Joseph of Wilmington , DE July 2, 2009

I have a Frontier truck 2005 that has been in to the Nissan dealership for a transmission problem. Initially they stated that "I was hard on the truck" its a truck, so to make the bottom line seem like my fault. Then they start to tell me of the 8500.00 in repairs. There is a problem with the radiator, there is a problem with the catalytic converter, there is a problem with some pump, and the transmission is shot, blah, blah, blah.

After research I find out that what this all boils down to is that the defective radiator caused the fluids to mix and ended up in the transmission. I HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS. It is a defeat that they won't own up to and offer any help with a repair. So I owe 5,000 on a truck and need to put 8,500 into repairs. I am fed up with Nissan and the attitude that it is all my fault. I couldn't do this if I tried. I was at a junk dealer and he mentioned that this was a horrible year for the transmissions. If he knew this then Nissan most likely did.

I'm a disappointed 2006 Nissan Frontier owner. I have an unresolved structure problem to my truck and received minimal service regarding this issue. I have made multiple complaints about a defective steel frame on the underside of the truck bed and the problem still exsists.

It all started several months after the purchase. I've complained about a noise coming from the back end of the new Nissan Frontier. I've made several complaints about it to Team Nissan in Manchester NH. I was told every vehicle makes noises. After several complaints and being ignored by Team Nissan, I went to a local mechanic noticed the steel underside to the truck bed was cracked. I went to Team Nissan in January, 2008 to have them fix the problem. They welded a piece of metal where the defective steel was and replaced the mounting hardware (two different service dates). Several months later, the truck bed was still making noises, but I tried to ignored the problem because I didn't want to go back to Team Nissan and deal with their poor service.

By March of 2009, I asked Peter's of Nissan to take a look to see if the frame was making the reoccurring noise. They said, they couldn't find anything wrong with it. In April of 2009, the frame actually snapped and the mounting hardware was no longer securing the steel frame. I brought this concern back to Nissan USA (never returned my calls), and Peter's of Nashua, NH. Peter's of Nissan informs me this problem is NOT covered under warranty. How can a defect in the frame of a truck be the responsibility of the owner, especially when I haven't misused the truck!

I wish Nissan USA would have the decency to call me back.

Gary of Hauula, HI June 9, 2009

I purchased a 2005 Nissan Frontier Crewcab brand new along with the best warranty they had to offer. Recently I began to experience problems with either the transmission or acceleration systems. While either in the stopped position or slowing down the truck's engine would rev very high and lunge forward. I would have to step on the brakes very hard to stop it before almost crashing into the other vehicle in front of me.

Twice I took my truck into the King Windward Nissan to check on this problem but was told after they did whatever checks they said they did that nothing was wrong with my truck. I do not know if they did any intricate diagnostic computer checks of the transmission or accelerator systems or sensors. The Service Mgr., Frank, took me on a road test with him but could not recreate the problem that I described. He told me afterwards that he could not find anything wrong with the truck. At that time I trusted his inspection but knew what had occured with my truck was real and could be a problem later on. I told this to Frank the service mgr. before I left the Nissan dealership.

Well, two and a half months later as I was preparing to stop as I turned into a local driveway restaurant the same experience occured. The engine began to rev very high and the truck started to lunge forward very hard. I tried with all my might to stop it but it kept surging and lunging forward and I was unable to stop it quick enough before it collided into a pillar. As it bounced off the pillar it began to do the same thing, surge and lunge forward again.

Fortunately I was able to stop it this time and get it out of gear. It was just lucky that nobody had walked in front of my truck or else it could have been a very ugly situation. I was injuried slightly because of this malfunction/defect with this truck. It was also fortunate that I did not get into a more serious accident while driving on the road after being told that nothing was wrong with my truck by the local Nissan dealer and their agent mechanics the last two service appointments to have this problem looked into.

Now I am having to deal with Nissan North America while my truck sits in the dealer's lot waiting for their decision as to what they are going to do. The incident occured on May 13, 2009 and I have still not heard their decision as to whether they are going to fix the damages to my truck, the pillar at the restaurant or fixing the problem with my truck. I am afraid to drive my truck anymore and have been put under undue stress because of this product defect that could have been very serious or maybe fatal had another episode that I described occurred again.

I was given a small Nissan Sentra for a loaner but its not the same as my truck. Nissan sent a Dealer Technkcal Specialist to check the truck and he took photos, checked over the service history, etc. but how neutral will he be in his reporting back to Nissan. Afterall, he works for Nissan. I had three estimates done averaging around 2,000 not counting on any underlying damages after the bumper, etc are removed.

Dawn of westminster, MD June 4, 2009

Want tpo update on our 2005 Nissan Fronteir with the defective radiator that caused the fluids to mix in transmission causing the 7,000 in repairs that good 'ole Nissan and Len Stoler in Westminster maryland REFUSE to fix. Today is June 4th, 2009. I have called all week and left messages for ERIN (Nissan "specialist"). She has not returned one call. Nissan is Owings Mills, Md ( where Nissan told us to tow the P.O.S. to) called this morning and said we had to get the truck off their lot because Nisasan is refusing to pay for the repairs or they will start to charge storage fees.

The truck has to be towed everywhere and we cant fix it. We donot have 7000. We have had this for only 11 months and still owe a major amount of money. The 347.00 payment is due the 10th. I am SO frustrated. I put a call into the news and looks like they will investigate the case. who knows. No wonder the car industry is like it is. BUY AMERICAN. 22,000 AND 25,000 MILES.

Bobbie of Mountain View, CA June 18, 2009

2005 Nissan Frontier Nismo Crew Cab PU Truck-- paint is peeling off fenders. Clearly, the painting was not done properly. I plan to take it to the dealer and discuss it, but see others complaining of the same thing, so it seems that Nissan has a paint problem.

robert of mansfield, TX June 6, 2009

I have a 2005 frontier that has had several recent problems starting with both of the cataliac converters.the power supply system and the timing chain noise.the noise was reported to the dealership Don Davis in Arlington texas when it wasin for warranty of one of the converters and they simply did nothing about the noise.now the second converter was changed under warranty the dealership tells me the timing chain is an issue but the truck is 1600 miles over the warranty.

I went through all the red tape with Nissan and even provided them with service records but it was simply denied because I DIDENT HAVE ALL MY SERVICE DONE AT THEIR DEALERSHIP.thay made me wait 3 weeks for the denial phone call.I have purchased 4 nissans and currently have an 07 pathfinder and an 08 titan so i am sure i will get to deal with this "wonderful"company again.

I am still trying different avenues to resolve this isue throught the Better Business. NISSAN---Do the right thing and stand behind your product.

Grant of Eastman, GA May 21, 2009

I have a 2005 Nissan Frontier. The paint is peeling off the truck and nissan will not repaint it. Nissan said since it was out of warranty (because of the miles at the time) they could not do anything. The dealer I bought it from did repaint my left front fender but that was all. The Nissan rep. I spoke with said this was the only case that he has heard about, and that the paint was not defected. I have been loyal to Nissan, this is the fourth Nissan I have owned and this is how they treat you. I am done with Nissan they have lost a loyal customer.

Paul of ortley beach, NJ May 18, 2009

I own a 1998 Nissan frotier with a bad instrument cluster. The manufacturer no longer makes the part and all back stock across the country has been sold out This is a huge nationwide problem for Nissan owners and they will do nothing about it.We are left scrounging thru the parts web pages for this part which almost does not exist nation wide. This part sould have been recalled years ago. Now the trucks can not pass inspection and are becoming illegal to drive. The enire truck may have to be scrapped because of this one part.

Sherry of Wolcott, CT March 3, 2009


We bought our Nissan frontier on 9/10/05 with 10 miles on the truck. We took the truck in to be look at by the dealer on 2/20/09. They reported that the radiator, tork converter and transmission needed to be replaced because something happen to the radiator and caused a cross contamination of fluids to run through the transmission, radiator and engine. The cost for repairs would be over 7,000.

I contacted nissan affairs and they would do nothing to assist with the repairs. They stated that we were over our warranty and chose to get our oil changes at an independant place were this should have been caught. The truck has 65,000 miles on it and is only 3yrs old. On 4/9/08 the R&I front propeller shaft and 2 journal assys. were replaced. I find it hard to believe that it is normal for so much to go wrong on this truck and nissan will not stand behind their product.

We do not have 7,000 to fix the truck,we are still paying on the loan and can not drive this truck.

Deonne of Baldwin, LA February 10, 2009


I purchased a 2005 Nissan Frontier in October 2005 after losing my vechicle in the hurricane katrina. I feel that I have losed again. My beautiful truck is now tornished by missing shoddy paint jobs. Huge pieces of paint are flaking off my truck. I took the truck to Kev's Kars in New Orleans and they said that it looks like a manufacturer defect and that the paint did not adhere enough. What am I supposed to do. After some research, I see that there are more problems such as mine. Should Nissan be responsible for repainting my car.

I would like my Nissan Frontier truck repainted. No more, or no less!
