I was merging onto highway interstate 85 in traffic that was flowing at speeds of approximately 75-80 mph, and the vehicle failed to shift out of third gear. This incident forced me to take immediately action and pull to the side of the road, which put my life in danger during rush hour traffic. I learned from the nissan dealership that the transmission in vehicles that were manufactured the same year, make and…

Known issues with faulty radiators is causing it to fail and mix antifreeze into the transmission causing the transmission to fail.. The result is a ~$9200 bill from your dealership for a new transmission and radiator.. Nissan absolutely refused to take ownership of this issue making me the owner of my 4th nissan truck to pay.. *tr

Both left and right axles seals failed causing gear oil to saturate the rear disc brake pads, rotor and emergency brake shoes. Extreme decreased braking, which could have led to an accident. This is a true safety problem, which seems to be quite common with the frontier and titan pick-ups. *js

I had been noticing my automatic truck shutter before thumping into gear months before i actually took the truck into the nissan dealers shop for analysis. When they inspected, i was told my transmission had been damage due to contamination by engine coolant and i would need a new transmission. The source of the contamination is a cracked atf line that runs through an engine coolant chamber in the radiator. This…

My transmission failed due to radiator coolant mixing with my transmission fluid. Nissan knew about the factory defect but failed to notify the consumers or replace the transmissions. Nissan was involved in a class action lawsuit and increased the transmission warranty to 10 years or 100k miles. But they required the customer to provide a co-pay of $3000.00 (which is ridiculous). However i noticed symptoms of my…

Transmission failed while driving in very busy traffic. Maximum 20 mph, while everybody else was driving 55+ mph. Transmission failed without warning leaving my son and i scared to death- if i had been merging into interstate traffic we would have been run over, maybe even killed. Nissan refuses to acknowledge issue with the radiator/transmission fluid cooling system. I hope nobody dies as a result of the defect or…

About 2 weeks ago i started to feel as if the truck was not shifting correctly, soon after that the check engine light came on and i brought it right in to our regular service station. A diagnostic check revealed code p0717 for a turbine revolution sensor and i was told to take it to the dealer. The nissan dealer did their own diagnostic (no test drive) and found it to be a bad value body, as well as bad timing…

Transmission. We were passing a car when it started to come in our lane. I tried to accelerate out of its way. The transmission shuttered and would not accelerate. Lucky for us the driver saw us at that last second and got back in his lane avoiding an accident. *tr

The transmission cooler located in the radiator failed and now radiator has transmission fluid in it and the transmission has water in it. Both are ruined and dealer says it is $9000. Apparently this is a known defect only covered up to 80000 miles and nissan needs to fix this. If it was a known issue, it could have been fixed for a few hundred bucks. Thank you

The radiator in the vehicle ruptured, allowing coolant into transmission. This led to loss of power, hard shifting, and slippage while accelerating. Contacted nissan, they informed me warranty had been extended but i was 1,600 miles over their arbitrarily extended limit. They suggested i contact the dealer for assistance. The delaer repeated that it was outside of warranty period, and estimated repair costs at…

I am the original owner of a 2007 nissan frontier with 114,000 miles. I took my car into the local nissan dealership for service due to transmission issues. Their assessment astounded me. They informed me that the transmission and radiator needed to be replaced due to a known manufacture defect in the radiator causing antifreeze to be spilled into the transmission. The quoted repair was over $6000.00. This is my…

Nissan radiator/transmission cooler needs to be replaced at a cost of $3,000 for vehicles up to 100,000 after a class action suit was done. Nissan is acknowledging the problem and i feel this should be cause of a recall and that nissan should pay the full cost to replace. This cost represent 1/2 of the kelly blue book value on the vehicle. The vehicle is non-operable. The cost also represents about 15% of what the…
