“Many problems with my 2007 Frontier. First my clutch went at about 65000 miles . Have been driving stick all my life and never needed a clutch. The rear axel leaked and created a bad squeal and damaged my brake pads. My low tire pressure sensors went bad and my heater core went at 60000 miles. I am also getting an electrical smell inside the cabin. Wow never had a vehicle have so much go wrong in less than 5 years. Nissan dealer and Nissan corporate both refused to accept responsibility of any defects.”

NHTSA complaint #10191799, filed 2007-05, 500 miles“On 01-13-2011 I was driving my 2007 Nissan Frontier pick up on pa sr 92s. Between nicholson and tunkhannock ABS and slip warning lights came on. I called my Nissan dealer immediately, explained the problem and difficulties I had handling the vehicle on the snow covered road. I was told that earliest appointment I could get was 01-20-2011. On my way back, when I drove on another snowy road I applied 4x4 system but it failed to engage. Now the ABS, slip and 4x4 did not work and I had hard times to make it safely home. …”
NHTSA complaint #10376571, filed 2011-01, 80,150 miles“When parking '07 Nissan Frontier into a parking stall, I pressed on the brake pedal to come to a full stop. The engine then started to race and move the truck forward. I already had the brake pedal down to the floor with no response, the truck climb the parking curb and hit a sitgn and then a parked car. Couldn't believe that nothing could stop the truck till it hit the car and then the engine stopped racing. I had the insurance adjuster take alook at the truck and made him press the brakes where it went down to the floor. …”
NHTSA complaint #10207378, filed 2007-10, 2,691 miles“When accelerator was pressed down there was an abnormal acceleration of vehicle while in slow traffic. It raced for a second then returned to normal. This has happened four times in the last 3 months. I checked to see if the floor mat had possibly caused this but the floor mat was under the gas peddle in the normal position.”
