2005 NISSAN FRONTIER Unknown Or Other Problems

YEAR 2013 RECALLED RADIATOR LEAKAGE INTERNAL AND CAUSED ( TRANMISSION FLUID GOT INTO RADIATOR ) . I REPORT TO NISSAN USA : THEY DENIED TO PAY FOR ITS BECAUSE HAVE BEEN TO LONG BUT NOW ITS HAPPENING TO MY TRUCK ON DATE : 10/19/2020 . PLEASE , HELP . THANKS !

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK IN THE MORNING , ABOUT 10 MILES TO WORK ON THE HIGHWAY NOT A TREE OR CAR INSIGHT , I HEARD WHAT SOUNDED LIKE A LOUD POP / I HAD NO IDEA WHAT IT WAS , NOT A TIRE OR ANYTHING I LOOK UP AND SEE MY SUNROOF SHATTERED

AFTER STOPPING AND TURNING OFF TRUCK AT AN ALLEY. IT WOULD NOT RESTART UNTIL SEVERAL ATTEMPTS AND STEPPING ON BRAKE. ALSO, WHILE DRIVING IN BUSINESS PARKING LOT, ENGINE STALLED; TRUCK STOPPED LOCKING THE STEERING WHEEL; UNABLE TO RESTART THE TRUCK AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS AND STEPPING ON BRAKE.

CHASSIS RUST THE CHASSIS ON THE REAR OF MY 2005 NISSAN FRONTIER IS ALMOST BROKEN INTO PIECES

TRUCK CUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING NO MATTER WHAT SPEED YOUR AT. HAVE TO WAIT A FEW SECONDS TO GET IT TO START AGAIN.

TAKATA RECALL. A POOR DESIGN LED TO THE ENGINE COOLANT SLOWLY LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND RUINING IT CAUSING IT TO NEED TO BE REPLACED. NISSAN SAID IT WAS NOT THEIR PROBLEM AND I HAD TO PAY FOR THE WHOLE THING.

NISSAN TRANSMISSION DESTROYED BY ENGINE COOLANT LEAK. HAD NO PROBLEM WITH TRANSMISSION UNTIL ONE DAY, SHIFTED INTO DRIVE AND TRANSMISSION WAS STUCK IN HIGHER GEAR. THOUGHT IT WAS ELECTRICAL. TURNED THE CAR OFF THEN BACK ON. WOULD NOT ENGAGE IN REVERSE, BUT FORWARD WAS BACK TO NORMAL. TOOK TO AAMCO TRANSMISSION REPAIR AND WAS TOLD THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH NISSANS IN THAT THE DESIGN FLAW ALLOWS ENGINE COOLANT TO MIX WITH TRANSMISSION FLUID AND DESTROYS THE TRANSMISSION. COST TO REPLACE IS ESTIMATED AT $4100, CAN NOT OBTAIN A USED TRANSMISSION BECAUSE ALL THE SAME TRANSMISSIONS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH ENGINE COOLANT LEAKAGE. VEHICLE HAS 155K MILES, AND DID NOT HAVE ANY WARNING SIGNS OF TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. NISSAN NEEDS TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR DESIGN FLAW. THIS TRUCK WHICH WAS RUNNING FINE LAST WEEK, WILL NOW BE SOLD FOR SCRAP AT A JUNKYARD AS I CAN NOT AFFORD...

MY RADIATOR FAILED AND CONTAMINATED THE TRANSMISSION WITH COOLANT CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION TO FAIL. THE TRUCK HAS 108,000 MILES BUT THE TECHNICIAN THAT REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR SAID THAT IT HAD BEEN MIXING FOR A WHILE SO IT IS DIFFICULT TO SAY HOW MANY MILES THE VEHICLE HAD AT THE TIME OF THE FAILURE. IT COST ME $4750 TO REPAIR. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH NISSAN FRONTIERS.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, GOT SCANNED AT AUTO ZONE, ALL CODES REFERENCED TRANSMISSION & SENSORS (I.E. CAM SHAFT)...TOOK TO GEURLICH'S AUTO FOR AN INSPECTION AND TRANSMISSION WAS SUGGESTED TO BE REPLACED...TOOK IT TO AAMCO FOR AN INSPECTION/2ND OPINION AND SAME DIAGNOSIS, REPLACE/RE-BUILD TRANSMISSION. FINALLY ACCUMULATED THE FUNDS TO HAVE A MECHANIC REBUILD OUR TRANSMISSION AND UPON RETURN OF OUR VEHICLE, AND UNBEKNOWNST TO US, HE MENTIONED THE KNOW ISSUES/INVESTIGATION STEMMING BACK TO 2012 WITH THE RADIATOR LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND CAUSING IT TO FAIL, WHICH IS ULTIMATELY WHAT HE FELT HAPPENED. SINCE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ON 08/08/2012 WITH AN ODOMETER READING OF 100,340. WE WOULD HAVE BEEN ENTITLED TO NONE OF THE REPAIR OPTIONS OR CONCESSIONS NISSAN OFFERED UNDER THE PROPOSED CLASS ACTION, SINCE ALL WERE OFFERED ONLY UP TO 100K MILES. THE DATE THE INVESTIGATION WAS OPENED ACCORDING TO HTTP://WWW-ODI.NHTSA.DOT.GOV/ WAS 6/11/2012, 2 MONTHS PRIOR TO...

COOLANT CONTAMINATION DESTROYED MY TRANSMISSION; CLUTCHES, VALVES, SEALS, CAUSING CORROSION TO VALVE BODY. STARTING WITH CRACKED RADIATOR TANK. THIS IS AN ENGINEERING/MANUFACTURING DEFECT. THIS IS A WELL KNOWN TRENDING ISSUE. WHEN I CALLED NISSAN USA, THEY ONLY GAVE ME A 'LECTURE', A 'CASE NUMBER' AND A 'FOOT IN THE REAR'; THEY'RE NO HELP. THEY JUSTIFIED THEIR CONVENIENT BUREAUCRATIC BS BY TELLING ME THAT IN OCT 2012; A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT RESULTED IN THE FOLLOWING: UP TO 8 YEARS/80,000 MILES WHATEVER COMES FIRST, EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERAGE APPLIES WITH NO CUSTOMER CO-PAY. AFTER 8 YEARS/80,000 MILES, UP TO 9 YEARS/90,000 MILES, EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERAGE APPLIES WITH CUSTOMER CO-PAY IN THE AMOUNT OF $2,500. AFTER 9 YEARS/90,000 MILES, TO 10 YEARS/100,000 MILES, WHICHEVER COMES FIRST, EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERAGE APPLIES WITH CUSTOMER CO-PAY IN THE AMOUNT OF $3,000. THE 'SO-CALLED' SETTLEMENT IS REALLY "NOTHING" BECAUSE ACCORDING TO DATA AVERAGE MILEAGE AT WHICH THIS PROBLEM...

NISSAN'S REAR AXLE DESIGN FOR THE FRONTIER IS FAULTY, UTILIZING A BLEEDER VALVE THAT CLOGS CAUSING SEALS TO FAIL. FAILED SEALS CAUSE DIFFERENTIAL OIL TO LEAK LEADING TO AXLE WEAR, AMONG OTHER ISSUES. OIL LEAK ALSO SPREADS ALL OVER BREAKS LEADING TO POSSIBLE BREAK FAILURE. MY AXLES WERE REPLACED IN 2012 (ALONG WITH BREAKS DUE TO OIL DAMAGE), NOW I'M BEING TOLD (2015) THAT AXLES NEED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. I BELIEVE NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT THIS PART FAILURE GENERATES REVENUE, AS THE WORK IS COSTLY, AND LEADS TO THE NEED FOR BREAK REPLACEMENT. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL.

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

THERE IS DEFECT ON ALL THE TRANSMISSIONS OF THIS TYPE AND NISSAN SHOULD MUST DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! *TR

CRUISE CONTROL SET AT 50 MPH, AND AS CAR STARTED INCLINE, ACCELERATOR ENGAGED ABRUPTLY AND RPM INCREASED TO MAXIMUM. MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO BRAKE AND REGAIN CONTROL OF VEHICLE. TRUCK WENT OFF ROAD ON CURVE AND HEAD ON COLLISION WITH TREE OCCURRED. DRIVER HAD BOTH FEET ON BRAKE, YET WAS UNSUCCESSFUL IN SLOWING VEHICLE.
