PREVIOUS COMPLAINT 10226919. ON THURSDAY, MAY 8, I LEFT MY FRONTIER AT THE QUALITY DEALERSHIP IN TEMECULA AS DIRECTED BY THE COMPANY. ACCORDING TO THE SERVICE MANAGER, A COMPANY INSPECTOR VIEWED THE WINDSHIELD DAMAGE AND DENIED RESPONSIBILITY FOR DEFECTIVE MATERIALS. THEY COULD NOT REPLACE IT AND REFERRED A GLASS COMPANY. THIS IS AN ULTIMATE INSULT TO CONSUMERS WHO ARE DUPED INTO PAYING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FOR INFERIOR QUALITY MATERIALS AND WORKMANSHIP IN AMERICA. NO WONDER THE TURNOVER IN SALES AND SERVICE AT THIS DEALERSHIP IS EXCESSIVE. IN TWO YEARS AND MANY TRIPS WITH MINOR VEHICLE PROBLEMS, THAT HAVE NEVER BEEN RESOLVED WE ARE STILL CHARGED. I HAVE NOT SPOKEN TO THE SAME PERSON TWICE. REPEAT CUSTOMERS ARE TREATED LIKE SUCKERS. *TR

I WAS RIDING DOWN THE INTERSTATE WHEN A LOUD POP CAME FROM THE STEERING COLUMN, AT THAT TIME THE STEERING WHEEL GOT REALLY LOOSE, FROM SIDE TO SIDE AND UP AND DOWN.I CALLED SUMBELT NISSAN THEY SAID THE BEARING HAD FAILED IN THE COLUMN,EITHER FROM NOT BEING PRESSED IN CORRECTLY OR IT COULD NOT BE THE RIGHT SIZE,THEY SAID TAKE IT EASY AND BRING IT IN TO REPLACE THE STEERING COLUMN BECAUSE IT COULD LOCK UP DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. AT NISSAN THEY REPLACED THE COLUMN,BUT IT CAME FROM THE SAME PERSON WHO MADE THE INCORRECT STEERING BEARING THE FIRST TIME. NISSAN STATED THIS HAD HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES IN THE 2005 AND THE 2006 TRUCK MODELS. THIS IS A DIRECT MANUFACTURER DEFECT THAT CAN CAUSE WREAKS AND BODILY HARM AND THEY STILL WONT RECALL THESE TRUCKS. IF YOU CHECK THESE COMPLAINTS YOU WILL FIND QUITE A FEW OF THEM PLEASE INVESTIGATE THESE CLAIMS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. *TR

THE ENTIRE COLUMN HAD TO BE REPLACED THEY DEALER TOLD THEM THE BUSHING WHICH BROKE COULD NOT BE REPLACED. THE REPAIRMAN SAID THIS COULD BE CAUSED BY ADJUSTING THE STEERING COLUMN UP & DOWN, HOWEVER THIS COLUMN WAS NOT ADJUSTED SINCE WE PURCHASED THE TRUCK. ONE PERSON DRIVES THE TRUCK, WHICH IS A COMPANY VEHICLE & IS ON THE ROAD ALL DAY 5 DAYS A WEEK. WE WERE CONCERNED WITH THE SAFETY OF DRIVING THE TRUCK WITH THE STEERING COLUMN WOBBLING AROUND. *TR

1. THE EVENT WAS DRIVING NORTHWEST OUT OF TUPELO, MISSISSIPPI, APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH ON ROUTE 78 WHICH IS A 4 LANE DIVIDED HIGHWAY. 2. THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT WHEEL CAME OFF. I WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE OUT OF TRAFFIC & ONTO THE RIGHT SHOULDER OF THE ROAD WITHOUT COLLISION OR INJURY TO OURSELVES OR OTHERS. UPON INSPECTION THE WHEEL HAD SPLIT IN HALF AND SOME OF THE LUG BOLTS HAD ACTUALLY SHEARED OFF. THE VEHICLE IS A NEW NISSAN FRONTIER PICKUP TRUCK WHICH WAS PURCHASED NEW IN JANUARY, 2007. IT HAD LESS THAN 17,000 MILES ON IT AND HAD RECEIVED ROUTINE REQUIRED MAINTENANCE SERVICE PERFORMED BY NISSAN DEALERS/SERVICE DEPARTMENTS. THE LAST SERVICE WAS PERFORMED AT APPROXIMATELY 15,000 MILES AND INCLUDED TIRE ROTATION. 3. NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS WAS CONTACTED, CONDUCTED AN INVESTIGATION & DETERMINED THAT THERE WAS NOT MECHANICAL FAILURE. THEY DID NOT ANSWER THE QUESTION OF WHAT WAS THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE & COULD NOT HAVE HAD TIME TO DO METALLURGICAL TESTS ON THE COMPONENTS. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE NISSAN DEALER IN TUPELO, MISSISSIPPI, AND THEY WERE ADVISED TO SAVE ALL OLD PARTS. I WAS ABLE TO FIND ONE HALF OF THE SPLIT WHEEL WHICH IS IN THE POSSESSION OF THE DEALER AT THIS TIME. NISSAN HAS SAID THIS IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND WILL NOT ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR EXPENSE OF PARTS & REPAIRS. *TR

ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS THE TRANSFER CASE IS STUCK IN 4WD NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO AND IT TAKES FOREVER TO GET IT OUT BACK INTO 2WD. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN FOR THIS COMPLAINT AND HAVE HAD NO LUCK WITH GETTING IT FIXED. FINALLY UPON MY OWN INSPECTION, I NOTICED 3-4 BOLTS BEING DANGEROUSLY LOOSE IN THE TRANSFER CASE WHICH IS A HUGE CALL FOR ALARM. I KNOW MANY HAVE THIS SAME TRANSFER CASE ISSUE AND I WOULD ADVISE THEM TO CHECK THE BOLTS! IT MAY NOT BE THE ANSWER BUT IT DEFINITELY WILL LEAD TO A MAJOR BREAKDOWN IF LEFT UNCHECKED! *JB

THE ECM RELAY MAY ALLOW SILICON VAPOR TO FORM AND, OVER TIME, THE SILICON EVAPORATES FROM THE DIODE MOLDING WHICH CAUSES SILICON OXIDE TO DEVELOP ON THE ECM RELAY CONTACT DUE TO ARCING.
Consequence & remedy

Opened Mar 30, 2026 · No close date supplied
Status: open (inferred from source dates) · Engine And Engine Cooling; Fuel System, Gasoline
The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) received a Petition dated February 5, 2026, requesting an investigation into model year (MY) 2006 Nissan Frontier vehicles. The Petitioner alleges that the vehicle poses an imminent fire hazard due to “[a] powerful and persistent odor of raw gasoline” that he says “emanates from the vehicle” and “indicat[es] a breach in fuel system integrity.” He further alleges that the vehicles can experience sudden engine stalling “during startup and operation,” which he believes could cause collisions or loss of vehicle control. The Petitioner further alleges these symptoms are identical to conditions addressed in previous NHTSA recalls (10V-517, 07V-435, and 10V-075) and that the issues persist in the 2006 MY Nissan fleet despite these past actions. ODI is opening this Defect Petition to evaluate the Petitioner’s allegations and determine whether to grant or deny the Petition. The Petition can be viewed at NHTSA.gov under NHTSA Number 11718552.

On February 29, 2012 the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) received a letter petitioning the agency to conduct a defect investigation into MY 2005-2010 Nissan Pathfinder, Frontier, and Xterra vehicles [the subject vehicles] for automatic transmission failures related to failed transmission coolers.NHTSA conducted a comprehensive review of data related to this subject. Our report, documenting this review, is available in the document file for this defect petition.It will also be published in the Federal Register. Of the 2,505 referenced complaints, 638 relate to a potential hazard (unable to maintain speed, no motive power, engine stall) and 1,867 concern customer satisfaction issues including, but not limited to, repair cost, vehicle shudder and shake, and engine overheating.Taking into account the allocation of agency resources and priorities and the likelihood that additional investigation would result in a finding that an unreasonable risk to highway safety exists, we conclude that further investigation is not warranted and deny the petition.ODI Complaint ID numbers are referenced on the next page.
