2006 NISSAN FRONTIER Fuelpropulsion System Problems

A gasoline leak has developed on the fuel tank hose fill adapter that is a molded fixture of the gas tank. In which there is no replacement part or fix for the hose fill adapter gasoline leak but to replace the whole gas tank, which cost hundreds of dollars. I alerted Nissan to the problem that a catastrophic situation could occur related to this grave engineering mistake. Because there are millions of people still driving this type of vehicle and others with the same gas tank design. Nissan said that it is not their problem because the vehicle is out of warranty, and there is no recall, on what I believe to be grave danger for all who owns a Nissan vehicle with this type of gas tank design. My opinion is that a warning bulletin or re-call should be issued immediately for this dangerous problem that many motorist may...

IPDM MODULE AND ECM SYSTEMS FAILURE 4.0 L V-6 CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON ALSO BATTERY LIGHT

FUEL SENDING UNIT WORKING SPORADICALLY AND TRIGGERED CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. FUEL GAUGE IS MARKING HALF TANK THEN SLOWLY WENT UP, BUT FUEL TANK WAS FILLED UP. THERE IS ALSO A RECALL ON RADIATOR LEAKING ANTIFREEZE INTO TRANSMISSION BUT HAS NOT HAPPENED YET.

DRIVING TO WORK AND VEHICLE SHUT OFF AND COASTED TO A STOP. I TRIED TO RESTART AND IT ACTED LIKE IT WAS NOT GETTING FUEL. THE GAS GAUGE WAS SHOWING SLIGHTLY UNDER A 1/4 OF A TANK. I HAD SOMEONE COME GET ME AND TAKE ME HOME. AFTER DOING A LITTLE ONLINE RESEARCH I FOUND A NHTSA RECALL FOR THAT SPECIFIC TRUCK CAMPAIGN ID# 10V075000, RECALL DATE 3/3/2010. AFTER READING THIS I WENT AND PURCHASED SOME GAS AND PUT IT IN THE TRUCK.THE TRUCK FIRED RIGHT UP BUT THE GAS HAND DIDN'T MOVE. CALLED TWO LOCAL NISSAN DEALERS AND TALKED TO THEM ABOUT THE RECALL BUT THEY FOUND NONE FOR MY VIN.

TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING AND THEN LOST REVERSE.AND FINALLY JUST KEPT SLIPPING AND WOULDN'T MOVE MORE THAN A FEW HUNDRED FEET ,AND WOULD TURN OFF AND WOULDN'T RESTART UNTIL THE TRANSMISSION COOLED OFF,AND WHEN IT RESTARTED THE IDLE OR TACHOMETER WOULD JUMP INTO THE RED LINE AREA EVEN THOUGH THE TRUCK WOULDN'T DRIVE PAST 20 MPH. COASTING ON THE FREEWAY I WOULD PULL TO THE SIDE AND HAVE CARS DRIVE AROUND MR WHILE TRYING TO PUSH IT OFF THE SHOULDER,LOOKING FOR AN OFF RAMP TO GO TO THE NEAREST TRANSMISSION SHOP I COULD FIND..SECONDLY I HAD TO REPLACE MY FUEL SENDER AND OR. MY FUEL PUMP I T WENT OUT WHEN I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY THINKING I HAD A HALF A TANK WHEN ACTUALLY IT WAS ON EMPTY ..SO I REALLY NEVER KNEW HOW MUCH FUEL IT HAD UNTIL I GOT IT FIXED AT SAM'S AUTOMOTIVE IN BEAUMONT CA...

FUEL GAUGE STARTED HANGING ON A QUARTER TANK WHEN I HAD MUCH LESS THEN WHEN I REALIZED THAT IT HAS TO BE WRONG AND FILLED IT UP IT WOULD GO TO EMPTY AND TURN ON CHECK ENGINE UNTIL IT GOT DOWN A WAYS THEN WORK UNTIL 1/4 AGAIN WHERE IT WOULD SIT UNTIL YOU RAN OUT.SAME SCENARIO AS NHTSA #10V-075 BUT NISSAN SAYS MY TRUCK WAS NOT AFFECTED VIN# EVEN THOUGH IT HAS LOW MILEAGE AND WENT OUT AT ABOUT 70000 MI RANGE

CAMPAIGN ID PC042, I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK USED FROM A DEALER WHEN I WENT TO FILL UP THE GAUGE READ EMPTY I FOUND THIS RECALL BUT THE NISSAN DEALER SAID MY TRUCK ISN'T ON THE RECALL , IT IS DOING EXACTLY WHAT THE RECALL CLAIMS AND IT'S FOR 2006-2008 FRONTIER , I CAN'T AFGORD TO GET IT FIX AND THEY WON'T HONOR THE RECALL .

FAULTY GAS GAUGE. FUEL LEVEL SENSOR MALFUNTION

PASSENGER AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. IN MOTION FROM A PARKING LOT. FUEL GAUGE SUDDENLY FELL TO EMPTY ON 07/10/2019 LIGHTS ON DASH ILLUMINATED SHOWING NEED FOR UPCOMING SERVICE AND TIRE PRESSURE LOW.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT NOTICED AN ABNORMAL FUEL ODOR INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE ODOR ATTACHED ITSELF TO THE CONTACT'S CLOTHES. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 73,727.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WAS NOT READING CORRECTLY. WHEN THE CONTACT FILLED UP THE FUEL TANK, THE FUEL GAUGE SHOWED THE FUEL LEVEL AS EMPTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE CURRENTLY DISPLAYED AS BEING EMPTY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED, PROVIDED A CASE NUMBER, CHECKED FOR RECALLS, AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,500. *TT CONSUMER STATED GAS GAUGE QUIT READING; LIGHT IS ON SHOWING TO BE EMPTY, DRIVERS SIDE GLASS WON'T ROLL UP AND DOWN. CONSUMER CONTACTED THE DEALER.*JB

THE 2 COMPLAINTS I HAVE REGARDING MY FRONTIER HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THE SAME YR THAT MY FRONTIER IS, BUT I DIDN'T RECEIVE A RECALL NOTICE FOR EITHER ONE. FIRST IS THE FUEL PUMP SENDING UNIT, WHICH SHOWS YOU HOW MUCH GAS YOU HAVE IN THE VEHICLE. MY FUEL GAUGE WILL SHOW THAT I HAVE NO GAS EVEN AFTER I FILL UP MY TANK, BUT THEN I CAN PARK FOR A FEW MINUTES & THEN THE GAUGE WILL SHOW THAT I HAVE A FULL TANK OF GAS. I RAN A DIAGNOSTIC TEST, & THE RESULTS DISPLAYED A CODE THAT MEANT IT NEEDED A NEW SENDING UNIT. HOWEVER, WITH THIS PARTICULAR MODEL, I CANNOT JUST GET THE SENDING UNIT, BECAUSE IT ONLY COMES IN ONE WHOLE PIECE, MEANING THAT THE MECHANICS WILL HAVE TO EMPTY THE GAS TANK & DROP THE TANK, WHICH IS MUCH MORE WORK. THEREFORE, THIS REPAIR WILL...

I WENT TO THE GAS STATION AND FILLED THE TANK UP ALL THE WAY. BEFORE I FILLED IT THE FUEL GAUGE READ SLIGHTLY ABOVE A QUARTER TANK. AFTER I FILLED IT I TURNED THE CAR ON AND THE NEEDLE WAS STUCK AT SLIGHTLY ABOVE A QUARTER TANK. SO I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND TURNED IT BACK ON. THE FUEL GAUGE THEN DROPPED TO THE BOTTOM AND TRIGGERED THE LOW FUEL INDICATOR ALONG WITH THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON INDICATOR. OVER 600 COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN ISSUED AND THIS HAPPENS ON A LOT OF NISSAN CARS SUCH AS THE FRONTIER, XTERRA, PATHFINDER, ETC. THIS IS A ENGINEERING DESIGN ISSUE NOT A MAINTENANCE PROBLEM.

DEAR NISSAN SERVICE: I AM THE OWNER OF A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER SE WITH APPROXIMATELY 124,000 MILES. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED USED FROM NALLEY NISSAN IN 2012 WITH APPROXIMATELY 89,000 MILES ON IT. THE HISTORY OF THE VEHICLE WAS METICULOUS, MINUS THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER HAD BEEN REPLACED BY NALLEY NISSAN. IN FEBRUARY 04, 2016 I HAD THE LEFT CATALYTIC CONVERTER REPLACED AT NALLEY NISSAN. THE RIGHT CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS REPLACED PRIOR TO PURCHASING THE VEHICLE. MY VEHICLE HAS ALREADY HAD BOTH CATALYTIC CONVERTERS REPLACED. ON MAY 11, 2018 I WAS ADVISED THAT I NEED BOTH OF MY CATALYTIC CONVERTERS REPLACED AGAIN AT STONE MOUNTAIN NISSAN. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAD CAME ON AGAIINHOWEVER, BOTH OF THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS HAVE BEEN PREVIOUSLY REPLACED. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THIS IN NOT AN INEXPENSIVE REPAIR. I ONLY USED PREMIUM GASOLINE IN MY VEHICLE TO ENSURE ITS PROPER PERFORMANCE AND GET MY...

WHEN FUEL TANK IS FULL, GAUGE DROPS TO EMPTY UNTIL YOU DRIVE 75-150 MILES, THEN THE NEEDLE REGISTERS NORMAL FOR THE PAST YEAR AND DEALER DIDN'T FIND THE ISSUE. NOW ENGINE LIGHT REGISTERS AND INSPECTION STICKER IS BEING REFUSED.

LETTING MY FRONTIER MAJOR PROBLEM LAST WEEK 100MILES AWAY FROM HOME FOR WORK. MY FRONTIER WON'T ACCELERATE CUTTING OF SPEED. HAS WEIRD SMELL TO IT. TRUCK WAS TOWED NISSAN HERE DIAGNOSED WITH FUEL PUMP PROBLEM, TRAMISSION AND RADIATOR HV TO BE REPLACED COSTING $7000.00 06 FRIONTIER CREW CAB, 96000MILES THINKING WHEN NISSAN KNEW ALL THIS ABOUT WHY NOT THEY FIXING IT. I DON'T HAVE THESE MONEY, LAST YEAR HAD PROBLEM WITH NISSAN I WENT BOUGHT NEW RAV4 START TELLING MY FRIEND NOW STAY OUT OF NISSAN

THE FUEL SENSOR IS NOT RELAYING ACCURATE FUEL LEVELS. WHEN VEHICLE IS NEAR EMPTY TANK THE TANK FUEL GAUGE WILL OFTEN STILL READ 1/4 TANK LEVEL. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINS ON WHICH CODES ALERTED ON DIAGNOSTICS RELAY BACK TO THE SENSOR ISSUE. THE PROBLEMS IS NOW WORSENING WHERE EVEN AT FULL TANK THE GAUGE WILL SOMETIMES INDICATE EMPTY WITH FUEL ALERT LIGHT ON AND TANK JUST TOPPED OFF. THE IMPROPER FUEL INDICATION HAS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO RUN OUT OF FUEL SEVERAL MILES FROM A GAS STATION WHILE STILL SHOWING 1/4 TANK LEVEL. THIS CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS AS BEING STRANDED IN NC IN PEAK OF SUMMER TEMPS OUTSIDE CAN REACH OVER 100 DEGREES. FURTHERMORE STALLING OUT FOR LACK OF FUEL IN BUSY CITY TRAFFIC OR SHARP TURN ON HIGHWAY AT 60-70 MHP CAN LEAD TO A VERY DANGEROUS ACCIDENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD DISPLAY INACCURATE READINGS INDICATING MORE OR LESS FUEL WAS AVAILABLE THEN WHAT WAS ACTUALLY IN THE FUEL TANK. IN ADDITION, WHILE REFUELING THE FUEL WOULD SOMETIMES BACK OUT OF THE FILLER HOLE WHEN STREAMING FUEL AT A STEADY PACE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 10V075000 (FUEL SYSTEM). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD EXPERIENCED THE SAME FAILURE LISTED IN THE RECALL. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

FUEL GAUGE IS FAULTY AND TRIGGERS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, CAUSING IT TO FAIL INSPECTION AND GREATLY INCREASING THE LIKELIHOOD OF THE TRUCK RUNNING OUT OF GAS. THE ISSUE MATCHES THE DESCRIPTION OF AN NHSA RECALL ON 2006 NISSAN FRONTIERS. HOWEVER, NISSAN SAYS NO SUCH RECALL APPLIES TO MY VEHICLE. CAMPAIGN # - PC042; NHTSA # 10V-075. HTTPS://WWW-ODI.NHTSA.DOT.GOV/ACMS/CS/JAXRS/DOWNLOAD/DOC/ACM13651432/RCRIT-10V075-4498.PDF

SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, HAD A NISSAN DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSE AS A "FUEL LEVEL SENSOR " IS BAD. THAT THEY STATED IT'S NOT COVER UNDER ANY WARRANTIES, WHICH THIS PART HAS BEEN RECALLED IN THE PAST. NISSAN SHOULD EXTEND THE RECALLS TO INCORPORATE MORE VEHICLES WITH THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE.

EVEN THOUGH MY FUEL TANK IS FULL MY GAGE SHOWS IT IS EMPTY. THIS PROBLEM STARETED LONG TIME AGO AND I BEEN TOLD SOME NISSAN FRONTIERS ARE COVERED BY FACTORY FOR FAULTY FUEL SENSOR AND SOME AREN'T. PLEASE ADVISE WHAT IS THE BEST OF GOING FORWARD. THANKS ALLEN

MY TRUCK HAS THE PROMBLEM OF CAMPAIGN NUMBER 10VO75000 BUT NISSAN SAID NOT COVER BY MY VIN IS THIS MORE WIDE SPREAD IN OTHER MODLE TRUCK?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF FUEL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE FAILED TO DISPLAY THE CORRECT FUEL LEVEL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V075000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CODE PO463 FUEL LEVEL SENSOR IS KNOW DEFECTIVE AND TOLD ME FOR THEM TO COVER THE COST OF REPLACEMENT ALL THEY WOULD NEED IS AN OFFICIAL DIAGNOSIS WHICH I GOT FROM NISSAN OF SACRAMENTO AT MY OWN EXPENSE OF $150 WHICH WAS A STRUGGLE SINCE I'M UNEMPLOYED, I'M TOLD IT COULD SHOW THE GAUGE CAN SHOW 1/4 TANK WHEN THERE IS NO GAS IN THE CAUSING POTENTIAL STALLING IN TRAFFIC AND CAUSING AN ACCIDENT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AS THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED AN INACCURATE READING THAT THE FUEL TANK CAPACITY WAS FULL HOWEVER, THE FUEL TANK LEVEL WAS EMPTY. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE MECHANIC INFORMED THAT THE FUEL SENSOR WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V075000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000.

THE GAS GAUGE HAS STOPPED WORKING. IT WILL READ EMPTY (WITH LIGHT ON) EVEN IMMEDIATELY AFTER A FILL-UP. OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS, IT GIVES ERRATIC READINGS. I HAVE TO KEEP A WRITTEN NOTE ON THE MILEAGE EACH TIME I FILL UP SO THAT I DON'T ACCIDENTLY RUN OUT OF GAS

A FEW WEEKS AGO I NOTICED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE ON MY TRUCK WOULD DROP TO EMPTY AND THE LOW FUEL INDICATOR LIGHT WOULD TURN ON IMMEDIATELY AFTER FILLING UP. AFTER I DROVE AROUND A FEW MILES, THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD GO BACK UP TO IT'S NORMAL LEVEL. HOWEVER, OVER THE COURSE OF THE LAST FEW WEEKS IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE AND WORSE TO THE POINT WHERE IT ALMOST ALWAYS READS EMPTY. AFTER LOOKING ONLINE, I FOUND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL FOR FAULTY FUEL SENSORS (NHTSA CAMPAIGN #10V075000). HOWEVER, AFTER CALLING NISSAN AND PROVIDING THEM WITH MY VIN, THEY INFORMED ME THAT MY TRUCK WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ONLINE, I'VE FOUND THAT MANY, MANY PEOPLE ARE IN THE SAME SITUATION AS ME. SOME HAVE EVEN BEEN TOLD BY THE NISSAN REPAIR MECHANICS WHO FIXED THEIR VEHICLES THAT IT...

THE LOCK RING THAT HOLDS THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR, FUEL FILTER, & FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY HAS COME LOOSE AND THE ASSEMBLY MOVED UPWARD ABOUT INCH LEAVING A GAP ALLOWING GAS TO SPLASH OUT OF THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK WHEN FULL OF GAS OR GOING OVER A BUMP. THIS HAPPENED OVER TIME AFTER THE VEHICLE'S FUEL SENSOR WAS REPLACED AFTER A RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. AFTER REFUELING THE VEHICLE, THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED AN INCORRECT READING. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS AWARE OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V075000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE), BUT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000. UPDATED 04/13/16*LJ UPDATED 06/05/18*JB

SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE USED IN LATE DECEMBER 2014. I WAS RECEIVING A P0463 CODE THE GAS GAUGE RANDOMLY STARTED DROPPING TO BELOW EMPTY AND THE LIGHT WOULD GO ON JUST AFTER FILLING UP THE TANK (FULL). THE GAUGE STAYS AT EMPTY WITH THE LIGHT ON ALL THE TIME UNTIL IT REACHES AROUND 1/4 TANK OR LESS AND WILL GO DOWN SOMETIMES UNTIL EMPTY AGAIN. HOWEVER IT HAS RUN OUT OF GAS ON ME MULTIPLE TIMES IN INTERSECTIONS WHEN IT SAYS I HAVE 1/4 OR 1/8TH TANK WHICH LEADS TO A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. I AM FORCED TO USE THE TRIP METER ALL THE TIME WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE. THIS IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE FUEL SENDING UNIT ISSUE THAT HAS AFFECTED ALL OTHER 2006 FRONTIERS (AND OTHER YEARS AS WELL). ALTHOUGH NISSAN ONLY REPLACED 'SOME' IT IS THE SAME PART AND ISSUE THAT HAS AFFECTED ALL FRONTIERS THAT...

GAS GAUGE STOPS WORKING AFTER HALF TANK IS USED01.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. WHILE DRIVING AT NUMEROUS SPEEDS, THE FUEL GAUGE FLUCTUATED AND THE VEHICLE RAN OUT OF FUEL. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT IT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V075000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 75,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

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...

WHILE DRIVING I NOTICED MY "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT ON, SO I CALLED A LOCAL NISSAN DEALER IN OUR PLACE AND HAVE A CHANGE OIL SERVICE. THE TECH ADVISOR INFORMED ME THAT MY FUEL SENSING UNIT IS MALFUNCTIONING AND ASKED ME IF I WANTED TO HAVE AND QUOTED ME A PRICE OF OVER $400.00. I SAID NO BECAUSE I CANNOT AFFORD THAT AMOUNT. I RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS TYPE PROBLEM HOWEVER IT EXPIRED ALREADY. I CALLED CORPORATE NISSAN AND REQUESTED IF THEY CAN FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY CALLED ME TODAY (5/29/2015) AND TOLD ME THEY CANNOT EXTEND THE RECALL. I THINK THIS RECALL SHOULD BE EXTENDED BY NISSAN. PLEASE INVESTIGATE BECAUSE THERE ARE A LOT OF OTHER 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AS OF THIS TIME (BASED ON THE SEVERAL NISSAN FORUMS I READ ON THE INTERNET.

WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT MY VEHICLE I SEEN NOTHING PRETTY MUCH WRONG WITH IT. AFTER A WEEK OF DRIVING WITH IT I START NOTICING PROBLEM WITH THE TIRES, NOT A BIG DEAL. I FIXED THAT, THEN I NOTICE THAT MY VEHICLE STARTS ACTING UP IN CHANGING GEARS, AS WELL AS HEATING UP. SO I CHECK THE RADIATOR, THAT I NOTICE TRANSMISSION FLUID INSIDE THE RADIATOR. SO I CALLED THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP AFTER HEARING A RECALL, DUE TO THIS ISSUE. THEY TELL ME THAT I WOULD NEED $3500.00 AS A DEPOSIT, BEFORE THEY DO ANYTHING BECAUSE IT IS POSSIBILITY THAT NOT ONLY THE RADIATOR NEEDS TO BE CHANGED, BUT THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO CHANGE THE TRANSMISSION ALSO IF THEY SEE IT NEEDS TO BE CHANGED. ALL THIS IN LESS THAN A MONTH. SO I CHANGE THE RADIATOR MYSELF. NOW A MONTH LATER THE TRANSMISSION IS ACTING UP ON ME. SO...

TOOK VEHICLE TO LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP FOR NOISE THAT APPEARED TO BE COMING FROM TRANSMISSION WITH A SLIGHT ROWING SOUND WHEN TRANSMISSION SHIFTED BETWEEN 40 MPH AND 45 MPH. SHOP MANAGER INFORMED ME TRUCK NEEDED A NEW TIMING CHAIN AND FUEL TANK SENDING UNIT. AFTER MAKING REPAIRS TO THE TIMING CHAIN WHICH THE SHOP MANAGER SPECIFICALLY INDICATED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS WITH THE TIMING CHAIN, MY TRUCK STILL HAS THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. THESE REPAIRS WERE MADE AT MY EXPENSE. NOW THE DEALERSHIP WANT ME TO PAY FOR ADDITIONAL REPAIRS THAT MAY NOT BE THE PROBLEM WHEN THEY SPECIFICALLY ASSURED ME THAT THE TIMING CHAIN WAS THE PROBLEM. I FEEL THAT THE REAL PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE IS THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION, WHICH IS A NATION-WIDE PROBLEM WITH NISSAN FRONTIER TRUCK TRANSMISSION AND OTHER NISSAN VEHICLES. NISSAN IS RESPONSIBLE FOR A RE-CALL ON THESE VEHICLE. (WILL SEEK NISSAN CORP. &...

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

FUEL GAUGE NOT READING CORRECTLY. REGISTERING 1/4 TANK WHEN IT WAS ALMOST EMPTY. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED THE FUEL SENDER UNIT. WHY WASN'T MY VEHICLE INVOLVED IN THE RECALL. LOOKS TO BE SOME MORE OF NISSAN'S NOT WANTING TO INCLUDE ALL OF THE DEFECTIVE VEHICLES IN THE RECALL. *TR

FUEL SENDER ISSUE WAS CAUSING THE FUEL GAUGE TO NOT WORK PROPERLY. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE (10V-075) AND MY VEHICLE APPEARS TO BE COVERED AS IT WAS BUILT IN JANUARY 2006. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. I COULD NOT UNDERSTAND WHY IT WASN'T COVERED AS MY ISSUE WAS EXACTLY WHAT THE RECALL WAS FOR, BUT I NEEDED IT FIXED SO I PAID A TOTAL OF $476.67. I CALLED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS DEPT. AND OPENED A CASE (1121397) AND THEY ASKED ME TO SUBMIT THE BILL I PAID AT THE DEALERSHIP, WHICH I DID, BUT NOW WHEN I CALL THE CHECK ON THE STATUS THEY DON'T ANSWER. VOICEMAILS ARE NOT RETURNED SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON. CAN YOU HELP?? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER REFUELING, THE FUEL GAUGE RAPIDLY REGISTERED THAT THE TANK WAS EMPTY.

I HAVE A NISSAN FRONTIER THAT HAS HAD FAILED IN A NUMBER OF THINGS WHICH ARE NOT WEAR AND TEAR. THEY ARE DESIGN FLAWS. THE FUEL GAUGE MODULE. THE RADIATOR/TRANSMISSION LEAK FLAW. BECAUSE OF THE DESIGN OF THE RADIATOR, NOW A PERFECTLY WORKING TRANNY NEEDS REBUILT. I ALSO HEAR THE TENSIONER FOR THE TIMING CHAIN IS A DEFECTIVE DESIGN. MY FRONTIER BEGAN FALLING APART BEFORE THE 100.000 MILES WITH DESIGN FLAWS. NISSAN NEVER AGAIN. A SIMPLE WARNING LETTER THAT MY RADIATOR NEEDED A $300 REPAIR WOULD HAVE SAVED ME $4,000 LATER AND NOT LEAVE ME STRANDED IN TRAFFIC. *TR

WHEN YOU PUT GAS IN THE VEHICLE THE GAS GAUGE DOESN'T WORK, GOES TO EMPTY WITH THE WARNING LIGHT COMING ON AND SHORTLY AFTER THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ONE. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU PUT IN 1 GALLON OF GAS OR IF YOU FILL UP THE TANK. THE FUEL SENDING UNIT FAILS, NISSAN DEALER SAID THEY ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE BUT ITS NOT A RECALL. *TR

MY FUEL GAUGE REGISTERED EMPTY SO A WENT TO PUT GAS IN AND IT WAS NEARLY FULL. THEY TOLD ME I NEEDED A BATTERY. I WAS UNDER WARRANTY AT THE TIME. NOW OUT OF WARRANTY AND 3 BATTERIES LATER, MY GAUGE IS BROKE AGAIN. I HAVE SENT EMAILS AND LETTERS TO NISSAN AND GET NO REPLY. I WILL PROBABLY NEVER BUY ANOTHER NISSAN AS MUCH AS I DO LIKE THIS TRUCK. *TR

FUEL GAUGE SHOW EMPTY WHEN IT HAS A FULL TANK.. FUEL GAUGE WILL SLOWLY GET UP TO FULL AND THEN WON'T DROP BELOW A QUARTER OF A TANK. YOU HAVE NO CLUE HOW MUCH GAS IS IN THE VEHICLE. LOOKS LIKE THERE ARE A TON OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME THING ONLINE. FAULTY FUEL SENDING UNIT LOOKS LIKE THE CAUSE. *TR
