2006 NISSAN FRONTIER Engine Problems

THE TRANSMISSION ON MY TRUCK SUDDENLY WENT OUT WITH NO WARNING DURING MY MORNING COMMUTE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ON THE 202 LOOP IN PHOENIX. SHIFTING TO A DIFFERENT GEAR HAD THE SAME EFFECT AS STEPPING ON THE GAS, WHICH WAS THAT THE ENGINE REVVED WITH NO INCREASE OR DECREASE IN SPEED. I HAD TO COAST ACROSS 4 LANES OF FAST MOVING TRAFFIC. IT WAS AN INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I AM TOLD BY THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP THAT TRANSMISSION FLUID MIXED WITH COOLANT AND THAT IT WAS A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE. I HAVE RECEIVED NO NOTICES OF ANY KIND FROM NISSAN AND WAS SHOCKED TO LEARN THAT THIS IS A KNOWN, COMMONLY OCCURRING DEFECT AND THAT THE DEFECT MANIFESTS INSTANTANEOUSLY AND WITHOUT WARNING MOST OF THE TIME. NISSAN SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE DEFECTIVE SYSTEM AND FOR NOT NOTIFYING ME THAT I SHOULD HAVE THE DEALER FIX IT BEFORE THEY PUT MY...

WEATHER TURNED FROM RAIN TO ICY. SOUTH BOUND ON STREET THAT OVERPASS INTERSTATE. TRUCK SPUN AROUND SEVERAL TIMES FIRST IN SOUTH BOUND LANE HITTING GUARD RAIL ON WEST SIDE, WENT OVER THE CURB AND MEDIAN INTO NORTH BOUND LANE SPIN AGAIN BEFORE COMING TO REST AGAINST 4FT HIGH CONCRETE DIVIDER ON BRIDGE. THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG IS THE ONLY ONE THAT DEPLOYED. MY WIFE WAS IN PASSENGER SEAT. NO OTHER AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THIS TRUCK HAD DUAL STAGE SUPPLEMENTAL FRONT AIR BAGS AND NISSAN AABS.. THANKFULLY OUR SEAT BELTS WERE PROBABLY WHAT PROTECTED US FROM BEING THROWN FROM THE TRUCK. AS I STATED ONLY THE AIR BAG IN STEERING WHEEL DEPLOYED. THIS SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO WITH ALL THE RECALLS GOING ON. I HAD NOT RECEIVED ANY NOTICE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. I WENT TO EMERGENCY ROOM THE FOLLOWING TUESDAY TO GET XRAY OF CHEST BECAUSE OF PAIN. MY WIFE...

IN EIGHT YEARS I HAVE CHANGED TWO ZD30 ENGINES IN MY FRONTIER,BECAUSE OF BURNED OUT PISTONS AND BAD CYLINDER HEADS,EIGHT BURNED OUT PISTONS IN TOTAL,AND AS OF TODAY DECEMBER 3/2014 MY FRONTIER LOST POWER SENDING BLUE SMOKE FROM THE EXHAUST AND OIL,MY MECHANIC SAYS THE ENGINE HAS TO BE OPENED AGAIN. MY FUEL PUMP WENT BAD SOON AFTER THE WARRANTY WAS UP.SENT IT OVER SEAS TO BE REPAIRED ,AT A COST OF $1500.00 THE DANGEROUS PART IS THE STEERING GOING LOOSE,LUCKY FOR MY WIFE AND SELF I WAS IN TRAFFIC DRIVING AT 10 MPH. THE LOCAL DEALER DISCLAIMED EVERYTHING. I AM ABOUT TO LODGE A COMPLAINT TO OUR LOCAL BUREAU OF STANDARDS. *JS

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

FOLLOW UP TO COMPLAINT 10584635 -- TIMING CHAIN FAILURE RESULTING IN CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE. KNOWN ISSUE BY NISSAN, BUT HIDDEN FROM CONSUMER. NISSAN HAS ISSUED SEVERAL SERVICE BULLETINS RELATED TO DEFECTIVE TIMING CHAINS, AND NOTED THAT THESE CAN RESULT IN CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURES, EXACTLY AS OCCURRED. DANGEROUS. NO WARNING AND COMPLETE FAILURE ON A BUSY ROADWAY, WITH LOSS OF THE ABILITY TO MANEUVER AND EXTREMELY HINDERED ABILITY TO GET TO SAFETY IN TIME. HAD I BEEN GOING FASTER THAN 35MPH, OR HAD I BEEN ON A FREEWAY, THIS COULD HAVE BEEN DEADLY. I DISCOVERED A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT REGARDING THIS ISSUE, AND IT APPEARS THIS IS AFFECTING THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE. NISSAN SOLD VEHICLES AFTER IT KNEW ABOUT THE TIMING CHAIN DEFECTS (THE BULLETINS WENT OUT IN 2005, AND THIS VEHICLE WAS A 2006). NISSAN DECEPTIVELY KEPT THIS FROM CONSUMERS. TIMING CHAIN DEFECTS OCCUR TYPICALLY AFTER WARRANTY EXPIRATION, AND THEY DO...

WHILE RETURNING HOME, THE VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER AND POWER STEERING. DIFFICULTY NAVIGATING TO SAFETY ON THE SIDE OF A BUSY ROADWAY. THE ENGINE IN THE VEHICLE HAD COMPLETELY SEIZED. COMPLAINTS TO NISSAN THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THIS VEHICLE HAD BEEN ONGOING. THE ENTIRE FUEL SYSTEM HAD FAILED AT 40K MILES. BOTH CATALYTIC CONVERTERS FAILED AT 55K MILES (THOUGHT TO BE RELATED TO AN ENGINE PROBLEM, BUT THEY WOULD NOT FIX IT EVEN UNDER WARRANTY). AT 63K MILES, THE ENGINE STARTED TO SHOW SIGNS OF PROBLEMS. REPEATED ANALYSIS, FOR WHICH I PAID, RESULTED IN NO CONCLUSION. ONLY THAT "SOMETHING WAS WRONG". TRIED TO ENGAGE NISSAN MULTIPLE TIMES TO FIX THIS. THEY REFUSED. NOW, THE ENGINE HAS FAILED ENTIRELY. NISSAN WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE DEFECTIVE MANUFACTURING. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW AND HAS BEEN METICULOUSLY MAINTAINED. THE ENGINE FAILURE AND THE RESULTING LOSS OF THE ABILITY TO MANEUVER OR OPERATE...

WE BOUGHT THIS NISSAN NEW IN 2006 -GREAT LITTLE TRUCK. BUT RECENTLY THE ENGINE WOULD STALL AND ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH CAME ON. TOOK IT TO OUR MECHANIC HE SAID IT WAS A TRAN CODE TOOK IT TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THE COOLANT HAD GOTTEN INTO THE TRANS OR VISE VERSA (A LOT TO TAKE IN),SO I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR. I FOUND THIS ISSUE ON YOUR WEBSITE FOR A RECALL BUT MY VEHICLE WAS WITHIN THE YEARS OF THE RECALL BUT IT HAS OVER 100,000 IT HAS130 SO THE DEALERSHIP SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO TO HELP WITH THE $5500 BILL THEY JUST QUOTED ME. IS THERE ANY HELP OUT THERE FOR ME ON THIS ISSUE??? PLEASE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, THE FUEL LEVEL INDICATOR WOULD REGISTER THE FUEL TANK AS EMPTY WHEN IT WAS FULL. THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN WITH THE FUEL TANK FULL. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10V517000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING) AND HAD EXPERIENCED THE FAILURE RECURRINGLY HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 98000.

CROSS CONTAMINATION OF THE ENGINE COOLANT AND TRANSMISSION FLUID CAUSING A TRANSMISSION FAILURE. *TR

DRIVING GOING 50 TRUNK SHUT OFF,LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY.IT HAPPENED AROUND 10 MORE TIMES OVER A MONTH BEFORE IT JUST QUIT.NOT HAVING HIGH MILEAGE ON THE TRUCK NOW OR AT THE TIME OF RECEIVING A WARRANTY NOTIFICATION BACK IN 2012 NEVER THOUGHT OF IT.SO WE HAD IT TOWED TO PUT ON A FUEL PUMP THAT IT DID NOT NEED $400.00 STILL WILL NOT START .I STARTED LOOKING UP REVIEWS ON NISSAN TO FIND OUT THAT NISSAN HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS IN 2007 .I STILL OWE $3600.00 ON THIS TRUCK ,BOUGHT IT NEW WITH 24 MILES ON A LEASE... LOVED IT...SO AFTER MY LEASE WAS UP I REFINANCED 2010 WITH 41501 MILES BOUGHT A 3 YR EXTENDED WARRANTY,NEVER USED IT .NOW AFTER LEARNING ABOUT A CO - PAY FOR A TRUCK REALLY NISSAN ...MY TRUCK HAS 81000 MILES ..I DON'T HAVE 2500.00 TO PUT IN IT...

MY 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER HAS AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID IN THE RADIATOR, AND RADIATOR COOLANT IN THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. THE TRANSMISSION IS NOW SHIFTING IMPROPERLY. *TR

AT LOW SPEEDS THE TRANSMISSION STUTTERS / HESITATES. I'VE BEEN TOLD BY NISSAN THAT I NEED A NEW VALVE BODY. I BELIEVE MY VEHICLE SUFFERS FROM THE RADIATOR / TRANSMISSION ISSUES AS EXPERIENCED BY MANY OTHER CUSTOMERS. *TR

VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHIFT UPWARD AND DOWNWARD ERRATICALLY AT VARIOUS SPEEDS AND RPM. IT WOULD ALSO SHAKE AND SHUDDER LIKE THE WHOLE VEHICLE WAS ON A ROCKY ROAD -- EVERYTHING VIBRATING FROM THE FRAME TO THE STEERING WHEEL. VERY SUDDEN, ALARMING, AND DISCONCERTING. *TR

THE VEHICLE STRUGGLE TO ACCELERATE WHEN PRESSING ON THE ACCELERATOR. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER AND FOR THE LAST 9 OR 10 MONTHS IT BECOMES "HERKY-JERKY" AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. I ONLY DRIVE THIS VEHICLE IN THE WINTER SO YESTERDAY I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND TODAY THEY INFORMED ME THE COOLANT HAD LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THE COST FOR THE REPAIR IS $6500. I ASKED THEM IF THIS WAS SOMETHING NORMAL AND THEY SAID IT WAS UNUSUAL. I DID SOME CHECKING ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND OUT THERE WAS A SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT REGARDING THIS DEFECT. OTHER SITES DIRECTED ME TO MAKE A COMPLAINT WITH YOU BECAUSE THIS APPEARS TO BE A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM AND DUE TO THE FACT THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT WAS ESSENTIALLY WORTHLESS. GIVEN THIS I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT WITH YOU IN HOPES THIS WILL TURN INTO A RECALL. ALSO, MADE A CLAIM TODAY WITH NISSAN AND EXPECTING A CASE WORKER...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO SHIFT INTO REVERSE, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS ADVISED THAT THE RADIATOR FLUID WAS LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION. AS A RESULT, THE RADIATOR AND THE POWER TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 106,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER SE 4X4 CREW CAB WITH 143396 MILES AND GOING ABOUT 40-45 MILES PER HRS I HEAR A CHATTER IN THE REAR OF THE TRUCK. MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH A NISSAN DEALER IN MY AREA AND THE OUT COME WAS .. THE TRUCK NEEDS A TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR REPLACEMENT AND IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY THE REPLACEMENT AT THE DEALER WOULD BE A COST TO ME OF 5132.13 . NISSAN HAD A CLASS ACTION SUITE IN NEW YORK AND THE ONLY WIN FOR US CONSUMERS WAS THAT THEY EXTENDED THE MILEAGE TO 100,000 . I CALLED NISSAN AND WAS INFORMED THAT IF I HAD 120,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK THAT THERE WOULD BE A COVER UNDER THE WARRANTY. NISSAN KNOWS THAT THERE IS A ISSUE WITH TRANNY AND RADIATOR BUT THEY DID NO RECALLS SO NOW WE ARE STUCK. IF YOU ARE ON A FIXED...

AS I BEGAN TO ENTER THE HIGHWAY AND INCREASE SPEED TO ABOUT 65 MPH, I NOTICED WHAT FELT TO BE A SLIP IN GEARS. EACH TIME I DECREASED BY SPEED AND INCREASED OVER 50 MPH, I COULD FEEL THE SAME TYPE OF SLIP. ALTHOUGH I DRIVE MY VEHICLE DAILY, IT IS USUALLY FOR VERY SHORT DISTANCES, AS I AM IN TOWN DRIVING. I HAVE ONLY NOTICED THIS SLIP OF GEARS WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE. TODAY I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSIS. I WAS INFORMED THAT I WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND WOULD HAVE A $2500 DEDUCTIBLE FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE RADIATOR & TRANSMISSION. MY VEHICLE IS PROPERLY MAINTAINED AT RECOMMENDED INTERVALS, WITH LOW MILEAGE. I CAME HOME TO DO SOME RESEARCH AND LEARNED ABOUT THE REPORTED RADIATOR/TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS FOR SOME 2005-2010 NISSAN TRUCK AND SUV MODELS. I DO NOT REMEMBER EVER RECEIVING ANY INFORMATION...

I HAD DRIVEN APROX 20 MILES ON INTERSTATE WHEN I NOTICED WHEN TRUCK SHIFTED BETWEEN 4TH AND OVERDRIVE THE MOTOR WAS RACING. I TURNED OFF CRUISE CONTROL AND TURNED OF THE OVERDRIVE WITH THE TRAILER SWITCH. I STOPPED AT STATION CHECKED FLUIDS BUT EVERYTHING SEEMED OK. WHEN LEAVING STATION THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING WHEN SHIFTING. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT HOME. NEXT DAY TRANSMISSION SHOP TOLD ME TRANSMISSION WOULD NEED TO BE REBUILT. AFTER GOOGLE INFO I TOLD SHOP TO ALSO REPLACE RADIATOR ALSO. I GOT THE TRUCK BACK 2 WEEKS LATER. AFTER 5 DAYS OF DRIVING WHILE TRAVELING HOME FROM JOB. TRANSMISSION LOCKED UP AND TRUCK CAME TO STOP IN MIDDLE OF ROAD. I LOOKED UNDER HOOD AND FOUND OIL IN RADIATOR. THE TRUCK WAS TOWED BACK TO SHOP. COME TO FIND OUT THE SHOP HAD REPLACED WITH USED RADIATOR. THE SAME THING HAD HAPPENED AGAIN WHERE ANTIFREEZE...

WHILST TRYING TO DRIVE FORWARD, THE VEHICLE IS UNABLE TO HAVE ENOUGH MOMENTUM TO DRIVE- IN OTHER WORDS THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY. ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC I BROUGHT IT TO, I WAS ADVISED THAT HE HAS SEEN THIS HAPPEN WITH THIS MAKE/MODEL/YEAR BEFORE AND IT IS CAUSED DUE TO AN ISSUE WITH THE RADIATOR LEAKING ANTI-FREEZE INTO THE TRANSMISSION SYSTEM. *TR

THE TRANSMISSION STOPPED AND MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO FASTER THAN 2 MPH. I COULD NOT GET IT UPHILL. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED. IT WAS CONSTANTLY JUMPING FORWARD PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT. ON THE HIGHWAY IT FELT LIKE IT COULDN'T GET OUT OF GEAR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION WHERE THEY STATED THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 87,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

WHEN DRIVING, A "RUMBLING" NOISE WOULD COME AND GO AND A "WHINING" NOISE WHILE ACCELERATING. THE RUMBLING NOISE WAS NOT CONSISTENT BUT WOULD SOUND LIKE A WAS DRIVING ON THE SIDE OF THE ROUND. IT WOULD USUALLY APPEAR AROUND 40-60 MPH WHEN I WOULD LET OFF THE GAS AND "COAST" AND TRY TO PRESS THE GAS AGAIN. I DID NOT KNOW THERE WAS A "WARRANTY EXTENSION". I WAS NOT NOTIFIED. TOOK THE TRUCK INTO THE SHOP ONLY TO FIND OUT MY TRANSMISSION WAS GOING OUT DUE TO THE FACT I HAVE RADIATOR COOLANT (ANTIFREEZE) IN MY TRANSMISSION FLUID; (OVER A GALLON) CAUSE BY A FACTORY DEFECT. SOMETHING TO DO WITH A TRANSMISSION PIECE GOING THROUGH THE RADIATOR AND LEAKING. MILEAGE FOR MY TRUCK IS RIGHT AT 99,800. BARELY MADE THE 100,000 MILES 3000 DOLLAR SO-CALLED NISSAN WARRANTY EXTENSION.. *TR

TRANSMISSION FAILED COMPLETELY WHILE MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING LEAVING HER STRANDED IN A BUSY INTERSECTION. VEHICLE WAS TOWED. TRANSMISSION WAS FOUND TO HAVE RADIATOR FLUID IN IT AS WELL AS TRANSMISSION FLUID IN THE COOLING SYSTEM. AFTER INVESTIGATING THIS ISSUE ON THE INTERNET IT IS OBVIOUS THAT NISSAN HAS BEEN AWARE OF THE ISSUE WITH FAULTY RADIATORS FOR A LONG TIME. (WHEN I WAS STILL UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY.) HAD NISSAN INFORMED OWNERS THIS COULD HAVE RESOLVED WITH A RADIATOR CHANGE THAT I WOULD HAVE GLADLY DONE AT MY EXPENSE. NOW I'M LOOKING AT OVER $4000.00 IN REPAIR COSTS. SHAME ON NISSAN! *TR

ON MY 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER MY RADIATOR COOLANT MIXED IN WITH MY TRANSMISSION OIL AND IT CAUSED MY TRANNY TO BLOW OUT AND ALSO FOR MY TIMING BELT TO GET MESSED UP AND SO I HAD TO REPLACE MY TRANNY AND RADIATOR AND TIMING BELTS AT A TOTAL OF OVER 4 THOUSAND DOLLARS. I REALLY THINK NISSAN SHOULD MAKE THIS A RECALL REGARDLESS OF YOUR MILEAGE BECAUSE IF THEY DON'T HUNDREDS AND THOUSAND OF PEOPLE WILL STOP BUYING NISSAN. PLEASE INFORM ME OF ANYTHING WITH THE INVESTIGATION WITH NISSAN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE ROSE AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WERE SIGNS OF OIL MIXED INTO THE RADIATOR. AS A RESULT, THE RADIATOR HAD TO BE REPLACED AND THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE FLUSH. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC . THE TECHNICIAN DECIDED TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION SINCE IT HAD STARTED TO SHIFT GEARS INDEPENDENTLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE BUT DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 96,792 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 104,000.

THE SEAL BETWEEN THE ENGINE COOLANT AND TRANSMISSION FLUID PORTIONS OF THE RADIATOR FAILS, CONTAMINATING THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WITH COOLANT WATER. CAUSING MY ENGINE TO SLIP WHEN CHANGING 1ST AND 2ND GEAR. I JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WHEN I RECEIVED A LETTER THAT THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. NISSAN KNEW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND FAIL TO NOTIFY OWNER OF THE THIS PROBLEM IN A TIMELY MATTER. IF I HAD KNOWN THIS PROBLEM THEN I WOULD HAVE REPLACE THE RADIATOR INSTEAD OF HAVING TO REPLACE MY WHOLE TRANSMISSION CAUSING ME THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. *TR

CAMSHAFT SENSORS (CPS?) REPLACED TODAY AT DEALER. FRIDAY MY TRUCK STALLED AS I PULLED INTO A HIGHWAY AT NIGHT. ALMOST GOT BROADSIDED BY TRACTOR TRAILOR TRUCK. THESE SENSOR FAILURES CAUSE A RAPID STALL UNDER POWER AND HARD STARTING AFTER THE STALLS. LAST MONTH I HAD THE CRANKSHAFT SENSORS REPLACED AS WELL. BEFORE THAT THE IPDM RELAY RECALL GAVE ME PROBLEMS. I'M STILL FIGHTING TO GET MY FUEL SENDING UNIT REPLACED (NISSAN WILL ONLY COVER CUSTOMERS THAT SPEND A LOT OF MONEY AT THE DEALERS, I WAS TOLD THIS BY NISSAN!). I'VE HAD THE REAR END, TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR, DRIVESHAFT AND PROPELLER SHAFT REPLACED DUE TO FAILED U-JOINTS. AXLE SEALS (ON THE NEW REAR) ARE LEAKING AGAIN I UNDERSTAND A CLOGGED VENT MAY BE TO BLAME. TIRE PRESSURE SENSORS ARE SHOT AND CATALYTIC CONVERTERS SHOT. GET THIS COMPANY TO RECALL SOME OF THIS STUFF AND FORCE THEM TO PAY TO FIX...

THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 44,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 45,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE A WHINING CLICKING NOISE IS NOTICEABLE UNTIL VEHICLE IS AT NORMAL OPERATING TEMPERATURE . AFTER INVESTIGATING THIS PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET I LEARNED THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED OCCURRENCE AND NISSAN MOTOR CORPORATION IS WELL AWARE THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURES DEFECT IN THERE V6 MOTORS AT THE TIMING CHAIN GUIDES BUT REFUSES TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY TO ADDRESS AND FIX THIS PROBLEM AND EXPECTS THE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE TO PAY FOR NISSAN MOTOR CORPORATION DEFECTIVE TIMING CHAIN GUIDES THAT END UP DROPPING DOWNWARD OUT OF THEIR ORIGINAL POSITION THAT CAUSES TIMING CHAIN FAILURE . I PAID 24000 DOLLARS FOR THIS TRUCK BRAND NEW FROM METRO NISSAN IN ONTARIO CALIF, FOR THAT KIND OF MONEY NISSAN SHOULD TREAT THERE CUSTOMERS BETTER AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THERE MISTAKES AND BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE TO FIX THIS DEFECT.. I WILL NEVER BY A NISSAN AGAIN AND I WILL...
