I was driving my vehicle and I ran out of gas. The gas gauge maintained a quarter of a tank and the gas light never came on. I check for recalls and it turns out this is a known recall for this vehicle, but it says 0 recalls. But the problem still persists, therefore the vehicle is still suffering from this problem. After filling the gas after the car ran out. I tested this theory 2 more times to confirm that indeed the vehicle was suffering from this recall, in which i run out of gas without knowing. Secondly, the links associated with the other recall, have also failed/failing as the vehicle is becoming unstable while driving at times and a mechanic has already determined the links to be the cause, yet when I check my VIN number, it says 0 recalls. Yet my vehicle clearly suffers from this. Can...
WHILE DRIVING THE TRUCK WILL SHUT OFF JUST LIKE THE KEY WAS TURNED OFF. THIS HAPPENED ONE OR TWO TIMES A DAY OVER A TEN DAY PERIOD, I SWAPPED MY OLD KEY WITH MY WIFE'S KEY AND THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY. I TOOK IT TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY WANTED TO DO $7000 OF REPAIRS AND NOTHING ABOUT THE KEY AND IGNITION SWITCH PROBLEM. SO I HAVE BEEN USING MY WIFE'S KEY FOR THE PAST FIVE DAYS AND NO ISSUES. NISSAN CLAIMS THEY NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS LIKE THIS ALTHOUGH THE INTERNET SHOWS A RECALL IN 2010 FOR 2003-2006 FRONTIERS FOR A VERY SIMILAR PROBLEM.

MY 2008 NISSAN FRONTIER 4X4 CREWCAB IS THROWN ALL OVER THE ROAD BY NORMAL WIND DRAFT WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND ON WINDY DAYS IT IS A NIGHTMARE TO KEEP ON THE ROAD. YOU CANNOT RELAX WHILE DRIVING OR YOU WILL FIND YOURSELF ON THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD BEFORE YOU KNOW IT! I AM AFRAID I AM GOING END UP IN A WRECK BECAUSE OF IT OR AT THE VERY LEAST I BELIEVE I MIGHT BE STOP AND ACCUSED OF DRIVING DRUNK. I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND HAD IT CHECKED. NOTHING MECHANICALLY WRONG. THEY TELL ME IT IS WIND DRAFT. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK AS I CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT NOW AND I DON'T THINK NISSAN IS GOING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT, EVEN THOUGH THE LOOK ON THE SHOP FORMAN'S FACE TOLD ME HE KNOWS IT IS A...
