2006 NISSAN FRONTIER Complaints

HAVING MAJOR ISSUES. NOTICED A RECALL BUT IT WAS ALREADY SETTLED. WHAT CAN I DO? RADIATOR AFFECTING THE TRANSMISSION.

I HAVE A APPARENTLY COMMON PROBLEM WHICH IS RADIATOR TRANSMISSION CROSS CONTAMINATION APPARENTLY WITH NISSAN FRONTIERS AND XTERRAS FROM ABOUT 05-2010 AND THE PROBLEM IS THEY USED A RADIATOR WITH A BUILT IN TRANSMISSION COOLER BUT THERE'S A SEAL OR AREA WHERE IT FAILS AND THE TWO FLUIDS MIX RESULTING IN A STRAWBERRY MILKSHAKE APPEARANCE AND WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE TRANSMISSION WILL LIKELY FAIL AT ANY POINT I'VE PERSONALLY HAD PROBLEMS THAT WERE INTERMITTENT OVER THE LAST FEW WEEKS WITH TROUBLE SHIFTING AND A SHUDDERING/RUMBLING WHICH OCCURS WHILE DRIVING IN ALL WEATHER AND ROAD CONDITIONS PLUS IS VERY NOTICEABLE WHILE GOING FROM A STOP TO START MOVING TURNS OUT TO BE RADIATOR FLUID LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION MY TRUCK HAS 99,000 MILES ON IT AND HAS STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS JUST NOW WHICH ACCORDING TO OTHER ACCOUNTS ON MULTIPLE FORUMS ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM IS A LITTLE LATER THAN MOST BUT I HAVE A SHORT COMMUTE TO WORK AND HAVE ANOTHER CAR I USE. SO PERHAPS IT WAS THAT. BUT THE ISSUES ARE GETTING WORSE AND IT'S A SHAME THAT THE COMPANY KNEW OF THE PROBLEM AND DID NOTHING TO REMEDY IT. ESPECIALLY AS IT AFFECTS MANY YEARS AND MODELS OF CARS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO RATTLE AND SHAKE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE DEALER (REED NISSAN, 3776 W COLONIAL DR, ORLANDO, FL 32808) WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 193,000.

FUEL GAUGE RECALL. NISSAN HAS A RECALL ON THE FUEL GAUGE FOR THE 2006 FRONTIER BUT IT DOES NOT INCLUDE MY VIN. MY FUEL GAUGE HAS EXACTLY THE ISSUES IN THE RECALL. MY VIN IS [XXX]. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

LETTING MY FRONTIER MAJOR PROBLEM LAST WEEK 100MILES AWAY FROM HOME FOR WORK. MY FRONTIER WON'T ACCELERATE CUTTING OF SPEED. HAS WEIRD SMELL TO IT. TRUCK WAS TOWED NISSAN HERE DIAGNOSED WITH FUEL PUMP PROBLEM, TRAMISSION AND RADIATOR HV TO BE REPLACED COSTING $7000.00 06 FRIONTIER CREW CAB, 96000MILES THINKING WHEN NISSAN KNEW ALL THIS ABOUT WHY NOT THEY FIXING IT. I DON'T HAVE THESE MONEY, LAST YEAR HAD PROBLEM WITH NISSAN I WENT BOUGHT NEW RAV4 START TELLING MY FRIEND NOW STAY OUT OF NISSAN

RADIATOR/COOLANT HAS MIXED INTO TRANSMISSION FLUID CAUSING TRANSMISSION FAILURE.

THE FUEL SENSOR IS NOT RELAYING ACCURATE FUEL LEVELS. WHEN VEHICLE IS NEAR EMPTY TANK THE TANK FUEL GAUGE WILL OFTEN STILL READ 1/4 TANK LEVEL. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINS ON WHICH CODES ALERTED ON DIAGNOSTICS RELAY BACK TO THE SENSOR ISSUE. THE PROBLEMS IS NOW WORSENING WHERE EVEN AT FULL TANK THE GAUGE WILL SOMETIMES INDICATE EMPTY WITH FUEL ALERT LIGHT ON AND TANK JUST TOPPED OFF. THE IMPROPER FUEL INDICATION HAS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO RUN OUT OF FUEL SEVERAL MILES FROM A GAS STATION WHILE STILL SHOWING 1/4 TANK LEVEL. THIS CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS AS BEING STRANDED IN NC IN PEAK OF SUMMER TEMPS OUTSIDE CAN REACH OVER 100 DEGREES. FURTHERMORE STALLING OUT FOR LACK OF FUEL IN BUSY CITY TRAFFIC OR SHARP TURN ON HIGHWAY AT 60-70 MHP CAN LEAD TO A VERY DANGEROUS ACCIDENT.

2006 NISSAN FRONTIER - A DEFECT THAT PERMITS CROSS-CONTAMINATION OF ENGINE COOLANT AND TRANSMISSION FLUID, ULTIMATELY CAUSING THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION TO NEED SUBSTANTIAL REPAIRS OR FAIL ENTIRELY. THE TRUCK WAS IN MOTION ON A HIGHWAY. WHEN ACCELERATING THE TRANSMISSION DID NOT DOWNSHIFT - IT FELT AS IF THE TRANSMISSION WENT INTO NEUTRAL.

BOUGHT A 2006 FRONTIER A YEAR AGO, I WAS UNAWARE OF THE MAJOR DEFECT THEY WERE HAVING WITH THE RADIATOR CRACKING AND MIXING COOLANT WITH TRANNY FLUID. NOW MY TRANSMISSION IS SHOT WITH NO WARNING AND I'LL BE OUT 4/5K !! IT WENT OUT AS I WAS TRYING TO TURN LEFT AND ON COMING TRAFFIC WAS COMING AT ME. I COULD NOT ACCELERATE AS OBVIOUSLY WITHOUT A TRANSMISSION YOUR CAR WONT GO INTO GEAR, JUST A SITTING DUCK WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC BARING DOWN. THANKFULLY THE PEOPLE SPEEDING TOWARDS ME SEEN ME BEFORE I WAS SMASHED INTO AND POSSIBLY KILLED.
