2013 Nissan Frontier

THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE WENT OUT ON MY VEHICLE AFTER ONLY 60,000 MILES. I TRIED EVERY POSSIBLE SOLUTION SUCH AS REPLACING SENSORS, REPLACED SPARK PLUGS, CRANK AND SHIFT SENSORS, ETC UNTIL MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP RAN A DIAGNOSTIC AND DETERMINED IT TO BE THE ECM. THEY FOUND IT STRANGE TO HAVE THE ECM GO OUT SO QUICKLY. MY TRUCK WAS RUNNING FINE BUT THEN IT SLOWLY STARTED TO GIVE OUT WHEN I WOULD TRY TO START IT. I HAVE A MANUAL TRANSMISSION. *TR

ABOUT A YEAR AGO MY SUNROOF WAS ACTING LIKE IT DIDN'T WANT TO CLOSE, I HAVEN'T OPENED IT SINCE, THEN A FEW MONTHS AFTER THAT, IT KEPT BLOWING FUSES BY THE GLOVE BOX THAT CONTROLS THE INTERIOR LIGHTS, CARGO LIGHTS AND TRAILER HITCH, THEN LAST WEEK, I THOUGHT MY TRUCK WAS GOING TO BURN TO THE GROUND WHEN I WAS DRIVING DOWN MY MOTHERS DRIVEWAY. SMOKE CAME IN BETWEEN THE WINDSHIELD AND DASH AND FILLED THE CAB UP VERY QUICKLY. I PUT THE TRUCK IN PARK, TURNED IT OFF AND RAN AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE THINKING IT WAS GOING TO BLOW UP. I ROLLED ALL THE WINDOWS DOWN TO LET THE SMOKE OUT. AFTER 10 MINUTES, CHECKING UNDER THE HOOD, UNDER THE VEHICLE, I DID NOT SEE ANY FLAMES. WHEN I GOT BACK IN THE TRUCK TO DRIVE IT HOME, THE WINDOWS WOULD NOT ROLL UP AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WOULD NOT WORK AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS FLASHING ON AND OFF AND WON'T STOP AND IT SMELLED HORRIBLE OF SOMETHING ELECTRICAL.

WHILE THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING, THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD FLASHES, WHETHER OR NOT THERE IS A PASSENGER IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE OR ANY INITIATING FACTOR THAT I CAN DETERMINE. ONE DAY WHEN I TURNED THE VEHICLE ON, THE WARNING LIGHT ALSO TURNED ON. THE LIGHT DOES NOT TURN OFF DURING THE OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE IS UNDER 40,000 MILES.

TRANSMISSION WON'T GO INTO GEAR FORWARD OR REVERSE AT TIMES. WHEN DRIVING ON THE ROAD TRANSMISSION WON'T SHIFT OUT OF 3RD GEAR INTO OVER DRIVE, AFTER TOPPING A HILL AND GOING BACK DOWNHILL. TRUCK WILL DO A JERKING MOTION WHEN PULLING OUT FROM A STOP. ON INTERSTATE I81 TRUCK SPEED WAS 50-55 MPH THE RPM'S WAS 6,000 AND THE RPM'S WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO HIGHER GEAR. WHEN IT DID SHIFT IT WAS A VERY HARD SHIFT. IT HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE THE DAY I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK BRAND NEW. I HAVE HAD IT TO THE DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES AND THEY CAN NOT FIND OUT WHAT IT IS. THE TRUCK DOESN'T THROUGH A CODE, SO THEY CAN'T WORK ON IT TILL IT DOES. I PULL A SMALL POP UP CAMPER AT TIMES AND IT ACTS UP MORE WHEN THE TRUCK IS UNDER STRESS. I HAVE WHERE THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP HAS SEEN THE TRUCK AND THEIR COMMENTS. THEY DID OFFER ME AN EXTENDED WARRANTY TILL 2020. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE TRUCK ON THE ROAD AND ESPECIALLY WHEN MY FAMILY IN THE TRUCK. I ONLY HAVE A LITTLE OVER 23,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK AS TO DATE. NISSAN DENIED MY REQUEST FOR ANOTHER TRUCK BECAUSE THEY SAID MY CLAIM FALLS OUTSIDE THE TIME PERIOD FOR FILING CLAIMS. I HAVE THE REPAIR PAPER WORK AND LETTERS FROM THE NISSAN GROUP.
