My frontier died on 12/6 / on 12/7/2015, i had it towed to the boardwalk nissan and paid $100 to have the problem diagnosed. I was told the repairs would cost $10,500.

He said no, the problem happens. I then had the truck towed home.…

Like so many other nissan frontier owners, the radiator coolant got mixed with the transmission fluid. This is factory defect known by nissan. Had to replace radiator and transmission since the car was not responding well and was not able to run properly. Called nissan three times to ask for some financial support and they denied it. *tr

Was driving 2007 nissan frontier when 4wd light came on and check engine light came on. Slowed down and came to a stop. When i tried to accelerate, there was no response. Apparently, transmission is ruined due to a known defect with the radiator where coolant leaks into the transmission. Nissan never issued a recall for the radiator assembly, just extended the warranty to 100,000 miles, leaving the consumer…

When driving along the truck lost power then when the truck was turned back on the motor made a loud noise. Now the repairman tells me the truck needs a new motor. It has not given me any trouble before. It is not a work truck it's a pleasure truck. I'm retired. With that low mileage you would think the motor would be better than that. I hope you can help me. Thank you *tr

I have a 2007 nissan frontier which has only a 122,431 miles on it and something went wrong with the transmission. When i was going up the hill it was like it just stalled out on me. I've been doing research on it and it seems like alot of other people is having the same problem and it seems like nissan is just trying to hide the problem. If its something that their at fault with they should be the one who fixes it.…

So i had the tires balanced then re balanced thinking it was the tires. Even went as far as replacing the rear tires. After that did not correct the issue i then took it to a nissan dealership and they determined that it was a failure in the radiator that leaked…

The automatic transmission started shifting "hard" and the heater stopped working. I took it to a local shop and they told me that the radiator fluid had contaminated the transmission fluid, and visa versa. I needed to have a transmission shop look at it. They told me the same thing as the previous shop, but also that i would be needing a new transmission and radiator system, at the cost of $4848.00. This was due to…

The transmission had been shuttering and slipping for a couple of months. It was getting worse so i took it to kings transmission on 3-13-14 to have it looked at. They discovered water in the fluid and informed me that this model of vehicle had a wide spread problem with the radiator failing and leaking coolant into the transmission cooling lines. The truck is now at a nissan dealer getting a new transmission and…

I was driving my truck when it began to slip at round 45 mph. The shifting then became very hard. I looked on-line and saw websites discussing transmission/radiator problems. I opened my radiator and saw it was very milky in color. Took it in to the dealership and told that i needed a new radiator and transmission because of a known problem. *tr

I purchased this truck from a used car auto dealer with 137,477 miles on it. Their warranty was up before i was aware i had a serious problem that got progressively worse. While driving locally and on the highway at speeds between 35 and 65 mph the truck started to shake and vibrate intermittently which caused an erratic control of the truck. After approaching several auto repair shops about the issue no one seamed…

Diagnosed as a failed transmission cooler which allows coolant to mix with the transmission fluid, causing internal damage to the components. There was no warning prior to this catastrophic event - it just all of a sudden happened. The entire transmission and radiator had to be replaced at a cost of $7,000 - nissan did not cover $3,000 of this as they said it was a "deductible" - how can you have a deductible on a…

Radiator crack caused transmission failure we have 81,000 miles on the truck so they want us to have to pay 2500+ dollars for a 6 year old truck for which we had a 100,000 mile warranty/72 month warranty and on which we paid hundreds of dollars for every major mileage inspection and service. Nothing was done to tell us or warn us of this. People will also lose resale value because no one will want to buy the…

Truck begin shuttering and shifting hard. Took it to nissan and they said the coolant had mixed with the transmission fluid and i will need new transmission and radiator. Cost about 5500.00. Nissan service told me the first time everything was okay. Only after i took it in the second time after i had 100,000 miles then they told me about the leak. Nissan refused to pay for any of this. *tr
