2005 Nissan Frontier

PASSING OTHER VEHICLE ON I-45 TOWARDS DOWNTOWN AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH THE ENGINE EXPERIENCED INTERMITTENT STALLING. I WAS IN DANGER TO CRASH OTHERS WITH PROBLEMS TO GET OUR OF THE HIGH SPEED LINES. AT THAT MOMENT THE ENGINE TOTALLY STALLED ,. FINALLY I WAS ABLE TO REACH THE EXTREME RIGHT LINE AND PULL OUT WAITING FOR A COMPLETE STOP. I TRIED TO RESTART THE ENGINE BUT NO HELP. I DID NOT BELIEVE IT BUT WANTED BE SURE THAT NO LACK OF FUEL WAS THE ORIGIN BECAUSE I ALREADY HAD THE PROBLEM WITH FUEL SENDING UNIT PROBLEM WHICH DO NOT WORK PROPERLY TO ACCURATELY SHOW HOW MUCH FUEL IS ON THE FUEL TANK. I GOT SOME EXTRA FUEL. WE RETURNED AND POURED THE 1 GALLON CAN , THEN I TRIED TO STAR THE ENGINE. IT CRANKED BUT NO STARTING. I CALLED MY INSURANCE REQUESTING TOWING SERVICE . I TRIED TWO MORE TIMES AND AFTER THAT THE ENGINE STARTED ROUGHLY AND HESITATING. AFTER 2 MINUTES AND STABILIZED I DECIDED TO CONTINUE. I CALLED MY INSURANCE COMPANY TO CANCEL THE TOWING SERVICE . DECIDED TO CONTINUE ON I-45 BUT ON THE EXTREME RIGHT HAND SIDE LINE. I ARRIVED HOME WITH NO OTHER ISSUES AND AFTER PARKING ON MY DRIVEWAY, SHUT DOWN THE ENGINE, THEN I TRIED TO RESTART IT BUT NOTHING . ONLY CRANKING GOOD BUT NO STARTING AT ALL. FINALLY AFTER SOME LIKE 10 SECONDS OF CRANKING, THE ENGINE HESITATED BUT STARTED. I TOOK IT TO AUTOZONE , THEY SCANNED IT AND GAVE ME THE CODES P043 FOR THE FAILED FUEL SENDIN UNIT ( FUEL LEVEL SENSOR ) AND THE CODE P0335 WHICH IS PROBLEM WITH THE CIRCUIT OR SIGNAL OR SENSOR CRANKSHAFT. I MADE SEARCH TO FIND IT AND TODAY, SUNDAY 29, AFTER SEVERAL HOURS, FINALLY REMOVED AND REPLACED IT. AFTER THIS THE TRUCK STARTS VERY GOOD AS USUALLY BEFORE THE STALLING EXPERIENCES. COST WAS SOME LIKE 23 DOLLAR BUT THE RISK IN WHAT I WAS AND EXPOSING OTHERS HAS NO PRICE. IS NECESSARY TO HAVE A CRASH OR FATAL RESULTS FOR YOU TO CONSIDER THIS A RECALL TO PROTECT OTHERS? *TR

EXITED SIDE STREET ONTO FRONTAGE ROAD, RIGHT TURN, CAR SHUDDERED AND STOPPED MOVING. TRANSMISSION WAS ERRATIC CAUSING CAR TO LURCH FORWARD AT TIMES AND REMAIN IMMOVABLE AT OTHERS. FORTUNATELY ONCOMING TRAFFIC WAS ABLE TO STOP AND ALLEVIATE A POSSIBLE T-BONE SCENARIO. WAS ABLE TO LIMP CAR THROUGH LIGHT AND INTO SERVICE STATION. *TR

MY 2005 NISSAN FRONTIER LE 4X4 RECORDED A P0463 (FUEL LEVEL SENSOR CIRCUIT HIGH INPUT) EARLIER THIS WEEK. IT CLEARED CAME BACK ONCE, AND NOW IS CONSTANT. AFTER FILLING THE TANK, THE FUEL GAUGE TOOK APPROXIMATELY 20 MINUTES TO REGISTER FULL. NOW MY FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT WORK AT ALL- IT SIMPLY DISPLAYS ZERO FUEL PRESENT IN THE TANK. I'VE ALREADY RAN OUT OF FUEL ONCE THIS WEEK, ON THE HIGHWAY. I'VE CONTACTED A LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP, APPARENTLY NISSAN HAS A RECALL (OR TSB?) FOR CERTAIN NISSAN FRONTIERS- HOWEVER MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE HAS 133,000 MILES AND IS THUS NOT ELIGIBLE. CAN YOU PLEASE ASSIST? *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 40MPH MY FRONTIER SUDDENLY CUT OFF , HAD NO BRAKES OR POWER STEERING. I WENT OFF THE ROAD AND HIT SOME TREES. MY INSURANCE FIXED MY TRUCK, EVEN AFTER I TOLD THEM AND THE BODY SHOP I WANTED IT CHECKED OUT FIRST. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS A RECALL WITH A DEFECTIVE ECM RELAY. THEY ALSO INFORMED ME MY RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE COOLANT LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION. NISSAN SAID I WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND DID NOTHING TO HELP BUT REPLACE THE PART THAT CAUSED MY ACCIDENT. THE LEAK/ RUPTURED PART SEEMS LIKE IT WAS FROM THE ACCIDENT BUT MY INSURANCE AND NISSAN BOTH ARE LEAVING ME OUT ON MY OWN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, SHE ATTEMPTED TO MAKE A TURN AND THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED AND RESUMED NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED UNDER A VOLUNTARY RECALL ISSUED BY THE MANUFACTURER PERTAINING TO THE ECM RELY. THE REMEDY REPAIR FAILED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THE FAILURE RECURRED AFTER THE REPAIR WAS PERFORMED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 116,088.

THE FIRST WEEK OF NOVEMBER 2013 WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 50-60 MPH, I WOULD INTERMITTENTLY EXPERIENCE SHUDDERING VIBRATIONS LIKE THE ONES YOU FEEL WHEN YOU DRIVE THROUGH THOSE HIGHWAY STRIPS. I DID NOT PAY MUCH ATTENTION TO EAT THINKING IT PROBABLY WAS A MINOR PROBLEM WITH THE TIRES. 3RD WEEK OF NOVEMBER THE TRUCK STARTED SLIPPING. I WENT ONLINE TO FIND OUT WHAT CAUSES THE SLIP AND THERE IT WAS. HUNDREDS OF NOT JUST 2005 NISSAN FRONTIER OWNERS BUT ALSO XTERRA'S AND PATHFINDER OWNERS FROM 2005-2010 HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM.INTERNET SEARCHES CAME OUT THAT AT A CERTAIN POINT IN THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE AT AVERAGE ABOUT 90-100T MILES, RADIATOR COOLANT MIXES WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID DUE A CRACK INSIDE THE RADIATOR, AND THE TRANSMISSION BECOMES CONTAMINATED AND EVENTUALLY FAILS. AFTER FINDING OUT THE SYMPTOMS OF POSSIBLE CONTAMINATION I EXAMINED MY TRUCK'S RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION AND FOUND OUT THAT INDEED TRANSMISSION OIL AND COOLANT HAD MIXED. I IMMEDIATELY REPLACED THE RADIATOR AND FLUSHED THE TRANSMISSION THINKING THAT THIS COULD STILL SAVE THE TRANSMISSION. A WEEK AGO WHILE AT A STOP, WITH THE TRUCK ON DRIVE AND RIGHT FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, I HEARD A BIG BANG AROUND THE TRANSMISSION AREA AND FELT A VIOLENT SHAKE AND THEN THE TRUCK JERKED FORWARD AND I ALMOST HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I WAS ABLE TO BRING THE CAR HOME.I CANNOT USE THE TRUCK NOW OUT OF FEAR THAT THE TRANSMISSION WILL SUDDENLY FAIL WHILE I'M DRIVING IN THE FREEWAY AND CAUSE OR BE IN AN ACCIDENT. MANY OWNERS HAVE REPORTED THAT WHEN THEIR TRANSMISSIONS FAILED, THEIR VEHICLES SUDDENLY LOST POWER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY AND ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT. I CALLED NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE AND I WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE AND THEY HAVE EXTENDED THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION WARRANTY TO 100000 MILES WITH A $3000 CO-PAY. *TR

WE WHERE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE TRUCKS ENGINE STARTED TO MAKE NOISES AND LOSING SPEED. IT DIDN'T GIVE ANY WARNING, AND IT COMPLETELY STOPPED RUNNING. THE MECHANICS DIAGNOSTIC WAS " C/S TRANSMISSION WONT MOVE AND MIL IS ON.VEHICLE NEEDS A TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR DUE TO AN INTERNAL LEAK FROM THE COOLING SYSTEM IN TO TRANSMISSION" WE TOOK IT TO THE NISSAN AGENCY BECAUSE OF THE WARRANTY BUT THEY REFUSED TO RESPECT THE WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH I HAVE I HAVE TWO DIAGNOSTICS FROM DIFFERENT MECHANICS EXPLAINING THAT I HAVE THAT SAME PROBLEM, NISSAN IS NOT MAKING ITS SELF RESPONSIBLE EVEN THOUGH ITS TRUCKS HAVE A FACTORY DEFECT. *TR
