This issue is my radiator and tranmission contamination. First noticed heat didn't work. Mechanic checked radiator,found leak. Began installing new radiator and saw that coolant was already contaminating tranny. Truck dead at dealership. Called Nissan and they created a case. Denied. Escalated case. Denied. Started new escalation today. I have lost my job because I cant get there!!! what's next my home???? paid outright for this truck brand new. Drove all the way to maryland to get it. Less than 5 yrs old!!! but because my mileage was over the 80,000 they wont help. This product already had the flawed components when I drove it off the lot brand new so wtf should mileage have to do with it??? all the faulty sensors were annoying enough but this type of potential for failure should demand total recall. . . . Instead they issue warranty extentions and mileage limitations. I was never notified as a registered Nissan owner when this issue was supposedly sent out last fall. And even if I had been my milage was already over. That should not have mattered as this issue is such a safety and monetary concern. Luckily it didn't fail while I was driving home at 8pm doing 70mph or when I had my kids in it. All in one week I lost vehicle because of flawed product, my job because my flawed vehicle died and my reputation as a reliable and responsible employee. Heartbroken. I want my money back!!!!!!!!!!! never will I buy another Nissan. Greedy & irresponsible company with no sense of commitment to their consumers.
The transmission cooler located in the radiator failed and now radiator has transmission fluid in it and the transmission has water in it. Both are ruined and dealer says it is $9000. Apparently this is a known defect only covered up to 80000 miles and Nissan needs to fix this. If it was a known issue, it could have been fixed for a few hundred bucks. Thank you.
The radiator in the vehicle ruptured, allowing coolant into transmission. This led to loss of power, hard shifting, and slippage while accelerating. Contacted Nissan, they informed me warranty had been extended but I was 1,600 miles over their arbitrarily extended limit. They suggested I contact the dealer for assistance. The delaer repeated that it was outside of warranty period, and estimated repair costs at $7000. I took truck to local shop, who quoted $5500, and now find out that the transmission parts are on backorder and I will be without my work vehicle for about 1 month. Nissan is clearly aware of this driveline failure issue, but they are attempting to push off the cost of their faulty parts onto the consumer, rather than remedy what is a costly and potentially very dangerous defect.
Purchased new 2007 Nissan Frontier-v-6, long wheel-base truck. Expierienced brake problem at 20k miles, replaced by dealer, had low speed whine and brake pedal drop to floor and 35 to 40 mph judder and vibration. Went back to dealer, they checked and noticed the drive shaft was comming apart, they replaced with new one, idicated it was defective from vendor. I have had this truck back into dealer four times since with the same re-occuring problems. They can't find the source or the problem. Zone mgr. For midwest drove the vehicle and indicated that they can't find the problem and they will not replace anything else. I was told to take it to the bbb if I wanted a solution under current lemon laws. He also indicated it will probably fall apart down the road-complete and utter dis-regard for my safety. They are in complete denial that they have a problem with this vehicle. Is it just now that Toyota had a recall for broken/cracked yokes on tacoma's and Nissan is exempt? don't they all buy parts from dana corp. ? Nissan has experienced a large sales surge and are expanding just like gm had in the 70's. They don't have time/talent to take care of their problems just more new vehicles, more engineering problems, push it out the door and let the dealers take care of problems. This somehow has a familiar ring to it like Toyota's problem with acceleration! keep relieing on electronic controls to run the vehicles and take away control fromthe driver. The auto companies need to be investigated further for safety compliance as madison avenue commercials alude to the fact that all of these safety features that are incorporated into vehicles work flawsley when they actually don't! how many more people have to be killed or seriously injured with these so-called safe vehicles, made in USA with cheap china made parts! I'm sure there are more vehicles out on the road with these same re-occuring problems not being replaced or repaired due to mfgr. Defects and problems!!!.
