2005 NISSAN FRONTIER Engine Problems

I WAS DRIVING ALONG ON A MAJOR INTERSTATE AT 65 MPH WHEN MY ENGINE WAS REVVING UP TO ABOUT 3500 OR 4000 RPM BUT MY SPEED WAS DROPPING. I PULLED OVER TO THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE ROAD, STOPPED AND TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF. HAD I NOT BEEN IN THE RIGHT LANE OF THE MAJOR INTERSTATE WHEN TRAFFIC WAS VERY LIGHT, I COULD HAVE HAD A MAJOR ACCIDENT. EVERYTHING SEEMED NORMAL EXCEPT THE LOW COOLANT LEVEL IN THE RESERVOIR BOTTLE. THERE DID NOT APPEAR TO BE ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE ENGINE SO THEN I PLACED THE TRUCK INTO DRIVE AND MOVED THE VEHICLE FORWARD. AS THE VEHICLE PICKED UP SPEED AND AT ABOUT THE 35 TO 40 MPH THE TRUCK ENGINE WOULD REV UP BUT THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING AND NOT ALLOWING THE TRUCK TO MOVE ANY FASTER. WHEN I TOOK THE SCREW OFF THE TRANSMISSION DIPSTICK TO SEE...

THIS ISSUES IS WITH A 2005 NISSAN FRONTIER LE. SHUDDERING AT APPROXIMATELY 40-45 MPH (SEEMS TO BE WHILE SHIFTING) AND SOMETIMES BETWEEN 80-85 MPH. THE SOUND AND FEEL OF THIS SHUDDERING IS VERY SIMILAR TO DRIVING OVER HIGHWAY HAZARD SPEED BUMPS. I INITIALLY THOUGHT THAT ROAD WORK HAD BEEN DONE IN CERTAIN AREAS AND DIDN'T REALIZE THE EFFECT WAS EMANATING FROM MY TRUCK. LOSS OF HORSE POWER AND MILES PER GALLON ARE ALSO A SYMPTOM OF THIS ISSUE. SOME JERKING MOVEMENTS IN THE LOWER RANGES OF SHIFTING. DURING THE SHUDDERING IT FEELS AS THOUGH THE TRANNY IS TRYING TO CATCH THE NEXT GEAR. IF I ACCELERATE OR DECELERATE PASSED THE ABOVE RANGES THE SHUDDERING SUBSIDES TILL THE NEXT TIME I CROSS THOSE RANGES. THIS DESCRIPTION IS OF THE FINAL SYMPTOMS AT THEIR VERY WORST FOR MY INDIVIDUAL EXPERIENCE, LEADING UP TO THIS POINTS HAS BEEN GRADUAL SIGNS OF THE SAME...

I NOTICED AS I WAS DRIVING VEHICLE STARTED TO HAVE SHAKING OR VIBRATING/JERKING ( AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS), IT SEEMS TO HESITATE WHEN I INCREASE SPEED. MY TECHNICIAN THINKS SOMETHING IS GOING ON WITH TRANSMISSION OR TORQUE CONVERTER. CONCERNED VEHICLE MAY BREAK / STOP RUNNING. *TR

THE RADIATOR FAILED CAUSING THE THE TRANSMISSION FLUID TO GET CONTAMINATED WITH COOLANT. THIS CAUSED THE TRANSMISSION TO FAIL RESULTING IN A NEARLY $5,000 BILL. *TR

PASSING OTHER VEHICLE ON I-45 TOWARDS DOWNTOWN AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH THE ENGINE EXPERIENCED INTERMITTENT STALLING. I WAS IN DANGER TO CRASH OTHERS WITH PROBLEMS TO GET OUR OF THE HIGH SPEED LINES. AT THAT MOMENT THE ENGINE TOTALLY STALLED ,. FINALLY I WAS ABLE TO REACH THE EXTREME RIGHT LINE AND PULL OUT WAITING FOR A COMPLETE STOP. I TRIED TO RESTART THE ENGINE BUT NO HELP. I DID NOT BELIEVE IT BUT WANTED BE SURE THAT NO LACK OF FUEL WAS THE ORIGIN BECAUSE I ALREADY HAD THE PROBLEM WITH FUEL SENDING UNIT PROBLEM WHICH DO NOT WORK PROPERLY TO ACCURATELY SHOW HOW MUCH FUEL IS ON THE FUEL TANK. I GOT SOME EXTRA FUEL. WE RETURNED AND POURED THE 1 GALLON CAN , THEN I TRIED TO STAR THE ENGINE. IT CRANKED BUT NO STARTING. I CALLED MY INSURANCE REQUESTING TOWING SERVICE . I TRIED TWO MORE...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, SHE ATTEMPTED TO MAKE A TURN AND THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED AND RESUMED NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED UNDER A VOLUNTARY RECALL ISSUED BY THE MANUFACTURER PERTAINING TO THE ECM RELY. THE REMEDY REPAIR FAILED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THE FAILURE RECURRED AFTER THE REPAIR WAS PERFORMED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 116,088.

WE WHERE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE TRUCKS ENGINE STARTED TO MAKE NOISES AND LOSING SPEED. IT DIDN'T GIVE ANY WARNING, AND IT COMPLETELY STOPPED RUNNING. THE MECHANICS DIAGNOSTIC WAS " C/S TRANSMISSION WONT MOVE AND MIL IS ON.VEHICLE NEEDS A TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR DUE TO AN INTERNAL LEAK FROM THE COOLING SYSTEM IN TO TRANSMISSION" WE TOOK IT TO THE NISSAN AGENCY BECAUSE OF THE WARRANTY BUT THEY REFUSED TO RESPECT THE WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH I HAVE I HAVE TWO DIAGNOSTICS FROM DIFFERENT MECHANICS EXPLAINING THAT I HAVE THAT SAME PROBLEM, NISSAN IS NOT MAKING ITS SELF RESPONSIBLE EVEN THOUGH ITS TRUCKS HAVE A FACTORY DEFECT. *TR

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...

RADIATOR RUPTURED AND COOLANT LEAKED INTO TRANSMISSION CAUSING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AND HAD TO BE FIXED. TRANSMISSION PERFORMANCE DECLINED AND THEN COULD NOT DRIVE VEHICLE. *TR

SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER/STALLING. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL AS ANTI-SLIP LIGHT. TOOK VEHICLE SAME DAY TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP. TRUCK ACTUALLY STALLED ON THE WAY TO THE DEALERSHIP HOWEVER I WAS ABLE TO GET IT STARTED AGAIN. DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A BAD CAM SHAFT SENSOR. SENSOR WAS REPLACED. THEY ALSO MENTIONED THAT TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS CONTAMINATED WITH ENGINE COOLANT. SUGGESTED REPAIR WAS TO REPLACE THE RADIATOR AND THE TRANSMISSION-$4800. I CHOSE TO JUST REPLACE THE CAM SENSOR. THREE DAYS LATER, 8/9, LOST POWER AT HIGHWAY SPEED. RADIATOR AND HOSES LEAKED AND HAD TO BE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. AGAIN DEALERSHIP SUGGESTED REPLACING THE RADIATOR AS WELL AS THE TRANSMISSION. REPLACED RADIATOR AND HOSES, FLUSHED TRANSMISSION TWICE. I PLAN TO DISPOSE THE TRUCK. THERE WERE NO WARNING SIGNS PRIOR TO THESE TWO INCIDENTS. MY OPINION IS THAT THIS IS DEFINITELY A MANUFACTURING/ENGINEERING DEFECT. *TR

I STARTED NOTICING MY AUTOMATIC NISSAN FRONTIER HAVING PROBLEMS SHIFTING GEARS AROUND NOVEMBER OF 2012. I EVENTUALLY TOOK THE TRUCK INTO A DEALERSHIP TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT AFTER RECEIVING PAPERWORK IN REGARDS TO A LAWSUIT NISSAN IS ENCOUNTERING DUE TO RADIATOR LEAKS. WHEN I TOOK THE TRUCK INTO THE DEALER THEY TOLD ME THIS DID NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH RADIATOR LEAK. THEY QUOTED ME 5,000 IN REPAIRS. I DID NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX THE PROBLEM SO I CONTINUED TO DRIVE IT UNTIL JULY 12TH IT FINALLY GAVE OUT. I WAS GETTING OFF OF THE FREEWAY AND AS I WAS STOPPING AT THE RED LIGHT TO GET OFF OF THE FREEWAY THE TRUCK STARTED TO FEEL LIKE IT WAS GOING TO GIVE AND IT STARTED SHAKING, IT JERKED SUDDENLY AND ALMOST CAUSED THE CAR BEHIND ME TO CRASH INTO MY BUMPER, I PUT A LITTLE...

MY 2005 FRONTIER HAS NEVER GIVEN ME ANY PROBLEMS UNTIL 2 DAYS AGO. THE TRANSMISSION STARTED MESSING UP. I CAME UPON A 4 WAY STOP & WHEN I WENT TO CROSS THE ROAD IT WAS LIKE I HAD IT IN NEUTRAL. I PULLED OVER & STOPPED THEN TRIED TO START AGAIN & IT DID THE SAME THING. I'VE SINCE HEARD & READ ABOUT ALL THE PROBLEMS INVOLVING THE COOLANT & TRANSMISSION. THE QUOTES I HAVE RECEIVED TO FIX THIS ARE OUTRAGEOUS. NISSAN SHOULD RECALL THESE VEHICLES BECAUSE THEY KNOW THEY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THEM. NOT A HAPPY CUSTOMER ANYMORE. *TR

AS SUPPLEMENT INFORMATION TO THE FOLLOWING CLAIM FORM, I ORIGINAL HAD WALLACE NISSAN IN STUART ESTIMATE REPAIR COSTS, AND SUBSEQUENTLY TOOK MY VEHICLE TO LOCAL MECHANIC MONTERY TRANSMISSION FOR FOLLOW UP QUOTE ON 1/29/13. MONTERREY ORDERED A REPLACEMENT PART FROM NISSAN, WHICH PROVED TO BE FAULTY ON INSTALLATION. APPEARS THERE WERE NO OTHER PARTS AVAILABLE NATIONWIDE, SO WALLACE BACK ORDERED ON NISSAN, WHICH HAD TO INCLUDE IN A PARTS SHIPMENT FROM JAPAN. PART WAS FINALLY DELIVERED VIA WALLACE EARLY MARCH 2013. JOB COMPLETED AND PICKED UP 3/13/13. AN UNUSUAL DELAY, HAPPY MY MOTORCYCLE WAS SERVICEABLE. NISSAN FRONTIER, 2005, SUBMITTED CLAIM #[XXX], MAJOR PARTS REPLACED, VALVE BODY #31705EA50B, RADIATOR #3196, MASTER KIT #N173004AF, TOTAL COST $3665.48. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE 2005 NISSAN FRONTIER NISMO 4X4 THAT I WAS DRIVING STARTED SLIPPING AND MISSING CAUSING MY ENGINE TO SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING. THE ENGINE BECAME VERY JUMPY AND COULD NOT BE CONTROLLED. HAD THERE BEEN OTHER PEOPLE ON THE ROAD, THERE COULD HAVE BEEN A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT. *TR

MY 2005 NISSAN FRONTIER HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE RADIATOR THAT ALLOWS COOLANT TO ENTER THE TRANSMISSION WHICH IS CAUSING MAJOR DAMAGE TO THE INTERIOR PARTS OF THE TRANSMISSION CAUSING IT TO NOT SHIFT THROUGH THE GEARS. NISSAN IS ONLY WILLING TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY TO 100,000 MILES AND $3000 FOR THE REPAIRS OF THEIR DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS. *TR

MY TRUCK BEGAN DISPLAYING SYMPTOMS OF CATASTROPHIC TRANSMISSION FAILURE. FOR EXAMPLE, GEAR SLIPPAGE AND SHUDDERING AS IF ROLLING OVER RUMBLE STRIPS. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND THEY FOUND THE COOLANT HAD TRANSFORMED INTO A THICK PINK SUBSTANCE. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT A SEAL HAD FAILED IN THE RADIATOR CAUSING COOLANT TO MIX WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. THIS THEN BAKED INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION. WE REPLACED THE RADIATOR AND SO FAR HAVE DELAYED THE INEVITABLE REPLACEMENT OF THE TRANSMISSION. I CALLED LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIPS AND THEY KNOW ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT DECLINED TO OFFER SIGNIFICANT INFORMATION. I CONTACTED NISSAN AND BECAUSE OF LANGUAGE BARRIERS, ETC., THEY WOULD NOT ADDRESS MY ISSUE. I CONTACTED THE BBB AND A NISSAN REPRESENTATIVE EVENTUALLY CALLED ME, BUT IN THE END DISREGARDED MY ISSUES WITH MOCK CONCERN. I CONTACTED THE MN ATTORNEY GENERAL AND THEY SAID I MIGHT TAKE THEM TO SMALL CLAIMS COURT. IT...

DRIVING AT ABOUT 40MPH MY 2005 NISSAN FRONTIER 4.0L V6 STARTS TO RUMBLE FOR APPROXIMATELY 4 SECONDS AS IF I WERE DRIVING OVER A RUMBLE STRIP. ONCE THE RUMBLE BEGINS THERE IS A LOSS OF POWER. THIS IS HAPPENING AT LEAST TWICE A DAY. *TR

JUST BOUGHT AN 05' NISSAN FRONTIER AND UPON GETTING ONTO A HIGHWAY I SPED UP TO 55-60MPH TO FEEL A VIBRATION LIKE GOING OVER SPEED BUMPS AND A LOSS OF POWER. IT TURNS OUT THAT THE INTERCOOLER FROM THE RADIATOR BROKE INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION CAUSING A LEAK OF ANTIFREEZE INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION. WHICH CAUSED SOMETHING IN THE TRANSMISSION TO BREAKDOWN. I AM NOT VERY PROFICIENT IN CAR REPAIR SO I AM NOT SURE THE EXACT PART THIS CAUSES TO MALFUNCTION INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION. ALL I KNOW IS THAT I NEED A BRAND NEW TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR WHICH IS GOING TO CAUSE $6000.00 AT LEAST. I ALSO KNOW THAT THIS IS A WIDESPREAD THING AND A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS HAPPEN TO 05-10 NISSAN FRONTIERS, XTERRAS AND PATHFINDERS. THIS SEEMS LIKE A SAFETY ISSUES; IF I'M ON A HIGHWAY WITH MY FAMILY AND TRY TO PASS SOMEONE AND EXPERIENCE...

EXPERIENCED SUDDEN JERKING WHEN TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED AS A FAILED TRANSMISSION COOLER WHICH ALLOWED COOLANT TO MIX WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID, CAUSING INTERNAL DAMAGE TO THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION. PRIOR TO THIS, THERE WAS NOTHING AMISS WITH THE OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE. APPARENTLY THIS IS COMMON AND EVEN THOUGH SEVERAL COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN FILED TO NHTSA, NISSAN STILL CLAIMS THAT THERE IS NO DEFECT. BASED ON THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE, PLEASE CONSIDER ISSUING A RECALL. I JUST BOUGHT MY TRUCK IN DEC. 2012 WITH ABOUT 81,000 MILES AND 4 MONTHS AND 2,000 MILES LATER, I AM ON THE HOOK FOR THIS DEFECT. *TR

THE COOLANT IS MIXING WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. IT'S A KNOWN AND WIDESPREAD DEFECT YET NISSAN IGNORES IT. WE PAID $14,000 FOR THE TRUCK LESS THAN A YEAR AGO, BUT NISSAN HAS SQUEEZED US OUT OF ANY REBATE BECAUSE THE TRUCK IS OVER 100,000 MILES. NOW WE HAVE TO PAY ANOTHER $7,000 TO FIX IT. THAT'S WRONG. THEY SHOULD FIX IT NO MATTER HOW OLD. *TR

COMING HOME FROM WORK THE TRUCK STARTED TO OVERHEAT AND THE TRANSMISSION STARTED TO SKIP. I HAD TO TURN ON THE HEATER TO KEEP THE TRUCK FROM OVERHEATING AND THEN THE TRANSMISSION STARTED TO ENGAGE AND DISENGAGE. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE ANTIFREEZE IS LEAKING IN TO THE TRANSMISSION. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH NISSAN, BUT THEY ARE NOT FIXING THE PROBLEM. I HAVE THREE CHILDREN THAT ARE IN THE TRUCK WITH ME. IF THAT TRANSMISSION BREAKS AND CAN CAUSE MAJOR PROBLEMS. NISSAN NEEDS TO REPLACE THE PARTS. *TR

RADIATOR LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION. WE HAD TO REPLACE TRANSMISSION. NISSAN WOULD NOT STAND BEHIND ANYTHING SINCE IT HAPPENED AT 111K MILES RATHER THAN UNDER 100K. *TR

MY VEHICLE HAS DEVELOPED A VIBRATION WHILE I AM DRIVING WHICH HAS BEEN VERY UNCOMFORTABLE, HOWEVER, NOTHING MAJOR IN THE PERFORMANCE OF THE VEHICLE, HOWEVER, NOW MY VEHICLE HAS DECIDED TO RANDOMLY TURN OFF WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I TOOK IT TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THAT THEY FOUND TRANS FLUID MIXING WITH COOLANT DUE TO LEAKING TRANS COOLER IN RADIATOR AND THE TOTAL COST WOULD COME OUT TO $5,000. I AM UNABLE TO AFFORD THIS BILL SO I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE. *TR

AT ABOUT 85,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK, WHILE CRUISING AT AROUND 40 MPH THE GEARS DROPPED AND STUTTERED. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY DOCUMENTED MY CONCERN AND THE INCIDENT. THEY DID A DIAGNOSTIC AND ONLY CAME UP WITH A FUEL GAUGE MALFUNCTION AND REPLACE IT FOR $475. AT 90,000 MILES I DESCRIBED THE SAME CONCERN, WHICH THEY DOCUMENTED, AT A LOWER MPH AND THEY FLUSHED/REPLACED TRANS AND RADIATOR FLUID AND REPLACED THE RADIATOR ITSELF FOR $1600. I AM NOW BEING TOLD THAT THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED FOR APPROXIMATELY $6000. NISSAN HAS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS, IT STANDS TO REASON THAT THE CAUSE OF THE TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTION IS DUE TO COOLANT GETTING INTO A LUBRICANT. *TR

WHILE JUST MERGING ONTO THE BROOKLYN QUEENS EXPRESSWAY IN BROOKLYN AT APROX 50 MPH WITH NO PREVIOUS WARNING SIGNS TO ANY VEHICLE PROBLEM THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT OF GEAR ALMOST CAUSING A REAR END COLLISION. HAD TO PUT HAZARDS ON AND COAST ACROSS 3 LANES SINCE IT WAS A LEFT LANE MERGE. VEHICLE SLOWED TO APROX 20 MPH WHEN TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO CATCH AGAIN AND WAS ABLE TO EXIT BQE TO A SAFE LOCATION. BROUGHT TO DEALERSHIP AND WAS DIAGNOSED WITH ANTI FREEZE MIXING WITH TRANSMISSION FLUID WHICH IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM NOW WITH NISSAN. IT COULD OF ALL BEEN AVOIDED IF RADIATOR WAS RECALLED BY NISSAN PRIOR. *TR

NISSAN HAS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION. THE DATE LISTED IS MERELY THE DATE WE DISCOVERED THE ISSUE. BEFORE JAN 31, 2012 WE KNEW NOTHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. YOU DON'T KNOW IF THIS HAS HAPPENED TO YOUR TRUCK UNTIL IT OVERHEATS AND YOU FIND OUT THE FLUIDS HAVE MIXED. REPLACE THE RADIATOR. FLUSH THE FLUIDS (3 OR MORE TIMES, SINCE THE FLUID IS NOW LIKE PURPLE SOFT SERVE ICE CREAM). THEN THE REAL TROUBLES BEGIN.. IT SLIPS OUT OF GEAR WHILE DRIVING AT 70 MPH AND THE ONLY OPTION IS TO PULL OVER, TURN THE TRUCK OFF, REMOVE THE KEY, THEN RESTART THE TRUCK AND HOPE IT WORKS. THIS IS REALLY DANGEROUS ON THE HIGHWAY AT THE HIGHER SPEEDS BUT ALSO UNSAFE ON THE SIDE ROADS OR IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. I TAKE MY KIDS TO SCHOOL 3.6 MILES EACH WAY....

FUEL SENSOR WILL SHOW 1/4 TANK OF GASOLINE AND LOW FUEL LIGHT WILL COME ON AND GAUGE WILL SHOW EMPTY SHORTLY AFTER. *TR

HAD TO REPLACE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION. FLUIDS LEAKED BETWEEN THE TWO. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN FRONTIER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH UP AN INCLINE, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED TO DOWN SHIFT. THERE WERE NO PRIOR WARNINGS. THE FAILURE ONLY OCCURRED WHEN DRIVING UP AN INCLINE. THE CONTACT REPLACED THE RADIATOR AND THERE WAS NO LONGER A MALFUNCTION WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 145,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD FAIL TO START. THE CONTACT BELIEVED THAT THE ITTM SENSOR HAD FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CURRENT AND THE FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 66,000.
