Four problems related to service brakes have been reported for the 2008 Nissan Frontier. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2008 Nissan Frontier based on all problems reported for the 2008 Frontier.
The calipers in this kit have seized and been replaced (fronts 7/22,rears3/23) the front calipers have seized again 8/23. There is something wrong with these calipers and a potential for crash/injury situation, as a break components this reliability is unacceptable and potential dangerous. I feel this should be investigated before someone dies due to this/these products.
While driving the truck will shut off just like the key was turned off. This happened one or two times a day over a ten day period, I swapped my old key with my wife's key and the problem went away. I took it to a Nissan dealership and they wanted to do $7000 of repairs and nothing about the key and ignition switch problem. So I have been using my wife's key for the past five days and no issues. Nissan claims they never had any problems like this although the internet shows a recall in 2010 for 2003-2006 Frontiers for a very similar problem.
Brake pedal goes below the gas pedal. I have hit both pedals in a rush stops.
We own a 2008 Nissan Frontier truck/ 4 wheel drive, 6cyl. The brakes are far too soft,and spongy, require far too much pedal travel to be safe or effective, or to be effectively used by anyone!! all Frontier models have this same problem. They need to be recalled/brake system corrected & made firmer, safer!.
