general problems of the 2010 Nissan Frontier

My complaint is that my vehicle is turning off with a brand newly installed battery and my Nissan dealership cannot read my car to understand why this is happening. They kept my vehicle for close to a month and still did not fix the problem. The vehicle never fails to turn over, but it just loses power and turns off like someone snatched out the battery. Sometimes it fails to turn over, right away, but then it turns over and I can drive it a few miles before it stalls on me again, even while driving. I have 64,500 miles on this vehicle and I have babied it since I purchased it brand new in 12/2009. The slip light comes on and the o/d light flashes and then the vehicle gets confused and shuts off. It is annoying. It feels like a battery issue and my Nissan dealership changed what they called a faulty positive terminal hook-up but I still have this issue where my vehicle will not stay powered. I have to repeatedly start the vehicle back up and barely make it home. I was never in a crash, but I did hit the bottom of my vehicle on an abutment that was in a automotive parking lot while I was driving at 3mph. But this happened in 2014 December and I had the vehicle looked at and drove it for almost two years without any problems.

Driving down the road about 60mph and truck will just shut off with no warning.

On October 29, 2016 my airbag light came on and stayed on. Took it to jenkins Nissan of leesburg FL. They charged me $95. 00 to check the problem, then said it would be $800. 00 to replace the module but if that didn’t work the next thing they could try would be $1,000. 00, but they could not guarantee that it would fix the problem. Then my tire pressure light came on and stayed on about 3 years ago…same scenario with jenkins Nissan… you pay us, but no guarantee that they can fix it. Then my horn stopped working about a year ago. Same scenario with jenkins Nissan. I took my truck to another mechanic, everything is fixed for one price. The problem with everything was evidently connected. These issues in my opinion are safety hazards and should be recalled.

Vehicle would crank but not start. Took to repair shop where they cleaned the battery posts. Replaced battery. Vehicle still showed resistance before slowly cranking. Vibration of rpm and speedometer needles. Cleaned the posts again, now motor will hardly turn over, numerous lights on dash flash intermitantly.

The contact owns a 2010 Nissan Frontier. While attempting to start the vehicle, the ignition would not turn over and the gauges on the instrument panel vibrated. The failure recurred on numerous occasions. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or independent mechanic; however, the vehicle was taken to an auto part store where they diagnosed that the vehicle could have an electrical corrosion. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 26,000.

Driving on hwy electrical controls stopped. Speedometer/odometer,tachometer,fuel gauge stopped responding and dropped to zero or froze. This has happened multiple times since then. Eventually they come back on line, but during that time you must depend on other drivers to keep at safe/legal speeds and remember how much gas was in the tank when you started driving.

With the trend towards laws banning hand held cell phone operation I purchased a 2010 Nissan Frontier pro4x on March 4, 2010 which includes a hands free feature. The hands free capability of my truck would not support safe driving in states that have or have pending legislation that ban hand held cell phone operation while driving. Since day one name recognition fails to find the correct person. All persons called complain about low, distant sounding volumn with high levels of backgroung noise (tunnel effect). Initially the poor performance was blamed on my iphone 3gs which was and is keep current. Dealer management and technicians failed to correct or improve the hands free performance. My dealer's service advisor and technicians (4) in five and half hours using their own ios and android equiped phones failed to get proper hands free performance in my truck, or, in a new 2011 Nissan Frontier pro4x. During the time my truck was being troubled shot I test drove a 2011 Nissan quest. My iphone 3gs paired and names were recognized perfectly. I recently bought and tried an iphone 4 and a motorola droid x in my truck. Name recognition still does not work and call quality remains unsatisfactory. Nissan factory technicians were contacted and no successfull solution were provided nor was there any indication that follow up actions initiated.
