2007 Nissan Frontier problems

“In December 2023 I noticed a bad discoloration of the coolant in my 2007 Nissan Frontier. I took the truck to the local Nissan dealership and had them flush the coolant system. There were no warning lamps or messages. There were no other symptoms or problems prior to that. Receipt available for this service. Then in May 2023 the transmission began shifting extremely hard. Upon checking the coolant it was the consistency of strawberry milkshake. The truck was taken to a local transmission shop and they rebuilt the transmission assembly along with replacing the radiator and flushing the system. This work was completed June 3, 2024. Receipt is available for this service. With continuing to see the coolant have a consistency of strawberry milkshake, I reached out to the local Nissan dealership for them to tell me there had been a recall for this. Upon doing further research, I have learned there actually wasn't a recall but an extended warranty offered that Nissan did not willingly let owners know about. $4,500.00 later I still have the same problem I started with and am fearful this truck will fail as I'm driving on the highway and am concerned about my safety.…”

THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 08V690000 (AIR BAGS) BUT DID NOT CONFIRM IF THE VIN WAS INCLUDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED.

“1. The fuel pump and fuel sensor suddenly stopped working without prior notice while driving down the road. 2. Sudden loss of power while driving creates a dangerous situation. 3. An independent service center stated that "Nissan Corp. had a recall on fuel pump sensors. 4. The fuel pump and fuel sensor were replaced. 5. I called Nissan Corp, but they said that vehicle did not qualify for a recall of the fuel sensor.”

“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.”

“TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER. AFTER STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT, THE VEHICLE HESITATED TO RESPOND WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL GAUGES ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VALVE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION FLUID MIXED TOGETHER. THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 108,000.”
