dealer, they stated that because my car vin# was not on the recalls i could do anything. i am unable to travel interstate or long distances. *tr

The fuel gauge acts erratically, i can fill the gas tank up with fuel but the needle still shows that i'm empty. i'm sure it's the fuel sending unit. the vehicle has 44000 miles on it now, and around 38,000 miles when this occurred. the check engine light is on because of this defect. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2007 nissan frontier. the contact stated that while driving at approximately 35 mph, the fuel light illuminated, indicating that there was no fuel in the vehicle. even when the fuel tank was full, the light would illuminate. the vehicle had not been inspected at the time of the complaint. when the contact called the manufacturer, he was informed that the vehicle was not included in recall 10v075000 (fuel system, gasoline: storage: auxiliary tank) and all repair expenses would have to be paid out of pocket. the failure mileage was approximately 49,000. the current mileage was approximately 50,000.

After filling up the gas tank, the gas gauge does not work. it will either read empty or have an erratic reading. nissan had a recall for these units for 2006, 2008, and 2009, but not 2007, which is the year of my nissan frontier. my unit failed just like the recalled units, but nissan will not replace this obviously defective unit. the dealer will not replace the unit because it is 3 months out of warranty. *tr

I have a 2007 nissan frontier xe. i had about 1/4 tank of gas when i decided to fill it up. started my truck and my gas gauge read 0 and my check engine light came on. after driving a while, my gas gauge started to read a little level. as i drove the level would come up slowly until it finally read a full tank. after this happened to me, i heard about a recall nissan was issuing on vehicles with the same symptoms, all due to a faulty fuel level sending unit called nissan to see if my truck qualified for the recall fuel level sending unit and it didn't. nissan customer service told me to take the truck into the dealership to get a diagnostic test run to check and see if indeed the fuel level sending unit need repair. the test the dealership ran did indeed confirm that the fuel level sending unit was faulty. nissan told me they would log my complaint but would not pay to fix it because my truck wasn't cover under the recall even though my truck has the same problem as the other recalled vehicles. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2007 nissan frontier. the tires on the vehicle were manufactured by cooper tire & rubber co. and the tire line was lexington es-335 (kenda h rated), size 215/60r15. while the vehicle was parked, the front passenger side tire blew out. two weeks later the rear driver side, tire blew out. the vehicle was not taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. both of the tires were taken to an independent dealer which was where they were purchased. the independent dealer replaced both of the tires with the same brand and stated that he could not replace the tires with a different brand or tire line. the weather was not a factor. the manufacturer told an independent dealer that the tires were defective. the vin was not provided by the contact. the approximate current and failure mileages were 35,000.

The fuel gauge on my 2007 nissan frontier has also stopped working correctly. as with others that have reported this issue, upon filling the tank the gauge will read empty and then during the drive it acts erratically and sometimes it will read correctly one minute and the next thing you know it's on empty again. its very frustrating to know this was a recall in other years yet nissan won't man up and fix these issues. i won't buy another nissan because of the way they are handling this or should i say not handling this. it's a safety issue if you run out of gas when your gauge is obviously faulty and telling you there's fuel in the vehicle. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan frontier. the contact stated while traveling at speeds of 45 mph, the vehicle stalled. the fuel gauge sensor failed causing inaccurate fuel level readings. the contact was unaware that there was no fuel in the vehicle. the dealer advised replacing the fuel level sensor. the manufacturer advised there were no recalls for the failure and would not provide any assistance. any repairs made to the vehicle would be at the owner¿s expense. the failure mileage was 75,000.

Fuel sending unit failed 2 55,000 miles. *tr

After filling gas tank: the fuel gauge immediately registered "empty" and continued reading same. current to date, no changes in reading. its' consequences are on-going that a serious incident could occur on the highway by running out of fuel, loosing control of the vehicle. this is a current failure, and has not had repaired or replaced. should be a manufacturer's recall for repairs. faulty, and could be unsafe. *tr

I own a 2007 nissan frontier le. the fuel gauge sticks at 1/4 tank when the fuel level is low even though the tank is nearly empty. when refilling the tank the gauge stayed at 1/4 tank for a couple of miles before it came back to full. as of the last fill up the gauge is still reading 1/4. also the service engine soon light is lit. i have read about recall involving the fuel gauge for 2006 and 2008 frontiers and contacted nissan consumer affairs. they informed me that my 2007 is not part of the recall. i've read numerous accounts of 2007 models having the same problems as the 2006 and 2008 models so i am very displeased that nissan is not including 2007s. it seems to be such a common problem that i should not have to pay to have it fixed. there is clearly a fault in the part or design. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan frontier. the contact stated that the fuel gauge would read inaccurate fuel levels. the failure would occur intermittently. the dealer diagnosed the failure as a defective fuel tank cap and replaced it accordingly but the failure persisted. although there was a recall for the failure (nhtsa campaign id number 10v075000- fuel system, gasoline: storage: auxiliary tank) the vin was not included. the manufacturer offered to reduce the repair costs. the vehicle had not been repaired when the complaint was filed. the failure mileage was 90,000 and the current mileage was 129,000.

I own a 2007 nissan frontier xe pick up. after filling up with gas on 2/28/2010 i noticed that my fuel gauge did not move to the full mark. the fuel gauge eventually (after about 30 minutes of driving) began to move to about the 3/4 full mark. my wife took the vehicle into the dealer on 3/1/2010 for a strange engine noise and to determine the problem with the fuel gauge. the service manager from the dealer informed me that there was a problem with the fuel gauge sending unit. i authorized the dealer to complete the repair,(3/3/2010) the cost was $474.38. the next day a friend called to tell me that they heard of a nhtsa recall on certain nissan models regarding the fuel gauge malfunctioning. i consulted your website and in reading the summary of the recall discovered that it was very similar if not exact to the symptoms my vehicle had demonstrated. i called nissan and furnished my vin fully expecting my vehicle to be included in the recall. unfortunately nissan insisted my vin was not covered in the recall. i appealed within their company asking them to consider covering the cost of the repair since the defect so closely mirrored the recall even though my vin was technically excluded from the recall. they refused to offer any assistance towards my repair costs. i realize that i am asking a large company to show integrity since they are secure that my vin is excluded, but i thought they would honor my request given the nature of my repair and the recall. is there anything nhtsa can do to assist me in this? it seems a shame that even though my vehicle demonstrated nearly exact symptoms of the recall, they can deny responsibility because for whatever reason my vin is not included in the recall at this time. *tr

I own a 2007 nissan frontier xe and my fuel sending unit is going bad resulting in me running out of fuel on us i35 with a near rear ending. there are many recalls for this vehicle but mine does not apply for some reason.

Fuel sensing unit on my '07 frontier went out. though i'm reading many reports now of fuel gauges that don't rise to "full" at fill-up, mine was the opposite. after a few episodes of "check engine" light coming on, then clearing itself, i was heading down highway in the center lane during rush hour. though my gauge said 1/4 tank,in fact i was out of gas, lost power, and had to coast as i made my way in heavy traffic over to the shoulder. it wouldn't start til a buddy brought a can of gas, then it started right up. dealership diagnosed it as a toasted fsu, but because the truck was just out of warranty, i had to shell out $407.00 bucks to get it replaced. this issue is more than an inconvenience and an unnecessary expense...it's downright dangerous for someone caught in a situation when the fsu fails, and they can't maneuver out of a situation because of the loss of power. in my opinion, this failure, which i'm now learning is quite common, demands a recall. and if a recall is issued, how about a reimbursement for those of us who have already had to deal with this? *tr

Yesterday morning the fuel gauge in my 2007 nissan frontier 4 x 4 (approximately 46,000 miles) appeared to work normally when it showed perhaps 30 miles left to drive before empty. it took almost 20 gallons to fill it up. after filling up fully, the fuel gauge showed about a quarter of a tank and the "service engine soon" light came on. today the fuel gauge shows about 5/8ths of a tank left, with my having driven about 10 miles since filling up. it seems the 2007 nissan frontiers have the same problem as the 2006 and 2008 models that are being recalled. unless nissan changed parts or design in 2007, it makes no sense why the fuel gauge problem of 2006 should have skipped 2007 and reappeared in 2008! (with regard to my truck, nothing has been done to correct the fuel gauge failure. the problem looks to be persistent, and the safety issue of running out of gas in traffic is the same as for the to-be-recalled 2006 and 2008 models). *tr

I have a 2007 nissan frontier pick up truck that i bought new.it has approximately 57k miles on it. about 6 months ago, the fuel sending gauge began malfunctioning. after a fuel fill up it would register full however after a few minutes it would drop to the empty position and the service engine light would come on ( it is still on now). i took it to the dealer and he informed me that it would cost $650 to repair. since it was not covered under warranty and i didn't have the money to pay for it, i didn't have it repaired. i googled some information regarding the nissan fuel sending unit to see if i could make the repair myself and found that many other owners of nissan products have had this same problem. i'm more than a little frustrated that the dealer never mentioned this as a problem. i have a daughter who uses this truck at james madison university. i've told her to check the tripometer etc but i'm afraid that she will forget and at some point run out of gas. this presents a major concern for my wife and me. *tr

2007 nissan frontier with 55,000 miles developed "service engine soon" light when filled up with gasoline. code shown when read was "fuel sending unit high output". after research with several nissan dealers, an approximate repair cost of $600 was given, including a $100 diagnostic fee for reading the codes. i have been running vehicle without a properly operating fuel gauge for approximately 5,000 miles since, due to high cost of repair not available at this time. this is a risk since the fuel gauge drops to empty once tank is below half full. this can result in loss of power components upon vehicle ceasing to operate once out of fuel. this is a recurring defect in similar and past model years that the manufacturer is choosing to ignore once out of warranty. *tr

I have a 2007 nissan frontier xe, automatic. i noticed my tires were starting to wear on the inside. at 21,000 miles i did not want to be replacing my tires too soon. took to sears for a front end alignment and tire rotation. the toe in was way out and so was the camber. the toe in was adjusted, but the camber could not be adjusted. the reason: no camber adjustment was available. i went to the dealer and they said it does not come with it, that i would have to buy the camber kit. this cost me $82.00. therefore i have to take it back to sears to have it installed. luckily i know the manager and technician. they will do the realigned no charge, but the camber kit installation will cost me $120.00.... why would the manufacturer not ensure that this adjustment was installed on all vehicles. it sounds like a money maker to me. *tr

I have a nissan frontier 2007, its only 2 years old and its having a problem with the fuel sending unit which costs 300-600 dollars to replace, but many others are having the same problem, i went to: http://x.nissanhelp.com/forums/xterra/4151-fuel-gauge-problem-service-engine-soon-light.html and it shows that im not the only one. nissan should have a recall because alot of other cars have the same issue. it could also prove to be dangerous because the fuel gauge does not work and the vehicle might run out of gas while moving at high speeds. *tr

At about 41,000 miles, just outside of warranty, fuel gauge stopped working after i filled gas tank up. it will occasionally work now but not all the way. now i can not trust the fuel gauge. nissan shop employees said this is a common problem. it is a fuel gauge sensor and will cost over 500 dollars to repair. i have found numerous complaints about this on the internet. this is a major safety issue. if i was traveling with my family and ran out gas at night on the highway, anything could happen before i got help. *tr

Model year 2007 make nissan model frontier component* fuel gage system the fuel sending unit has quit working which causes the fuel gauge to give false readings. now the vehicle is out of warranty and the unit is not working again. after talking with several owners of the same vehicle i found out we are all having the same problem, going through multiple units. nissan does seem to be fixing the problem but, just covering it up. after talking with the dealership they do not want to try to cover it, they want me to pay $400 for parts and labor which i am not going to do. besides the fact that $100 for parts and $300 for labor is outrageous i am not going to replace this part just have it fail again. this part should be on a recall because it is clearly defective and not a part that should have to be replaced 2, 3, or 4 times or even at 10000 miles. now my problem is the truck seems to be using more gas because of this. *tr

I have a 2007 nissan frontier with 41000 miles on it. at 39000 miles the fuel gauge started malfunctioning and the check engine light came on. when i fill up with gasoline, the fuel gauge remains at empty with the empty gas tank light on. occasionally the gauge kicks up but dies down again. on 9/9/09 i took the car to the nissan dealership and they diagnosed the problem as fuel gauge sensor needs replacement. they wanted over $500 fix the problem. i have seen a lot of complains on the internet about this and so i called nissan consumer affairs and they promised to look into a "goodwill" repair of the problem. however they called me today to say they will not pay for the part to be replaced. this problem, i never know how much fuel i have in the tank and i just keep filling it up every couple of days. i am afraid the gasoline will ran out when on the roadside and put me and my family in danger of an accident or burglary or worse. *tr

I filled up my tank from empty and the fuel guage continued to read as empty. the next day it read as half full even though it was still full. now it reads empty again dispite still being full and the service engine soon light is now on. *tr

2007 nissan frontier with 45,000 miles developed "service engine soon" light when filled up with gasoline. code shown when read was "fuel sending unit high output". after research with several nissan dealers, an approximate repair cost of $600 was given, including a $100 diagnostic fee for reading the codes. i have been running vehicle without a properly operating fuel gauge for approximately 5,000 miles since, due to high cost of repair not available at this time. this is a risk since the fuel gauge drops to empty once tank is below half full. this can result in loss of power components upon vehicle ceasing to operate once out of fuel. this is a recurring defect in similar and past model years that the manufacturer is choosing to ignore once out of warranty. *tr

Fuel sensor problem 2007 frontier -47,000 mile. after filling the tank, the fuel gauge drops to empty, the low fuel warning light comes on, and service engine soon light comes on. this is a common recurring problem with nissan models and because it is not a true safety issue, nissan does not feel the necessity to issue a recall. *tr

2007 nissan frontier, fuel gauge was not reporting full tank after fill up; dealership diagnosed faulty fuel level sensor and replaced as a warranty item. *tr

I have a 2007 frontier king cab nismo with 56,000 miles on it. put fuel in it today and the fuel gauge will not rise above half full. then the check engine soon light came on. a few miles later the gauge plunged to empty with the low fuel light on. on my return trip the gauge moved up to half with the service engine soon light on. it appears from my research that the fuel sending unit is bad and that numerous owners are experiencing this same expensive issue. apparently this can cause the fuel to stop being sent and potentially lead to a serious accident. my call to the deal will be tomorrow am. this should be a recall issue as xterra's were recalled for this same issue in prior model years. just two weeks ago i had a abs sensor replaced at $400. the rear end was dropped at two weeks old to fix another sensor and on and on. this truck has not been reliable and i would not recommend any nissan product at this point! it does not go more than 2 months without something going wrong with it. help! *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2007 nissan frontier. the contact stated that all nissan frontiers need to be recalled regarding the air bags and salt issues. the recall only applied to vehicles registered in cold states. the contact lives in tucson, az at 2,000 ft. elevation. he owns a winter cabin at 9,000 ft. and stated that he would experience the same issues as someone who resides in a cold state. his vin was excluded from nhtsa campaign id number 08v690000 (air bags:frontal). the failure and current mileages were 27,050.

I just bought my 2007 nissan frontier le with 60,000 miles. while driving it home i noticed that the fuel gauge was not going all the way up even though i had just filled the tank completely. then the gauge just dropped all the way to empty and the empty light came on along with the "service engine soon" light and the dte (distance to empty) light started to flash. i have not yet had this problem repaired but will within the next week. *tr

2007 nissan frontier automatic crewcab (21,000 miles) - the truck does not downshift automatically when slowing while climbing a slight hill. this began when the truck was new. the truck begins to jerk when slowing just as a manual trans vehicle jerks when driving too slow while in 4th gear. to force the trans to downshift i would press the accelerator pedal a little more. the dealer said it's normal but i have never experienced this event in any vehicle i've driven and does not seem normal to me. *tr

Fuel sensor or sending unit is bad on a 07' frontier. fuel gauge drops to empty at 1/4 tank, and also does the same after fill up. takes a while to come back up to full reading. nissan wants me to pay 600.00 for a repair when this is apparently a issue on all of their vehicles. they need to issuer a recall. *tr

I filled up my tank and after setting for a minute idling i noticed my gas gauge was below empty and the distance to empty light was on and reading -----. my original thought was that i didn't tighten my gas cap enough, but i always do. a minute later the service engine soon light comes on. i have a 2007 frontier crew cab nismo with 67,000 miles. while driving home the gas gauge slowly worked its way up to just below full and the ses light is still on. i have not driven very much more to see if the gas gauge works properly. i have been checking through my extended warranty, which extends out to 72 months or 100,000 and it does show that the gas sending unit is covered. after visiting the following forum: http://x.nissanhelp.com/forums/xterra/4151-fuel-gauge-problem-service-engine-soon-light.html, i noticed many other people with 2005-2007 nissan frontier, xterra and pathfinders are having this same issue and the dealers are charging 400-700 dollars to fix. many of these people are out of their warranty period and have to pay out of pocket. my warranty requires me to pay a 100 dollar deductible. sounds like this fuel sending unit deserves a recall. *tr

Service engine soon light came on at ~55000 miles. when i filled up my gas tank the level did not register correctly and the ses light came on. will go off between 3/4 and 1/4 tank, but comes back on each fill up. found out that this is a common problem on the nissan frontier. mine is a 2007 model. *tr
