Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Brakes on 2019 and earlier are mushy . In an emergency stop brakes do not stop the vehicle properly. Brake pedal travel is excessive and pushing pedal farther, while in motion, does not increase braking force. This is a known issue to Nissan, and upon taking the vehicle to dealership, it was stated that this complaint is normal operation for Frontier brakes.”
NHTSA complaint #11340299, filed 2020-07, 4,500 miles“I was attempting to drive my Frontier on Christmas day 2025 when several lights appeared on the dash. I also noticed my speedometer no longer functioned. I returned home immediately. Two days later, I took it in to a local repair shop and they told me the malfunction code was for ABS and I had to take it to the dealership. Within a week, I took it to the dealership and they confirmed the malfunction code and ordered part number 47660-9BK5E. I have not been able to drive my truck since then because the part is unavailable due to high demand. I suspect many people are having this issue. …”
