Radiator fluid mixed with transmission fluid due to faulty radiator, beyond useless extended warranty, resulting in my burden to pay, according to nissan a 2500.00 dollar deductible, plus taxes. Nice, my truck has only 49,000 miles on it, no off road use, and now getting to the point of useless. Thanks nissan. Oh, don't forget the towing charge to the nearest dealer over one hour away for repairs. I just started with transmission symptoms of intermittent grinding with overdrive engaged on the shiftier. Took my truck to garage for inspection, they checked the transmission fluid and, ya you guessed it, radiator fluid mixed with it.

When the truck transmission shifted into 5th gear there was a grinding noise in the transmission. This problem has been repccuring and getting worse. The nissian dealer verified it is due to contaminated transmission fluid due to a leak in the cooling radiator.

While driving my 2007 nissan frontier I noticed a heavy grinding noise occurring at 40 MPH. The transmission was slipping before shifting into overdrive. I took my truck to two different certified mechanics to find out that I needed a new transmission and radiator. The radiator coolant leaked into the transmission causing contamination of the transmission fluid resulting in failure of the transmission. I purchased this truck new from a nissan dealership and planned to drive this truck beyond its current mileage. After researching this online and reading all the complaints I will never buy another nissan. The cost to get this fixed is $4700.00 for a new transmission and radiator. This cost is absolutely ridiculous because the price of all the rebuilt transmissions out there for the frontier have escalated due to the demand on them. Nissan should have put a recall on all their vehicles with this problem and all this could have been avoided. Nissan lost a loyal customer and if there is a class action lawsuit in maryland I would like to know. Nissan should pay for this.....totally ridiculous and a time consuming expensive nightmare.

Many problems with my 2007 frontier. First my clutch went at about 65000 miles . Have been driving stick all my life and never needed a clutch. The rear axel leaked and created a bad squeal and damaged my brake pads. My low tire pressure sensors went bad and my heater core went at 60000 miles. I am also getting an electrical smell inside the cabin. Wow never had a vehicle have so much go wrong in less than 5 years. Nissan dealer and nissan corporate both refused to accept responsibility of any defects.

Within a few months of purchasing my 2007 nissan frontier, I noticed a disturbing grinding noise coming from behind my dash board. When I brought this to the attention of my dealership, they informed me that if they could not replicate this noise at the time, there was nothing that could be done. Afterwards, the noise was only more noticeable. I searched the internet for other people with similar problems. It turns out that the noise coming from behind the dashboard was being produced by a defective clutch. I saw at least 5 to 10 of the same exact complaints and their dealings with service that determined the clutch problem. At this time, I was quite worried about the condition of my vehicle. It is very dangerous to have a defective clutch on any car, let alone a 2 plus ton truck. The ramifications are endless: getting stuck on railroad tracks, at an intersection, crashing into another vehicle... The dealership would continue to misdiagnose or not diagnose the problem. I made several complaints while the vehicle was under warranty. I provided them with evidence that the vehicle did have a defective clutch and even drove a technician around in the vehicle to reproduce the noise that they did not hear. I was informed that it would be covered under warranty by a service advisor. While they had the vehicle, a different person informed me 2 days later that they inspected the clutch, found it to be worn, and that I was responsible for it. I was able to do nothing except pay for the repair to get my truck back. Nissan informed me that I should sue, because there was nothing they could do. In conclusion, a defect that was noticed at approximately 2,000 miles ended up costing me over $2,000.00 and potentially my life while the defect was dismissed and misdiagnosed. Being that there are dozens of people with the same problem, I would have assumed that this problem would have been rectified without this much turmoil.
