What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The rearview mirror detached from the windshield while the vehicle was being driven, pulling a chunk of the glass out with it. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? The rearview mirror fell off while driving and until they can fix it, it makes driving the vehicle unsafe, although their are side mirrors to compensate. There's no way to know if the structural safety of the windshield is intact either after the mirror pulled a chunk of glass out. The mirror and windshield have not been repaired and are available for inspection. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Unkown Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? It has been looked at by the service department twice. They arbitrarily stated that they don't repair glass and only consented to look at the windshield when we pressed. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? No

Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Truck has 13,000 miles Truck didnt start. Had to have some jump start. Took it to dealership. They Said battery passed but recharged it. 2 months later Truck died in the middle of a busy intersection. Could of got rear ended. I have my [XXX] child with me at all times. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
Back window shattered. Nothing hit it.
Back window shattered. Nothing hit it.
This is a nine speed transmission which basically shifts up each gear every 5 to 6 MPH until you hit 9th gear about 52 MPH. The transmission will not shift to next gear fast enough causing the vehicle to be very slow. The transmission has to go through 5 gears to get to 30 MPH. Each gear shifts at 1650 to over 2000 RPM before it will shift to next gear. If the air conditioning is running the least amount of RPM's is over 2000 or higher to shift up to next gear. At 2000 RPM's the engine has very little torque needed from the transmission due to the 3.692 axle ratio and sounds like the engine is revving higher than it should be. If you don't relax on the gas pedal it will stay in that gear and just rev the RPM's in the gear it is in, until you let off the gas pedal for it to shift up. If you need high acceleration at low speeds it just won't shift up to next gear. I have almost been rear ended many times trying to get onto an expressway or accelerating from a red light to get up to posted speed limit. If you have 5 gears to get to 30 MPH then they have to shift at low RPM's (1250 to 1500 RPM"s) and as fast as possible to get the speed of the vehicle up quickly. The transmission has engine braking and will decelerate through each gear. If you are slowing the truck with foot off the brake and then accelerate the driveshaft and rear end will clunk so you have to be gentle with the pedal to prevent loud clunking noises. It will clunk back into first gear at times when braking to stop the vehicle. It is unsafe to drive when getting up to posted speed is crucial.
Transmission hunts between gears at 25-30mph. Downshifts are delayed or hesitates during hard acceleration. Delayed shifting during slow turns.
On the evening of April 22, 2026, my 2024 Nissan frontier with approximately 7600 miles on it had an electrical fire in the front driver side fog lamp housing. My vehicle has a manufacturer warranty of 36,000 miles or 36 months. I received a denial letter for honoring the warranty by Nissan consumer affairs on May 18, 2026. I believe this is a known issue dating back to at least 2022 to current models. There are individuals posting their experiences on social media. Nissan has not provided a written report for the inspection by their investigative inspection team. I don’t understand their refusal to honor my warranty.
I have a 2024 Nissan Frontier PRO 4X. Front windshield leaks on the passenger side. Took it to the dealer roughly 7 times. After the purchase I notice water coming down the windshield. Took it to the dealer supposedly they thought it got fixed. After got home and the next time it rained and leaked again. Now 2 years later still having water trouble after being at the dealer several times still not fixed. Cleaning my truck inside notice my floor is soaking wet. Water running down A pillar running down to the floorboard. While some of the electrical devices are right where the water is lying. I feel this is a big safety concern with all the electrical connections. Also now my flooring carpet has mold on it and breathing this is unhealthy and unsafe. I just want it fixed!!
My 2024 Nissan Frontier has experienced repeated intermittent shut off and no-start failures. The problem began in late 2024 and continued through January 2025, throughout 2025, 2026, and is still occurring. The truck has randomly shut off while driving and has failed to restart at different times. This creates a serious safety risk in traffic and on the freeway because loss of power can cause an accident or leave me stranded in unsafe areas. I brought the vehicle to Nissan dealership service in January 2025 for diagnosis, but they stated no issue was found. The same problem continued afterward. Auto parts stores also checked battery/charging systems and did not identify the cause. Most recently, the vehicle would not start at CarMax and required roadside assistance / jump start / towing. The issue is intermittent and difficult to predict, which makes it more dangerous. I am requesting investigation of this recurring defect.
I purchased this truck new. On many occasions while trying to accelerate from a stopped position there is a few second delay before the car will move. This in my opinion is a serious condition because when you think you can move into traffic the car won't move. This could cause a serious accident. I brought this to the attention of the nissan service center several times only to be told that it a characteristic of the transmission. In other words the transmission is searching for the right gear to engage before the car will move. I checked on line and found that other people are having the same problem. Please advise.. Thank you
