THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 91,000. *TR

COOLANT HAS ENTERED TRANSMISSION FLUID, THIS CAN CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO BECOME IMMOBILE IN TRAFFIC, INTERSECTIONS, ETC. *TR

HELLO, I HAVE A 2006 FRONTIER ON IT'S WAY TO THE DEALERSHIP RIGHT NOW HAVING THE RADIATOR & TRANSMISSION REPLACED. THAT IS CAUSED FROM THE COOLANT MIXING WITH THE TRANSMISSION. I DON'T KNOW HOW NISSAN CAN SAY THIS ISN'T A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN YOUR VEHICLE CAN STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF HIGHWAY TRAFFIC DUE TO YOUR TRANSMISSION DYING. RECALL NEEDED! THANK YOU! *TR

LAST TIME I CHANGED MY OIL ABOUT A MONTH AGO, THEY WERE CONFUSED AT WHY I HAD OIL IN MY RADIATOR. THEY SAID IT WAS NOT A GOOD SIGN! YESTERDAY WHEN I WAS DRIVING TO WORK, MY TRUCK HAD NO POWER AND IT EVENTUALLY STOPPED MOVING IN THE ROAD. THE TRUCK WAS RUNNING, BUT WOULD NOT ENGAGE IN A GEAR AND MOVE FORWARD. I HAD IT TAKEN TO A LOCAL SHOP TO LOOK IT OVER AND AFTER A TEST DRIVE AND LOOKING AT THE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR FLUIDS, THEY SAID I HAD A CROSS CONTAMINATION OF THE TWO SYSTEMS AND IT CAUSED THE PROBLEM. THEY CALLED THE NISSAN DEALER AND THEY SAID THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND THEY HAVE A LAW SUIT I CAN JOIN TO GET REIMBURSED FOR THE EXPENSE OF REPLACING THE CVT. (CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION) IT WILL COST ABOUT $4,200. I LOOKED ONLINE AND IT LOOKS LIKE NISSAN ALSO HAS AT CVT REPLACEMENT PROGRAM. I WISH I WOULD HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THIS SO I COULD HAVE HAD IT REPLACED AND NOT PUT IN DANGER. *TR

TRANSMISSION HAD BEGUN TO BUMP WHEN CHANGING GEARS. AT TIMES IT WAS HARD SHIFTING. ON 2-10-13 WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, THE TRUCK STARTED TO RUN HOT. I STOPPED AND HAD TO PUT WATER IN THE OVERFLOW TANK. CONTINUED ON THE INTERSTATE AND TRUCK DID NOT RUN HOT ANYMORE. SINCE THEN, THE TRANSMISSION HAS GOTTEN WORSE. SOME TIMES THE TRANSMISSION VIBRATES WHEN CHANGING GEARS. MANY PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN I FEEL SOME VIBRATION, DID NOT PAY ATTENTION UNTIL I GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED, I THOUGHT THAT FLUID MAY BE LOW, BUT WHEN I CHECKED I FOUND THAT FLUID WAS DISCOLORED. I TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC AND HE TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE RADIATOR LEAKING IN TRANSMISSION, AND THAT HE HAD SOME OTHER NISSAN TRUCKS SAME YEAR WITH SAME PROBLEM. HE SUGGESTED TO REPLACED RADIATOR AND FLUSH TRANSMISSION, IT COST ME $600.00, BUT NOW MY TRANSMISSION IS GETTING WORSE EVERYDAY AND WORSE OF ALL IS THAT I AM STILL PAYING FOR THIS TRUCK THAT PROBABLY IS GOING TO BREAK DOWN ANY MOMENT. I READ SOME OF THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE AND SCARED ME JUST TO KNOW THAT I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR A TRANSMISSION REPAIR PLUS CONTINUE TO PAY FOR THE LOAN OF THIS TRUCK. AND NISSAN SEEMS LIKE IS DOING NOTHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE SEND ME ANY NOTIFICATION ABOUT A RECALL, I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IT. *TR

WHEN DRIVING, A "RUMBLING" NOISE WOULD COME AND GO AND A "WHINING" NOISE WHILE ACCELERATING. THE RUMBLING NOISE WAS NOT CONSISTENT BUT WOULD SOUND LIKE A WAS DRIVING ON THE SIDE OF THE ROUND. IT WOULD USUALLY APPEAR AROUND 40-60 MPH WHEN I WOULD LET OFF THE GAS AND "COAST" AND TRY TO PRESS THE GAS AGAIN. I DID NOT KNOW THERE WAS A "WARRANTY EXTENSION". I WAS NOT NOTIFIED. TOOK THE TRUCK INTO THE SHOP ONLY TO FIND OUT MY TRANSMISSION WAS GOING OUT DUE TO THE FACT I HAVE RADIATOR COOLANT (ANTIFREEZE) IN MY TRANSMISSION FLUID; (OVER A GALLON) CAUSE BY A FACTORY DEFECT. SOMETHING TO DO WITH A TRANSMISSION PIECE GOING THROUGH THE RADIATOR AND LEAKING. MILEAGE FOR MY TRUCK IS RIGHT AT 99,800. BARELY MADE THE 100,000 MILES 3000 DOLLAR SO-CALLED NISSAN WARRANTY EXTENSION.. *TR
