general problems of the 2011 Nissan Frontier

The brakes have failed several times, seems to be a known issues and affecting others. While our Nissan truck is older, we had our Nissan checked at midas, and then at the local continental Nissan location, that didn’t really help, found a part that helped but only for a short period of time, as this part crapped out again yesterday 3/19/2025, and even though the brake pushed to the floor trying to stop as the brakes stopped working again! the part was only approx 2-5 months old. Nissan Frontier dealership or other places to find the actual parts needed have no real parts that would actually fix the issue. It is very sad for those in the same issue as us, pay $$$ for a used vehicle that cannot seem to be fixed, if they have even tried. I’m pretty sure nothing will be done, but wanted to file this complaint. I’m not expecting anything will be reviewed on this issue, since nothing has been seen thus far for an actual fix via Nissan etc.

The actuator assembly - anti skid has failed on my 2011 Frontier. My vehicle has cluster lights illuminated for abs, brake, vdc, and slip. My independent mechanic pulled the codes and stated that they indicate the abs module is going bad. This part has been discontinued by Nissan so I am not able to replace the part with a new part. The abs system will not properly function which I would assume would be a safety issue and might impact more than the braking performance of the vehicle.

Abs module failed. The repair shop called the local Nissan dealership for parts. The Nissan dealership said the failure was a known issue. I called Nissan customer service for more info and they said no complaints had been filed.

Vdc off/ slip light are coming on and off. I pushed the vsc button and it stays. Its full of fluid. Id just like to have a tech look at them, ive heard of this happening to other people on different Frontier forums.

The contact owns a 2011 Nissan Frontier. While starting the vehicle, it accelerated without warning. The brake pedal was applied, but it was hard and failed to respond. As a result, the vehicle crashed into a fence. There were no injuries and a police report was not filed. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure via email. No assistance was provided. The VIN was unknown. The failure mileage was 150,000.

Both rear axles are leaking at 60,265 miles. I was told this could lead to brake pad contamination which would reduce braking capability as well as the effectiveness o the parking brake.

When apply the brakes dont stop firmly. In pair of times involved in posible dead people thats walk in road. When apply brakes are going down to the top of the floor.

The vent for the rear differential clogged and a back up of pressure pushed the seals on the axle causing extensive damage to the axle and brakes. I do not drive off road or submerge the drive train.

Brake rotors have developed severe rust along brake pad surface. Not superficial rust. The surface is "pitted" with rust. Vehicle has 17000 miles. All 4 rotors require "turning" or replacement way too early. This confirmed by two reliable mechanics.
