general problems of the 2007 Nissan Frontier

I bought the 2007 Nissan Frontier off a dealership as a used vehicle with no warranty. One week later the transmission started to slip, the following week the slippage was worse until it lost power and it left me stranded in a parking lot. I took it to my mechanic and he said that it's a possibility that the transmission computer had gone out and it would be close to $5,000 dollars to replace the transmission. The transmission fuse keeps blowing out once the truck is started. The mechanic said it could be a possibility that it was cross contamination since Nissan was known for faulty radiators. So I'm stuck with a truck payment through a loan with a transmission out and I can't even drive it. There are thousands and thousands of complaints online from people having the exact same issue.

Transmission and coolant fluid contamination due to faulty radiator!.

My Frontier was involved in a fuel level sensor recall in 2010 and was never replaced. The cel came on today(10/17/2018). I called my local dealer and they said the warranty on that part was increased 72;000 miles or three years. So as of today it is expired. I thought if a part was under recall it was for the life of vehicle. I worked at this dealership for over twenty years and never heard of anything like this. If a part is defective does it matter when it fails?.

Fuel guage doesn't work correctly. Sometimes it show the right level and other times it shows empty or somewhere in between. Ran out of fuel the other day on the highway. I know there was a recall on this for 2006 -2008, but it says my VIN number doesn't have a recall for this.

Fuel gauge operating erratic showing empty when I fill up and the low fuel light coming on then after driving it shows a different reading. I don't know how much gas is in it at any time because gauge not working correctly.

The contact owns a 2007 Nissan Frontier. While driving at unknown speeds, the fuel gauge indicated that there was fuel in the fuel tank, but in reality, there was no fuel in the vehicle. While in traffic on a hill, the vehicle stalled due to lack of fuel; however, the fuel gauge displayed a quarter tank of fuel. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. There were no open recalls for the vehicle. The failure mileage was 72,000.

The airbag sensor began flashing when driving on a highway and the error code is for the passenger seatbelt. The non-dealer mechanic was not able to repair and the airbags are deactivated. The engine control module failed when the vehicle was in motion on a city street. The ecm is not available from Nissan or after market for this 10 year old vehicle. The ecm cannot be rebuilt. Thus, this low mileage vehicle in otherwise excellent condition is now junk. Nissan has failed to provide expected vehicle reliability and consumer protections. Apparently, Nissan ceased manufacture (including after market) of this critical engine component soon after initial sale without making any provisions for replacement upon failure. I am told that this is a standard business practice for Nissan.

Our 07 Nissan Frontier was being driven to be inspected for registration when, at a stop light, it just turned off and would not start. We had it towed to a mechanic. He had to send it to the local Nissan dealership for the computer to be replaced and reprogrammed. According to this mechanic, the leak from the radiator has mixed with transmission fluid in the transmission causing all these components to fail and need replacing. This is unacceptable!!.

Tl- the contact owns a 2007 Nissan Frontier. The contact stated that the vehicle was hard to reverse. There were no warning indicators illuminated during or after the failure. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where the failure was diagnosed as the the transmission malfunction and that it needed t be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and advised the contact due to the vehicle being out of warranty they could offer no further assistance. The approximate vehicle failure mileage was 45000. Kh.

My husband has 2007 Nissan Frontier. When he drove a car go to work, suddenly stop and after that didn't start any more. We never got into accident before and taking care of truck very good. Tow company had to tow his truck to Nissan dealership and they said it's computer problem so cost $800, takes a week to fix. After a week they called us,said they found another problem so cost $2000,takes one more week. After 2 weeks we still didn't hear anything from them. After more than 1 month finally we got call from Nissan and they still can't fix yet and they found something wrong around transmission area. . . . . They said seems like had a fire or burn around area and effected to all computer system. So now we have to change transmission and radiator which is cost $7000. It's mean we have to pay first $2000 plus $7000 = $9000 just fix for the car. I guess we still have a extention warranty on the truck so they can cover $4000 but still a lot for us cause we just paid off payment on this truck. Ofcourse I was thinking to buy new car if we can trade in this truck but sales person said they don't take this truck because this truck is trush? so I went to online to serch about Nissan transmisson, came out a lot. So many similar trouble has been reported. And now im really hopeing you guys will anounce this transmisson is under the recall! it's not couple hundreds cost, it's more than couple thousands cost for!! it's not cheap. Dealership is just adding all cost that they doing. If it's our fault,I understand we have to pay but sound like not our fault. Good thing car didn't get a fire around transmission area. It's going to be 2 month since Nissan keeping our truck. My husband has been driving rent a car to go work and rent a car is not cheap. Hopefully we will hear something from you guys and it will be a good news for us.

Fuel gauge not working properly. I brought the truck to dealer and they determined it was due to faulty fuel level sensor sending unit. Cost: $511 this should be a recall since it is a safety issue in that I could run out of gas on the highway and possibly become involved in a collision.

Fuel gauge drops to empty after filling up with gas. Engine check light comes on. Sometimes the gauge will go slowly back to normal position then engine check light goes off.

Gas gauge quit working, making possibility of being stranded on the road. After filling the tank, the gas gauge shows same as before, then after a while, the gas gauge shows empty with the fuel light on, then after a while it shows some gas in the tank (maybe a little over half), then a while later it goes up to almost full. This is a common problem with this model, Nissan needs a recall to fix this!.

After filling up the gas tank, the fuel gauge registered as empty and the check engine light came on. After several trips, the gauge finally hit the top, but the light is still on.

After filling up with fuel on 10/1/2012 my gas gauge went to empty and the service engine soon light came on. Ever since the gauge would fluctuate up and down and the service engine light remains on. I see lots of post on-line about this faulty fuel sending unit on alot of different Nissan vehicle models and years. How come there hasn't been a recall for this part?.

Many problems with my 2007 Frontier. First my clutch went at about 65000 miles . Have been driving stick all my life and never needed a clutch. The rear axel leaked and created a bad squeal and damaged my brake pads. My low tire pressure sensors went bad and my heater core went at 60000 miles. I am also getting an electrical smell inside the cabin. Wow never had a vehicle have so much go wrong in less than 5 years. Nissan dealer and Nissan corporate both refused to accept responsibility of any defects.

After refueling the vehicle, I noticed that the fuel gauge was still indicating that it had only 1/4 tank of fuel. I drove about 2 miles and the "service engine soon" light came on. After arriving at home I shut off the vehicle, checked the fuel cap for tightness, and restarted. The fuel gauge dropped to empty, the low fuel light came on, and the ses light remained on. Later that day I drove about 35 miles under the aforementioned conditions. Upon stopping and restarting the vehicle, the fuel gauge went to full, but the ses light remained on. That is the situation as it stands now. I have not contacted Nissan directly yet, but I have researched the situation, and found numerous reports online of the same problem, and of Nissan's unwillingness to resolve the issue at no charge to the consumer. (it is apparently a defective fuel sending unit. ) my reason for reporting this is twofold. 1) to make everyone aware of the issue, and 2) to express my concerns that a malfunctioning fuel gauge could cause a crash if the driver ran out of fuel while in motion, and had to make an emergency stop.

Tl-the contact owns a 2007 Nissan Frontier. The contact stated that while parked, when the vehicle is started, the air bag light is illuminated and blinking. The contact also stated that while driving or parked, the fuel guage failed. The guage fluctuates different levels even when gas is in the vehicle. The gas light becomes illuminated also. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the airbag and the airbag module needed to be replaced. The fuel guage was not diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 82,000. Ed.

When my 2007 Frontier reached a little over 50k miles, noticed service engine soon light coming on. Stayed on, turned truck on and off, noticed last time that the gauges all shook a little before engine started, now when to start again to take another child to school and engine won't start at all, makes click click sound and all gauges shake, see many similar complaints, looks like this needs a recall!!!!!!!!!!!.

2007 Nissan Frontier with 49k miles gas gauge not working properly on and off. Service engine soon light keeps going on and off at same time.

First noticeable complaint is the automatic transmission that does not shift back down in lower gear when climbing a hill. It jerks and shakes at that moment. Secondly, the tire pressure sensor does not go off after correcting the tire pressure and keeping it constant. Were told the dealer will have to reset,which they did once and it happened again so for 2 years we have just lived with it, keeping check on tire pressure the old way. Last but definitely not least for this is the cost factor involved, is the alignment cannot be done due to needing to purchase and have installed 4 camber kits! Nissan should have done this already for a $25,000 vehicle!! OH and finally this just happened but the rear passenger power window switch went completely out!.

Driver seat belt doesn't retract. Passenger front airbag warning lights on. A/c switch has dead spot position #2.
