2011 NISSAN FRONTIER Complaints

WHEN APPLY THE BRAKES DONT STOP FIRMLY. IN PAIR OF TIMES INVOLVED IN POSIBLE DEAD PEOPLE THATS WALK IN ROAD.WHEN APPLY BRAKES ARE GOING DOWN TO THE TOP OF THE FLOOR.

IPDM RELAY OR IPDM BOARD ISSUE AT 78K, TOTAL NO CRANK NO START AND VEHICLE DRIVING ISSUES

LEAD SPRING SNAP FOR NO REASON AFTER TAKING A NICE SUNDAY DRIVE I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS JUST HERD A RATTLE ON THE DRIVER SIDE IT WAS A CLEAN SNAP STRAIGHT ACROSS ON THE MIDDLE LEAF SPRING? DRIVING ON 106 HWY NEW HAMPSHIRE

CRANKSHAFT SENSOR WENT BAD AT 70,000 MILES. RESULTED IN ENGINE SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING WHICH RESULTED IN LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKE BOOSTING. LUCKILY HAD JUST TURNED ONTO A RESIDENTIAL ROAD SO HAD SPACE TO STOP TRUCK.

I WAS DRIVING MY TRUCK AS NORMAL WHEN I HEARD A CHATTER FROM THE GEAR SHIFT.. I LOST ALL POWER IN THE LOW GEARS AND IT WOULD TAKE 45 SECONDS TO GET TO 60 MPH. I DROVE IT A SHORT WAY LIKE THAT AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I PARKED MY TRUCK FOR A FEW HOURS AN WHEN I WENT TO DRIVE IT BACK HOME THE PROBLEM SEEMED TO BE FIXED AND WAS DRIVING NORMAL. I STARTED MY DRIVE HOME AND AFTER 50 MILES I COULD SMELL SOMETHING BURNING SO I STARTED TO GET OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AT THAT POINT I LOST ALL POWER AND THE TRUCK WAS DEAD. IT WOULD NOT START AND I HAD TO CALL FOR A TOW TRUCK TO GET MY FAMILY AND I HOME. I WAS WATCHING THE TEMPERATURE AND OIL PRESSURE GAUGES ON THE DASH AND THEY WERE NORMAL SO IT WAS A SURPRISE TO ME WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC AND HE TOLD ME THE PROBLEM HAPPENED BECAUSE THE LOWER PART OF THE RADIATOR THAT COOLS THE TRANSMISSION CRACKED LEAKING RADIATOR FLUID INTO THE TRANSMISSION. THIS CAUSED ALL THE PARTS TO SWELL UP CAUSING THE COMPUTER TO BURN UP, SENSORS TO FAIL. I SPENT OVER $4000 ON PARTS AND LABOR TO GET THIS FIXED. THAT INCLUDED A REBUILD KIT, BAND,PISTON, EXCHANGE REBUILT TORQUE CONVERTER, NEW VALVE ASSEMBLY, RADIATOR, RADIATOR CAP, FRONT PUMP BUSHING, CRANK SENSOR,REVOLUTION SENSOR, AND ALL THE LABOR. THERE WERE KNOWN ISSUES OF THIS EXACT PROBLEM AND EARLIER MODELS UP TO 2010. THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT ABOUT IT. WELL THE PROBLEM IS STILL THERE ON THE 2011 MODEL. I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED FOR ALL MY COST SINCE NISSAN KNEW ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND STILL MADE A INFERIOR PRODUCT THE FOLLOWING YEAR. THEY DID NOTHING TO ADDRESS THIS ENGINEERING FLAW EVEN THOUGH THEY HAD COMPLETE KNOWLEDGE OF THE PROBLEM. THIS COULD OF BEEN AVOIDED BY HAVING A SEPARATE TRANSMISSION COOLER . NISSAN WAS NEGLIGENT FOR LETTING THIS DESIGN GO TO MARKET WHEN THEY ALREADY KNEW IT WAS AN ISSUE. IT SHOULD OF BEEN RESOLVED ON THE 2011 BUT IT WASN'T,

BOTH REAR AXLES ARE LEAKING AT 60,265 MILES. I WAS TOLD THIS COULD LEAD TO BRAKE PAD CONTAMINATION WHICH WOULD REDUCE BRAKING CAPABILITY AS WELL AS THE EFFECTIVENESS O THE PARKING BRAKE.

YEA I GOT A NISSAN FRONTIER NEW AND MY WARRANTY IS UP DUE TO 5 YEARS BUT UNDER 60000 MILES AND THE TRANSMISSION WENT BAD.. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY WANT ABOUT 7500 FOR TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT...I WAS DRIVING NEXT THING YOU KNOW ON THE FREEWAY I PRESS ON THE PEDAL IT REVS HIGH BUT DOESN'T GO ANYWHERE... THIS IS SO SAD I THINK THEY MAKE THE CAR KNOWING THAT IT WOULD GO BAD AFTER THE SHORT WARRANTY I DIDN'T FIX MY TRUCK YET BECAUSE THE PRICING IS WAY TOO HIGH TO AFFORD AFTER BUYING THE TRUCK

AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN TURNING ON FOR NO REASON WHETHER THE CAR IS PARKED OR RUNNING. TOOK IT TO SERVICE THEY RESET IT AND WENT ON AGAIN

THE VEHICLE FRONT AIRBAG LIGHT CONSTANTLY FLASHES FOR NO REASON. IT BLINKS WHILE STATIONARY OR IN MOTION. IT WAS RESET BY THE NISSAN SERVICE TECH, BUT STARTED FLASHING AGAIN AFTER 5 MINUTES ON THE HIGHWAY.

SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ON A SMOOTH COUNTY ROAD WITHOUT A COLLISION AT APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH. DRIVER ONLY IN THE VEHICLE, EARS ARE RINGING. HAD TO CUT THE AIR BAGS TO BE ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE HOME. IN DRIVE WAY, UNUSABLE AT THIS POINT. SEAT BELT RETRACTORS ACTIVATED SO CANNOT USE SEATBELT AT THIS POINT.
