This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
No specific events led to failure. At approximately 109,500 the transmission begain jumping out of first gear without warning. I had T be extremely aware of this when pulling ino traffic. At 110,079 miles, the first gear failed completely when I was pulling out of my driveway. The complete failure occured on Dec. 31, 2004. The sudden jumping out of gear started about a month before that. At the very least, Nissan should advise all owners of 5 speed manual transmission on Nissan crew cab 4WD units with a V-6 engine that when the gear box jumps from first to neutral position, that first gear failure is imminate.
Main transmission rod (standard) had to be replaced at 130,000 miles and main throw out bearings had to be replaced at 100,000 miles. Both repairs were costly for a truck that was bought brand new and isnt even paid for yet. Nissan's have a reputation for lasting forever, but I guess we got a bad one
