2001 NISSAN FRONTIER Complaints

ON 3-31-2003 MY 2001 NISSAN FRONTIER CAUGHT FIRE AFTER BEING PARKED FOR 4-5 HOURS. THE STATE FIRE MARSHALL SUSPECTS THE FIRE WAS ELECTRICAL IN ORIGIN. THE CAB AND BED WERE BURNED. THE FRONT END SUSTAINED NO DAMAGE. *JB

DURING HIGH WINDS IN THE RIVERSIDE,CALIFORNIA AREA THE BED LINER OF MY 2001 NISSAN FRONTIER WAS SUCKED FROM THE BED OF THE TRUCK. INSIDE OF THE BED AT THE TIME WERE PERSONAL ITEMS THAT WERE ALSO EJECTED WITH THE BED LINER. THIS TRUCK WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW ONLY 9 MONTHS EARLIER AND THE BED LINER WAS FACTORY INSTALLED AND WAS INCLUDED IN THE TRUCK ACCESSORY PACKAGE. THE BED LINER WAS DESTROYED ALONG WITH THE PERSONAL ITEMS. ALTHOUGH THERE IS NO CONFIRMATION IT APPEARS THERE COULD BE ONE FATALITY AND DAMAGE TO OTHER VEHICLES INCLUDING MY OWN ALTHOUGH MINOR, INCLUDE, SCRATCHES. *JB

THE VEHICLES GAS NOZZLE DOES NOT SHUT PUMP OFF WHEN GAS GETS TO A CERTAIN POINT. CONSUMER STATES AS A RESULT GAS GETS POURED OVER DRIVER AND VEHICLE. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION. PH

BRAKE PEDAL AND GAS PEDAL ARE TOO CLOSE TOGETHER. CONSUMER APPLIED BRAKE PEDAL AND HIT THE GAS PEDAL INSTEAD, ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. *NLM. *AK

I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE UNPLANNED SERVICE VISITS. MY NISSAN FRONTIER SC IS 18 MONTHS OLD. THE GAS TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO IMPROPER INTERNAL GEOMETRY. THIS CAUSED FUEL TO GUSH OUT OF THE TANK AFTER FILLING...CERTAINLY A SAFETY HAZARD. THE FUEL LEVEL INDICATION INSTRUMENT SHOWED INCORRECT FUEL LEVEL AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS NOT NECESSARILY A SAFETY ISSUE, BUT IS STILL AN ISSUE, NONETHELESS. AN ABS SENSOR FAILED, WHICH RENDERED THE TRUCKS ABS SYSTEM INOPERABLE...ALSO A CRUCIAL SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE HAD TWO FRONT END ALLIGNMENTS AND HAVE ALREADY REPLACED ALL FOUR TIRES ON THE TRUCK AFTER ONLY 33,000 MILES. THIS COULD ALSO POTENTIALLY LEAD TO UNSAFE TRAVEL. LAST, BUT NOT LEAST, THE PASSENGER SIDE POWER WINDOW MECHANISM FAILED. ALL OF THESE CONDITIONS WERE REMEDIED BY THE DEALER. BUT, AFTER BEING NOTIFIED OF ALL OF THESE ISSUES WITH ONE OF THEIR NEW VEHICLES, NISSAN HAS ONLY RESPONDED WITH A GENERIC, "SORRY."

CONSUMER FEELS THE VEHICLE IS CONSUMING TOO MUCH OIL. CONSUMER STATES' VEHICLE IS BURNING 1 QUART PER 1000 MILES. CAUSE IS UNKNOWN. TOOK TO NISSAN AND THEY SAID IT WAS NORMAL. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION. TS

CONTINUAL & INTERMITTENT VERY LOUD NOISE IN AREA OF CLUTCH, THROWOUT BEARING AND/OR PILOT BEARING ON STARTUP. ONLY GOES AWAY AFTER RELEASING CLUTCH PEDAL.

CONSUMER STATES THAT AFTER THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN PARK AND NO WARNING THE ENGINE CAUGHT ON FIRE UNDER THE HOOD CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE. DEALER NOTIFIED. MR

THIS IS ONE OF TWO 2001 FRONTIERS I OWN. BOTH HAVE HAD PREMATURE WEAR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE INSIDE FRONT BRAKE PAD. ALL OTHER PADS WERE FINE ON BOTH TRUCKS. IT SEMS THE PAD BCOMES LODGED IN THE CALIPER AND DOES NOT RETRACT WHEN THE BRAKE IS RELEASED.*AK
