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.

: the contact stated while brake pressure was applied at various speeds on normal road conditions, there was a pronounced vibration and increased stopping distance. The vehicle was inspected by an independent repair shop but was unable to duplicate the problem. The vehicle was later inspected by a dealer who determined the rotors were worn and twisted. After replacement of the rotors, the problem persisted. The vehicle was road tested by the dealer who determined that braking was normal. The manufacturer was not notified.
