LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP TOLD ME I NEEDED A NEW TRANS AT THE COST OF $5780 AND CHANGE. I STILL DRIVE SAID VEHICLE FOR I HAVE NO CHOICE AND TRANS IS GETTING WORSE. IF TRANS LOCKS UP WHILE DRIVING COULD CAUSE SAFETY ISSUE. EVEN THOUGH VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY TRANSMISSION SHOULD LAST MORE THAN 85000 MILES. NISSAN REFUSED TO HELP. *TR

TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC I LOOKED IN MY REARVIEW MIRROR AND THEN BACK TO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. I WAS DOING 15-20 MPH AND SAW THEY HAD STOPPED AND I WAS IN DANGER OF A COLLISION IF FAST ACTION WASN'T TAKEN. WHEN DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL IN A PANIC MANNER THE VEHICLE DID NOT SLOW DUE THE ACCELERATOR BEING DEPRESSED AT THE SAME TIME AS THE BRAKE DUE TO THE CLOSENESS OF THE PEDAL. THIS RESULTED IN A ACCIDENT INVOLVING 3 AUTOS INCLUDING MY 2006 FRONTIER SE 4X4. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN NOTED SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE BY THE CPSC. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER CREW CAB SE 4X4 NEW IN 2006. I HAVE DRIVEN THE VEHICLE LESS THAN MODERATELY AND CURRENTLY HAVE 44,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT RECENTLY DISPLAYED AND I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP. I WAS ADVISED THE FUEL SENDING UNIT NEEDED REPLACED AND WAS GOING TO COST ROUGHLY $600.00. I WAS UPSET WITH THE PRICE, HOWEVER, DID NOT HAVE ANY OTHER CHOICE BUT TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR. I HAVE DECIDED TO WAIT UNTIL I HAVE THE FUNDS FOR SUCH A REPAIR. WHILE RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE, I HAVE COME TO LEARN THROUGH VARIOUS REPAIR SITES ON-LINE AND WORD OF MOUTH FROM OTHER NISSAN OWNERS THAT THIS IS AN EXTREMELY COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL YEAR NISSAN. VEHICLES INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO FRONTIER, X-TERRA AND "Z". I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY A RECALL ON THIS EXPENSIVE PIECE HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED, DUE TO THE PRICE AND OBVIOUS MANUFACTURE DEFAULT IN THE QUALITY. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL VEHICLE SINCE 2008. I RECENTLY HAVE HAD OTHER SERVICE WORK PERFORMED ON MY VEHICLE, AND IF NOT FOR A FRIEND WITH A CODE READER, WOULD HAVE PAID DEARLY FOR SERVICE REPLACEMENTS AT THE DEALERSHIP, DUE TO THE DEALERSHIP NOT ADVISING ME OF THE RECALL ON THESE ISSUES. I HAVE OWNED SEVERAL NEW VEHICLES OVER THE YEARS, MANY DIFFERENT BRANDS, BUT HAVE NEVER HAD THE ISSUES THAT I AM HAVING WITH THE NISSAN BRAND BEFORE. THE FUEL GAUGE ISSUE SHOULD BE A MANUFACTURE DEFAULT AND LIKEWISE SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPLACED AT NO EXPENSE TO THE CONSUMER. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

NISSAN IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2004-2006 ARMADA, TITAN, INFINITI QX56 AND MODEL YEAR 2005-2006 FRONTIER, PATHFINDER AND XTERRA VEHICLES. THE INTELLIGENT POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE (IPDM) ASSEMBLY CONTAINS AN ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM) RELAY THAT HAS A DIODE FOR ELECTRICAL CURRENT NOISE REDUCTION. THE ECM RELAY MAY ALLOW SILICON VAPOR TO FORM AND, OVER TIME, THE SILICON EVAPORATES FROM THE DIODE MOLDING WHICH CAUSES SILICON OXIDE TO DEVELOP ON THE ECM RELAY CONTACT DUE TO ARCING.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS COULD CAUSE ENGINE STALLING INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE ECM RELAY INSIDE THE IPDM ASSEMBLY. THIS SERVICE WILL BE PERFORMED FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON DECEMBER 6, 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.
Mar 3, 2010
NISSAN IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2006 AND MODEL YEAR 2008 FRONTIER, XTERRA AND PATHFINDER VEHICLES. THE MOLDED FUEL TANK SHELLS CAN DEFORM, CAUSING THE FUEL SENDER FLOAT ARM TO CONTACT AN EMBOSSMENT MOLDED INTO THE TANK SHELL CAUSING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FUEL GAUGE TO SHOW THAT THE VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY ONE QUARTER TANK WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS EMPTY.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS COULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO RUN OUT OF GAS AND STALL IN TRAFFIC, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT INSIDE THE FUEL TANK WITH A NEW ONE THAT HAS A MODIFIED FLOAT ARM. THIS SERVICE WILL BE PERFORMED FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN ON OR BEFORE MARCH 22, 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.

IF THIS OCCURS, THE CZS MAY INTERNALLY RUST RESULTING IN A SIGNAL INTERRUPTION. IF THIS HAPPENS, THE RED AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT WILL ILLUMINATE TO ALERT THE VEHICLE OPERATOR.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS ISSUE COULD RESULT IN THE NON-DEPLOYMENT OF THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER FRONT AIR BAGS IN A CRASH, INCREASING THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FRONT CZS WITH A REDESIGNED SENSOR. THE RECALL BEGAN ON JANUARY 26, 2009. OWNERS IN THE OTHER STATES WILL RECEIVE EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERAGE FOR THE SENSOR TO 10 YEARS. THESE OWNERS WILL BE NOTIFIED OF THE WARRANTY EXTENSION BY MAIL AND WILL RECEIVE A STICKER TO PLACE IN THEIR WARRANTY BOOKLET EXPLAINING THE EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERAGE.

Opened Mar 30, 2026 · No close date supplied
Status: open (inferred from source dates) · Engine And Engine Cooling; Fuel System, Gasoline
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.
