2006 NISSAN FRONTIER Complaints

WHILE DRIVING MY 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER THE TRUCK WOULD NOT RESPOND TO THE ACCELERATOR BEING PRESSED AND THEN BEGAN JERKING. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND IT HAS BEEN DOING THIS FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND HE SAID IS WAS THE RADIATOR LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND DESTROYING THE TRANSMISSION WHICH NISSAN KNOWS ABOUT THE DEFCT BUT HAS CHOSEN NOT TO FIX. IF I WAS TRAVELING AT A HIGH SPEED ON THE INTERSTATE AND THE TRUCK DID NOT RESPOND TO THE ACCELERATOR AND STARTED TO JERK A COLLISION WOULD HAVE HAPPENED. THE FACT THAT NISSAN KNEW ABOUT THIS DEFECT AND CHOSE NOT TO INFORM ME OF THE PROBLEM CAUSES CONSIDERABLE ALARM.

SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, HAD A NISSAN DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSE AS A "FUEL LEVEL SENSOR " IS BAD. THAT THEY STATED IT'S NOT COVER UNDER ANY WARRANTIES, WHICH THIS PART HAS BEEN RECALLED IN THE PAST. NISSAN SHOULD EXTEND THE RECALLS TO INCORPORATE MORE VEHICLES WITH THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE.

THE TRUCK HESITATED TO MOVE AT A STOP. (IT DRAGGED REALLY HARD AND IT WAS SLOW) PER MY SON DESCRIBED, NOT SURE IF HE WAS ON THE FREEWAY OR THE STREET WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO MY MECHANIC. ON TUE OCTOBER 25, 2016. AFTER DIAGNOSED, HE TOLD ME THE TRANSMISSION WAS FAILED. IT NEEDS TO BE REBUILT OR BUY A NEW ONE. THE COST FOR A REBUILT ONE IS $2,800 AND A NEW ONE FROM NISSAN DEALERSHIP IS $5,000. I DECIDED TO GO FOR A REBUILT ONE. THIS HAPPENED ON TUE OCTOBER 25, 2016. THIS TRUCK I BOUGHT USED IN MARCH 2016 AT 114,674 MILES FOR $10,000. I WENT ON LINE TO SEARCH FOR SOMETHING RELATED TO NISSAN FRONTIER 2006 TRANSMISSION AND I FOUND OUT THE WEBSITE RELATING TO THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. I DID CONTACT NISSAN OF NORTH AMERICA ON WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 26, 2016 AND THEY TOLD ME TO SEND IN THE INVOICE AFTER THE REPAIR FOR REIMBURSEMENT. UNTIL THE REIMBURSEMENT TAKES PLACE, I AM STILL NERVOUSLY WAITING.

TRANSMISSION IS BINDING DUE TO COOLANT LEAKING INTO TRANSMISSION. FLUID IS BUBBLED AND LOOKS LIKE POACHED EGG CAUSING OVERHEATING. TRANSMISSION COLOR IS NOT CORRECT, SAME PROBLEM AS UNDER INVESTIGATION

DRIVING ON A TRIP TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING AND JERKING. HAD TO DRIVE SLOW IN THIRD GEAR WITH IT STILL SLIPPING. RADIATOR FLUID WAS FOAMY. TRUCK STILL IN DRIVEWAY. FOUR TO FIVE HOUR TRIP ON HIGHWAY WITH SOME HILLS DIDN'T THINK I WOULD MAKE IT HOME. A FEW YEARS BACK WE RECEIVED A SERVICE NOTICE OF FAILED RADIATOR. TOOK TRUCK TO NISSAN AND THEY WOULD NOT REPLACE UNLESS THERE WAS A PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. WHILE DRIVING UP AN INCLINE AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE JERKED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE RADIATOR WAS LEAKING COOLANT INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND THE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE RADIATOR WAS REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE IGNITION WAS TURNED TO THE ON POSITION, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE RADIATOR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 133,000.

EVEN THOUGH MY FUEL TANK IS FULL MY GAGE SHOWS IT IS EMPTY. THIS PROBLEM STARETED LONG TIME AGO AND I BEEN TOLD SOME NISSAN FRONTIERS ARE COVERED BY FACTORY FOR FAULTY FUEL SENSOR AND SOME AREN'T. PLEASE ADVISE WHAT IS THE BEST OF GOING FORWARD. THANKS ALLEN
