general problems of the 2013 Nissan Frontier

My daughter backed out of our driveway, put the truck in reverse. She was then unable to put the truck into drive. It got stuck in the middle of the street. Thankfully we live on a quite street with not much traffic during the day. However if this happened in a parking lot it would have been much different. My husband was able to come home from work and manually push it forward, then drove it backwards into a parking spot (out of the middle of the street). He did an internet search and found a solution. Apparently one of the screws holding the gear shifter (park,neutral,reverse,drive. . . ) came loose and was getting hung up on the plastic molding portion of the gear box. It was a simple fix - just pop open the cover and screw the part back in. However this was a terrible thing to happen, and could have really been a much bigger issue than it was. Had it happened in a busy parking lot, busy street, or on a boat ramp. . . . It would have been disastrous. Please consider sending a written notice to all owners. Thank you.

I was told that the transmission cooler is defective during a regular maintence of the transmission.

The vehicle would not shift into drive from neutral. After a few minutes of holding it in drive, I managed to get it to move forward. Then, I could not get it out of drive. It only moved forward. The problem fix is described in this youtube video perfectly. . Read more...

My clutch has prematurely failed at 20500 miles. The truck is less then 2 years old and I have had continuous issues with the clutch including a service appointment at 3000 miles. The dealer ship told me this is not covered because the part is considered normal wear and tear. I have driven a clutch my entire life and have never had any issues like this before. It seems to me that some of Nissan clutch's are "lemons" and they do not want to take the responsibility to fix them because it is a high use part. I think the company should be held accountable for this issue and no one should have to go through what I am going through right now.

Transmission shifter will not go into drive driver and vehicle were stranded on the side of the road. Multiple documented failures for this shifter assembly.

Tl-the contact owns a 2013 Nissan Frontier. The contact stated that stated that after depressing and releasing the brake pedal in traffic, the brake is depressed and once the brake is released the vehicle accelerated without warning. The failure recurred ten times. The vehicle was taken to dealer where it was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 15,000.
