This is known problem you refused to force Nissan to recall. At a minimum Nissan should have been required to notify owners of the problem. They did not. My radiator has failed allowing coolant to mix with the transmission fluid destroying the transmission. I have 96,000 miles on my vehicle. I would have gladly paid out of pocket to replace the defective radiator to save the transmission, but since I was not notified of the problem, now I have to potentially replace the transmission.

2007 Nissan Frontier crew cab: Entering the 100,000 mile marker the truck started to feel like it was skipping. Then the truck stalled while at the grocery store. I tried to get it started and after 15 minutes it did start. Aaa tested battery, starter and alternators. They were all fine. Later drove truck to continue grocery shopping and it stalled in the main traffic lane. Pushed truck to safer place. Then it started again. Autozone computer test revealed sensor P)335 and a recommendation to replace flywheel. Internet search revealed issues with power train and anti freeze entering the transmission due to faulty parts. Nearly 3000. Reports of same issue. Disappointed that Nissan did not take responsibility for their use of compromised materials in building their cars and trucks. If Nissan is using faulty or weak materials, then might as well buy american.

I bought the 2007 Nissan Frontier off a dealership as a used vehicle with no warranty. One week later the transmission started to slip, the following week the slippage was worse until it lost power and it left me stranded in a parking lot. I took it to my mechanic and he said that it's a possibility that the transmission computer had gone out and it would be close to $5,000 dollars to replace the transmission. The transmission fuse keeps blowing out once the truck is started. The mechanic said it could be a possibility that it was cross contamination since Nissan was known for faulty radiators. So I'm stuck with a truck payment through a loan with a transmission out and I can't even drive it. There are thousands and thousands of complaints online from people having the exact same issue.

My name is mrs.[xxx]. on 5.29.2019, my vehicle's transmission failed as a result of a manufacturing defect. I took my vehicle to aamco and had it repaired at a cost of $5,258.45. While my vehicle was being repaired I discovered there are numerous tax paying consumers who have experienced the same mechanical failure. I, also, discovered despite knowing about this problem, Nissan has refused and/or failed to recall these vehicles or notify the owners about these potential dangers. Had the corporation notified the owners the major transmission. Failure could have been averted with a simple procedure at a cost of $700- $1,000. Instead the company kept silent about the issues. As a result american consumers have been footing the bill for Nissan's defect, to the toon of thousands of dollars. I contacted Nissan's CEO seekng reimbursement for the $5,258.45 out of pocket expenses it took to fix Nissan's manufacturing defect. I was referred to the Consumer Affairs department by CEO hiroto sarkawa. Consumer agent [xxx] id # [xxx] initially denied my request verbally alleging that because I took my vehicle to an outside mechanic I am not eligible for rereimbursement. However in writing she claimed Nissan was unable to offer financial assistance with the repair of the transmission due to the vehicle being outside of your new vehicle limited warranty information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

At 132,000 miles my transmission and radiator failed at the same time. I have come to understand that this is a known defect in Nissan. I did not know this was an ongoing problem with Nissan. The cost to repair is going to be more than $5000. This is terrible.

Transmission failure

We are a auto dealer in Ohio. After purchasing a 2007 Nissan Frontier crew cab 4X4 at the auction, we did a post sale inspection and it passed. We brought it home and did a 60 point inspection, outside of an airbag light issue, it passed once again. One week later, the transmission is shot. After a transmission shop called me today and said $3000 to replace transmission, I found out this is a common problem that Nissan will not be accountable for. I am looking for any and all assistance. This quote sums it up well, 'simply extending the warranty coverage for the radiator without warning consumers of the consequences to the transmission only makes sense if Nissan is looking to cut their losses. Why didn't Nissan warn consumers that the transmission could fail quickly as a result of a cracked cooler tube" how many consumers must suffer transmission failures in busy intersections and on busy, congested highways before Nissan does the ethical thing and issues a safety recall"'.

While driving on the highway on 7/13/2019 I felt my truck jerking/tugging which has never happened before. On 7/14/2019 the 'service engine' light came on and the jerking was more noticeable, I made an appointment with the local Nissan dealer for service on 7/16/2019 and I was told that there is coolant mixed in with the transmission and the tcm eventually fried since it is housed inside the transmission, apparently the transmission cooling hoses route to the radiator and the only remedy is to replace the transmission and the radiator. I searched online and found that I am not the only one that this has happened to. The problem
