Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“While driving on the highway on 7/13/2019 I felt my truck jerking/tugging which has never happened before. On 7/14/2019 the 'service engine' light came on and the jerking was more noticeable, I made an appointment with the local Nissan dealer for service on 7/16/2019 and I was told that there is coolant mixed in with the transmission and the TCM eventually fried since it is housed inside the transmission, apparently the transmission cooling hoses route to the radiator and the only remedy is to replace the transmission and the radiator. …”

“The d for drive would no longer show -to took it transmission place and they detected coolant leak into transmission. Found out Nissan had lost a class action suit over this and realized my truck is over limit for milage this is second major repair for this vehicle had a transmission control module replaced and was partially reimbursed after a big fight with dealer and Nissan. Will never buy another Nissan after this I hope you hang them out to dry over this.”

“No power to wheels...transmission coolant and engine coolant mix together due to malfunction in radiator causing catastrophic transmission failure. Cost to replace radiator and transmission is $5200...research on this matter indicates that Nissan corp. Knew of the problem and that a class action law suit coving this defect has been approved, but, the deadline to apply has passed...my truck just broke and it is now too late to register for the approved class action law suit. How can I get reimbursed like so many others have???”

“Entering 4 lane highway with 70 MPH traffic. Kicked Frontier into passing gear to enter ongoing traffic. Frontier stalled and slowed instead of increasing speed. Transmission slippage and jerking caused motor to increase rpms. I had to move my truck over to right of paved lane and onto pulloff area in order to prevent accident. I was told at the Nissan dealership that I had transmission damage due to radiator fluid leaking into transmission . It cost me $2500 to repair a problem that could have cost lives. I understand this was a problem that was not recalled by Nissan.”

NHTSA complaint #10865900, filed 2016-05, 68,000 miles

“As I pulled into my parking space, the vehicle suddenly accelerated, and before I could stand on the brakes it had jump forward about 6 feet onto the sidewalk in front of my building. While standing on the brakes, the engine continued to accelerate, rear tires spinning and smoking, until I shut the engine off. Note that I was just turning into my parking space, running at an idle and preparing to stop when the sudden acceleration occurred. Fortunately, I had my foot on the brake when this happened and I was able to stop before slamming into the building.”
