2006 NISSAN FRONTIER Complaints

FUEL GAUGE IS NO LONGER ACCURATE. NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID # 10V075000 WAS ISSUED FOR 2006 NISSAN FRONTIERS. I CALLED NISSAN BUT THEY SAID MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. APPARENTLY THEY THINK IT'S JUST A COINCIDENCE THAT I'M HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM WITH MY 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. "NISSAN IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2006 AND MODEL YEAR 2008 FRONTIER, XTERRA AND PATHFINDER VEHICLES. THE MOLDED FUEL TANK SHELLS CAN DEFORM, CAUSING THE FUEL SENDER FLOAT ARM TO CONTACT AN EMBOSSMENT MOLDED INTO THE TANK SHELL CAUSING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FUEL GAUGE TO SHOW THAT THE VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY ONE QUARTER TANK WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS EMPTY. FUEL GAUGE READS JUST UNDER A QUARTER TANK AT ALL TIMES, NO MATTER IF THE TANK IS EMPTY OR FULL. *TR

MY 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER HAS AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID IN THE RADIATOR, AND RADIATOR COOLANT IN THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. THE TRANSMISSION IS NOW SHIFTING IMPROPERLY. *TR

BRAKES CANNOT BE PROPERLY FIXED DUE TO DEFECTIVE REAR AXLE SEALS LEAKING FLUID ONTO BRAKE PADS AND CALIPERS. HAVE HAD ALL BRAKES REPAIRED AND VEHICLE STILL DOES NOT BRAKE CORRECTLY OR SAFELY. I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS CLOSE CALLS DUE TO AXLE FLUID ON THE REAR BRAKE PADS.NISSAN REFUSES TO PROVIDE A RECALL EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER, 75,000. *TR

I USE MY TRUCK EVERY DAY. I STARTED TO GETTING PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION. I DID A DIAGNOSTIC ON THE TRANSMISSION AND IT CAME THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS INFECTED AND IT NEED TO BE CHANGE. I JUST GOT THESE TRUCK LIKE 4 MONTH AGO. *TR

AT LOW SPEEDS THE TRANSMISSION STUTTERS / HESITATES. I'VE BEEN TOLD BY NISSAN THAT I NEED A NEW VALVE BODY. I BELIEVE MY VEHICLE SUFFERS FROM THE RADIATOR / TRANSMISSION ISSUES AS EXPERIENCED BY MANY OTHER CUSTOMERS. *TR

VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHIFT UPWARD AND DOWNWARD ERRATICALLY AT VARIOUS SPEEDS AND RPM. IT WOULD ALSO SHAKE AND SHUDDER LIKE THE WHOLE VEHICLE WAS ON A ROCKY ROAD -- EVERYTHING VIBRATING FROM THE FRAME TO THE STEERING WHEEL. VERY SUDDEN, ALARMING, AND DISCONCERTING. *TR

WHEN SET IN D, THE RPM'S DROPPED. NEXT DAY DRIVING 20 SEC. AND LOOSES ALL POWER. CAN SHIFT THE GEAR STICK, BUT THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT ENGAGE. NO AUDIBLE WARNING OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. JUST STOPPED DRIVING. GOT CODE P1759 AND P1769. NEEDS NEW TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR BECAUSE THE COOLANT LEAKED INTO TRANSMISSION. $5500 IS THE QUOTE FROM THE DEALER. *TR

THE RED AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND HAS REMAINED ON. ADDITIONALLY, THE ROUND YELLOW LIGHT ON THE LOWER PART OF THE DASH SHOWS PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAG NOT ON BOTH WHEN OCCUPIED AND UNOCCUPIED. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO HAVE NATIONAL PARTS SHOP CHAINS ATTEMPT TO DETERMINE THE REASON, BUT THEY ALL SAY THEY CANNOT DO SO. THE DEALER'S COST FOR ANY READOUTS IS ALWAYS COST PROHIBITIVE. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER THAT IS HAVING COMPLETE TRANSMISSION FAILURE DUE TO THE KNOWN ISSUE OF RADIATOR FLUID CONTAMINATING THE LINES TO THE TRANSMISSION AND CAUSING INTERNAL FAILURE. I HAVE BEEN QUOTED $5,000 IN REPAIRS FOR THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION. THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST NISSAN FOR THIS VERY ISSUE FOR SEVERAL MODELS. THE DEALERSHIP ACKNOWLEDGED THE LAWSUIT, HOWEVER, SAID A SETTLEMENT OR RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED AT THIS POINT AND THEY COULD NOT DISCUSS IT ANY FURTHER WITH ME. THEY SUGGESTED I TRADE THE CAR IN AND BUY ANOTHER FROM THEM, EVEN SUGGESTING ANOTHER FRONTIER. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER AND FOR THE LAST 9 OR 10 MONTHS IT BECOMES "HERKY-JERKY" AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. I ONLY DRIVE THIS VEHICLE IN THE WINTER SO YESTERDAY I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND TODAY THEY INFORMED ME THE COOLANT HAD LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THE COST FOR THE REPAIR IS $6500. I ASKED THEM IF THIS WAS SOMETHING NORMAL AND THEY SAID IT WAS UNUSUAL. I DID SOME CHECKING ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND OUT THERE WAS A SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT REGARDING THIS DEFECT. OTHER SITES DIRECTED ME TO MAKE A COMPLAINT WITH YOU BECAUSE THIS APPEARS TO BE A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM AND DUE TO THE FACT THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT WAS ESSENTIALLY WORTHLESS. GIVEN THIS I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT WITH YOU IN HOPES THIS WILL TURN INTO A RECALL. ALSO, MADE A CLAIM TODAY WITH NISSAN AND EXPECTING A CASE WORKER TO CALL BACK TOMORROW. IF THEY DO NOT AGREE TO PAY FOR THE COST OF THE DAMAGE I WILL TAKE THEM TO SMALL CLAIMS. OF NOTE, I HAVE ONLY SUED ONE ENTITY BEFORE IN MY LIFE (49YO) AND IT WAS NISSAN BACK IN 1997 AND I WON. IT WAS A DEFECT IN THE WIRING OF MY PREVIOUS FRONTIER. I CAN SAY NISSAN LIKES TO PLAY HARD BALL AND NOT SETTLE OR ADMIT TO ANY OF THEIR FAULTS. I GAVE THEM MORE THAN SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE AND WAS VERY PATIENT IN THIS PRIOR CLAIM, BUT THEY KEPT DENYING. I LEARNED MY LESSON THAT TIME AND THIS TIME I WILL NOT BE SO PATIENT AND WILL INFORM THEM I WILL TAKEN MORE EXPEDITIOUSLY THIS TIME. *JS
