CarComplaints.com Notes: In a very limited selection on small pickup trucks, the Frontier is one of the best options except -- and I cannot emphasize this enough -- for one problem that makes it an avoid-at-all-costs pain in you know what: the radiator ruptures and leaks coolant into the transmission, killing it. Such a buzzkill.

This problem affects most 2005-2008 (and maybe beyond) Frontiers.

Frontier

A D V E R T I S E M E N T S

My Nissan Frontier hit a patch of black ice, skidded across two lanes of oncoming traffic, hit a light pole and slammed into a ditch embankment at 45-50 mph. Neither the driver nor passenger air bags deployed.
