NHTSA Complaint #10511225 — 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER

I AM WRITING THIS ON MAY 9, 2013. ABOUT A WEEK AGO MY 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER EXPERIENCED SLOW ACCELERATION. I PUT IT IN 1ST AND DROVE SLOWLY FOR 1/4 MILE THEN TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. WHEN I TURNED ON IGNITION, GEAR SHIFT WAS LOCKED. I UNLOCKED MANUALLY AND TRIED TO START. NOTHING. ENGINE WILL NOT CRANK. NO LIGHTS ON DASH. I TOWED IT MY LOCAL MECHANIC WHO TRIED SOME ELECTRICAL WORK. NOTHING SO HE THOUGHT A TRANNY FAILURE PUT TRUCK IN FAILSAFE. AAMCO COULD NOT START IT SO THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE. TOWED IT TO NISSAN. THEY WANTED TO CHANGE TRANNY FOR $8000 NEW OR $5000 USED. TOO MUCH MONEY FOR A VEHICLE W/ 110000 MILES. I TOWED IT OUT TO ANOTHER TRANSMISSION PLACE AND THEY FIRST THOUGHT IT WAS THE STARTER! THEY CHANGED THE STARTER, NOTHING DOING. OF COURSE JUMP START IS NOT WORKING SO ITS NOT THE BATTERY. IM NOW STUCK. PREVIOUSLY TRUCK HAD STALLED ONCE ON THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 60000 MILES AND WOULD ONLY DRIVE ON GEAR #1. TOOK IT TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANY PROBLEM WITH TRANNY BUT THEY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. LATER AT ABOUT 101K THE TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING AND NISSAN FOUND THAT THE ANTIFREEZE HAD LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION. THEY WANTED TO GIVE ME $2500 TOWARD A $7300 REPAIR. THEY ALSO OFFERED TO GIVE ME EMPLOYEE PRICING ON A NEW FRONTIER BUT I DONT WANT ANOTHER FRONTIER, SO I REFUSED AND INSTEAD TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC. HE PUT IN A NEW RADIATOR AND FLUSHED THE TRANSMISSION. EARLIER AT ABOUT 46000 MILES, THE FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING AND THE FUEL SENDER WAS CHANGED. NISSAN REFUSED TO HELP AT THAT TIME BUT LATER INITIATED A RECALL AND COMPENSATED ME FOR THE EXPENSE. ITS BEEN ALL PAIN WITH THIS TRUCK WHICH I BOUGHT "NEW" FROM A DEALER WITH ONLY 300 MILES ON IT. HELP. *TR
