My truck just reached 80,800 miles and it has lost power. I took it to the Nissan dealer for a diagnostic test and it came back with the radiator, transmission and the fuel pump all need to be replaced. They told me I had no warranty on any of these parts as of 2010 and they quoted me almost $7,000 to replace all. After going home and looking up transmission shops I found hundreds of articles about the same problem with thousands of Nissan cars. I have never received a notice of recall on my truck. Then I find they have sneakily extended their warranty without notifying us and now my truck is 12years old with only 80,800 miles and I need to come up with $7,000 because they failed to notify their clients about their mistakes.
As I was driving down the freeway @ 70mph in the fast lane on interstate 80 in the san francisco's bay area, my truck suddenly turned off. I had to fight to get from the fast lane, to get over 4 lanes to the shoulder. I had just filled up my truck in berkeley at a chevron, I put $60. 00 in. So I knew I had fuel. I ended up having my truck towed home. The following day I went to auto zone and hooked up the diagnostic reader. It said that I needed a new fuel pump. Upon further read each I found out that this is a typical issue for the Nissan Frontier. It has been so much an issue Nissan recalled 2004 & 2006 models but did not include the 2005 model even though its the same faulty part! I have not been able to have the fuel pump sensor replaced due to cost and I am a single mother. This has happened on numerous occasions and is a severe hazard that should be enforced by you to get Nissan to include the 2005 Nissan Frontier for this death hazard fuel pump sensor issue!!!.
They know about this fuel pump bad ,pay about $600.
After gas tank went down to 1/4 tank, got a fill up at a local gas station. Pulled off and notice that the gas gauge was not reading that it was full. After riding a mile the check engine light came on. Went to local dealership thinking I just needed an oil change; that did not solve the problem. Then was charged $100 for a diagnostic test. The test confirmed: replacement of the fuel pump assembly recommended after the sending unit goes bad. Causing no reading on gas gauge even after gas tank is filled in terms making the check engine light remain on consistently. I brought this truck used still under warranty. Came to find out that the part isn't under warranty but is a common issue with these models from 2004-2007. . . .
