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.
My truck has had what feels to me like a rough idle for about as long as i've had it. it was fine for several years but a couple of months ago the truck died at a stop light. it started right back up and i didn't think i'd be able to replicate this for a mechanic so i just kept driving it. it also died once on my wife but she didn't tell me about it at the time. a couple of weeks ago i was driving on the highway at lower speeds due to traffic. it died on me again and this time it wouldn't start. i had to have it towed to a nissan dealer. they repaired a part in the transmission and gave it back to me. it seemed ok but after about ten miles it died again. i brought it back and they said they couldn't find anything wrong with it. they cleaned the throttle body and gave it back to me. it is still idling rough. it hasn't died again yet but i'm afraid of what might happen if it does. ...

We had just had our oil changed in our nissan frontier and had a general check of the vehicle before driving it on a vacation to another state. everything was in perfect working order. we purchased this vehicle new and it has always been well-maintained. it has 118,000 miles. while driving home less than a week after we left, we noticed that the transmission began slipping and coolant was suddenly leaking from the truck. we also noticed a pink or orange fluid mixed with the coolant. we were >3 hours away from home when this happened. the transmission slippage got worse as we were driving. we were luckily able to make it home and took our vehicle in for service. we found out that this truck has the same problem as other nissans--coolant mixed with the transmission fluid, causing the transmission to suddenly fail. now the vehicle is not driveable and were are suddenly left with a very big cost to replace the transmission. this sudden failure of the transmission without any warning is extremely unsafe. we could have been stranded far from home or worse, the transmission ...

Transmission was damage due to water coming from the radiator. mechanic explained it to me to be a recall
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
