Transmission went into limp mode leaving driveway. Cleared by shutting off & restart. Did this twice then would not reset. Took to shop & diagnosed contaminated tranny fluid & ruined transmission. One part replaced was Nissan oem tcm. Three months after rebuild same thing happened on highway but could not clear limp mode. $400 tow to shop but they said all tested and passed, reset codes. Happened again on highway and drove to Nissan dealer in flagstaff. They diagnosed lack of communication with tcm and said it would happen again, and to get to shop for diagnosis without turning off the engine. The third time this happened on highway drove slow in limp mode back to orignial shop that rebuilt transmission. Transmission shop after diagnostic said oem tcm failed. Avondale Nissan supplied shop with new tcm but only after failed tcm was returned. Total expenses over $7000 and loss of vehicle use for 10 days when transmission was rebuilt and 26 calendar days second time due to difficulty in shop determining exactly what failed because Nissan said tcm not prone to failure history.
Tl-the contact owns a 2007 Nissan Frontier. The contact stated that when the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be serviced, the technician informed that the radiator, transmission, and transmission control module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 100,000. The VIN was unavailable. Ss.
The d for drive would no longer show -to took it transmission place and they detected coolant leak into transmission. Found out Nissan had lost a class action suit over this and realized my truck is over limit for milage this is second major repair for this vehicle had a transmission control module replaced and was partially reimbursed after a big fight with dealer and Nissan. Will never buy another Nissan after this I hope you hang them out to dry over this.
