While turning to go up hill toward home vehicle suddenly died. luckily no one was behind me so i put it in park and after hesitation it finally restarted. i took to dealer,wallace nissan in kingsport, tennessee and they ran ces code. they suggested having right side cam sensor replacement and float in gas tank where it has quit reading at a cost of approximately 700 to 800 dollars. currently has not been repaired. ps : i performed the bypass to avoid cross contamination of radiator fluid and transmission fluid myself after reading of all of the problems that has caused.the transmission has a separate cooler; i don't know why it goes through the bottom of the radiator anyway. current milage is 49,899 which is low miles for a 2006 model. a person should not have to surf the web to know what their vehicle needs when nissan should be notifying them. people are paying for unnecessary repairs where a simple recall could have saved them thousands of dollars and more importantly someone's life from an accident.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 nissan frontier. while driving approximately 30 mph, the rpms increased to 4,000. when the vehicle was placed into reverse, the gear went into neutral. when the vehicle was shifted into drive, it went into low gear without warning. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the radiator fluid leaked into the transmission, and the radiator and the transmission needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the dealer and manufacturer were not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 129,000.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 nissan frontier. the contact stated that the vehicle failed to start, when attempting to drive. there was no warning indicator light illuminated. the vehicle was not taken to a dealer or an independent mechanic for a diagnostic testing. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was unknown.
Vehicle will not change gears and is sluggish. the display on the speedometer does not show the position of the transmission. i have spent over 600 dollars to find out that the transmission control module is bad and that there was a recall to fix coolent leaking into the transmission fluid. my vehicle is still broken because of the part cost 1100 usd and the repair. total bill is 1600 usd. this was a known problem and should be fixed without me paying a dime. my vehicle was in motion. now it won't even get up to speed the transmission sounds as if it is stuck in a gear. very erratic. my cruise control also just blinks and when the mechanic tested the codes it gave a network failure code
The 2 complaints i have regarding my frontier have been recalled for the same yr that my frontier is, but i didn't receive a recall notice for either one. first is the fuel pump sending unit, which shows you how much gas you have in the vehicle. my fuel gauge will show that i have no gas even after i fill up my tank, but then i can park for a few minutes & then the gauge will show that i have a full tank of gas. i ran a diagnostic test, & the results displayed a code that meant it needed a new sending unit. however, with this particular model, i cannot just get the sending unit, because it only comes in one whole piece, meaning that the mechanics will have to empty the gas tank & drop the tank, which is much more work. therefore, this repair will cost me $900.00. the second complaint & the most outrageous & disappointing one is regarding my transmission & radiator. recently i took my frontier into the shop to habe the transmission fluid checked & changed if it needed to be. however, the mechanic called & informed that ...
Radiator system
On 11/10/2018 while driving on the freeway with no warning light my 2006 nissan starts to lose power!!! i was able to get off the freeway and pull into a gas station to call aaa to tow it to a mechanic. the mechanic told me the transmission has coolent in it and the transmission will need i be rebuilt or replaced with a rebuilt transmission. he said there was a crack in the coolent hose that was a manufacture defect. i never got any warning light until after the transmission failed.
My transmission went out. the mechanic said the radiator leaked into the transmission. this repair costed me $4000, new transmission and new radiator. was considering buying another nissan but will never buy another one. i will be providing the bill as soon as i can scan them.
Cross contamination coolant and transmission . vehicle will not start. was perfectly fine one month ago when took it to nissan for service
Highway driving at 55 mph the engine stalled and stopped in mid-traffic resulting multiple system loss; including power steering. warning lights that illuminated were service engine soon and, slip. researching this combination with the associated engine failure shows a minimum failure of the cam shaft sensor and possible interference with engine cooling. additional research shows that this a recall issue for frontiers. but, when i entered my vin into your system to check recalls, the reponse is that there are no recalls for this vehicle. that seems in conflict with what is being said about there being a recall and the obvious extreme danger of engine and system failures at highway speeds
Dear nissan service: i am the owner of a 2006 nissan frontier se with approximately 124,000 miles. the vehicle was purchased used from nalley nissan in 2012 with approximately 89,000 miles on it. the history of the vehicle was meticulous, minus that the catalytic converter had been replaced by nalley nissan. in february 04, 2016 i had the left catalytic converter replaced at nalley nissan. the right catalytic converter was replaced prior to purchasing the vehicle. my vehicle has already had both catalytic converters replaced. on may 11, 2018 i was advised that i need both of my catalytic converters replaced again at stone mountain nissan. my check engine light had came on agaiinhowever, both of the catalytic converters have been previously replaced. it should be noted that this in not an inexpensive repair. i only used premium gasoline in my vehicle to ensure its proper performance and get my vehicle regularly maintained an nissan dealerships. it is rather obvious that there is something else going on with my ...
While driving truck on highway it occasionally felt like i was driving over rumble strips.
The evidence of engine and power transfer evidently progressed over of days and regressed within a matter of hours, then minutes to the point where engine would barely start and obviously barely propel the truck over 10 mph w/engine dying out regardless of throttle or automatic shift position. i limped the vehicle to the nearest respected and qualified tech bob wells -total car care. this is the second time nissan's lack of "due diligence" left customer down, all within a year or so. a frustrating,time consuming,and costly experience.
