Takata recall. A poor design led to the engine coolant slowly leaking into the transmission and ruining it causing it to need to be replaced. Nissan said it was not their problem and i had to pay for the whole thing.

Nissan transmission destroyed by engine coolant leak. Had no problem with transmission until one day, shifted into drive and transmission was stuck in higher gear. Thought it was electrical. Turned the car off then back on. Would not engage in reverse, but forward was back to normal.

My radiator failed and contaminated the transmission with coolant causing the transmission to fail. The truck has 108,000 miles but the technician that replaced the transmission and radiator said that it had been mixing for a while so it is difficult to say how many miles the vehicle had at the time of the failure. It cost me $4750 to repair. This is a common problem with nissan frontiers.

They justified their convenient bureaucratic bs by telling me that in oct…

Nissan's rear axle design for the frontier is faulty, utilizing a bleeder valve that clogs causing seals to fail. Failed seals cause differential oil to leak leading to axle wear, among other issues. Oil leak also spreads all over breaks leading to possible break failure. My axles were replaced in 2012 (along with breaks due to oil damage), now i'm being told (2015) that axles need to be replaced again. I believe…
