2007 Nissan Frontier Electrical System Problems

I BOUGHT THE 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER OFF A DEALERSHIP AS A USED VEHICLE WITH NO WARRANTY. ONE WEEK LATER THE TRANSMISSION STARTED TO SLIP, THE FOLLOWING WEEK THE SLIPPAGE WAS WORSE UNTIL IT LOST POWER AND IT LEFT ME STRANDED IN A PARKING LOT. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND HE SAID THAT IT'S A POSSIBILITY THAT THE TRANSMISSION COMPUTER HAD GONE OUT AND IT WOULD BE CLOSE TO $5,000 DOLLARS TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. THE TRANSMISSION FUSE KEEPS BLOWING OUT ONCE THE TRUCK IS STARTED. THE MECHANIC SAID IT COULD BE A POSSIBILITY THAT IT WAS CROSS CONTAMINATION SINCE NISSAN WAS KNOWN FOR FAULTY RADIATORS. SO I'M STUCK WITH A TRUCK PAYMENT THROUGH A LOAN WITH A TRANSMISSION OUT AND I CAN'T EVEN DRIVE IT. THERE ARE THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE FROM PEOPLE HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE.

TRANSMISSION AND COOLANT FLUID CONTAMINATION DUE TO FAULTY RADIATOR!

MY FRONTIER WAS INVOLVED IN A FUEL LEVEL SENSOR RECALL IN 2010 AND WAS NEVER REPLACED.THE CEL CAME ON TODAY(10/17/2018).I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALER AND THEY SAID THE WARRANTY ON THAT PART WAS INCREASED 72;000 MILES OR THREE YEARS.SO AS OF TODAY IT IS EXPIRED.I THOUGHT IF A PART WAS UNDER RECALL IT WAS FOR THE LIFE OF VEHICLE. I WORKED AT THIS DEALERSHIP FOR OVER TWENTY YEARS AND NEVER HEARD OF ANYTHING LIKE THIS.IF A PART IS DEFECTIVE DOES IT MATTER WHEN IT FAILS?

FUEL GUAGE DOESN'T WORK CORRECTLY. SOMETIMES IT SHOW THE RIGHT LEVEL AND OTHER TIMES IT SHOWS EMPTY OR SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN. RAN OUT OF FUEL THE OTHER DAY ON THE HIGHWAY. I KNOW THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS FOR 2006 -2008, BUT IT SAYS MY VIN NUMBER DOESN'T HAVE A RECALL FOR THIS.

FUEL GAUGE OPERATING ERRATIC SHOWING EMPTY WHEN I FILL UP AND THE LOW FUEL LIGHT COMING ON THEN AFTER DRIVING IT SHOWS A DIFFERENT READING. I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH GAS IS IN IT AT ANY TIME BECAUSE GAUGE NOT WORKING CORRECTLY

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER. WHILE DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE FUEL GAUGE INDICATED THAT THERE WAS FUEL IN THE FUEL TANK, BUT IN REALITY, THERE WAS NO FUEL IN THE VEHICLE. WHILE IN TRAFFIC ON A HILL, THE VEHICLE STALLED DUE TO LACK OF FUEL; HOWEVER, THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED A QUARTER TANK OF FUEL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THERE WERE NO OPEN RECALLS FOR THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,000.

OUR 07 NISSAN FRONTIER WAS BEING DRIVEN TO BE INSPECTED FOR REGISTRATION WHEN, AT A STOP LIGHT, IT JUST TURNED OFF AND WOULD NOT START. WE HAD IT TOWED TO A MECHANIC. HE HAD TO SEND IT TO THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP FOR THE COMPUTER TO BE REPLACED AND REPROGRAMMED. ACCORDING TO THIS MECHANIC, THE LEAK FROM THE RADIATOR HAS MIXED WITH TRANSMISSION FLUID IN THE TRANSMISSION CAUSING ALL THESE COMPONENTS TO FAIL AND NEED REPLACING. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!!

MY HUSBAND HAS 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER. WHEN HE DROVE A CAR GO TO WORK, SUDDENLY STOP AND AFTER THAT DIDN'T START ANY MORE. WE NEVER GOT INTO ACCIDENT BEFORE AND TAKING CARE OF TRUCK VERY GOOD. TOW COMPANY HAD TO TOW HIS TRUCK TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT'S COMPUTER PROBLEM SO COST $800, TAKES A WEEK TO FIX. AFTER A WEEK THEY CALLED US,SAID THEY FOUND ANOTHER PROBLEM SO COST $2000,TAKES ONE MORE WEEK. AFTER 2 WEEKS WE STILL DIDN'T HEAR ANYTHING FROM THEM.AFTER MORE THAN 1 MONTH FINALLY WE GOT CALL FROM NISSAN AND THEY STILL CAN'T FIX YET AND THEY FOUND SOMETHING WRONG AROUND TRANSMISSION AREA..... THEY SAID SEEMS LIKE HAD A FIRE OR BURN AROUND AREA AND EFFECTED TO ALL COMPUTER SYSTEM. SO NOW WE HAVE TO CHANGE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR WHICH IS COST $7000. IT'S MEAN WE HAVE TO PAY FIRST $2000 PLUS $7000 = $9000 JUST FIX FOR THE CAR. I GUESS WE STILL HAVE A EXTENSION WARRANTY ON THE TRUCK SO THEY CAN COVER $4000 BUT STILL A LOT FOR US CAUSE WE JUST PAID OFF PAYMENT ON THIS TRUCK. OFCOURSE I WAS THINKING TO BUY NEW CAR IF WE CAN TRADE IN THIS TRUCK BUT SALES PERSON SAID THEY DON'T TAKE THIS TRUCK BECAUSE THIS TRUCK IS TRASH? SO I WENT TO ONLINE TO SEARCH ABOUT NISSAN TRANSMISSION, CAME OUT A LOT. SO MANY SIMILAR TROUBLE HAS BEEN REPORTED.AND NOW IM REALLY HOPING YOU GUYS WILL ANNOUNCE THIS TRANSMISSION IS UNDER THE RECALL! IT'S NOT COUPLE HUNDREDS COST, IT'S MORE THAN COUPLE THOUSANDS COST FOR!! IT'S NOT CHEAP. DEALERSHIP IS JUST ADDING ALL COST THAT THEY DOING. IF IT'S OUR FAULT,I UNDERSTAND WE HAVE TO PAY BUT SOUND LIKE NOT OUR FAULT. GOOD THING CAR DIDN'T GET A FIRE AROUND TRANSMISSION AREA. IT'S GOING TO BE 2 MONTH SINCE NISSAN KEEPING OUR TRUCK. MY HUSBAND HAS BEEN DRIVING RENT A CAR TO GO WORK AND RENT A CAR IS NOT CHEAP. HOPEFULLY WE WILL HEAR SOMETHING FROM YOU GUYS AND IT WILL BE A GOOD NEWS FOR US. *TR

THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN FANTASTIC IN EVERY WAY BUT ONE. ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR STAYED ON AFTER THE BLINKING STOPPED. NORMALLY IT WOULD BLINK A FEW TIMES AND QUIT. AFTER I CHECKED THE TIRES AND MADE SURE THEY WERE ALL AT 35LBS, I TRIED THE OLD TRICK OF DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY TO MAKE THE COMPUTER RE BOOT. IN THIS CASE THAT DIDN'T WORK, SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. THEY SAID EVERYTHING WORKED FINE, BUT I HAD A HARD CODE. THEY CLEARED IT AND I WENT ON MY WAY. WORKED OK THAT DAY AND THE NEXT START BUT AFTER THAT I GOT THE HARD CODE AGAIN. MY TIRES WERE STILL AT 35 LBS. SO ABOUT A MONTH LATER, THE NEXT TIME I DROVE BY THE DEALERSHIP, I WENT IN AGAIN. SAME REPLY, SAME RESULT. ITS BEEN ABOUT A YEAR NOW AND IM OVER 100K. WANNA BET IF I GO BACK, THEY FIND AND FIX THE PROBLEM THIS TIME. COURSE NOW I HV TO PAY INSTEAD OF NISSAN. *TR

FUEL GAUGE DROPS TO EMPTY AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS. ENGINE CHECK LIGHT COMES ON. SOMETIMES THE GAUGE WILL GO SLOWLY BACK TO NORMAL POSITION THEN ENGINE CHECK LIGHT GOES OFF. *TR

AFTER FILLING UP WITH FUEL ON 10/1/2012 MY GAS GAUGE WENT TO EMPTY AND THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON. EVER SINCE THE GAUGE WOULD FLUCTUATE UP AND DOWN AND THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT REMAINS ON. I SEE LOTS OF POST ON-LINE ABOUT THIS FAULTY FUEL SENDING UNIT ON ALOT OF DIFFERENT NISSAN VEHICLE MODELS AND YEARS. HOW COME THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL FOR THIS PART? *TR

MY 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER HAS APPROXIMATELY 52,000 MILES. UPON ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE IT WOULD NOT START AND I NOTICED THAT ALL THE GAUGES ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WERE ALL SHAKING. AFTER JUMP STARTING THE VEHICLE IT STARTED HOWEVER I NOTICED THE TRIP MILEAGE WAS RESET TO "000.0" AND THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT WAS ON. AFTER SHUTTING THE ENGINE AND ATTEMPTING TO RESTART THE VEHICLE IT WOULD NOT RESTART. WHEN I ATTEMPT TO START I HEAR A CLICK CLICK SOUND AND ALL GAUGES WOULD SHAKE. I CHARGED THE BATTERY AND THE PROBLEM SUBSIDED FOR A FEW WEEKS HOWEVER THE SAME PROBLEM LISTED ABOVE BEGAN TO RE-OCCUR. *TR

WHEN MY 2007 FRONTIER REACHED A LITTLE OVER 50K MILES, NOTICED SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT COMING ON. STAYED ON, TURNED TRUCK ON AND OFF, NOTICED LAST TIME THAT THE GAUGES ALL SHOOK A LITTLE BEFORE ENGINE STARTED, NOW WHEN TO START AGAIN TO TAKE ANOTHER CHILD TO SCHOOL AND ENGINE WON'T START AT ALL, MAKES CLICK CLICK SOUND AND ALL GAUGES SHAKE, SEE MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS, LOOKS LIKE THIS NEEDS A RECALL!!!!!!!!!!! *TR

WHLIE DRIVING VEHICLE IT QUIT RUNNING. NISSAN SERVICE DEPT SAID THE ELECTRONIC COMPUTER FAILED. I WAS FORTUNATE THERE WAS NOT AN ACCIDENT.*CN

FIRST NOTICEABLE COMPLAINT IS THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION THAT DOES NOT SHIFT BACK DOWN IN LOWER GEAR WHEN CLIMBING A HILL. IT JERKS AND SHAKES AT THAT MOMENT.SECONDLY, THE TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR DOES NOT GO OFF AFTER CORRECTING THE TIRE PRESSURE AND KEEPING IT CONSTANT. WERE TOLD THE DEALER WILL HAVE TO RESET,WHICH THEY DID ONCE AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN SO FOR 2 YEARS WE HAVE JUST LIVED WITH IT, KEEPING CHECK ON TIRE PRESSURE THE OLD WAY. LAST BUT DEFINITELY NOT LEAST FOR THIS IS THE COST FACTOR INVOLVED, IS THE ALIGNMENT CANNOT BE DONE DUE TO NEEDING TO PURCHASE AND HAVE INSTALLED 4 CAMBER KITS! NISSAN SHOULD HAVE DONE THIS ALREADY FOR A $25,000 VEHICLE!! OH AND FINALLY THIS JUST HAPPENED BUT THE REAR PASSENGER POWER WINDOW SWITCH WENT COMPLETELY OUT! *TR
