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

FUEL GAUGE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. I BROUGHT THE TRUCK TO DEALER AND THEY DETERMINED IT WAS DUE TO FAULTY FUEL LEVEL SENSOR SENDING UNIT. COST: $511. *TR THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL SINCE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE IN THAT I COULD RUN OUT OF GAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND POSSIBLY BECOME INVOLVED IN A COLLISION. *TR

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

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

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.
