2015 Nissan Frontier

BRAKE AND ACCELERATOR PEDAL PLACEMENTS AND OPERATION ARE DANGEROUS. THE BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSES TOO FAR BEFORE ENGAGING THE BRAKES AND IS TOO CLOSE TO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL TO WORK WITH THIS BRAKING CHARACTERISTIC. A BOOT OR WIDE SHOE CAN OVERHANG THE EDGE OF THE BRAKE PEDAL AND ENGAGE THE ACCELERATOR BEFORE BRAKING BECOMES EFFECTIVE. THE ENGINE RACES, YOU PUSH THE BRAKE PEDAL HARDER, DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR MORE, RACING THE ENGINE EVEN MORE... ONCE THE CYCLE STARTS YOU MUST USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE OR THROW IT INTO NEUTRAL TO PREVENT FORWARD MOTION. THEN FINALLY TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE 'BRAKE' -WHICH ALSO RELEASES THE ACCELERATOR. THE BRAKES NEED TO ENGAGE BEFORE THEY DEPRESS TO THE SAME PLANE AS THE ACCELERATOR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 NISSAN FRONTIER. WHEN THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS ACTIVATED AT APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH AND ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE, THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY DECELERATED TO LOW SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,170. ..UPDATED 06/01/16 *BF

DISCOVERED MY 2015 NISSAN FRONTIER EXTENDED CAB MODEL HAS A VERY OBVIOUS OUT OF ALIGNED SITUATION IN THE TRUCK BED. IT IS OFF ON THE DRIVERS SIDE SIGNIFICANTLY AND EASILY VIEWED WITH THE HUMAN EYE COMPARED TO THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE BED APPEARS PUSHED OVER CLOSER TO THE PASSENGER SIDE. DISCOVERED ON NISSAN FORUMS THAT THIS IS OCCURRING IN MANY OTHER FRONTIERS . TODAY WENT TO A DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED THAT THERE ARE NO KNOWN ISSUES CONCERNING THE OUT OF ALIGNMENT ON NISSAN FRONTIER BEDS. HOW COME THERE ARE NUMEROUS OCCURRENCES OF THIS SAME ISSUE AND ITS NOT BEING ADDRESSED BY NISSAN?

BF GOODRICH RADIAL LONG TRAIL T/A TIRE DOT AP72FD313914 WITH 2000 MILES ON IT ON A BRAND NEW NISSAN FRONTIER CREW CAB SHORT BED PICKUP TRUCK HAS RUBBER COMING OFF OF THE SIDEWALL OF THE TIRE. CONTACT MICHELIN ABOUT THE PROBLEM WAS TOLD TO TAKE IT TO A MICHELIN DEALER AND HAVE THEM WRITE UP A REPORT TO SEND TO MICHELIN. CAN NOT GET COSTCO TO WRITE THE REPORT AS THEY DON'T BELIEVE THERE IS ANYTHING WRONG WITH RUBBER COMING OFF OF THE SIDEWALL OF THE TIRE.

A BURNING OR HOT COMPONENT ODOR OCCURRED ON A LONG TRIP WITH THE A/C SET TO AUTOMATIC CONTROL AT 74 F WITH OUTSIDE TEMPS IN THE 80'S. THE HEAT "ODOR" WAS TRACKED TO A SECTION APPROX 2 INCHES SQUARE OF THE A/C DUCTS UNDER THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. IT APPEARS TO BE A POINT NEAR A MOTOR OR HOT SIDE OF THE EXCHANGE COIL. THE SURFACE OF THE DUCT APPEARED TO BE HOT ENOUGH TO CAUSE BLISTERING IF SKIN WERE HELD IN CONTACT FOR AN EXTENDED DURATION. A BAREFOOT PASSENGER FALLING ASLEEP COULD RECEIVE A BURN. IF CARGO OR A PURSE PREVENTS AIR FROM CIRCULATING ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE DUCT, IT IS UNKNOWN IF IT COULD GET HOT ENOUGH TO IGNITE COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS.

CHILD SEAT LATCH RESTRAINT SYSTEM DESIGN IS FAULTY FOR CREW CAB MODELS. THE ANTI TILT ATTACHMENT POINT IS LOW BEHIND THE SEATBACK ON THE NISSAN FRONTIER CREW CAB. TO ATTACH THE STRAP YOU MUST TILT THE SEATBACK FORWARD. YOU CANNOT ADEQUATELY TIGHTEN THE STRAP ON MOST CAR SEATS, SINCE ATTEMPTING TO DO SO CAUSES THE SEATBACK TO RETURN TO THE UPRIGHT POSITION AND YOU CANNOT COMPLETELY TIGHTEN THE STRAP BEFORE HAVING TO REMOVE YOUR HAND. IF THE EXCESS STRAP IS LONG ENOUGH, THE CHILD SEAT BECOMES PERMANENTLY MOUNTED, BECAUSE, THEN, YOU CANNOT TILT THE SEATBACK FORWARD TO ACCESS THE STRAP TENSION-RELEASE MECHANISM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 NISSAN FRONTIER. WHILE THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WAS OCCUPIED, THE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED FAILING TO DETECT THE PASSENGER. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE PASSENGER HAD SCOLIOSIS AND THE WEIGHT DISTRIBUTED UNEVENLY WHEN SEATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

I SENT A COMPLAINT ONCE. HAVE NOT HEARD BACK FROM YOU YET. THIS TRUCK WAS PURCHASED ON MARCH 6TH, 2015 AND DELIVERED ON MARCH 8TH, 2015 WITH MFG DEFECTS AND NISSAN REFUSES TO STAND BY THEIR WARRANTY AND REPLACE, REFUND, OR FIX THE PROBLEMS. ONE IS UNABLE TO BE FIXED AND SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A LEMON IN OREGON. THE TRUCK BED IS OUT OF ALIGNMENT BY 9MM. THE DRIVER'S SIDE HAS A LARGER GAP BETWEEN THE CAB AND BED THAN THE PASSENGER'S SIDE. THE DRIVER'S SEAT HAS A 1 INCH GAP THAT DOES NOT BELONG THERE IN THE FOLD BETWEEN THE BACK AND THE CUSHION. THIS IS UGLY AND DOES NOT MATCH THE PASSENGER SEAT. THESE ARE BOTH NOTICEABLE FLAWS BY THE NAKED EYE, VEHICLES ARE BEING SOLD WHICH ARE OUT OF ALIGNMENT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A SAFETY AND MANUFACTURE DEFECT. DEFECTS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE COVERED BY WARRANTY AND NISSAN REFUSES TO ADDRESS THESE ISSUES OR BUY BACK THE VEHICLE. THERE ARE ALSO RUSTING PARTS ON UNDERCARRIAGE, AND WAS A LEAK IN THE REAR DOOR SEAT BELT CHAMBER WHICH HAD STAINED THE SEAT BELT, AND THERE WAS GLUE APPLIED AT DEALER TO CORRECT THE LEAK ONLY THEY LIED ABOUT FIXING IT SO THEY WOULD NOT REPLACE THE STAINED SEAT BELT. YOU CAN SEE THE GLUE. *TR
