Transmission damage caused by transmission cooler.
The dealer told me the timing chain needed to be replaced due to a whirring sound
Timing chain has to be repaired at less than 50,000 miles. a class action suit against nissan was just completed roland tellis baron & budd attorneys for owners of nissan frontiers in the states of california and washington where owners are to be reimbursed expense of replacing faulty frontier timing chain that nissan manufacturer allegedly knew were in the trucks that they had sold. in the suit it states that if you have less than 120k miles on your vehicle. i was told by the dealership service center that replacing timing chain at 50k miles is normal. i believe they mispresented the truth in this instance and that i shouldn't have to pay for a repair that is a result of manufacturer error. recently engine stalled in the intersection, i was lucky the chain had not shattered and destroyed my engine.
My truck just reached 80,800 miles and it has lost power. i took it to the nissan dealer for a diagnostic test and it came back with the radiator, transmission and the fuel pump all need to be replaced. they told me i had no warranty on any of these parts as of 2010 and they quoted me almost $7,000 to replace all. after going home and looking up transmission shops i found hundreds of articles about the same problem with thousands of nissan cars. i have never received a notice of recall on my truck. then i find they have sneakily extended their warranty without notifying us and now my truck is 12years old with only 80,800 miles and i need to come up with $7,000 because they failed to notify their clients about their mistakes.
After 2 and a half months of fighting with nissan consumer affairs, nissan has basically told me they do not care about me or the other people affected by this issue or their safety. as sad as it sounds its going to take someone getting killed because of this issue before they open their eyes.

The serpentine drive belt came off 4/26/17, 12/7/17, and 2/10/18 . when it was reinstalled on 12/7/17 the mechanic said they found a reference that said nissan has new serpentine drive belt kit available and if came off again they recommended i get the new kit installed. all three times the belt came off when i started the engine in my driveway. several times it felt like something was slipping when i stepped on the gas after stopping for a stop sign prior to the 3d time it came off.after stopping
Transmission cross contamination with coolant. 72,000 miles on odometer. had transmission failure on the freeway driving full speed, forcing me to quickly move over 6 lanes with no high gear. now i have a $4900 repair bill. i was in the nissan dealership just 1 week prior for an oil change and have had the vehicle serviced at nissan since it was new. i was never told of the recall or that i should bypass the radiator or beware of the problem.

Vehicle engine has shut off completely while at a full stop and while driving. once while making a turn and once while in motion. many frontier owners have experienced the same. took it to one of the best auto techs in florida. diagostic showed "no codes"
Radiator leaking fluid into transmission . notices slight shutter at high speed, approximately 65 mph, in the transmission. vehicle was checked by dealer at 89,000 miles without any issue at that time . dealer would not replace radiator due to no problem at that time. vehicle is at 112000 and now radiator fails. nissan would not cover due to out of extended warranty. faulty designed system and potential safety hazard in my opinion. vehicle at my independent mechanic for new radiator and transmission flush out to see if it will fix problem. major expense for poor design passed onto customer. i will not spend any more money with nissan.
