2007 Nissan Frontier Problems

In December 2023 I noticed a bad discoloration of the coolant in my 2007 Nissan Frontier. I took the truck to the local Nissan dealership and had them flush the coolant system. There were no warning lamps or messages. There were no other symptoms or problems prior to that. Receipt available for this service. Then in May 2023 the transmission began shifting extremely hard. Upon checking the coolant it was the consistency of strawberry milkshake. The truck was taken to a local transmission shop and they rebuilt the transmission assembly along with replacing the radiator and flushing the system. This work was completed June 3, 2024. Receipt is available for this service. With continuing to see the coolant have a consistency of strawberry milkshake, I reached out to the local Nissan dealership for them to tell me there had been a recall for this. Upon doing further research, I have learned there actually wasn't a recall but an extended warranty offered that Nissan did not willingly let owners know about. $4,500.00 later I still have the same problem I started with and am fearful this truck will fail as I'm driving on the highway and am concerned about my safety. Nissan knew when they flushed the coolant in December 2023 of this problem and said nothing. Vehicle is available for inspection upon request.

Radiation system and transmission

Fuel level sending unit failed with code. Fuel gauge shows empty or at 1/4 full when full.

This is known problem you refused to force Nissan to recall. At a minimum Nissan should have been required to notify owners of the problem. They did not. My radiator has failed allowing coolant to mix with the transmission fluid destroying the transmission. I have 96,000 miles on my vehicle. I would have gladly paid out of pocket to replace the defective radiator to save the transmission, but since I was not notified of the problem, now I have to potentially replace the transmission.

Symptoms began as random hard shifts, then progressed to a sudden loss of power and high rpms. If the vehicle was turned off and on, the transmission would engage and you could drive a couple hundred feet before it began slipping again. I used this tactic of turning it off and on again to get the vehicle off of the highway. Vehicle has not been sent to shop as of yet. Taking a turn, my Nissan Frontier 2007 suddenly stops right in the middle of the street causing traffic jam, I was lucky enough not to be t-boned with my kids seating on the back. Nissan knew about is but never advised costumers about it to open a recall campaign. Need help with this. Truck was bought brand new at the dealer.

The contact owns a 2007 Nissan Frontier. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: NHTSA Campaign Number: 23E012000 (Air Bags) and would like to be removed from the recall distribution list. The local dealer and manufacturer were contacted.

Two weeks ago I received a recall for an airbag emblem issue for my vehicle. I set an appointment and in the time leading up to my appointment the airbag warning sensor came on. When I went in for the recall they repaired the recall but the warning light did not go off. They stated that there are two issues with my airbag the emblem was not the cause of the sensor going off. They claim it is the airbag module. They would not cover that repair even though the emblem led to the airbag module going bad. This is the second airbag recall on airbags( previous was in 2008). The cost for an airbag module is over $1000 and I find that unacceptable.

I BOUGHT THE 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER OFF A DEALERSHIP AS A USED VEHICLE WITH NO WARRANTY. ONE WEEK LATER THE TRANSMISSION STARTED TO SLIP, THE FOLLOWING WEEK THE SLIPPAGE WAS WORSE UNTIL IT LOST POWER AND IT LEFT ME STRANDED IN A PARKING LOT. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND HE SAID THAT IT'S A POSSIBILITY THAT THE TRANSMISSION COMPUTER HAD GONE OUT AND IT WOULD BE CLOSE TO $5,000 DOLLARS TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. THE TRANSMISSION FUSE KEEPS BLOWING OUT ONCE THE TRUCK IS STARTED. THE MECHANIC SAID IT COULD BE A POSSIBILITY THAT IT WAS CROSS CONTAMINATION SINCE NISSAN WAS KNOWN FOR FAULTY RADIATORS. SO I'M STUCK WITH A TRUCK PAYMENT THROUGH A LOAN WITH A TRANSMISSION OUT AND I CAN'T EVEN DRIVE IT. THERE ARE THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE FROM PEOPLE HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE.

TRANSMISSION AND COOLANT FLUID CONTAMINATION DUE TO FAULTY RADIATOR!

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

MY FRONTIER HAD A FLAT TIRE AND WHEN MY SPARE TIRE WAS LOWERED, THERE WERE 4 SPOTS OF THE TIRE THAT HAD BEEN WORN THROUGH THE SIDE WALL. I TRIED ANOTHER TIRE FROM A 2011 FRONTIER AND THE TIRE WAS THE SAME EXACT WAY. THE WAY ITS MOUNTED IS THE PROBLEM. *TR

I WAS TRAVELING SOUTH ON HIGHWAY 94 GOING HOME FROM MY CLASS. THE ROAD WAS SLIGHTLY WET FROM SNOW PRIOR IN THE DAY. I WAS GOING ABOUT 60MPH WHEN MY VEHICLE FELT AS IF MY BACK TIRES WERE SPINNING OR MAKING LIKE A QUICK SLIP. IT CONTINUED DOING THIS SO I SLOWED DOWN TO 45MPH. WAS STILL HAPPENING REPEATEDLY. OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL MONTHS IT CONTINUED, I WAS THINKING I MIGHT NEED NEW TIRES, EVEN THOUGH THE ONES I HAD ON THE TRUCK SEVERAL PEOPLE SAID THEY WERE FINE. WHEN THE WEATHER WARMED UP AND WE NO LONGER HAS SNOW I DIDN'T NOTICE THE "QUICK SPIN OF MY TIRES" ISSUE AS MUCH. I PURCHASED NEW TIRES IN NOVEMBER OF 2013 AND STILL AM EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. IT'S A VERY SCARY FEELING, YOU DON'T KNOW IF YOUR GOING TO HAVE YOUR TIRES SPIN QUICKLY LIKE THAT AND GO INTO A FULL SPIN AND ROLL. ALSO YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN ITS GOING TO HAPPEN, IT JUST DOES IT WHEN IT WANTS TO. *TR

YOU HAVE TO CALL THE DEALERSHIP NISSAN IN ALBUQUERQUE NM ON LOMAS I TOOK THE TRUCK IN AND IT'S GOING TO BE ABOUT 5,000 TO FIX. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY ON 7/13/2019 I FELT MY TRUCK JERKING/TUGGING WHICH HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. ON 7/14/2019 THE 'SERVICE ENGINE' LIGHT CAME ON AND THE JERKING WAS MORE NOTICEABLE, I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALER FOR SERVICE ON 7/16/2019 AND I WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS COOLANT MIXED IN WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND THE TCM EVENTUALLY FRIED SINCE IT IS HOUSED INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION, APPARENTLY THE TRANSMISSION COOLING HOSES ROUTE TO THE RADIATOR AND THE ONLY REMEDY IS TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AND THE RADIATOR. I SEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO. THE PROBLEM

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSE THAT THE RADIATOR HOUSING FRACTURED WHICH CAUSED THE RADIATOR FLUID TO PENETRATE THE TRANSMISSION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 125,000.

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

Car accident put at risk to not be safe and defend myself with no air bag malfunction body suspension up to 4 car incident in major intersection. No warning lamps that appeared.

FRONT LOWER CONTROL ARM FAILURE, REPLACEMENT REQUIRED. RECALL 10E019000 IS NOTED AND DID NOT INCLUDE THIS SPECIFIC VIN. THE FAILURE DIAGNOSED AT 114K MILES BUT WAS FELT IN THE IRREGULAR HANDLING MOVEMENTS FROM THE FRONT END WHILE STOPPING AND TURNING. DEALER REPLACED STRUTS AND LOWER CONTROL ARMS DUE TO FAILURE. I BELIEVE THIS FAILURE WAS PREMATURE TO THE LIFE OF WHAT SHOULD BE EXPECTED FROM THESE ITEMS FROM THE DIFFERENCE AFTER REPAIR THESE CONTROL ARMS WERE NOT 100% I RETAINED THE OLD PARTS FOR EVALUATION OF FAILURE DUE TO POOR CONSTRUCTION OR DESIGN. THE DEFECT WAS NOTICED AS A ;OUD CLUNGING NOISE DURING TURNS.

Car accident put at risk to not be safe and defend myself with no air bag malfunction body suspension up to 4 car incident in major intersection. No warning lamps that appeared.

The frame has excessive rust causing weakness in the trucks support. Furthermore causing driveline vibration issues and eventually the cab and bed will snap at the weak point. Seems to be the same issue the Nissan Navaras have that were built in Spain and the manufacturer has recongnized the issue outside of the U.S.

MY TRUCKS STEERING SYSTEM IS MAKING A LOUD NOISE WHEN TURNING AND GOING OVER BUMPS AT LOW SPEED. WHEN MY TRUCK IS RAISED UP AND I TURN THE STEERING WHEEL THERE IS NO NOISE. WHEN I LOWER IT DOWN ON THE GROUND AND TURN THE WHEEL WHEN PARKED IT MAKES THE LOUD NOISE. I CHECKED RECALLS AND THERE SEEMS TO BE ONE FOR SOME STEERING WHEEL ISSUE, BUT WHEN I CALLED NISSAN THEY SAID MY VEHICLE WAS NOT AFFECTED BY THAT RECALL. AFTER READING CUSTOMER REVIEWS, MY VEHICLE IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS THAT THOSE CUSTOMERS VEHICLES WERE HAVING THAT WERE AFFECTED BY THE RECALL. I AM CURIOUS IF NOT ENOUGH COMPLAINTS FILED FOR THIS SPECIFIC YEAR. BECAUSE WHY WOULD MY VEHICLE STEERING BE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES AS THE VEHICLES THAT WERE HAVING THAT WERE LISTED ON THE RECALL. I REALLY DON'T WANT TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE AND RISK HAVING MY STEERING GO OUT BECAUSE OF A DEFECTED PART. MY VEHICLE IS BABIED AND LOOKS LIKE BRAND NEW STILL. ALWAYS BEEN KEPT INSIDE GARAGE DURING WINTER . THIS IS THE FIRST WINTER IT HAS BEEN DRIVEN IN SNOW AND WE HAVE HAD SNOW ONLY A COUPLE TIMES.

I HAD JUST FILLED MY TANK WITH FUEL. I PULLED OF THE LOT OF THE STATION INTO TRAFFIC, NOTICE MY FUEL GAUGE DIDN'T NEVER REGISTER THE FUEL JUST ADDED. MOMENTS LATER THE LOW FUEL LIGHT CAME ON AND THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT ALSO. I CIRCLE BACK TO THE STATION WHERE THE FUEL WAS PURCHASE AND THE TRUCK BEGAN TO SPUTTER. I RETURN TO THE STATION AND PROCEEDED TO THE CLERK THAT SOLD ME THE FUEL AND EXPLAINED WHAT HAPPEN. I WAS THINKING IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL. CLERK STATED SHE WOULD RECORD MY CLAIM/ I LEFT THE STATION AND PROCEEDED TO DRIVE HOME WHERE I ARRIVE SAFELY. *TR

MY FRONTIER HAD A FLAT TIRE AND WHEN MY SPARE TIRE WAS LOWERED, THERE WERE 4 SPOTS OF THE TIRE THAT HAD BEEN WORN THROUGH THE SIDE WALL. I TRIED ANOTHER TIRE FROM A 2011 FRONTIER AND THE TIRE WAS THE SAME EXACT WAY. THE WAY ITS MOUNTED IS THE PROBLEM. *TR

MY VEHICLE HAS THE LOW TIRE AIR PRESSURE SENSOR. ALL 4 OF THE TIRES LEAK BECAUSE THE VALVE STEMS ARE CRACKING INTERNALLY. THE VALVE STEMS ARE $100 EACH PLUS LABOR TO INSTALL THEM. SOFT TIRES ARE UNSAFE AND COULD BLOW OUT CAUSING ACCIDENTS AND INJURY. THESE SHOULD BE RECALLED. NISSAN SAYS THEY WON'T HELP. *TR

DRIVER SEAT BELT DOESN'T RETRACT. PASSENGER FRONT AIRBAG WARNING LIGHTS ON. A/C SWITCH HAS DEAD SPOT POSITION #2.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES WERE VERY FOGGY AND THE BULBS WERE NOT VISIBLE. THE FAILURE BEGAN A YEAR AGO AND WORSENED OVER TIME. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 86,000.

FIRST NOTICEABLE COMPLAINT IS THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION THAT DOES NOT SHIFT BACK DOWN IN LOWER GEAR WHEN CLIMBING A HILL. IT JERKS AND SHAKES AT THAT MOMENT.SECONDLY, THE TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR DOES NOT GO OFF AFTER CORRECTING THE TIRE PRESSURE AND KEEPING IT CONSTANT. WERE TOLD THE DEALER WILL HAVE TO RESET,WHICH THEY DID ONCE AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN SO FOR 2 YEARS WE HAVE JUST LIVED WITH IT, KEEPING CHECK ON TIRE PRESSURE THE OLD WAY. LAST BUT DEFINITELY NOT LEAST FOR THIS IS THE COST FACTOR INVOLVED, IS THE ALIGNMENT CANNOT BE DONE DUE TO NEEDING TO PURCHASE AND HAVE INSTALLED 4 CAMBER KITS! NISSAN SHOULD HAVE DONE THIS ALREADY FOR A $25,000 VEHICLE!! OH AND FINALLY THIS JUST HAPPENED BUT THE REAR PASSENGER POWER WINDOW SWITCH WENT COMPLETELY OUT! *TR
