I WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE A RECALL DUE TO THE VIN BUT YET WHEN I WENT ON THE SAFECAR.GOV WEBSITE AND THE ISSUE'S THAT I AM HAVING WITH MY TRUCK IS WHAT IS ON THE LIST. WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THE PLACE THAT I GET IT REPAIR WILL NOT HONOR THIS. I HAVE THE ABS/VDC WHEEL SPEED SENSOR AND THE FUEL GAUGE ISSUES. *JS
LEAKY REAR AXLE SEALS AND OR FAULTY PARKING BRAKE CAN CAUSE LOSS OF PROPERTY/LIFE. *TR
MANY PROBLEMS WITH MY 2007 FRONTIER. FIRST MY CLUTCH WENT AT ABOUT 65000 MILES . HAVE BEEN DRIVING STICK ALL MY LIFE AND NEVER NEEDED A CLUTCH. THE REAR AXEL LEAKED AND CREATED A BAD SQUEAL AND DAMAGED MY BRAKE PADS. MY LOW TIRE PRESSURE SENSORS WENT BAD AND MY HEATER CORE WENT AT 60000 MILES. I AM ALSO GETTING AN ELECTRICAL SMELL INSIDE THE CABIN. WOW NEVER HAD A VEHICLE HAVE SO MUCH GO WRONG IN LESS THAN 5 YEARS. NISSAN DEALER AND NISSAN CORPORATE BOTH REFUSED TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY OF ANY DEFECTS. *TR
BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT AXLES SEALS FAILED CAUSING GEAR OIL TO SATURATE THE REAR DISC BRAKE PADS, ROTOR AND EMERGENCY BRAKE SHOES. EXTREME DECREASED BRAKING, WHICH COULD HAVE LED TO AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS A TRUE SAFETY PROBLEM, WHICH SEEMS TO BE QUITE COMMON WITH THE FRONTIER AND TITAN PICK-UPS. *JS
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVER 45 MPH, HE APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THE PEDAL DEPRESSED TO THE FLOOR. THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A TREE AS A RESULT. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED, BUT THE CONTACT SUFFERED MINOR INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP, BUT THE CONTACT WAS NOT INFORMED WHY THE BRAKES FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 66,000.
ON 01-13-2011 I WAS DRIVING MY 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER PICK UP ON PA SR 92S. BETWEEN NICHOLSON AND TUNKHANNOCK ABS AND SLIP WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. I CALLED MY NISSAN DEALER IMMEDIATELY, EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM AND DIFFICULTIES I HAD HANDLING THE VEHICLE ON THE SNOW COVERED ROAD. I WAS TOLD THAT EARLIEST APPOINTMENT I COULD GET WAS 01-20-2011. ON MY WAY BACK, WHEN I DROVE ON ANOTHER SNOWY ROAD I APPLIED 4X4 SYSTEM BUT IT FAILED TO ENGAGE. NOW THE ABS, SLIP AND 4X4 DID NOT WORK AND I HAD HARD TIMES TO MAKE IT SAFELY HOME. I CALLED THE DEALER AGAIN A WAS AGAIN TOLD THAT I COULD GET IT FIXED ON 01-20-2011. I DECIDED TO REPORT THIS PROBLEM AND I HOPE THAT YOUR INVESTIGATION OF MY COMPLAIN WILL MAKE DRIVING, ESPECIALLY WINTER DRIVING OF NISSAN VEHICLES SAFER. *TR
PURCHASED NEW 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER-V-6, LONG WHEEL-BASE TRUCK. EXPIERIENCED BRAKE PROBLEM AT 20K MILES, REPLACED BY DEALER, HAD LOW SPEED WHINE AND BRAKE PEDAL DROP TO FLOOR AND 35 TO 40 MPH JUDDER AND VIBRATION. WENT BACK TO DEALER, THEY CHECKED AND NOTICED THE DRIVE SHAFT WAS COMMING APART, THEY REPLACED WITH NEW ONE, IDICATED IT WAS DEFECTIVE FROM VENDOR. I HAVE HAD THIS TRUCK BACK INTO DEALER FOUR TIMES SINCE WITH THE SAME RE-OCCURING PROBLEMS. THEY CAN'T FIND THE SOURCE OR THE PROBLEM. ZONE MGR. FOR MIDWEST DROVE THE VEHICLE AND INDICATED THAT THEY CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM AND THEY WILL NOT REPLACE ANYTHING ELSE. I WAS TOLD TO TAKE IT TO THE BBB IF I WANTED A SOLUTION UNDER CURRENT LEMON LAWS. HE ALSO INDICATED IT WILL PROBABLY FALL APART DOWN THE ROAD-COMPLETE AND UTTER DIS-REGARD FOR MY SAFETY. THEY ARE IN COMPLETE DENIAL THAT THEY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. IS IT JUST NOW THAT TOYOTA HAD A RECALL FOR BROKEN/CRACKED YOKES ON TACOMA'S AND NISSAN IS EXEMPT? DON'T THEY ALL BUY PARTS FROM DANA CORP.? NISSAN HAS EXPERIENCED A LARGE SALES SURGE AND ARE EXPANDING JUST LIKE GM HAD IN THE 70'S. THEY DON'T HAVE TIME/TALENT TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR PROBLEMS JUST MORE NEW VEHICLES, MORE ENGINEERING PROBLEMS, PUSH IT OUT THE DOOR AND LET THE DEALERS TAKE CARE OF PROBLEMS. THIS SOMEHOW HAS A FAMILIAR RING TO IT LIKE TOYOTA'S PROBLEM WITH ACCELERATION! KEEP RELIEING ON ELECTRONIC CONTROLS TO RUN THE VEHICLES AND TAKE AWAY CONTROL FROMTHE DRIVER. THE AUTO COMPANIES NEED TO BE INVESTIGATED FURTHER FOR SAFETY COMPLIANCE AS MADISON AVENUE COMMERCIALS ALUDE TO THE FACT THAT ALL OF THESE SAFETY FEATURES THAT ARE INCORPORATED INTO VEHICLES WORK FLAWSLEY WHEN THEY ACTUALLY DON'T! HOW MANY MORE PEOPLE HAVE TO BE KILLED OR SERIOUSLY INJURED WITH THESE SO-CALLED SAFE VEHICLES, MADE IN USA WITH CHEAP CHINA MADE PARTS! I'M SURE THERE ARE MORE VEHICLES OUT ON THE ROAD WITH THESE SAME RE-OCCURING PROBLEMS NOT BEING REPLACED OR REPAIRED DUE TO MFGR. DEFECTS AND PROBLEMS!!!
WHEN ACCELERATOR WAS PRESSED DOWN THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL ACCELERATION OF VEHICLE WHILE IN SLOW TRAFFIC. IT RACED FOR A SECOND THEN RETURNED TO NORMAL. THIS HAS HAPPENED FOUR TIMES IN THE LAST 3 MONTHS. I CHECKED TO SEE IF THE FLOOR MAT HAD POSSIBLY CAUSED THIS BUT THE FLOOR MAT WAS UNDER THE GAS PEDDLE IN THE NORMAL POSITION. *TR
WHEN PARKING '07 NISSAN FRONTIER INTO A PARKING STALL, I PRESSED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TO COME TO A FULL STOP. THE ENGINE THEN STARTED TO RACE AND MOVE THE TRUCK FORWARD. I ALREADY HAD THE BRAKE PEDAL DOWN TO THE FLOOR WITH NO RESPONSE, THE TRUCK CLIMB THE PARKING CURB AND HIT A SITGN AND THEN A PARKED CAR. COULDN'T BELIEVE THAT NOTHING COULD STOP THE TRUCK TILL IT HIT THE CAR AND THEN THE ENGINE STOPPED RACING. I HAD THE INSURANCE ADJUSTER TAKE ALOOK AT THE TRUCK AND MADE HIM PRESS THE BRAKES WHERE IT WENT DOWN TO THE FLOOR. HE THEN HAD A TOWING COMPANY TOW THE TRUCK DOWN TO THE DEALERSHIP TO PREVENT ANOTHER ACCIDENT. DEALER HAD THE TRUCK FOR A WEEK BUT COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE TRUCK. THEY NOTED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS SOFT BUT IT SHOULD BE OKAY. THEY COULD NOT GET THE MOTOR TO RACE SO THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING. THEY DID ALL THE TEST THAT THEY COULD BUT INFORMED ME THAT THEY CAN'T FIX SOMETHING THEY CANNOT FIND.
I OWN A 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE BRAKES WERE VERY SOFT MAKING SUDDEN STOPS DIFFICULT. THERE HAS NOT BEEN AN ACIDENT TO DATE - ONLY NUMEROUS NEAR MISSES. I TOOK THE VEHICAL BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH THE PROBLEM, AND WAS INFORMED THAT BRAKES WERE FINE AND THAT WAS HOW BRAKES WERE SUPPOSED TO BE ON THAT MODEL.I WAS FILING THE COMPLAIT TO ASSIT IN COLLECTION OF DATA FOR A POTENTIAL RECALL OR FORCED REDESIGN OF THE BRAKING SYSTEM.*AK
Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
