Two problems related to camshaft position sensor have been reported for the 2006 Nissan Frontier. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2006 Nissan Frontier based on all problems reported for the 2006 Frontier.
Highway driving at 55 mph the engine stalled and stopped in mid-traffic resulting multiple system loss; including power steering. Warning lights that illuminated were service engine soon and, slip. Researching this combination with the associated engine failure shows a minimum failure of the cam shaft sensor and possible interference with engine cooling. Additional research shows that this a recall issue for Frontiers. But, when I entered my VIN into your system to check recalls, the reponse is that there are no recalls for this vehicle. That seems in conflict with what is being said about there being a recall and the obvious extreme danger of engine and system failures at highway speeds.
Camshaft sensors (cps?) replaced today at dealer. Friday my truck stalled as I pulled into a highway at night. Almost got broadsided by tractor trailor truck. These sensor failures cause a rapid stall under power and hard starting after the stalls. Last month I had the crankshaft sensors replaced as well. Before that the ipdm relay recall gave me problems. I'm still fighting to get my fuel sending unit replaced (Nissan will only cover customers that spend a lot of money at the dealers, I was told this by Nissan!). I've had the rear end, transmission and radiator, driveshaft and propeller shaft replaced due to failed u-joints. Axle seals (on the new rear) are leaking again I understand a clogged vent may be to blame. Tire pressure sensors are shot and catalytic converters shot. Get this company to recall some of this stuff and force them to pay to fix this junk before someone gets killed!.
