“I have a 2004 Frontier extended cab. My cd player fails to work the truck is out of warranty because I commute to work for a long distance my mileage exceeds the warranty now before the 3 years. You would think you would make a cd player that lasts longer than 20 months. Come on now I have been a Nissan owner since 1984 I have owned 5 nissans. This may be my last one.”
NHTSA complaint #10151378, filed 2006-02, 50,000 miles“Cd player will not eject disc only makes clicking sounds. This happened 24 months after purchase mileage was over warranty. They would not replace it.”
NHTSA complaint #10253956, filed 2009-01, 38,000 miles“Cd player failure. Fails to cd. Only clicking sound. I have read of many others complaining of the same problem. A cd player should not fail within 25 months. Car is over milage so there is no warrenty fix possible.”
