Wiper Problems of Nissan Frontier

Heater does not warm up. Ran the truck for an hour and no heat to defrost windshield. This also occurs while driving and the defroster won't clear the windshield, and have to resort to using a rag. Looked for possible causes on the internet, and found this is a common complaint. There are many articles suggesting where to look for resolution. There was a similar complaint on this site listed under other from January of 2025. Being unable to keep the windshield clear with the defroster is a safety risk due to poor visibility or distraction while using a rag to clear it.

Dealer has verified that a gap around the windshield at the top of the passenger side in front of the sun visor is large enough to allow air into it as to create a whistling noise when reaching speeds of up to 70 mph. It is only a matter of time that water intrusion will occur & it is possible a windshield will lift & loosen & possibly may become airborne. I believe a recall should be issued immediately to fix the issue before a major incident occurs. Nissan is aware of the issue & is covering under warranty up to 36,000 miles only. For others who have extended warranties they are not covering the defect. With the amount of response on social media I would estimate that this issue affects well over 50% of Frontiers. It is a well known issue with the manufacturer yet they will not do a voluntary recall. They need help deciding to do the right thing!!.

The rearview mirror has begun to delaminate causing a safety hazard of visibility. I have never once cleaned it with chemicals or touched the glass. I believe it was due to heat and vehicle parked outside over time. Temps do not get hotter than 97 degrees so this is a major concern for areas that receive high temps. Mirror is available for pictures or physical inspection. I will be bringing this to the dealerships attention during next service. The vehicle has 44,000 miles and this has never happened to any vehicle I have owned.

The nut that holds the windshield wiper arm onto the vehicle backed itself off the bolt allowing the wiper arm assembly to pivot the wiper arm over the drivers side a pilar and rest on top of the drivers side rear view mirror where it got stuck, rendering the wiper inoperable this incident happened while driving on the interstate during a moderate rain storm, while traveling approximately 70-75 miles per hour. My own safety and the safety of others was compromised due to the lack of visibility out the front windshield while the wiper arm was not functioning and rain water was collecting on the windshield. Fortunately the at the time of the incident I was approximately 1/4 to 1/2 mile from an exit and was able to get off the interstate and wait at a gas station until conditions improved to the point the wiper was not needed. No waning lights or messages were produced by the vehicle, before or after the wiper malfunction. The vehicle was brought to the Nissan dealership it was purchased from, where they tightened the wiper nut. The dealership did not document this fix, so I contacted Nissan north America and an internal case was opened with them. At time of this report, I am still waiting to hear back from the dealership about taking the vehicle back to them to have it properly inspected and documented.

I was driving home or not and it was raining. I turned the windshield wipers on. They were working to begin with but after a few minutes, they just quit working altogether. You could hear the motor running for the wiper, but they just wasn’t moving so I had to see it on the side of the road to it. Quit raining so I could make it home. And couldn’t find the part to fix the windshield wipers so my boyfriend has rigged it to where it would work.

Vehicle blower turns off after going through car wash, or intermittently while driving. Can cause issues with fogging up windows and visibility when driving when happening on freeway. Unsure as to nature of why.

My sun roof spontaneously exploded. Heard a lid pop looked up and the entire window was shattered. I was on the highway.

I heard a load pop similar to a gun shot. My sun roof had just spontaneously exploded. It buckled in the middle and the whole roof was shattered.

Side mirrors on the Nissan Frontier don't work good with stick on round convex mirrors. I still have hard a time seeing the vehicle next to me. I tried 3", 2", and 1. 5" inch on my truck.

I took my vehicle in for wiper repair and the technician attached a computer to the vehicle and the computer told him the wipers were functioning properly. The technician said he could not duplicate the problem, the technician did not turn the wipers on to visually see the problem and depended on the computer for a resolution. The switch was replaced ($500. 00) but the problem remained. A body control module (bcm <$700. 00 part>) was ordered prior to 25 Nov 2012 and to date 9 Mar 2013 has not been received. I have driven for 4 months of rain/snow season without proper wiper functioning. This has been unsafe for myself as well as my passengers as well as others on the road. [xxx] @ Nissan consumer affairs has no eta for the part, no answer as to why the part is not available and does not know what will be done to compensate for the delay.
