2007 NISSAN FRONTIER Power Train Problems

In December 2023 I noticed a bad discoloration of the coolant in my 2007 Nissan Frontier. I took the truck to the local Nissan dealership and had them flush the coolant system. There were no warning lamps or messages. There were no other symptoms or problems prior to that. Receipt available for this service. Then in May 2023 the transmission began shifting extremely hard. Upon checking the coolant it was the consistency of strawberry milkshake. The truck was taken to a local transmission shop and they rebuilt the transmission assembly along with replacing the radiator and flushing the system. This work was completed June 3, 2024. Receipt is available for this service. With continuing to see the coolant have a consistency of strawberry milkshake, I reached out to the local Nissan dealership for them to tell me there had been a recall for this. Upon doing further research, I have...

Radiator coolant leaked into transmission after125,000 miles

The radiator cracked, leaking water in to the transmission cooler, causing contamination of the transmission fluid. The caused the transmission to instantly malfunction, ruining all internal electronic parts. No warning signs, service lights, etc. before the transmission was damaged. Transmission repair shop says this is very common and is going to cost $3900 to repair the vehicle.

This is known problem you refused to force Nissan to recall. At a minimum Nissan should have been required to notify owners of the problem. They did not. My radiator has failed allowing coolant to mix with the transmission fluid destroying the transmission. I have 96,000 miles on my vehicle. I would have gladly paid out of pocket to replace the defective radiator to save the transmission, but since I was not notified of the problem, now I have to potentially replace the transmission.

I was driving down my driveway and my truck just wouldn’t move i always fill my fluids and get flushes on time when I got my last oil change they said there was milked goo goo in my coolant

I, just found that Nissan had a malfunctioning in the 2007 Nissan Frontier pick up trucks. I, have 2007 Nissan Frontier LE truck where my transmission has been acting up. Have, to give it alot of rpms for it to take off, but once it gets going its does ok. Keep, in mind it doesn't down shift down at all and the OD light stays on. Could, you please help me? Could, it be a blown fuse? My, cell is [XXX] email is [XXX]. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

2007 NISSAN FRONTIER CREW CAB: ENTERING THE 100,000 MILE MARKER THE TRUCK STARTED TO FEEL LIKE IT WAS SKIPPING. THEN THE TRUCK STALLED WHILE AT THE GROCERY STORE. I TRIED TO GET IT STARTED AND AFTER 15 MINUTES IT DID START. AAA TESTED BATTERY, STARTER AND ALTERNATORS. THEY WERE ALL FINE. LATER DROVE TRUCK TO CONTINUE GROCERY SHOPPING AND IT STALLED IN THE MAIN TRAFFIC LANE. PUSHED TRUCK TO SAFER PLACE. THEN IT STARTED AGAIN. AUTOZONE COMPUTER TEST REVEALED SENSOR P)335 AND A RECOMMENDATION TO REPLACE FLYWHEEL. INTERNET SEARCH REVEALED ISSUES WITH POWER TRAIN AND ANTI FREEZE ENTERING THE TRANSMISSION DUE TO FAULTY PARTS. NEARLY 3000. REPORTS OF SAME ISSUE. DISAPPOINTED THAT NISSAN DID NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR USE OF COMPROMISED MATERIALS IN BUILDING THEIR CARS AND TRUCKS. IF NISSAN IS USING FAULTY OR WEAK MATERIALS, THEN MIGHT AS WELL BUY AMERICAN.

I BOUGHT THE 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER OFF A DEALERSHIP AS A USED VEHICLE WITH NO WARRANTY. ONE WEEK LATER THE TRANSMISSION STARTED TO SLIP, THE FOLLOWING WEEK THE SLIPPAGE WAS WORSE UNTIL IT LOST POWER AND IT LEFT ME STRANDED IN A PARKING LOT. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND HE SAID THAT IT'S A POSSIBILITY THAT THE TRANSMISSION COMPUTER HAD GONE OUT AND IT WOULD BE CLOSE TO $5,000 DOLLARS TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. THE TRANSMISSION FUSE KEEPS BLOWING OUT ONCE THE TRUCK IS STARTED. THE MECHANIC SAID IT COULD BE A POSSIBILITY THAT IT WAS CROSS CONTAMINATION SINCE NISSAN WAS KNOWN FOR FAULTY RADIATORS. SO I'M STUCK WITH A TRUCK PAYMENT THROUGH A LOAN WITH A TRANSMISSION OUT AND I CAN'T EVEN DRIVE IT. THERE ARE THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE FROM PEOPLE HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE.

I BOUGHT A 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER FROM A CAR DEALERSHIP IN BOISE IDAHO CALLED LARRY H MILLER I PURCHASE A VEHICLE AND ABOUT A MONTH LATER I NOTICED IT WAS MAKING NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR END COME TO FIND OUT WHAT IS THE TRANSMISSION OF THE RADIATOR FALTERS AND I HAD COOLANT IN MY RADIATOR AND MY RADIATOR COOLANT IN MY TRANSMISSION I CALLED LARRY H MILLER AND THERE WAS A $500 COPAY TO PAY BEFORE THEY WOULD EVEN LOOK AT IT I DID NOT HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY STICKING AROUND IT'S NOT IN MY PAPERWORK ANYWHERE ABOUT A $500 COPAY IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY AT THE TIME OF FAULT AND APPROXIMATELY SIX MONTHS LATER THE TRUCK WENT TOTALLY BLANK TRANSMISSION WENT TOTALLY OUT I FROM WHEN I UNDERSTAND I'M STUCK WITH IT I JUST WANT TO KNOW IF MESON WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE TO TO PAY FOR THE...

TRANSMISSION CONTAMINATED WITH ENGINE COOLANT @ 81,000 MILES. CATASTROPHIC TRANSMISSION FAILURE, ENGINE OVERHEATED AND THE VEHICLE QUIT MOVING. OCCURRED WHILE IN MOTION ON A RURAL ROAD AND VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED HOME.

COOLANT GOT MIXED IN WITH TRANSMISSION FLUID AND TRUCK STOPPED RUNNING.

MY NAME IS MRS.[XXX]. ON 5.29.2019, MY VEHICLE'S TRANSMISSION FAILED AS A RESULT OF A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO AAMCO AND HAD IT REPAIRED AT A COST OF $5,258.45 . WHILE MY VEHICLE WAS BEING REPAIRED I DISCOVERED THERE ARE NUMEROUS TAX PAYING CONSUMERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME MECHANICAL FAILURE. I, ALSO, DISCOVERED DESPITE KNOWING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, NISSAN HAS REFUSED AND/OR FAILED TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES OR NOTIFY THE OWNERS ABOUT THESE POTENTIAL DANGERS. HAD THE CORPORATION NOTIFIED THE OWNERS THE MAJOR TRANSMISSION. FAILURE COULD HAVE BEEN AVERTED WITH A SIMPLE PROCEDURE AT A COST OF $700- $1,000 . INSTEAD THE COMPANY KEPT SILENT ABOUT THE ISSUES. AS A RESULT AMERICAN CONSUMERS HAVE BEEN FOOTING THE BILL FOR NISSAN'S DEFECT, TO THE TOON OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. I CONTACTED NISSAN'S CEO SEEKNG REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE $5,258.45 OUT OF POCKET EXPENSES IT TOOK TO FIX NISSAN'S...

AT 132,000 MILES MY TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR FAILED AT THE SAME TIME. I HAVE COME TO UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT IN NISSANS. I DID NOT KNOW THIS WAS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH NISSANS. THE COST TO REPAIR IS GOING TO BE MORE THAN $5000. THIS IS TERRIBLE.

TRANSMISSION FAILURE

WE ARE A AUTO DEALER IN OHIO. AFTER PURCHASING A 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER CREW CAB 4X4 AT THE AUCTION, WE DID A POST SALE INSPECTION AND IT PASSED. WE BROUGHT IT HOME AND DID A 60 POINT INSPECTION, OUTSIDE OF AN AIRBAG LIGHT ISSUE, IT PASSED ONCE AGAIN. ONE WEEK LATER, THE TRANSMISSION IS SHOT. AFTER A TRANSMISSION SHOP CALLED ME TODAY AND SAID $3000 TO REPLACE TRANSMISSION, I FOUND OUT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT NISSAN WILL NOT BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR. I AM LOOKING FOR ANY AND ALL ASSISTANCE. THIS QUOTE SUMS IT UP WELL, 'SIMPLY EXTENDING THE WARRANTY COVERAGE FOR THE RADIATOR WITHOUT WARNING CONSUMERS OF THE CONSEQUENCES TO THE TRANSMISSION ONLY MAKES SENSE IF NISSAN IS LOOKING TO CUT THEIR LOSSES. WHY DIDN'T NISSAN WARN CONSUMERS THAT THE TRANSMISSION COULD FAIL QUICKLY AS A RESULT OF A CRACKED COOLER TUBE? HOW MANY CONSUMERS MUST SUFFER TRANSMISSION...

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY ON 7/13/2019 I FELT MY TRUCK JERKING/TUGGING WHICH HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. ON 7/14/2019 THE 'SERVICE ENGINE' LIGHT CAME ON AND THE JERKING WAS MORE NOTICEABLE, I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALER FOR SERVICE ON 7/16/2019 AND I WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS COOLANT MIXED IN WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND THE TCM EVENTUALLY FRIED SINCE IT IS HOUSED INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION, APPARENTLY THE TRANSMISSION COOLING HOSES ROUTE TO THE RADIATOR AND THE ONLY REMEDY IS TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AND THE RADIATOR. I SEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO. THE PROBLEM

WHILE ON VACATION TRANSMISSION FAILURE DUE TO COOLANT MIXING WITH TRANSMISSION FAULTY RADIATOR TAKEN TO MT HOLLY NISSAN ASAP WHILE DRIVING IT WAS A SAFETY HAZZARD

GOT IN MY 2007 FRONTIER TO GO TO WORK ON MONDAY MORNING ,GOT ABOUT THREE BLOCKS AND PULLED OUT ONTO THE MAIN STREET AND MY TRUCK WENT FROM THIRD GEAR BACK INTO 1ST GEAR I WAS ONLY DOING THE SPEED LIMIT OF 60KM AN HOUR, THEN LIMPED IT HOME TO FIND OUT MY RAD WAS CRACKED ,I DO TAKE VERY GOOD CARE OF MY TRUCK AND FOR THIS TO GO ALL OF A SUDDEN. I THINK NISSAN SHOULD COVER THE COST .I ONLY HAVE 110 KMS ON IT !!!

MY TRUCK SERVICE LIGTH COME ON 09/25/2018 TOOK IT TO A TRANSMISSION MECHANIC HE SAID THERE WAS ANTIFREEZE IN THE TRANSMISSION THE SAID WAS BAD FOR THAT HE SAID IT WOULD COST 2500 HUNDRED TO FIX I'VE HAD THIS TRUCK SEEN 2007 I NEVER HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM 😒

WE HAD JUST HAD OUR OIL CHANGED IN OUR NISSAN FRONTIER AND HAD A GENERAL CHECK OF THE VEHICLE BEFORE DRIVING IT ON A VACATION TO ANOTHER STATE. EVERYTHING WAS IN PERFECT WORKING ORDER. WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW AND IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN WELL-MAINTAINED. IT HAS 118,000 MILES. WHILE DRIVING HOME LESS THAN A WEEK AFTER WE LEFT, WE NOTICED THAT THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN SLIPPING AND COOLANT WAS SUDDENLY LEAKING FROM THE TRUCK. WE ALSO NOTICED A PINK OR ORANGE FLUID MIXED WITH THE COOLANT. WE WERE >3 HOURS AWAY FROM HOME WHEN THIS HAPPENED. THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPAGE GOT WORSE AS WE WERE DRIVING. WE WERE LUCKILY ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME AND TOOK OUR VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE. WE FOUND OUT THAT THIS TRUCK HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AS OTHER NISSANS--COOLANT MIXED WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID, CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION TO SUDDENLY FAIL. NOW THE VEHICLE IS NOT DRIVEABLE...

TRANSMISSION WENT INTO LIMP MODE LEAVING DRIVEWAY. CLEARED BY SHUTTING OFF & RESTART. DID THIS TWICE THEN WOULD NOT RESET. TOOK TO SHOP & DIAGNOSED CONTAMINATED TRANNY FLUID & RUINED TRANSMISSION. ONE PART REPLACED WAS NISSAN OEM TCM. THREE MONTHS AFTER REBUILD SAME THING HAPPENED ON HIGHWAY BUT COULD NOT CLEAR LIMP MODE. $400 TOW TO SHOP BUT THEY SAID ALL TESTED AND PASSED, RESET CODES. HAPPENED AGAIN ON HIGHWAY AND DROVE TO NISSAN DEALER IN FLAGSTAFF. THEY DIAGNOSED LACK OF COMMUNICATION WITH TCM AND SAID IT WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN, AND TO GET TO SHOP FOR DIAGNOSIS WITHOUT TURNING OFF THE ENGINE. THE THIRD TIME THIS HAPPENED ON HIGHWAY DROVE SLOW IN LIMP MODE BACK TO ORIGNIAL SHOP THAT REBUILT TRANSMISSION. TRANSMISSION SHOP AFTER DIAGNOSTIC SAID OEM TCM FAILED. AVONDALE NISSAN SUPPLIED SHOP WITH NEW TCM BUT ONLY AFTER FAILED TCM WAS RETURNED. TOTAL EXPENSES OVER $7000 AND LOSS OF...

LOST POWER TO TRANSMISSION WHILE DRIVING DOWN ROAD WITH GRANDSON IN CAR SEAT. SAW THE SES (SERVICE ENGINE SOON) LIGHT AND COASTED OFF TO SIDE OF HIGHWAY. VERY SCARY!

NISSAN FRONTIER TRANSMISSION REVERSE WENT OUT IN HEAVY TRAFFIC.

CROSS-CONTAMINATION BETWEEN AMY FREEZE IN TRANSMISSION FLUID. TRANSMISSION MECHANIC QUOTED AT $4000 TO REPLACE FIX PROBLEM

RADIATOR LEAKED FLUID INTO THE TRANSMISSION CASE CAUSING TRANSMISSION FAILURE AT 146000 MILES. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WILE ON THE HIGHWAY TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR NEEDS REPLACEMENT FOR 5000 DOLLARS.

THE RADIATOR IS DEFECTIVE AND LET'S THE ANTI-FREZEE MIX WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID.

TRANSMISSION FAILURE DUE TO RADIATOR COOLANT LEAKING INTO TRANSMISSION. DRIVING CONDITION RESULTED IN SUDDEN HARD DOWNSHIFTS AND EVENTUALLY LED TO A NO START CONDITION. UPON INSPECTING, THE AT CONTROL FUSE WAS BLOWN AND WHEN REPLACED THE VEHICLE CRANKED, ONLY TO HAVE THE FUSE BLOW AGAIN. THE TRANSMISSION, LIKELY NEED TO BE REPLACED TO REMEDY THE ISSUE. THIS ISSUE IS KNOWN AND UNFORTUNATELY, LITTLE HAS BEEN DONE TO HOLD THE MANUFACTURER ACCOUNTABLE.

ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, HAD CHECKED BY NISSAN DEALERSHIP, SAID ANTIFREEZE IN TRANSMISSION CAUSED BY BAD LINES IN RADIATOR, COMMON PROBLEM WITH NISSAN,SAID NISSAN HAD AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THIS PROBLEM, BUT RAN OUT, WOULD COST 6,000 TO FIX THIS PROBLEM

IN JANUARY 2018 MY NISSAN WAS RUNNING GREAT ....DROVE TO WORK AND WHEN I CAME OUT TO GO HOME THE TRUCK WOULDN'T START..MY TRUCK HAS BEEN SITTING SINCE THEN..CANT AFFORD A NEW TRANSMISSION BUT I WAS TOLD IT IS THE MAIN BOARD TO THE TRANSMISSION..I HAVE POWER BUT IT WILL NOT START.THE VEHICLE REMAINS IN MY GARAGE...I HAD NO WARNING BEFORE THE THIS HAPPENED.HAD TO PAY A TOW FEE STRAIGHT TO NISSAN DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS MY BATTERY AND STARTER..WE \REPLACED BOTH AND STILL NOTHING.I SURE HOPE SOMEONE CAN HELP ME BECAUSE THE COST TO FIX THE PROBLEM AS I WAS TOLD WAS GONNA BE AROUND $4500 THEY WANNA REPLACE THE TRANMISSION

CAR STUTTERS WHEN I ACCELERATE WHIL GOING UPHILL BETWEEN 40 AND 60 MILES AN HOUR. DEALERSHIP MECHANIC REPORTED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FLUID HAD BEEN CONTAMINATED BY THE RADIATOR FAILING. THERE ARE 102,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP IS CHARGING $6,100 TO REPAIR A TRUCK THAT IS WORTH LESS THAN THAT. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT AS I AM 2,000 MILES PAST THE WARRANTY, THEY WILL NOT DISCOUNT THE PRICE OF REPAIR, EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A WELL DOCUMENTED ISSUE. NEITHER THE DEALER I BOUGHT THE TRUCK FROM OR THE DEALER PERFORMING MAINTENANCE FOR THE LAST THREE YEARS HAS EVER MENTIONED OR CHECKED FOR THE ISSUE.

TAKATA RECALL TRANSMISSION STOP PULLING I HAVE WATER IN MY TRANSMISSION NO WARNING AT ALL I WAS AT A RED LIGHT AND IT JUST STOP GOING??

TAKATA RECALL, THE FRONTIER TORIC CONVERTER INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION STARTED VIBRATING AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS NOT SHIFTING SMOOTHLY. TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS MILKY LOOKING ACCORDING TO NAPA WHEN THEY CHANGED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID.

KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS CAR, CROSS CONTAMINATION RADIATOR TO TRANSMISSION.. COOLANT LEAK INTO TRANSMISSION. 6MONTHS OVER WARRANTY.

THE AIRBAG STARTED FLASHING AND AROUND 35-40 MPH IT FEELS LIKE YOU ARE HITTING RUMBLE STRIPS. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THE RADIATOR FLUID IS MIXING IN THE TRANSMISSION. REPLACEMENT OF TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR IS OVER $4,500.

IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING DOWN A BUSY PUBLIC HIGHWAY THE TRANSMISSION STARTS TO GO OUT WITH NO SIGNS LEADING UP TO FAILURE.

RADIATOR BROKE AND MIXED FLUIDS- BOTH TRANI AND RADIATOR. TRANI BROKE AS A RESULT OF IT. I SPENT 5K TO FIX. I HAD A WARRANTY I PURCHASED FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND IT WOULD HONOR THE REPAIR BECAUSE IT WAS CAUSED BY THE RADIATOR.

DOING GENERAL CHECK UP OF MY TRUCK WHILE PERFORMING AN OIL CHANGE NOTICED SLUDGES IN THE RADIATOR. IMMEDIATELY PERFORMED BYPASS AND DRAINED THE TRANSMISSION TO FIND IT FULL OF COOLANT. FIXED THE ISSUE MYSELF AFTER ALL THE NEW PARTS ARRIVED EARLY ENOUGH TO SAVE THE TRANSMISSION. HONESTLY FEEL LIKE NISSAN OWES EVERYONE THAT HAD THIS ISSUE A BRAND NEW TRUCK NO QUESTIONS ASKED NOT RIGHT SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN AFFECTED BY THIS ISSUE AND NHTSA SOMEHOW DENIED THE CLAIM ACCORDING TO THEIR INSPECTION DO YOUR JOB SLAM NISSAN MAKE THEM PAY UP.

DRIVERS AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON. ALSO TRANSMISSION SLIPPING ANTI-FREEZE MIXING WITH TRANSMISSION FLUID.

OUR 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER'S RADIATOR LEAKED INTO OUR TRANSMISSION AND RUINED OUR TRANSMISSION AT 110,000 MILES. THE VEHICLE STARTED SLIPPING AND STUTTERING CHANGING GEARS WHILE WE WERE DRIVING AND IT THEN LOCKED UP WHEN WE PULLED INTO A GAS STATION AND WE COULD NOT SHIFT THE CAR INTO GEAR. THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED WHERE THE SHOP IS TELLING US IT NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR. WHEN I CALLED THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP, THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE, BUT I AM OUT OF LUCK BECAUSE IT IS NO LONGER COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE REPAIR IS OVER A $5200 FIX. THIS IS A DIRECT RESULT OF A BAD MANUFACTURED RADIATOR, NO FAULT OF OUR OWN, AND IT HAS NOW RUINED OUR TRUCK.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FAILURE DUE TO RADIATOR FAILURE AND COOLANT CONTAMINATION

RADIATOR LEAKS INTO TRANSMISSION CAUSING FAILURE. THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED INTO NEUTRAL ENTERING 45 MPH TRAFFIC ON A 4 LANE CITY STREET LEAVING ME STRANDED AND BLOCKING TRAFFIC. IT IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP AND WILL COST 3000.00.

VEHICLE OVERHEATED WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH ON INTERSTATE, FOLLOWED BY AUTOMATIC SHIFT SPUTTERING BETWEEN 3 AND 4TH GEARS. TAKEN TO MECHANIC AND WAS NOTIFIED THAT OVERHEATING WAS RESULT OF RADIATOR FAILURE, WHICH CAUSED RADIATOR FLUID TO MIX WITH TRANSMISSION FLUID. REPAIR COST $3400 TO REPLACE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION. AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATING 1 MONTH AFTER TAKATA RECALL EXPIRED.

A KNOWN ISSUE WAS NEVER CORRECTED WITH MY VEHICLE CAUSING THE COOLANT TO LEAK INTO THE TRANSMISSION. NISSAN KNEW OF THE PROBLEM AND NEVER DID ANYTHING TO NOTIFY ME. YET THEY STILL SEND ME LETTERS ASKING IF I WOULD LIKE TO TRADE IN MY VEHICLE. MY VEHICLE BROKE DOWN IN THER EXACT WAY THEY DESCRIBED IT WOULD AND STILL, THEY WERE UNWILLING TO HELP WITH REPAIRS.

NISSAN RECOGNIZED LEAK IN RADIATOR, LEADING TO CORROSION IN TRANSMISSION RESULTING IN CLUNKING SHIFTING WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, UNTIL TRANSMISSION CANNOT SHIFT BY ITSELF. SECRET WARRANTY BULLETIN PUT OUT BUT ONLY TO NISSAN SERVICE CENTRES AND NOT SHARED WITH VEHICLES OWNERS UNTIL TO LATE FOR MOST. IF THEY RECALLED OR FIXED THE RADIATOR, WOULD NOT NOW NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION REPAIR FOR ~$7000. TRUCK WILL NO LONGER GO UP HILLS UNLESS ONE SHIFTS AS IF IT WERE MANUAL

WHEN DRIVING MY 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER WITH A 191000 MILES AND TRUCK STARTS TO SLOW DOWN, IT WOULD DOWN SHIFT ROUGH. MADE APPT FOR NEXT DAY WITH MECHANIC. IT STILL BEING THE SAME DAY I DROVE MY SON TO THE PARK AND CAME TO A STOP , TRUCK DOWN SHIFT WAS ROUGH AGAIN AND SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON, PUSHED ON GAS AND TRUCK FELT LIKE IT LOST POWER. GOT TO PARK A BLOCK AWAY, TURNED TRUCK OFF AND IT NEVER STARTED AGAIN. TOWED TO A MECHANIC . $1100 LATER, MECHANIC SAYS TOW IT TO THE NISSAN DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC BECAUSE THE MODULAR INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT WORKING AND THEY CAN TELL WHAT'S WRONG. I GET IT TOWED TO NISSAN DEALER FOR $90 AND $450(3HRS OF LABOR TO DIAGNOSE TRUCK) LATER, NISSAN SAID RADIATOR FLUID CROSS CONTAMINATED WITH TRANSMISSION AND RUINED IT. ALSO FOUND TRANSMISSION FLUID AND...

TAKATA RECALL. I WENT TO GO DO A TRANSMISSION FLUSH. AND MECHANIC SAYS HE CANT FLUSH IT CAUSE THERES COOLANT MIXED IN WITH TRANSMISSION FLUID. THEN ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING HOME.
