NHTSA Complaint #10553147 — 2005 NISSAN FRONTIER

DRIVING HOME FROM POST OFFICE IN AUGUST 2010 TRUCK WOULD NOT EXCEED 35 MPH AND STARTED TO SHAKE INTENSELY. I GOT IT TOWED TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED $9500 TO FIX, I WAS OVER MILEAGE BY ABOUT 1500 MILES SO ALL OUT OF POCKET. I PARKED IT IMMEDIATELY DUE TO LACK OF FUNDS, MUCH DUE TO A $565 PAYMENT FOR A $30K NEW TRUCK FOR 5PLUS YEARS. NISSAN NORTH AMERICA DENIED ME ANY ASSISTANCE, AND WAS ACTUALLY MORE RUDE THAN THE HAVE THE LEAST BIT OF EMPATHY WHILE I WAS TOLD I DID REACH THE TOP PERSON WHO WAS THE FINAL SAY. MANY MONTHS PASSED AND I REPLACED THE RADIATOR AND OTHER THINGS, SO IT APPEARED AS I SAVED THE TRANS FROM HARM BY PARKING IT BUT NOW AT 98000 MILES THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON CODING AN AT BRAKE ISSUE WHILE THE TRANNY IS GETTING JUMPY AND SLUGGISH AGAIN. QUICK SEARCH RETURNS A BIG EXPENSE AND CROSS CONTAMINATION MOST LIKELY DID OCCUR AND CAN END UP COSTING ME WELL OVER $40000 IN THE LONG RUN FOR A MIDSIZE TRUCK THAT I HAVE OWNED AND TOOK GOOD CARE OF SINCE NEW AND I CANT EVEN GET RID OF IT NOW EXCEPT FOR LOSING EVEN MORE MONEY...VERY UNHAPPY AS AN OWNER OF 4 NISSANS IN MY TIME I REALLY EXPECTED A QUALITY PRODUCT, NOW I WORRY ABOUT WHEN IT COULD GO, AS I WAS RECENTLY LAID OFF I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY FOR REPAIRS OR ANOTHER CAR. *TR
