Nissan Frontier Reviews

I have a 2005 Nissan Frontier 4x4 Nismo Off Road Package. It has 90,141 miles. On November 17, 2010, I was driving on paved road, and when I wanted to pass a vehicle, the truck downshifted but it felt like it shifted into neutral. The engine would rev up as I pressed the accelerator but it would not increase speed. From a stop, the truck would accelerate and shifted gears first, second and third. But as it shifted to fourth, it felt like neutral. I took it to My Nissan Kia dealership in Salinas, CA and spoke to a Hector ** (service rep). He said that a technician inspected the truck and found that the radiator fluid had seeped into the transmission and that the transmission was ruined. I asked Hector if Nissan had any recalls. He said that the only one he knew was for a faulty fuel gauge. I told Hector that other customers ware having the same transmission problems and he said, "Yeah, I know."

I bought a new Nissan Frontier 2006 and it appears that everything has been breaking down 1,000 - 2,000 miles after the warranty expires.

I previously commented on this site about my 07 frontier gauge going bad and ultimately went to the local TV station consumer reporter after exhausting all efforts with Nissan. The reporter sent a brief letter to Nissan and all was resolved with a check to me. However, I'm writing concerning the abundance of folks reporting transmission problems from leaking radiators. Scared me enough to spend $847.00 to replace the radiator and all fluids in my 07 frontier. Last time, I'll buy anything from Nissan. They will never call you or acknowledge your problem in writing.

I have a '07 Nissan Frontier that I bought new. It now has 100,000 interstate miles on it. The transmission fluid has been contaminated with coolant, resulting in transmission failure. Also, my fuel gauge has broken and my A/C has failed. My truck is at the dealership now, and the bill is $1000.00 so far. I am not very pleased, to say the least.

I have Nissan Frontier '06 and I have had replace the gas gauge that went bad at about 50,000 miles. It cost me 600.00+ to fix at a Nissan dealer. Now, I have a problem with my transmission, where the radiator has a leak and has mixed with my trans mission fluid and has could my trans to start shuttering and slipping. Please can we get complaint filed against Nissan and a recall? This issue will cost about 3,100.00 to fix.

Please help! We got our Nissan Frontier 2005 on Oct. 2005 from Dealer. We haven't even finished paying for it and we already have had our truck computer replaced two times at our own expense (around $800 just x the part + labor). Now we are having a problem with transmission and took it to the dealer. The result: radiator broke, $1,300 and mix water to the transmission. So transmission needs be replaced too (another $5,000). We haven't finished making the payments to credit card co. the first to fixes and now this. Both economical and emotional damages we are having to get into credit card debt (that we didn't have before) just because of this truck. We are struggling to pay to the credit cards + interest and seems like we are not getting our peace of mind any soon since truck still giving us problems. Nissan truck parts seem to be disposable and company doesn't do anything about it! Worst vehicle we have ever had. Because of so many times needed to be replaced and expensive parts n labor. What can we do? Again, please somebody help! God bless!

This is about my 2005 Nissan Frontier NISMO package with 85k miles, auto-trans. I purchased the truck brand-new in 2005, and have treated in like a queen ever since. I only use 93 octane gas, and synthetic oil. I get all the recommended service at a Nissan dealership as well. I drive the truck mainly on paved roads at interstate speeds. The truck is treated much better than the Nissan brochure tells me it can be treated.

We purchased our 2005 Nissan Frontier brand new. After a week of having our new truck, the gas tank would spew gas back out while fueling. We took it in for service 3 times. The tank still spews gas.

I have a 2005 Nissan Frontier and I have had all the problems seen on this discussion and more. My fuel sending unit went out (no help from Nissan), the front U-joints went out (covered under warranty). For 4 years, I had a bad damper plate in the heater that kept the air/heat system in the recirculation mode due to pinched wires (from the factory). This rendered my defroster virtually useless. I had to diagnose this problem myself and the dealer wanted $1,200 to fix it (Nissan refused any help). Now, the all too common transmission cooler leak that takes out the whole transmission. $5,500 is the estimate to fix this. How in the world does this company stays in business? This is by far the worst automobile I have ever owned. Even worse than my Fiat or Peugeot. I guess I will dump a used transmission in and then get rid of this piece of junk before the next thing goes wrong.

I bought a 2006 Nissan Frontier last summer off a local dealer. I kept it very well maintained. The truck started to shutter from the tranny just like all the other complaints I've read. The problem is not in the customer, but in the company. I'm stuck with a huge bill that I can't afford to fix and can't afford to get rid of. Only had the truck 10 months and it's low mileage.

I have a 2005 Nissan Frontier Nismo package. The transmission cooler line had a leak that caused cross contamination of my coolant and transmission fluid. After spending $200 to have the transmission cleaned out and another $280 to replace the radiator, I began to have slippage problems with the transmission. I have also been told that this is a common problem with these trucks. If it is such a common problem, then why has there never been a recall on these trucks? What has to take place before a recall can be placed? I also have a problem with my fuel gauge not working and after reading several issues of the same, why has it not been recalled. I currently own the last Nissan product that I will ever have, not because it will last that long but because I will never buy junk again.

2007 Nissan Frontier bad fuel gauge reading.

Purchased a 2010 Nissan Frontier early June. Seat moves back & forth when you stop and accelerate. Nissan says this is normal. I don't think so. I thought seats were to be stationary when driving. Not moving around.

I bought a 05 Nissan Frontier from Dover Used Car Center in Wharton, NJ. The day I left with the car, I noticed transmission banging. I set up an appointment for five days later. They inspected the car and said the transmission is supposed to bang in these vehicle, they even put that in writing. A few weeks later, the transmission was toasted. I brought it to my mechanic and he said that the transmission fluid is mixing with the antifreeze and it’s a very common flaw with these cars.

I bought a used 2005 Nissan frontier from them on 3-19-10 for $14,999. As soon as I left the dealership, I noticed the transmission banging. On 3-26-10, I brought it in to be looked at for the problem, a few hours later, they called me up and said it’s supposed to bang that is standard for this vehicle. I have paperwork to prove this. Here we are six weeks later and the transmission is totally going. I brought it to my personal mechanic and he said the transmission fluid and the antifreeze mixed together and ruined the transmission and radiator. He said it is a flaw with these vehicles and extremely common.

Nissan Frontier 2006. Well, I have also had the gas gauge go out on me at 40,000 miles. After copying information from many forms and showing it to dealer was fixed for free:), got recall notice 2 months later. Now at 50,700 truck started to shudder. Radiator fluid leaking into transmission got the same BS about Radiator was not part of power train . I told the dealer about this site and many more out there and it was fixed for free (They Know). Nissan paid for part dealer picked up labor, so I'm a Happy camper! Time to sell the truck before the next problem. I will say that the dealer was very helpful in all this and do not have a single problem with them. It's not their fault that the truck is full of problems. It's Nissan that should be hung out to dry like Toyota.

We own a 2007 Nissan Frontier which was recalled for gas gauge failure, our vehicle had the problem which led to the vehicle failing emissions. We contacted our local Nissan dealership and were told we had to pay for the repairs. Our VIN did not show up on the recall. It was $540.00 for the repairs that we had to have done.

My Nissan 2006 Frontier has the gas gauge/arm problem. My husband never has any idea how much gas he has and he has run out of gas once when the truck indicated that he had 1/4 of a tank. Thank goodness he was not on the freeway! Like other who have posted, we are told that currently our truck's vin # is not on the list, that Nissan does not have a way of sending documented conversations, and that we would receive a refund should we decide to pay for this defect ourselves and they include our VIN # later. Like Toyota. I guess it will take numerous deaths and serious injuries before Nissan will fix a very obvious problem. I think the auto industry needs an independent watchdog that can initiate mandatory immediate recalls on any defective parts/autos. We should not have numerous lives lost or injuries before someone says"we should have!" Fear of driving and suddenly being without gas. This can result in serious injury or death depending on where it occurs!

I own a Nissan Frontier, and the transmission lines that run through the radiator leaked transmission oil into my radiator. The radiator needed to be replaced, and the transmission is now malfunctioning. I saw many complaints about this radiator for the 2005 and 2006 Nissan Frontier and Xterra. Costs so far to date are $875 for the radiator replacement and upwards of $5000 for a new transmission.

In 2007 I purchased a new 2007 Nissan Frontier from Massapequa Nissan in Massapequa, NY. Approximately 6 months my check engine light came on and my fuel gauge malfunctioned. This gave a false reading to the amount of fuel in the tank. This all happened past the 3yr and 36,000 mile warranty period. I was notified by family member who is employed by Nissan as a technician in Illinois that there was a recall for bad fuel sensor on the 2010 trucks and other recall covering 2006 -2008.

Paint on the roof of my 2003 Nissan Frontier cab started coming off in sheets. There was no rust underneath, just the gray primer. I took it to Lia Motors in Latham, NY. They evaluated the condition and forwarded to a regional representative for review. Regional rep just stated that it was out of warranty. That was about a year ago.

I purchased new 2007 Nissan, 4d., frontier SE in Sept '07. I drove the truck to present time, took back in only for airbag sensor recall in '09. I noticed subtle problems like a vibration while on level road conditions, brake pedal drop to floor while at stop light and transmission would not go forward in drive upon initial start-up. I would have to shift from park to drive and back to reverse and back into drive. I took truck back to local dealer with approx. 22k miles on it for a noise in front end. Upon inspection, service manager said front brakes were gone. Rotors, pads hardware needed replacement. Back ones could be salvaged. Rotors turned. Brake hardware would have to be lubricated as this is what all Nissan vehicles require every six months! Nissan took care of fronts. I had to pay $112 for the rears as I was at fault?

I have a 2006 Nissan Frontier with 42,636 miles. My gas gauge is stuck at 1/2 tank, and according to Nissan my model does not qualify for the recall! There are over 250,000 complaints of 2005-2009 Nissans with the exact same problem, but they will not cover mine! Can someone say class action lawsuit!

Fuel gauges on my 2007 Nissan Frontier were defective. Gauges are always on "E". Others I know with 2005-2009 Nissans are encountering the same or similar defects with fuel gauges. However, there is no official recall from Nissan, so it costs around $750 to fix. Ridiculous!

I have a 2005 Nissan Frontier with water in transmission. The truck has 100k miles. My truck started shuttering when going into over drive. The transmission place I used told me over the phone exactly what it was without even looking at it. He said he has an extra with the same problem defective radiators allowing water and transmission fluids to mix. It had cost me near $4,000. I have the receipts and I’m just waiting on the recall from Nissan!

I just read what William of Bowie MD said regarding a leak in the radiator which entered the transmission. My truck is a 2005 with 49,950 miles. I went to my dealer (Ron ** of Fitchburg, MA) today and got the same reply as William. They said that the radiator was no longer under warranty and since that was the cause for the transmission failure (which is under warranty), they refused to fix the problem unless I pay $5000.00.

Follow up 2006 Frontier 3/10/10 transmission complaint. I reported complaint to Nissan Consumer affairs. They asked for service records and past Datsuns, Nissan's previously owned, questioned dealer if truck looked abused. Everything was in order. Nissan called me to inform me they would replace the transmission, radiator and completely flush the coolant and transmission fluids at no charge. Two weeks wait but it was worth it. Thank you Nissan.

On March 27th, Saturday at 1030 AM, I took my Nissan Frontier to the dealership because I read that there was a recall on my 2007 pickup. When they ran the VIN number, it showed no recall from that make or model. I asked to speak to the service manager and he went on to say that I would have to pay out of pocket first and that if the truck showed up later on the recall, I would be repaid everything I paid for.

I bought a 2005 Nissan Frontier in April 2009 with 42000 miles on it. I took very good care of it, serviced it frequently. I loved the looks and handling of the truck. Over the year, I noticed little things happening. Sometimes my 4wd wouldn't go on when I needed it and at other times, it wouldn't turn off. My gas cap cover broke. Service engine light would come on and off. The belt squeals. I recently moved from Upper Michigan down to South Carolina for the job I work for.

I have a 2007 Nissan Frontier. At 97 thousand miles, I started to feel a shutter in the transmission. I took the truck to Nissan. When a tech took my truck for a test drive, he came back and told me that the radiator was bad. He told me that it was leaking coolant into the transmission cooler and allowing coolant into the transmission. I told him that was great. I have a 100 thousand mile power train warranty. The tech told me that he would speak to his service manager Anthony and get back to me. I requested that he document this concern because my warranty was about to expire. I was informed that is okay, continue to drive the truck.

I also have a 2x2 2005 Frontier where my engine light came on a while back, fuel gauge stopped operating correctly and now I'm dealing with a bad transmission cooler as well. When is Nissan going to take the initiative and resolve these issues? Apparently there are lots of folks dealing with this especially once the warranty goes out. Is this their common business practice?

I have a 2006 Nissan Frontier. Add me to the transmission problem. It has 74000 miles, and the transmission shutters occasionally. The dealer found some coolant mixing with transmission fluid. It replaced the radiator, transmission flush, and coolant flush for $1000. I hope I caught it early enough. There should be a recall. it's a defective transmission cooler inside the radiator, and there's defective radiator in all '05 and '06 Frontiers and Exteras. Keep all receipts. I hope Nissan acknowledges that they are responsible. Toyota is.

I have 2006 Nissan Frontier and at 44,000 miles, my fuel gauge stop working. It says it is empty when it is full. I have to purchase gas every other day, so I won't run out of gas. It appears there are a lot of people with the same problem. And it is not covered under 60,000 mile factory warranty.

I have a 2005 Nissan Frontier. I have experienced several problems after the warranty expired. The check engine light went on and my fuel gauge no longer worked. The only fix is to replace the fuel pump in order to replace the bad sensor, shortly after the catalytic converter went out. Following the catalytic converter fix, the transmission went out due to a bad cooling system including the radiator. This is completely unacceptable and there should be a compensation account set up by Nissan to help cover the $6,000 in expenses!

At $48,000 miles, my service engine light came on. I took it to a mechanic and found out it was my fuel gauge sensor. My fuel gauge doesn't work now, it says it is empty when it is full, and full when it is empty. I have to purchase gas every other day, so I won't run out of gas. It appears there are a lot of people with the same problem. I am terrified that I will run out of gas. I am a woman with 2 children that I drive around quite a bit, and that could be dangerous. I also work out of my truck, and haul gymnastics equipment to day care centers that I teach at.

I have a 2006 Nissan Frontier, and at 45,000 miles, the transmission went out on it. Thank goodness it is still under the power train warranty. From what I have read, this seems to be common for the 2006 Nissan Frontier. I have been told that the transmission is on a national back order, and that it could be at least 2 weeks, before the dealership can get one. Buyers beware of the Nissan Frontier!

I purchased a new Fontier Crew Cab on 8/15/05. I have had good service out of the vehicle until it reached approximately 43,000 miles. When I refill the tank with gas, the gauge shows empty and the "Service Engine Light" comes on and stays on and you never know how much gas is in your tank. I called my local dealer, Cole Nissan, Blueield, WV and spoke with the service advisor, Oma. He told me it could be a fuel sensor and that it would cost around $350 to repair it. I was upset and still angry that Nissan will not repair it since over 250,000 of their vehicles are having this problem according to an article on the internet. Mr. W knew I was angry and he gave me the Nissan number to call and I talked to a lady named Nicole. She assigned me a case ** and told me to take it to a dealer and have a diagnostic done on it and call her back.

The transmission on my 2006 Nissan Frontier went out without showing any signs of wear. At 67k miles, the transmission went out. I had the truck at the dealership for the scheduled service at 59k. The warranty expired on the transmission was at 60k. The dealership would not honor or extend the warranty. I contacted Nissan headquarters and filled a complaint. They would not make any attempt to extend the warranty or cover any of the expense. I have paid $2,000 for a transmission on a 4-year old truck! Today, I have filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. I would like to see a class action lawsuit started by all of these people who have discovered that the faulty radiator is the defect causing the trans problem.

I purchased a 01 Frontier used with 49000 miles on it. Since owning it, there is always something. First the 02 sensor, then the abs light that is still on and not to mention the exhaust system for a s/c engine is a joke. It leaks and this seems to always be a Nissan problem. Figure it out; the steering is just as bad. If I could, I'd sell it but who wants a looker anymore? Its about overall quality, the millage is now at 63000 and I'm waiting for the s/c to fail.

I bought a new 2003 Nissan Frontier. Three years later, the paint started pealing when I would wash the truck. I went back to the dealer after contacting Nissan and they blamed me by saying that the paint was okay even though half paint was off the back of one side of the truck. I finally gave up but every time I look at the truck, I know that they are selling defective paint on trucks. I had a representative from Nissan but they stopped dealing with me. I was wondering if other trucks with blue paint were having the same problem.

I bought a used 2006 Nissan Frontier about 5 months ago with 41k on it. About a month after buying it, the gas gauge started showing an empty tank after filling it up with the "SES" light coming on. I take it to the "stealership" for a $100 diagnostic and I'm told it's a faulty fuel sensor; it's not covered under the drivetrain warranty and it'll be $450.

I have a 2004 Nissan Frontier 4-cylinder. I have only 46,000 miles on my vehicle and my air compressor needs to be replaced. I never owned any vehicle including 3 previous Nissans that my compressor had to be replaced. Does anyone have any recommendations or have same problem with the compressor?

I went into Burger King and left my truck running with a 1/4 of a tank of gas. I came right back out and my fuel gauge was reading empty. I went to put $24 of gas in it and the gauge did not move. I am dealing with emotional issues of being afraid the vehicle may stall due to the sensors not carrying gas where it is needed.

I also have the fuel sensor problem on my 2006 Frontier. It's nice that you pay $27,000 for a vehicle and then have to pay another $500 for repair of a part that obviously is faulty. You would think they would recall these faulty parts instead of ignoring the fact that they screwed up. Thanks, Nissan. I like the way you do business.

My 2005 Nissan Frontier is costing me more in repairs than it is worth. In the last 2 months I have put in a U-joint, had to fix 2 computer codes so it would pass inspection and now the transmission is shot. After I got online and looked, these are problems that a lot of people are having. Why oh why weren't these items made as recalls if they are as common as they appear to be? I have spent a lot of money in the last few months on this vehicle and now I have to repair/replace the transmission? By looking at what others have written, it appears that it is because the radiator fluid leaked into the transmission. Is that my fault? No, so why do I have to pay for it? Isn't there some way those of us that have these trucks can get together and find a way to make Nissan accountable for shoddy workmanship?

I, like many others, have a 2006 Nissan Frontier with fuel gauge sensor issue. The sensor was replaced once when the truck only had 5000 miles on it and now the part has failed again and my service engine soon light is on. We just passed the three-year mark so this part is no longer covered under warranty and Nissan is requesting I get a $90 diagnostic from the dealer before they will even consider paying for the part. After speaking to a manager in the service department, he said spending the $90 was a gamble because they may not even pay after. This is obviously an issue with Nissan trucks and SUV's built in 2005-2007. I'm furious that Nissan has chosen to ignore this and not recall a defective part that can be a potential lawsuit if gas runs out and power steering is lost at a high speed.

I have a 2006 Nissan Frontier with 21,000 miles. I have had the "fuel gauge sensor" replaced 3 times due to erratic gauge readings. The last time was 2 weeks ago and now it is worse than ever. This seems to be a universal problem with Nissan and they need to correct it by having a recall due to defective equipment. It is very frustrating and time consuming for me to continue to have my truck worked on and not fixed. I would appreciate any help in fixing this problem. I never know if my gauge is working correctly or not, or if a fire could result from electrical problems. It is very time consuming and frustrating to have this continuous problem even though the dealer "fixed" the problem 3 times now, and it is still not corrected. Thanks.

2005 Nissan Frontier with a transmission problem - Like several others that have complained, I have a faulty radiator which leaked fluid into my transmission. After reading numerous posting on the internet speaking with several mechanics, including a Nissan dealership, this is a common problem with this year of Nissan's. Of course after contacting Nissan, they have never heard of this problem. I own two 2005 Nissan's; both have now had to have transmission replacements. I will never buy another Nissan or recommend to anyone to purchase a Nissan vehicle.

My 2007 Nissan Frontier, with 55,000 miles, developed "service engine soon" light when filled up with gasoline. The code shown 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 a vehicle without a properly operating fuel gauge for approximately 5,000 miles since I bought it. This is a risk since the fuel gauge drops to empty once the 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.

The oxygen sensor on my 2004 Frontier needed to be replaced. I tried to get it from Freedom Nissan. They ordered it by the VIN. It was not the right part. I brought in the old sensor and was told that it was not the one for my truck. It had a Bosch/Nissan number on it. I called Bosch, that told me they had a contract for the oxygen sensor for some 2003-2004 Frontiers, but Nissan canceled the contract so they don't make them anymore. I called Freedom Nissan where the parts department was trying to get the part. I told them what Bosch had said, this was not something they knew. They said they were waiting for a call from Nissan. This actually had been three weeks of ordering parts and waiting for calls. I bought the truck from this dealer with 17,000 miles on it.

I have a 2006 Nissan Frontier SE 4x4. After having my 100k transmission fluid flush, I began having acceleration problems. I took the truck back to the dealer and they checked the drive shaft. Later after several weeks, I booked an oil change. 3 days later, I brought the truck back and they then noticed the radiator fluids had mixed with my transmission fluids. I paid over $1,200 to have it flushed and sealed. I was told if I had any trans problems, they would replace it. Guess what! I had problems 2 weeks after the repairs and now I am being told the warranty is up and the cost could exceed $7,000. I am definitely taking this one to small claims. Nissan has lost my business!

Let me add my complaint to the thousands of similar complaints out there about Nissan's unacceptable warranty and repair policies and behaviors. I own a 2005 Frontier SE 4x4. For a month, I was noticing that my truck would briefly vibrate at high speeds and then make a thud. It only happened occasionally when I tried accelerating from a cruising speed. It was almost as if it was trying to kick into overdrive. My 60k mile warranty just expired a month ago and I figured the dealer wasn't going to help me, so I took it to a friend at Aamco. They found out that the transmission cooler had ruptured and the coolant had leaked into the transmission.

I have been a Nissan customer since high school; my first car was a Datsun. That's how long I have been buying cars from Nissan.

I have a 2005 Nissan Frontier with 55,400 miles on it and I too have the same transmission problems. I took it to dealer and was told that some seal between the radiator and transmission has failed causing anti-freeze to seep into the transmission. Just like the others who posted here, Nissan refuses to fix, even though the power train (which include the transmission) is still under warranty. I was told today to repair it will cost me $6,900 more than have of what I currently owe. The warranty guide says 5yrs/60k miles. It says certain things are not covered but it does not indicate that I would not be covered if the failure was due to failure of a part that is out of warranty. This should be a recall item! I have searched and found 3 others who just like me and the two other here have the same exact problem.

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". It's a truck, so to make the bottom line seem like my fault. Then they start to tell me of the $8500 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.

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 exists. 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.

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.

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.

I have a 2005 Frontier that has had several recent problems starting with both of the catalytic converters, the power supply system and the timing chain noise. The noise was reported to the dealership at Don Davis in Arlington, Texas when it was in for the warranty of one of the converters and they simply did nothing about the noise.

I want to update you on our 2005 Nissan Frontier 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 in 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 Nissan is refusing to pay for the repairs or they will start to charge storage fees. The truck has to be towed everywhere and we can't fix it. We do not have $7000. We have had this for only 11 months and still owe a major amount of money. The $347 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.

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 defective. 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.

I own a 1998 Nissan Frontier 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 through the parts web pages for this part, which almost does not exist nationwide. This part should have been recalled years ago. Now the trucks can not pass inspection and are becoming illegal to drive. The entire truck may have to be scrapped because of this one part.

My nissan frontier has had a lot of issues and when I took to this dealership to fix it i payed over two thousand dollars to do just that. Not a month passed and was doing the same thing so I took it in and they fixed a lose fuel injector wire said that it would need a fuel injectors but it was fixed again, no such luck. so not having the money to just fork over so they could randomly guess what the problem i just dealt with it until it wouldn't start then I took it back.

I promptly called the dealership and they repainted again. but, this time they blamed it on rocks flying up and knocking the paint off but this didn't look like anything a rock could do. The dealership has been wonderful at fixing my problem but Nissan denies they have a problem with their paint jobs and will not pay for it to be repainted. Just wanted to warn everyone of the possibility of bad paint jobs.

We recently traded in a 2006 Nissan Frontier King Cab pickup on a 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 pickup. We purchased this truck @ Moultrie Nissan Inc., 9736 US Highway 431 in Albertville, Alabama on 07/25/06. The mileage @ the time of transfer to Alexander Scofield Chrysler,Jeep, Dodge in Arab, Alabama was 28,156 miles. The purchase price of the Nissan Frontier included Nissan's factory warranty which was good for 3 years or 36,000 miles,whichever comes 1st. At the time we purchased the Nissan pickup, we purchased a 60 month or 100,000 extended service agreement for the price of 1095.00. The date @ transfer was 07/11/08 and we cancelled the extended service agreement on the Nissan Frontier pickup on 07/17/08. We have been told that our refund on the extended service agreement will be prorated and will be approximately 632.00. It clearly states in our extended service agreement coverage under this service agreemant mechanical breakdown and towing coverage begins when the New Vehicle Warranties described in the Warranty Information Booklet expire. This had not ocurred by the time we traded the Nissan Frontier in on the 2008 Dodge Ram pickup. We had the Nissan Frontier pickup for less than 2 years and as I stated earlier, the odometer reading @ that time was 28,156 miles.In a paragraph before the one I just quoted it states in the booklet:This Agreement begins on the date the vehicle is delivered to the first buyer or put into use (in-service-date) whichever is earlier. But all repairs for the first 3 years or 36,000 miles are covered by the manufacturer's factory warranty and nothing is covered under the extended service agreement until that warranty has expired, either by date or mileage, whichever comes first. How can you prorate a service agreement that is not in force until the factory warranty has expired? So we have challenged NESNA's interprretation of their extended service agreement booklet. It is our contenetion that we are owed the entire 1095.00 that we paid for this service agreement @ the time we purchased the 2006 Nissan King Cab Frontier pickup. We also feel that Nissan misrepresnts their extended service agreements by stating that that our sevice agreement is a 60 month or 100,000 miles service agreement. It is rather a 24month or 64,000 mile service contract since it covers nothing until the manufacturer's warranty has expired and runss concurrently with the manufacturer's factory warranty and only covers the vehicle after 36 months or 36,000 miles,whichever comes first. In the case of our 2006 Nissan Frontier pickup the the 60 month service agreement began on the date that we purchased it and only covered the vehicle for 24 additional months or 64,000 miles(from 36000 miles to 100,000 miles or a total of 64,000 miles. In addition to the purchase of our 2006 Nissan Frontier pickup @ Moultrie Nissan Inc. in Albertville,Alabama we also purchased a 2008 Nissan Altima 2.5S sedan on June 30,2008. Again @ the time of purchasing the Nissan Altima,we purchased the same service agreement on the Altima that we had purchased on the Nissan Frontier pickup. We have cancelled that service agreement becayse we do not plan to keep the Nissan Altima for more than 2 years. At the time of completing the loan contract we were charged 1245.00 for the extended service agreement. When we received our Nissan extended service agreement, we learned that the price of extended service agreement was 950.00 and not 1245.00. We just received the extended service agreement booklet on thursday,July31,2008 and the next day we went to Moultrie Nissan and confronted them with the overcharge of 295.00. They told us that the extra 295.00 was for GAP insurance. WE NEVER signed any paper that said we had agreed to purchase GAP insurance on the 2008 Nissan Altima. And the service agreement application that neither my wife or I signed clearly states that the Agreement Purchase Price is 1245.00. There is nothing on this paper that says we are buying GAP insurance. We have been told by Moultrie that our loan balance will be credited in the amount of 950.00 only. We clearly were charged 1245.00 for the service agreement on the loan contract papers. We have not been told how we will be reimbursed for the 295.00 overcharge or even if we will be reimbursed. If we are not reimbursed for the 295.00 overcharge ,either by a credit to our loan balance or by check from Moultrie, we will file a claim in small claims court. Also we paid more for the 2008 Nissan Altima than we were quoted by the salesperson who sold us both the 2006 Nissan Frontier pickup and the 2008 Nissan Altima sedan because we trusted him and the dealership wrongfully and should have read all of the fine print!!!!

I have a 2002 Nissan frontier 4*4 and I took it to the dealer for service and it needed Brakes $307.00, Muffler $505.00, and the check engine lite was on and they said it needed a new gas tank no idea how much the gas tank is because it is on back order. Went to the parts department and they said their is a long list of people needing a fuel tank but they couldn't give me a price because they dont make them. I own a $23,000.00 uninspectable truck which is a fire hazard and I still owe 3 years on the vehicle. I bought the truck hoping for 200,000 miles not 63,000.

i have been calling a few times weekly only to get the same answer" we are trying to locate all the parts for my sunroof" I spoke to my lease company and they told me that i am entitled to a collateral value vehicle.. nissan wont budge. i am paying 479.99 monthly for a vehicle that cannot be driven & repaired and they just keeping buying time. july 7 made it to be 2 months since the first complaint. and i am still truckless very dissapointed with nissan motor co I want this fixed or buy off my lease. i wont buy nissan ever again. they let me down. we are renovating our home and now we have to pay for rentals of home depot and or lowes trucks just to bring home material. i also do a lot of yard work and i cant take the clippings to the recycling center, as they do not collect brush.

I contacted Nissan at 1-800-nissan and spoke with Carolin and she said that even though it is a safety recall and they do not have the parts to correct the issue that Nissan will not provide a replacement car for me. She said that I am basically without a truck until Nissan can obtain the part in question. I was never notified of this issue and my car has been to the dealership multiple times and I was never notified of this recall. I will be out a car for up to 90 days due to a safety recall and Nissan claims this is my problem.

I took the truck in because the service engine soon light came on. Before you purchase a Nissan Frontier four wheel drive be aware. I have a 06 Frontier (22020 miles on it) and the vent control system got dust in it and the truck was not covered under warranty. Nissan told me the truck was built on a car frame and because of this it is lower to the ground and it was my fault for having the truck in the dust. When I told them it was a 4 wheel drive I thought it was suppose to be driven off the road the reprehensive of from Nissan told me I would more than likely have this problem again. I cant tell you how ****** at Nissan I am. There service is the worst Ive ever had the displeasure to work with.

2007 Frontier Nissan Cheap Gas Tank... The gas tank is made out of plastic and very easy for a low life person to cut with a pocket knife.(I found out the hard way!!! And high gas prices will cause many others to find out the hard way too.) Welcome to the real world,Nissan wake-up... we have low life people stealing gas and your only making it easier for them by making cheap plastic gas tanks!!!(What good is a lock gas cap? LOL) To replace my gas tank it will cost about $1000.00 But ALOT WORSE... I have to park in the same place... with a NEW $1000.00 gas tank where a low life person already knows how easy it is to use a pocket knife to steal my gas!!! .

I bought an 02 nissan frontier with 118k miles on it, took it for a test drive and all seemed well, while driving back to the state I live in it the thermo was well over the H, checked coolant level and there was none, the reservoir was bone dry, I than pulled into a walmart and bought coolant, problem resolved...sorta...I needed gas so as I was filling up a great amount of gas spilled all over the place as it topped off, asked the dealer about it and said the fuel pump had been replaced and theres nothing they can do about gas spillage. When I arrived home I realized the owner before (or maybe it just died) disconnected the chime if the keys are left in the ignition or the lights are left on with the door open, asked nissan about this and not one mechanic knew where the chime was located, they would only attempt to find it after paying $120 to open the instrument cluster and not even gaurantee if it could be found and fixed, lost one battery because the lights were left on from getting off work in the early hours, way ta go nissan. At around 136k with no signs at all beforehand my truck overheats to the point my engine light comes on within a minute, immediately pulled over and checked the gas cap realizing there was a coolant loss into oil and vis versa with the color of black in coolant, limped home and flushed it out and added sealant, actually held up until 141k, before it stopped working I needed a balance so I took it in, had to take it back 3 times after the initial balance because nissan couldn't get it right the first time,the 3rd time they said my front bearings needed packed, as they were taking the auto lock 4 wheel drive assembly off they found a cracked plastic piece, when they looked into getting just that peice they wanted me to buy the whole assembly for $280, I refused. Shortly afterward it started operating warmer than normal, but only off and on and not everyday, which I'm still having the same problem but no money to fix. Theres many little things I did not include about this truck that are wrong with it. Fact is Nissan developed a very poor product compared to earlier models and a very poor reputation as well.

The Truck Shifter is gone. Since the beginging it wasn't right. Any type of shifting it would slip. Smoky smelly order from the reverse in the driveway. Called the dealer and they said it was not a recall. the truck is Very new always garage keep. change oil. 2006 Nissan Frontier.

I own a 1998 Nissan Frontier. I paid $10,000 for it 2 years ago. The dealer and corporate Nissan has informed me that they no longer make the parts to fix my instrument cluster. Without a speedometer my vehicle can not pass inspection. They are telling me too bad, they have no solution. They told me to call scrap yards. I did, they have nationwide searches. I was told by multiple yards that this is such a problem item that no one in the nation has a cluster. I have been trying for 2 months. Nissan is so aware of this!

purchased new 5 speed 2003 nissan frontier with extended war. maintained service with dealer until parking brake cable was not repaired in 2004. park cable was not repaired until 2007 by dealership. truck has bad dealer paint job and needs repainting due to bubbling and peeling. dealership denied ever having any apint problems with nissan factory products. paint has to be removed and repainted for about 3,500.00. sales and service staff refused to give contact information for factory rep.

My service engine soon light came on. I took my Nissan Frontier in to have oil changed. After work had been completed I started my truck service engine soon light was on. Went to service advisor Gregg and told him light was on. He went into shop and when he came out he said light was on when I came in. I agreed but truck had just been serviced.

Took our 05 Nissan Frontier to Beaverton Nissan on December 5th to have it serviced because the check engine light was on. We were told approximately four hours later that we needed to have the dump valve replaced and it would be covered by the manufacturers warrenty. Went home because they were not sure when they would get the part. We were contacted by telephone the following business day and told that are charchol canister needed to be replaced and it would not be covered because from what they could see the vehicle had been under water!

Aloha, My name is Marilyn Mohler and I am the Founder/Exceutive Director of a grassroots nonprofit helping single parents since 2000. I traded my 1989 Nissan Pathfinder which I owed for 11 years for my very first new truck (2000 Nissan Frontier Crew Cab) from Kuhio Motors here on the island of Kauai. February 2005 a person donated a MPV Mini Van to my group and since then I have been driving the van.

1. Extremely disappointed in performance of a Nissan Frontier truck.

I have a Nissan Frontier 2002, that it is paid already, but like a week ago on monday Nov. 28, 2005. I was coming back from my job and like 10 to 15 minutes to reach my house the back left side tire broke down, with everything on it and got out the car running to the other side of the blvd. that I was on. It broke without no reason taking all the screws and everything apart, so I had to park the truck to the side of the street pulling the car with no tire at all.

I purchased a new 2005 Nissan Frontier SE Crew Cab 4x4 truck on January 31, 2005. After having for a few days, I called the dealer to find out why I didn't receive keyfobs for the keyless entry. I was told that this model (the SE) is the first year that they don't provide the keyfobs. The truck has full power options to support the use of a keyfob, but Nissan decided NOT TO INCLUDE KEYLESS ENTRY with this model (although it does come with the LE and Nismo models). The problem is, Nissan decided to NOT include the keyless entry, BUT DID NOT THINK TO ADD A KEYHOLE on the passenger side to get in.

I bought a 2000 Nissan Frontier Crew Cab that is having paint problems. When I bought the new truck I opted to get the permaplate coating as a precaution to help the finish last longer than normal. What I am experiencing is patches of paint bubbling and peeling from the tailgate and the right side of the bed.

High rear-mounted taillight leaks water and I have been told that 1999-2002 Nissan Frontiers have a design flaw and that a new design is in the works. That was 2 years ago and Just need to know how long it takes for MIT grads to come up with a light that does not leak. It has been 5 YEARS! Way to go Nissan.

I had bought a new 02 Nissan Frontier Crew cab and ever since then i have been having trouble with the CARGO LIGHT getting fed up with the useless Nissan corp thinking of seeking legal action to file class action law suit . this is the 3rd time and 4 lights later and still under warranty and I am getting the run around from Nissan corp as of today, trying to play the blame.

I purchased a brand new Nissan Frontier Crew Cab truck at Mossy Nissan. I also purchased the most expensive Extended warranty when I bought my new truck. When I bought it, it came with a factory installed bedliner. Ok, I have nearly 50,000 miles on it but I have noticed rust along the edges of the bedliner. I am being told by Nissan that there is nothing they can do due to the amount of miles on the truck. Of course I am not happy with their reply on this issue.

While towing a 600 lb trailer (aproximate inside cargo was 100 lbs) with my nissan frontier(weight recommendation of 2000 lbs or less as stated in owner's manual), the rear bumper broke also causing my trailer to ram into the broken bumper. No one was injured but Nissan isn't backing thier product with my warranty. They are saying that I should not have been towing, if so why would the owner's manual have spec's on how much weight you can tow and besides who ever heard of a truck that you can't use for towing?

My 1999 Nissan Frontier 4WD is well maintained, with 67,500 miles. I have already had to replace the fuel pump twice. I emailed Nissan Motor's website with all personal info, VIN, etc. to find out if there was a history of problems with the pump, and no-one responded. A week later I emailed them again, and Tara P from their Direct Marketing Dept said for your convenience you can call Nissan at 800-647-7261.

I left my car in the park gear. the car was still running. My dog who is fairly big was in the front seat. I went into the house and came back out 5 minutes later. The dog got all excited and was trying to get out of the car. Evidently, he hit the gear shift and the the car was pushed into reverse. The car proceeded to roll down the driveway. I was able to open the door and proceeded to push the gear shift into the park position again. The car continued to roll backwards down the driveway. I was finally able to get my foot on the brake pedal and stop the car. Unfortunately, a car was sideswiped from the open door while I was trying to get the car stopped.

I am experiencing a serious paint problem with my 1998 nissan frontier. I was washing my vehicle when I noticed that the paint was peeling off of my hood. It began as two 1 inch by 1 inch places, so I bought some touch up paint to cover these spots. The next time I washed my frontier, more paint came off approximately 2 x 3 inches. Since then I went to a Nissan dealership and the service manager noticed that not only was the paint coming off, but so was the primer. I then contacted the Nissan help line and told them about what was going on. The service manager at the dealership did the same.

I bought a 2000 Nissan Frontier Crew Cab in March of this year and since I have had it, it has been in the shop numerous times and they have replaced many things and I think that I have a lemon and no one wants to listen to me.
