AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SLIPPED WHEN CHANGING GEARS. ALSO IT FELT AS IF I WAS DRIVING OVER GROVES IN THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC WHO INFORMED ME OF MULTIPLE PROBLEMS WITH THE RADIATOR LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND THAT I WAS 4K MILES OVER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. I NEVER EVEN KNEW I HAD AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, I GUESS NISSAN DIDN'T WANT TOO MANY PEOPLE TO KNOW EVEN THOUGH MY VEHICLE IS REGISTERED WITH THEM. MY MECHANIC SAID THIS PROBLEM WAS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE NISSAN DESIGN AND SINCE IT WAS PAST THE 80K MILE WARRANTY IT WAS NOT COVERED. RADIATOR WAS REPLACED. I CALLED THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY WOULD NOT EXTEND OR HONOR ANY WARRANTY. MY MECHANIC TOLD ME TO WATCH MY TRANSMISSION, BECAUSE THAT WILL BE THE NEXT TO GO. MY ONLY HOPE IS NISSAN DOES THE RIGHT THING (FORCED IF NECESSARY) AND REPAIRS OR REPLACES WHAT IS CLEARLY A FAULTY DESIGN. THIS HAS THE POSSIBILITY OF CAUSING ACCIDENTS AT THE WORST AND ABANDONMENT ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD OF A FAMILY AT BEST. GET THEM TO FIX THIS ISSUE AND PROTECT THE DRIVERS ON THE ROAD PLEASE. *JS

THE TRUCK BEGAN TO VIBRATE AND SHUDDER INTERMITTENTLY WHILE IN OVERDRIVE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (55-65MPH). A COUPLE WEEKS LATER TRANSMISSION STARTING SHIFTING REALLY HARD, WITH CORRESPONDING CLUNKING SOUND EVERY TIME IT SHIFTED BETWEEN GEARS. I TOOK IT TO MY REGULAR LOCAL MECHANIC WHO FOUND COOLANT MIXED IN TRANSMISSION FLUID DUE TO A RUPTURED ATF LINE INSIDE THE RADIATOR. HE STATED THAT HE HAD INSPECTED NUMEROUS TRUCKS OF SAME VINTAGE THAT ALSO HAD TRANSMISSION FAILURE DUE TO THE SAME RADIATOR DEFECT CAUSING CONTAMINATION OF TRANSMISSION FLUID. HE ADVISED ME THAT MY RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION WOULD NEED TO BE REBUILT OR REPLACED AT THIS POINT. HE RECOMMENDED I CONTACT NISSAN DEALER REGARDING THIS COMMON DEFECT AND INFORMATION ABOUT WARRANTY COVERAGE. I SPOKE TO 2 LOCAL NISSAN DEALERS ON THE PHONE AND WAS TOLD WARRANTY ON RADIATOR ONLY HAD BEEN EXTENDED TO 80000 MILES. AT THIS TIME MY TRUCK HAS 86000 MILES AND PARTS AND SERVICE TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM WOULD NOT BE COVERED BY NISSAN. *TT

THE VEHICLE WAS EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS SHIFTING INTO OVERDRIVE, THEN ONCE IN OVERDRIVE, I WAS LOSING THE CAPABILITY TO ACCELERATE ON THE HIGHWAY AND OTHER AREAS OF SPEEDS GREATER THAN 40 MPH. I NOTICED TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKING FROM THE TRANSMISSION AND TOOK IT TO AN AUTO REPAIR SHOP. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION COOLER HAD FAILED COMPLETELY ALLOWING RADIATOR FLUID TO MIX INTO THE TRANSMISSION FLUID CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE TRANSMISSION. THE REPAIR FOR A NEW RADIATOR AND INSTALLATION, AS WELL AS A RIGOROUS FLUSHING OF THE TRANSMISSION COST $599.00. I AM CURRENTLY, AS OF THIS DAY, IN NEED OF A NEW, USED, OR REBUILT TRANSMISSION BECAUSE OF DAMAGE CAUSED BY THE FAILURE OF THE TRANSMISSION COOLER WITHIN THE RADIATOR. *JS

MY TRUCK BEGAN TO SHAKE AND TREMBLE WHEN I WAS TRYING TO BACK INTO MY DRIVE WAY. THE TRUCK HAD BEEN MAKING NOISES AND I HAD TAKEN THE TRUCK IN TO BE CHECKED BY 3 DIFFERENT MECHANICS. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING AND ONE STATED HE HEARD THE NOISE BUT DID NOT KNOW WHAT IT WAS. THE TRUCK CONTINUE TO MAKE THE NOISE OF A GRINDING AND SHUTTERING SOUND. DID NOT DRIVE BUT TO WORK AND HOME DUE TO THE PROBLEMS. THE NOISE WOULD STOP WHEN THE OVERDRIVE WAS TURNED OFF. LATELY THE TRUCK SOUNDS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS GOING. THE FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT WORK. IT WAS IN A RECALL BUT NISSAN WOULD NOT REPAIR EVEN THOUGH I WAS MAILED THE RECALL AFTER MY MILEAGE WAS TOO HIGH FOR THE REPAIR WHICH MAKES NO SENSE TO ME BECAUSE IF THEY SENT THE NOTICE OUT LATE, WHAT DOES MY MILEAGE HAVE TO DO WITH THEIR NEGLIGENCE TO REPAIR THEIR FAULTY VEHICLES? COULD NOT REPAIR, THE COST WAS OVER $600. HAD TO REPLACE A WHEEL BEARING, OVER $400. TIRE GAUGE LIGHT ON. I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT TROUBLE WITH THIS TRUCK. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER NISSAN PRODUCT. WHEN DEALING WITH THE NISSAN RECALL PEOPLE I FELT AS THOUGH THEY COULD CARE LESS. WORKING ON A FIXED BUDGET AND UNABLE TO PAY FOR HIGH COST OF REPAIR. WHAT CAN YOU DO WHEN THE BIG COMPANIES REFUSE TO REPAIR THEIR TRUCKS AND CARS? I WAS INFORMED THERE WAS NO ONE TO HELP ME. HAVE RUN OUT OF GAS SEVERAL TIMES DUE TO THE GAS GAUGE. I HAVE READ OTHER'S COMPLAINTS ON NISSANS AND I AM SURPRISE THAT NO ONE FORCES THEM TO REPAIR THEIR VEHICLES. THIS IS MY ONLY FORM OF TRANSPORTATION AND WITHOUT THE REPAIRS, I WILL BE RIDING THE BUS. TIRED IN VIRGINIA. THANKS FOR LISTENING. *JS

The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) received a Petition dated February 5, 2026, requesting an investigation into model year (MY) 2006 Nissan Frontier vehicles. The Petitioner alleges that the vehicle poses an imminent fire hazard due to “[a] powerful and persistent odor of raw gasoline” that he says “emanates from the vehicle” and “indicat[es] a breach in fuel system integrity.” He further alleges that the vehicles can experience sudden engine stalling “during startup and operation,” which he believes could cause collisions or loss of vehicle control. The Petitioner further alleges these symptoms are identical to conditions addressed in previous NHTSA recalls (10V-517, 07V-435, and 10V-075) and that the issues persist in the 2006 MY Nissan fleet despite these past actions. ODI is opening this Defect Petition to evaluate the Petitioner’s allegations and determine whether to grant or deny the Petition. The Petition can be viewed at NHTSA.gov under NHTSA Number 11718552.

On February 29, 2012 the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) received a letter petitioning the agency to conduct a defect investigation into MY 2005-2010 Nissan Pathfinder, Frontier, and Xterra vehicles [the subject vehicles] for automatic transmission failures related to failed transmission coolers.NHTSA conducted a comprehensive review of data related to this subject. Our report, documenting this review, is available in the document file for this defect petition.It will also be published in the Federal Register. Of the 2,505 referenced complaints, 638 relate to a potential hazard (unable to maintain speed, no motive power, engine stall) and 1,867 concern customer satisfaction issues including, but not limited to, repair cost, vehicle shudder and shake, and engine overheating.Taking into account the allocation of agency resources and priorities and the likelihood that additional investigation would result in a finding that an unreasonable risk to highway safety exists, we conclude that further investigation is not warranted and deny the petition.ODI Complaint ID numbers are referenced on the next page.
