One problem related to brake disc has been reported for the 2001 Nissan Frontier. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2001 Nissan Frontier based on all problems reported for the 2001 Frontier.
I have a 2001 Nissan Frontier that the right inner pad is worn to the sensor. The disc pad is wearing at noticeable angle from leading edge to trailing edge. The other pads are wearing normally. The truck also has a severe brake pull to the right. The pull is worse when hot. The car is undriveable at this time. The car will swith lanes when the brakes are applied. As an ase certified auto technician I believe the cause is the use of phenolic caliper pistons. Phenolic pistons are known to cause brake pulls, locked up brakes and uneven pad wear.
