VEHICLE WILL NOT CHANGE GEARS AND IS SLUGGISH. THE DISPLAY ON THE SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT SHOW THE POSITION OF THE TRANSMISSION. I HAVE SPENT OVER 600 DOLLARS TO FIND OUT THAT THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE IS BAD AND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL TO FIX COOLENT LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. MY VEHICLE IS STILL BROKEN BECAUSE OF THE PART COST 1100 USD AND THE REPAIR. TOTAL BILL IS 1600 USD. THIS WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE FIXED WITHOUT ME PAYING A DIME. MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. NOW IT WON'T EVEN GET UP TO SPEED THE TRANSMISSION SOUNDS AS IF IT IS STUCK IN A GEAR. VERY ERRATIC. MY CRUISE CONTROL ALSO JUST BLINKS AND WHEN THE MECHANIC TESTED THE CODES IT GAVE A NETWORK FAILURE CODE

THE 2 COMPLAINTS I HAVE REGARDING MY FRONTIER HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THE SAME YR THAT MY FRONTIER IS, BUT I DIDN'T RECEIVE A RECALL NOTICE FOR EITHER ONE. FIRST IS THE FUEL PUMP SENDING UNIT, WHICH SHOWS YOU HOW MUCH GAS YOU HAVE IN THE VEHICLE. MY FUEL GAUGE WILL SHOW THAT I HAVE NO GAS EVEN AFTER I FILL UP MY TANK, BUT THEN I CAN PARK FOR A FEW MINUTES & THEN THE GAUGE WILL SHOW THAT I HAVE A FULL TANK OF GAS. I RAN A DIAGNOSTIC TEST, & THE RESULTS DISPLAYED A CODE THAT MEANT IT NEEDED A NEW SENDING UNIT. HOWEVER, WITH THIS PARTICULAR MODEL, I CANNOT JUST GET THE SENDING UNIT, BECAUSE IT ONLY COMES IN ONE WHOLE PIECE, MEANING THAT THE MECHANICS WILL HAVE TO EMPTY THE GAS TANK & DROP THE TANK, WHICH IS MUCH MORE WORK. THEREFORE, THIS REPAIR WILL COST ME $900.00. THE SECOND COMPLAINT & THE MOST OUTRAGEOUS & DISAPPOINTING ONE IS REGARDING MY TRANSMISSION & RADIATOR. RECENTLY I TOOK MY FRONTIER INTO THE SHOP TO HABE THE TRANSMISSION FLUID CHECKED & CHANGED IF IT NEEDED TO BE. HOWEVER, THE MECHANIC CALLED & INFORMED THAT AFTER HOOKING MY TRUCK UP TO A TRANSMISSION TESTER, THE RESULTS INDICATED THAT I HAD PRESSURE PROBLEMS DUE TO THE RADIATOR COOLANT LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION FLUID, & CAUSING A CHEMICAL REACTION THAT WILL DESTROY THE CLUTCHES INSIDE THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. KEEP IN MIND THAT I ONLY HAVE 80,000 MILES ON MY 2006 FRONTIER, & NEEDING A NEW TRANSMISSION ALREADY WITH THIS LOW MILEAGE IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS & UNCALLED FOR. ESPECIALLY SINCE NISSAN HAS DONE A RECALL FOR THE SAME YR & MODEL OF MY TRUCK, & FOR THE EXACT THING THAT MY FAULTY RADIATOR WAS DOING. FOR SOME UNKNOWN REASON, MY RADIATOR MODEL WAS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST FOR EITHER ONE OF THE RECALLS & IT SHOULD'VE BEEN, BECAUSE THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF CONSUMERS THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM THAT I HAVE HAD, & THAT'S WITH BOTH OF MY COMPLAINTS. SO I JUST SPENT $4,000.00 FOR A REBUILT TRANSMISSION.

410V517000 · Engine And Engine Cooling
Oct 28, 2010
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.

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.

2DP26003 · Fuel Smell And Loss Of Motive Power
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.
