2006 NISSAN FRONTIER Complaints

FUEL GAUGE ON MY 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER QUIT WORKING. I SEE I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE BY FAR TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM. *TR

2006 NISSAN FRONTIER DOOR LATCHES BECOME NON-FUNCTIONAL WHEN TEMPERATURE DROPS TO FREEZING. DOOR LATCH AND HANDLE LOCKS UP MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO ENTER OR EXIT THE VEHICLE. HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES LAST WINTER AND HAS CONTINUED AGAIN EVERY TIME IT FREEZES. HAVE TO ENTER AND EXIT THROUGH PASSENGER SIDE DOOR MAKING SITUATION A SAFETY RISK. NISSAN WILL NOT COVER IT OUT OF WARRANTY AND IN DOING SOME RESEARCH ON THE TOPIC, HAS NOT SUCCESSFULLY FIXED THE PROBLEM IN OTHER CONSUMERS VEHICLES STILL UNDER WARRANTY. SEEMS TO BE APROBLEM IN BOTH FRONTIER AND TITAN MODELS.

I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER NISMO I HAVE HAD 3 FUEL "SENDING UNITS" REPLACED AND HAVE ONLY 21000 MILES ON THE TRUCK. THIS IS DUE TO VERY ERRATIC AND SOMEWHAT UNSAFE DEFECTIVE EQUIPMENT IE; GAS GAUGE/SENDING UNIT. I RECENTLY HAD IT REPLACED FOR THE THIRD TIME AND IT IS NOW WORSE THAN BEFORE. I AM VERY FRUSTRATED AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A UNIVERSAL PROBLEM WITH THE GAS GAUGE/SENDING UNIT. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A RECALL AND THIS PROBLEM FIXED ONCE AND FOR ALL. THANKS *TR

PURCHASED A USED 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER 9/18/09 FROM FRESNO ACURA. APPROX 2 WEEKS LATER I DROP IT BACK OFF AT THE DEALERSHIP, DUE TO THE HEATER NOT WORKING & A SHUDDER IN THE TRANSMISSION. FINDINGS RADIATOR/TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER RUPTURED AND FLUID LEAKED INTO TRANSMISSION & VICE VERSA, I FOUND OUT THAT TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS GOING INTO RADIATOR. DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT HONOR TRANSMISSION WARRANTY DUE TO THE RADIATOR NOT BEING UNDER WARRANTY AND TRANSMISSION CONTAMINATION WAS EFFECTED BY RADIATOR . THIS IS SO WRONG, UNJUST AND CORRUPT. POSSIBLE DAMAGE RANGES FROM $3000-$6000. A CONSUMER SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE TO PAY THIS FOR THIS KIND OF DAMAGE THAT WAS AFFECTED BY A DEFECTIVE PART THAT SHOULD OF BEEN RECALLED OR CORRECTED. A PERSON PAYS APPROX $23,000 FOR A NEW VEHICLE AND SHOULD NOT HAVE TO DISH OUT ANOTHER 3 -4 THOUSAND DOLLARS ON A 3 YR OLD VEHICLE . THIS IS BAD BUSINESS AND WILL GIVE THE NISSAN A VERY BAD REPUTATION. *TR

"I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. I HAD 1/4 OF A TANK OF GAS AND WENT TO FILL UP. AFTER FILLING UP MY GAS TANK, I TURNED ON THE CAR, AT WHICH POINT THE NEEDLE DID NOT REGISTER THE FULL TANK. AFTER DRIVING A COUPLE MILES, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I WENT DIRECTLY TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS A FUEL SENDING UNIT/SENSOR AND THAT IT WAS NO LONGER COVERED AFTER 41K MILES. AFTER RETURNING HOME AND DOING RESEARCH, I WENT ONLINE TO X.NISSANHELP.COM AFTER PERFORMING A SEARCH, I CAME ACROSS MANY OTHERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. APPARENTLY IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE FUEL SENDING UNIT. A SIMILAR PROBLEM WAS FOUND ON THE 2000-2004 XTERRA MODELS AND A RECALL WAS PERFORMED WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD STOP AFTER NOT GETTING ANY FUEL, POSING A GREAT DANGER. IT SEEMS THAT SOMETHING IN THE UNIT IS FAULTY AND WILL CORRODE OVER TIME. THERE IS A GENERAL CONSENSUS THAT EVERYONE WHO IS HAVING THE PROBLEM IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME THING AFTER HAVING THE VEHICLE FOR OVER 2 YRS AND WITH AROUND 39K-49K. IF THIS PROBLEM EXISTED IN PREVIOUS MODELS, AND IT WAS RECALLED, THE 2005-2007 XTERRAS, FRONTIERS, AND PATHFINDERS SHOULD GET THIS FIXED AT NO CHARGE TO THE CUSTOMER!! WHY WAIT FOR ACCIDENTS AND POSSIBLE DEATHS, ESPECIALLY SINCE THE PROBLEM LIES IN AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE VEHICLE. COST OF REPAIR RANGES FROM $300-600." *TR

2006 NISSAN FRONTIER 40,000 MI. GAS GAUGE NOT WORKING SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT STAYS ON. *TR

DEFECT ON LEVEL SENSOR OF THE FUEL TANK, CAUSED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON, AND THE FUEL METER TO MALFUNCTION. THIS DEFECT COULD LEAD TO RUN OUT OF GAS AT ANY TIME PUTTING ANY PASSENGER IN DANGER WHILE IN THE HIGHWAY. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH NISSAN PATH FINDER, FRONTIERS AND MANY OTHERS ESPECIALLY 2005 TO 2007 MODELS. NISSAN DEALERS ARE CHARGING ABOUT 600.00 DOLLARS TO FIX SOMETHING THAT THEY DO DEFECTIVE AND CONTINUE TO DO DEFECTIVELY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT UPON ENTERING THE VEHICLE HE NOTICED THAT HE COULD NOT MANEUVER THE STEERING COLUMN. THE LOSS OF POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING INCREASES THE RISK OF VEHICLE CRASH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE TO THE DEALER AND A TECHNICIAN REPLACED THE STEERING COLUMN. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 36862.

I WAS DRIVING MY TRUCK (NISSAN FRONTIER) LAST NIGHT WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING. THIS LIGHT WILL NOT GO OFF. THEN WHEN I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP TODAY I WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE COST TO REPAIR THE AIRBAG COMPONENT AND THEY WANTED OVER 400 DOLLARS TO FIX THE ISSUE. THEY STATED THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PART AND IT IS OKAY TO DRIVE THE TRUCK THE WAY IT IS. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE ANY LONGER IN THIS TRUCK. *TR
