10/2010 ordered a 2011 Nissan Frontier pro-4x ; delivered 11/26/10, 9 miles. Personal commuting and recreation; not commercial duty! only pulled pop-up camper & utility trailers a few times, often smell clutch "burn" after backing up (especially slightly inclined driveway: both max 2k lbs): truck is rated for towing 6k lbs: so limits never exceeded. About 18 months & 14k miles the clutch started slipping when going 65 mph on highway in cruise control, slippage causing cruise control to fall off suddenly. Nissan dealer service manager accused me of drag racing, causing excessive wear and the premature failure! unbelievable! he gave me the benefit of the doubt, & in first 3 yr/36k full warrantee so fixed it free: normally a $1,500 bill. Just passed 33k miles and 3 1/2 years original ownership (8/2014): when I operate/let the clutch out roughness felt in the mechanism; engine rpms rev higher than normal during gear changes; trying to accelerate engine rpms rev higher than normal (up to 1k) and vehicle lacks speed increase response; cruise control drops off at 30, 40, 50 and 65 mph within 30 seconds! smell clutch burn in city traffic. Past 3 year warrantee; still within 5 year drive train warrantee period; so going to take it to a dealer again and see what they say about it. I have 30+ years of driving manual shift vehicles; drive very conservative and smooth; and commercial driver licensed. Seriously disappointed about this Nissan Frontier's clutch situation! two clutches failed within 36k miles and less than 4 yrs off the assembly line; performing normal driving duties! others too. .
