MY COOLANT MIXED WITH TRANSMISSION FLUID. CAUSING IT NOT TO ACCELERATE. NISSAN MECHANIC SAYS IT'LL COST 6000 DOLLARS TO COMPLETELY FIX. ABSURD!!!!!! 120,000 MILE VEHICLE.

TRANSMISSION HAS WATER IN IT FROM THE RADIATOR LEAKING INTO IT NOW I HAVE TO REPLACE MY TRANSMISSION.

NOTICED SHAKING IN PASSENGER SIDE FRONT TIRE. TOOK TO TRANSMISSION SHOP AFTER DOING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS OF WORKED TO THE FRONT END. TO FIND OUT THAT THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION WERE MIXING FLUID. SHOP TOLD ME TRANSMISSION IT IS DONE AND MUST BE REBUILT AND RADIATOR MUST BE REBUILT. BEEN TOLD THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE FRONTIER.

WHEN ATTEMPTING TO FILL THE TANK WITH GASOLINE AT SEVERAL DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS, THE LIQUID CAN NOT BE PROPERLY DISPENSED INTO THE TANK BECAUSE OF A BLOCKAGE. THE LIQUID IMMEDIATELY SPEWS OUT OF THE GAS TANK AND ONTO THE PERSON FILLING THE VEHICLE.

THE COOLER TUBES FOR THE TRANSMISSION AND THE RADIATOR CRACKED, ALLOWING FOR FLUID TO LEAK INTO THE TRANSMISSION. THIS RESULTED IN RAPID DEGRADATION OF THE FRICTION ELEMENTS WITHIN THE TRANSMISSION. THE FRONTIER IS NOW UNDRIVABLE.

THIS VEHICLE HAS KNOWN TIMING BELT ISSUES. THE VEHICLE STARTS MAKING A LOUD NOISE(WHINING) THAT GETS LOUDER AS I DRIVE FASTER ON ANY ROAD. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND NISSAN HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. IT WILL COST OVER 2400 DOLLARS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AND NISSAN DOESN'T SEEM TO RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE

HAVING THE SAME ISSUE THAT OTHER FRONTIERS WERE RECALLED FOR. GAS GAUGE IS UNRELIABLE AND THE ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON. OTHER FRONTIERS MANUFACTURED JUST THREE MONTHS BEFORE OURS ARE ON RECALL BUT NOT OURS. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A NISSAN ISSUE AS WELL DOCUMENTED ON VARIOUS BOARDS AND WEBSITES.
