I NOTICED THERE IS MAJOR SAFETY RECALL ON MY VEHICLE MODEL AND YEAR FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM, I'VE CALLED THE DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK NEW, BILL RAPP NISSAN, SYRACUSE, NY AND ANOTHER LOCAL DEALER , BURDICK NISSAN, NORTH SYRACUSE, NY AND THEY BOTH INDICATED THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT ON THEIR VEHICLE RECALL LIST. MY UNDERSTANDING OF THIS RECALL IS THAT THEIR IS VERY SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERNS THAT, IF IN AN ACCIDENT, POTENTIALLY MY AIRBAGS WOULD NOT DEPLOY. *TR

NISSAN ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE SENDING UNIT IN MODEL YEARS 2004-08 WAS FAULTY, CAUSING THE UNIT TO SEND FAULTY INFORMATION ON FUEL LEVELS AND CAUSING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON. THEY OFFERED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM, BUT WHEN I CONTACTED THEM, THEY SAID MY VIN# WASN'T COVERED - EVEN THOUGH IT IS THE YEAR MODEL AFFECTED WITH THE PROBLEM. NO SUCH RESTRICTION ON VIN# S IS PRESENTED ON THEIR WEBSITES. IT IS ONLY AFTER I TRIED TO GET THE PROBLEM REPAIRED THAT THEY DENIED COVERING IT, EVEN THOUGH IT IS A KNOWN DEFECT. I APPEALED ALL THE WAY TO CORPORATE AND GOT NOWHERE. I BELIEVE THEY ARE SIMPLY TRYING TO DODGE PAYING FOR A REPAIR THAT IS THEIR OWN MANUFACTURING FAULT. *TR

THERE IS SOME SORT OF EMISSION CONTROL BEHIND THE REAR TIRES. IT SEEMS TO GET PLUGGED AND ENGAGES MY SERVICE LIGHT TO COME ON. WELL SINCE I LIVE ON A DIRT ROAD IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO KEEP IT FROM BEING PLUGGED. I'VE HAD TO HAVE IT REPLACED THREE (3) DIFFERENT TIMES. IT REALLY IRRITATES ME. *TR

THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED AN AIRBAG FLASHING LIGHT ON THE DASH AS A FAULTY SEAT BELT RETRACTOR AT ABOUT 33,000 MILES AND TOOK CORRECTIVE ACTION. THEY INSISTED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED AND SAID THAT IT IS NOW COVERED UNDER PARTS WARRANTY. OVER THE NEXT 15,000 TO 20,000 MILES THE FIXED IT TWO MORE TIMES AS A SEAT BELT RETRACTOR, HOWEVER THE LAST TIME THE LIGHT BEGAN TO BLINK I TOOK THE VEHICLE AND THEY GAVE ME A NEW CAUSE OF THE LIGHT. I WAS THEN TOLD IT WAS THE PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAG SENSOR AND THAT IT WAS FAULTY AND THAT IT WOULD COST ME 1200 DOLLARS TO FIX. I KNOW THAT NISSAN HAS RECENT PROBLEMS WITH AIR BAGS AND IN THE PAST THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON THE EAST COAST CONCERNING FRONTIER AIRBAGS. I WOULD GUESS THAT NISSAN CORP. HAS LARGER ISSUE WITH AIR BAGS AND HAS BEEN COVERING THEIR TRACKS FOR YEARS. I KNOW I CAN'T AFFORD THE $1200 REPAIR BILL TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND THAT NOW I AM RELUCTANT TO HAVE A PASSENGER IN THE SEAT. I DOUBT THAT YOUR AGENCY WILL HAVE A REMEDY FOR THIS PROBLEM, AS I HAVE LITTLE FAITH IN AN AGENCY OF GOVERNMENT TAKING ON A CORPORATION AS LARGE AS NISSAN. *TR

I JUST HAD TO HAVE THE RADIATOR REPLACED AND THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION REBUILT AT A COST OF ALMOST $3,000 IN MY 2008 NISSAN FRONTIER SE 4V 2.5 WITH ONLY 84,000 MILES BECAUSE OF THE CROSS CONTAMINATION. ACCORDING TO CARCOMPLAINT.COM, THE AVERAGE OWNER IS BECOMING AWARE OF A PROBLEM AT 94,565 MILES. IF NISSAN WOULD HAVE RECALLED THE RADIATORS IMMEDIATELY UPON KNOWLEDGE OF THE DEFECT, IT WOULD HAVE SAVED THEM FROM DEALING WITH NUMEROUS TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENTS AND CUSTOMER SATISFACTION CONCERNS. I BROUGHT MY TRUCK TO THE NISSAN DEALER AND I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT THE PROBLEM WAS NOT CAUSED BY CONTAMINATION AND I SHOULD GET HELP FROM NISSAN WHO LATER ON DENIED HELP FOR ME. THE NEXT DAY I BROUGHT MY NISSAN FRONTIER TO A SHOP EXPERT IN TRANSMISSIONS AND THEIR DIAGNOSIS WAS THAT THE FAILURE IN MY TRANSMISSION WAS CAUSED BY AN "ANTI-FREEZE CONTAMINATION, CODE 1751". NISSAN KNEW THAT THEY HAD A FAULTY RADIATOR AND INSTEAD OF RECALLING THE RADIATOR, THEY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY KNOWING THAT THE MAJORITY OF THE CARS WOULD SURPASS 80,000 MILES BEFORE THEY STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION. NOW LOOKING AT HIGH COST TO FIX THE TIMING CHAIN COVER SEAL. NISSAN KNOWS ABOUT BOTH OF THESE ISSUES AND IS NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY AND WON'T HELP. *TR
