| Service Brakes problems |
On December 29th 2025 I was driving the vehicle in a residential area approximately 40 mph. The interior abs warning lights illuminated. I could here a banging noise coming from the back of the vehicle. I took the vehicle to a Nissan dealership who inspected it and said the entire rear braking system including rotors bubs sensors and axle were damaged and needed to be replaced. The dealership stated the parking brake was engaged while the vehicle was being driven. Never has the parking brake on that vehicle been engaged manually since I purchased it 1 year ago. Cost to repair is $6000 not covered by warranty. Clearly driving a vehicle in a mountain region with a completely destroyed rear brake system is dangerous. A vehicle that inadvertently engages the emergency brake is dangerous. And even being able to operate the vehicle with the emergency brake engaged id dangerous.
We have a fleet of 2023-2025 Nissan Frontiers. Starting in December of 2024 we began having problems with the vehicles electrical system going wild and shutting the trucks down. It causes all of the lights to come on and the truck to stall and not restart, we did not realize that we had a problem until it happened to multiple vehicles over the last several months. A few of them were brought to the dealership where we were told they could not find any problems and just replaced the batteries. So, when some of the others did it, we just replaced the batteries ourselves. This week asked again if there was a known issue and were told Nissan only knows of a battery drain issue. These vehicles are shutting down sometimes while our people are driving them. They also try to restart themselves sometimes. They are automatically applying the breaks when this happens wile the abs light comes on. This is an extremely dangerous situation for our fleet drivers as well as the motoring public. It has happened to 10 of the 15 Frontiers that we own.
It was around 15 degrees outside and I was pulling the truck into my garage to warm it up and the brakes didn't work correctly and I ran into a trash can and destroyed the front grill causing over a $1000 in repairs. No warning lights were on.
Lighting is not sufficient for seeing far enough ahead on low beam and high beam is more like regular, when turning there is hardly any lighting within the turn making it dangerous in my opinion. I recommend slowing almost to stop before making a turn especially to the right. Also I have had to get my right headlight repaired by Nissan within the first 2 months of purchase in July and August of 2024. The right headlight went completely out both times. The lighting on my vehichle is terrible also I notice the breaking is not that great as it takes to long to come to complete stop with normal braking pressure. . . I also do not like the auto idle when coming to a stop as if you have to accelerate quickly it causes a hesitation. Could be bad in an emergency type situation.
