general problems of the 2006 Nissan Frontier

The contact owns a 2006 Nissan Frontier. The contact stated that the vehicle was leaking oil. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact drove the vehicle to a local dealer who diagnosed that the valve cover gasket needed to be replaced. Additionally, the spark plugs needed to be replaced. The dealer later called the contact and informed the contact that the bank #1 and #2 cam sensors and the coil packs needed to be replaced. The contact stated that the dealer later called back and stated that the vehicle was making an abnormal sound and upon performing a diagnostic test, the dealer advised that the timing chain needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired and remained at the dealer. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 110,000.

Truck will turn on once in awhile and I was told it is the ipdm module and that there's a recall on the part. What can I do to get the part sent to me since there is a recall and the mechanic told me that with a recall I can get the part sent to me at no cost to me.

On June 30, July 6 and 9th 2021 I was driving down the street at 50 miles p/hr. And the truck just stopped in the middle of the road. No engine just stopped. I called the nhtsaand reported this according to the October 28th 2010nhtsa campaign number 10v517000 engine control model. It was recalled and supposedly repaired. The person I talked to kathyrn said that it had been recalled and fixed so it was no longer a recall problem. This vechile is a safety recall and still is, it should be fixed, it was evidently not fixed before.

Tl- the contact owns a 2006 Nissan Frontier. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to start, when attempted to drive. There was no warning indicator light illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or an independent mechanic for a diagnostic testing. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was unknown. Aw.

Vehicle will not change gears and is sluggish. The display on the speedometer does not show the position of the transmission. I have spent over 600 dollars to find out that the transmission control module is bad and that there was a recall to fix coolent leaking into the transmission fluid. My vehicle is still broken because of the part cost 1100 usd and the repair. Total bill is 1600 usd. This was a known problem and should be fixed without me paying a dime. My vehicle was in motion. Now it won't even get up to speed the transmission sounds as if it is stuck in a gear. Very erratic. My cruise control also just blinks and when the mechanic tested the codes it gave a network failure code.

On 11/10/2018 while driving on the freeway with no warning light my 2006 Nissan starts to lose power!!! I was able to get off the freeway and pull into a gas station to call aaa to tow it to a mechanic. The mechanic told me the transmission has coolent in it and the transmission will need I be rebuilt or replaced with a rebuilt transmission. He said there was a crack in the coolent hose that was a manufacture defect. I never got any warning light until after the transmission failed.

Cross contamination coolant and transmission . Vehicle will not start. Was perfectly fine one month ago when took it to Nissan for service.

While driving truck on highway it occasionally felt like I was driving over rumble strips.

Tl the contact owns a 2006 Nissan Frontier. While driving 35 mph, the vehicle started to rattle and shake. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the timing chain failed. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer (reed Nissan, 3776 w colonial dr, orlando, FL 32808) was contacted and stated there was no recall on the vehicle. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 193,000.

When I drive on highway, my 2006 Frontier is shaking or vibrating even if I completely stop, I have 118,000 mileage. I went to my dealer and change the spark plug, change the valve gasket cover, and do oil change because the service engine went on. I did finished the service, my service advisor called my phone and he said that my truck is ready for pick up. I arrived, went to the cashier I paid $748 for the service, got my truck. Then I drove after a munite the shaking issue is still thier so I called my advisor, he advised me to bring back and do diagnos test for $150. After the diagnose test they said they found missing accelaration and need to replace 4 ignition coil for $1114. 00 parts/labor. Unfortunately I paid $749 for the recent repair, so, because I spent a lot of money for the first repair, he only want me do 2 ignition coil replaced for $775 parts/labor.

Nissan timing chain needs replaced, Nissan has not published TSB's about the issue. Costs are 4000 by Nissan. Bought truck used. If Nissan has not published any tsbs, why should a consumer have to shell out thousands of dollars to fix the issue.

Tl-the contact owns a 2006 Nissan pickupv6. The contact stated that the vehicle would start by it self with the key in his packet, and when he depress the brake pedal the engine would failed. The contact also state that when he disconnect or reconnect the battery the engine would start up without the key in the ignition. The failure recurred three times. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 71,000. Aw.

The transmission on my truck suddenly went out with no warning during my morning commute in heavy traffic on the 202 loop in phoenix. Shifting to a different gear had the same effect as stepping on the gas, which was that the engine revved with no increase or decrease in speed. I had to coast across 4 lanes of fast moving traffic. It was an incredibly dangerous situation. I am told by the Nissan dealership that transmission fluid mixed with coolant and that it was a catastrophic failure. I have received no notices of any kind from Nissan and was shocked to learn that this is a known, commonly occurring defect and that the defect manifests instantaneously and without warning most of the time. Nissan should be held accountable for the defective system and for not notifying me that I should have the dealer fix it before they put my life and property and that of every person around me at risk.

Cross contamination of the engine coolant and transmission fluid causing a transmission failure.

Driving going 50 trunk shut off,luckily I was able to get off the highway. It happened around 10 more times over a month before it just quit. Not having high mileage on the truck now or at the time of receiving a warranty notification back in 2012 never thought of it. So we had it towed to put on a fuel pump that it did not need $400. 00 still will not start . I started looking up reviews on Nissan to find out that Nissan has known about this in 2007 . I still owe $3600. 00 on this truck ,bought it new with 24 miles on a lease. . . Loved it. . . So after my lease was up I refinanced 2010 with 41501 miles bought a 3 yr extended warranty,never used it . Now after learning about a CO - pay for a truck really Nissan . . . My truck has 81000 miles . . I don't have 2500. 00 to put in it . Time for Nissan to recall it,and face it you have a problem Nissan . Please I need help.

Vehicle began to shift upward and downward erratically at various speeds and rpm. It would also shake and shudder like the whole vehicle was on a rocky road -- everything vibrating from the frame to the steering wheel. Very sudden, alarming, and disconcerting.

The vehicle struggle to accelerate when pressing on the accelerator.

I have a 2006 Nissan Frontier se 4x4 crew cab with 143396 miles and going about 40-45 miles per hrs I hear a catter in the rear of the truck. Made a appointment with a Nissan dealer in my area and the out come was . . The truck needs a transmission and ratiator replacement and it is out of warranty the replacement at the dealer would be a cost to me of 5132. 13 . Nissan had a class action suite in new york and the only win for us consumers whas that they extented the milage to 100. 000 . I called Nissan and was informed that if I had 120. 000 miles on the truck that there would be a cover under the warranty. Nissan knows that there is a issue with trany and ratiator but they did no recalls so now we are stuck. If you are on a fixed income who has over 5000. 00 dollars laying a round for this kind of repair . I can still drive the truck but its not safe if the trany shuts down on the hwy then what ? looks like a accident waiting to happen. Cant have that . So the truck will sit in my yard till I get some answeres that will help me get this issue solved.

The transmission stopped and my vehicle would not go faster than 2 mph. I could not get it uphill. I had to have it towed. It was constantly jumping forward prior to this incident. On the highway it felt like it couldn't get out of gear.

My Nissan dealer told me I need timing chain guides and it would cost me $1600. 00, then I go on line and Nissan new about this problem in 2009. They said if I had 60,000 miles they would have covered this, they new this was going to happen and did not tell me. This is fraud and something should be done about this. This problem is happening all over the country on these vehicles. What are you going to do about this?.

For three consecutive times I have been having a problem with my car. When I drive it for a few miles after I turn it off and I wanted to start it again I have to wait like an hour to go on again. I have take it a couple of times to the dealer and had charge me $ 450. 00 and two or three years after same problem but they never had told me what the problem is. What can I do in this case?.

I own a 2006 Nissan Frontier, it was delivered with only half the keys programmed for the vehicle, a strange rattling of plastic shrouding in the engine compartment and as I found out a fast set of tires later, the front end out of alignment [ too much toe in ]. When I read the manual I found out that my 4wd vehicle was "not intended to be used off of the road", this was not in any of the presales literature and the reason I buy 4wd is so I can use it off road. At 100 miles after warranty I had to take it in because the fuel sending unit had failed, about a $600 repair on a part that should last 200,000 miles. The mechanic told me their dealership is replacing about one of these a week on a couple of models. When I picked it up I got the trouble light on the way home, I scanned it to see what the problem was [code po448 ]. I took it back. The first canister they ordered showed up broken [ kind of fragile for something mounted on the bottom of a 4wd ]. Parts replaced under the emissions warranty were 14953zp50c filter-canister, 14950-ea20a canister assy. E, and 14935-am60b valve assy. -CO. The service order says " . . . Inspected/found no flow very rusty. . . . ". As the vehicle only has 36,000 miles on it this does not bode well for the future.
