| Defect Summary | Nissan is recalling certain model year 2004-2006 armada, titan, infiniti qx56 and model year 2005-2006 frontier, pathfinder and xterra vehicles. the intelligent power distribution module (ipdm) assembly contains an engine control module (ecm) relay that has a diode for electrical current noise reduction. the ecm relay may allow silicon vapor to form and, over time, the silicon evaporates from the diode molding which causes silicon oxide to develop on the ecm relay contact due to arcing. | |||||||||||||||
| Consequence Summary | This could cause engine stalling increasing the risk of a crash. | |||||||||||||||
| Corrective Summary | Dealers will replace the ecm relay inside the ipdm assembly. this service will be performed free of charge. the safety recall is expected to begin during december 2010. owners may contact nissan at 1-800-647-7261. | |||||||||||||||
| Notes | Owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.safercar.gov . | |||||||||||||||

| While traveling in rush hour traffic my 2005 nissan frontier started to loss power and i was almost hit by 3 other vehicles when the truck stopped moving in the traffic. i had it towed to reliable mechanic and was notified by him that there was radiator fluid in the transmission and that this has become a growing issues with nissan between 2005-2010 model pathfinders, xterras,and frontiers. this is the third nissan frontier i have owned and i sing the praises of nissan to everyone i know, i am shocked to see how many complaints have been filed and still nissan acts irresponsible and refuses to recall this issue it is a $3800 repair and nissan knows it is rampant in these models. i am very disappointed in nissan this is no way to treat their loyal following makes more sense putting the $3800 towards a new toyota pickup. *tr | |||

| When i was driving down the road and at about 45 to 50 mph, my transmission went out leaving the truck powerless and not being able to make it to a safe place to pull over! i was stranded in the middle of the road, which was a death trap not only for myself but for my wife or daughter as well. i began checking the fluids and i discovered the transmission fluid was a burnt brown strawberry milk shake color. i was very confused about the color of my transmission fluid so i hopped on google to research problems with frontiers transmission. i found list of complaints of the same issue i had just experienced. i immediately called the dealership in gainesville ga. i asked the tech if the truck had any recalls. the tech stated that there where 2 recalls. i asked him if there was any known problems with the radiator and transmission, and of course no was the response. i inquired about the issues i discovered. the tech then replied well nissan did extend there warranty on that problem. he told me to call nissan n. america. the nissan representative asked all the questions the dealership did and asked about the miles. i replied 101570. the rep. stated he was sorry i was out of all extended warranty plans. i asked him just because i am 1500 miles over you guys cant help me? the representative replied that it was out of their extended warranty window, so he was sorry they can not assist me. then he gave me a number to the radiator and transmission hot line. i replied to him by stating, wow this is that big of a problem that nissan specifically has a hotline for the situation? the representative just hang up. i then called the 1877-208-9275 radiator and coolant assist line. they where closed because of martin luther king day. my argument is why has nissan not made a recall about this safety issue? *tr | |||

| Transmission and radiator/cooling system to be replaced due to contamination of transmission by radiator fluid. routine maintenance performed regularly. at 98,000 miles began to experience sporadic vibration when driving, was diagnosed with above state issue. i use the truck to commute with my children everyday on the interstate, while i am thankful that the transmission has not stopped functioning, it has put us at greater risk than usual with a compromised transmission. to have both systems replaced, i have been given an opportunity to provide a co-pay of $3000.00. i paid nissan once for a functional and reliable transmission and cooling system, i resent having to pay an additional $3000.00 for a design flaw made by nissan. as a consumer, $3000.00 is the type of money used as a down payment for a new car, not what i expect to pay as routine maintenance on a vehicle with less than 100,000 miles on it. my payment would have been lower if mileage were lower. it is my understanding that the corrosion happens over time, i'm not sure how much time it takes, but i feel certain it was thousands of miles ago. if i had been made aware of the issue earlier, i could have addressed it, possibly with less damage to my vehicle, less safety/risk to my family, and certainly at less cost regarding the copay for me as the copay is based on mileage on the vehicle. the heater has never blown warm air when idling, which is one of the few early signs of this issue from what i understand. this indicates to me that problem has existed for most of the life of the truck. *tr | |||

| Discovery of an apparently known issue of failed radiator in this vehicle that contaminates the coolant and transmission fluid resulting in failed transmission requiring replacement of it as well as the radiators. surprised and extremely disappointed to find this issue happening to my vehicle which i purchased new from this dealer and loyally had the vehicle serviced and maintained at the same place of purchase. this apparently is a known issue and yet my vehicle was never checked for this problem at any of my maintenance intervals by the service department. the initial revealing of the problem was presented to me at full price of the repair. after expressing my disappointment in the findings and the quality of the vehicle to the service department i received a call back stating that i could call the customer care and have the repair performed with a co-pay of $3000 of the $6400 quoted repair. still unhappy about what i was facing for a vehicle that had not yet reached 100k miles, i was left with no option but to call and go with the offer of partial payment. this is the second major repair i have had to have, first being replacement of timing chain at approximately 80k miles at a cost of $1500. *tr | |||

| I purchased my 2005 nissan frontier at approx. 95k in february. the test drives were fine, the car sounded and drove perfectly fine for a few months. it recently began to start shifting roughly . the nissan dealership i purchased the car from did something to cover up the issue which was obviously why they were trying to sell it before 100k and i got burned on it. i purchased the truck from marietta, ga at team nissan. i didn't get it checked until now, but have since discovered the numerous complaints of a recall related to radiator antifreeze leaking into the transmission and causing failure of both. this is a safety issue and it really does baffle me that a whole generation of nissan vehicles from 2005-2010 have this issue and that it could caused some accidents due to high speed transmission failure. i see this as being a safety issue on the same scale as the toyota issues of a few years back. to have this be a limited warranty recall is disgraceful. you can believe nissan knows exactly when these incidents are likely to occur so they extended their coverage up to that point and they fail thereafter. not to mention that the current recall does not seem to include issues it causes to the transmission. my truck as you can see is out of the extended warranty for the radiator and was when i purchased it. *tr | |||

| Suddenly my truck appeared to have no power; could not accelerate up to traffic speed or effectively get across an intersection. it was scary and dangerous as this could have easily caused an accident. the service engine soon light came on and i promptly took my 2005 nissan frontier nismo v6 to my local nissan dealer for service. i had just had the full 90k mile service with radiator flush and no issues where reported to me. so i was shocked when they told me that it needed to have both the radiator and transmission replaced due to fluids mixing. antifreeze and water from the radiator had leaked into the transmission and destroyed it. and i was further shocked and angry that it would cost me $3k even after nissan's extended warranty. (i don't have this kind of money lying around to dump into my 7+ year old truck, that i had bought new in '05.) this is a catastrophic defect in the design - known by the manufacturer and should be made right by the manufacturer. i've found that there are hundreds of complaints about this same issue across the internet for other 2005-2010 frontiers, pathfinders and xterras. nissan needs to do their consumers right, or risk loosing loyalty. up until now, i've been really happy with my truck, my service dealer and nissan, but now i'll be looking at other brands that back their products and consumers better. *tr | |||

| My 2005 nissan frontier began shifting hard noticeably. i took it to a trusted mechanic to evaluate the cause and learned that there is contamination in the transmission fluid. coolant from the radiator has leaked into the transmission body, resulting in contamination and corrosion. at this time the transmission still functions, but will not continue to do so for long. this issue requires the replacement of both the radiator and the transmission with an estimated cost of $3,800. *tr | |||

| I took my frontier truck in for a 120000 mile schedule maintenance check and oil change. the deal told me that the radiator coolant and transmission fluid had mixed together due to a problem with the radiator. i was told that they would flush the radiator and transmission and try to clean out most of the mixed fluid. i was informed that i need to replace the radiator and transmission might have to be also replaced. the cost for the replacement would be around $8400. i began to do some research into the problem and found out that nissan know that there was a problem with the radiator and that the fluid could leak into the transmission and damage the transmission. i saw that nissan would extend the warrant to cover the cost if you had less that 8 years and 80000 miles. this warrant would now help me, due tot the fact i have almost 119000 miles on my truck. i think if nissan knew about this problem they would have a recall on all frontiers, pathfinders and xterras from 2005-2010 and pay for them to be fixed . it will cost me over $6000 to have a new transmission put into my frontier truck. my truck is a 2005 frontier le. i am having the radiator assy replaced ($991.84) oil cooler assy replaced ($498.49) transmission and cooling system flushed ($421.52). the 120000 mile service a/t will cost me $400. i am going to search around to see how much a new transmission for my truck would cost. the dealer said the cost for replacing my transmission would be $6155.14. they would sell me the transmission for their cost which would save me $925. i think that nissan should a lease help pay for half or 2/3 of the cost for me to get my truck fixed. *tr | |||

| While driving my frontier, the transmission starting making noise. it started slipping when i was taking off, after having stopped for a red light. then the service light and indicator lights came on. i could tell that 2nd gear was gone. the truck was towed to a certified nissan dealer. they informed me that the truck was not covered under warranty and gave me a $5190 estimate. this does not include the $300 for the rental i have had to get for this first week, or the $101 for the towing and diagnostic testing. i have since discovered that the coolant was leaked into the transmission and has caused it to fail. i have also learned that hundreds, if not thousands, have registered complaints that this was due to a radiator failure that was known by nissan. i did not receive a recall notice or any other notification concerning this problem. i called nissan consumer affairs and received a case number. after 24 hrs. they called to tell me that they had extended the warranties on the radiators up to 8 yrs. and 80,000 miles, but that they would not be able to help me with my case. i have since found out online that nissan did not issue recalls on this. my truck had been properly serviced at my nissan dealership, and both the radiator and transmission was flushed at 30,000 and 60,000 miles. the power-steering was also flushed at 60,000 miles. i believe my dealership should have made me aware of the problem when my truck was in for servicing, and then i could have had the radiator taken care of under the warranty period before all the transmission damage was done. and nissan should have issued a safety recall, as my truck stopped at 35 mph; and was almost rear ended. i would have normally been on the highway, except once the noise started, i decided to take an alternate route in order to get my vehicle to a safe area. nissan should have to pay for this period! *tr | |||

| Was traveling at 55mph in my 2005 nissan frontier when it was as if the transmission was put in neutral. had to stop in the highway, nowhere to pull off. as luck would have it was near my destination and managed to get there going about 10 to 15mph. it was at night so luckily not much traffic when it occurred. towed to dealership next day and was told the radiator failed and coolant was allowed to enter transmission thus also causing transmission failure. vehicle had exceeded the 80,000 mile warranty but also found out that warranty had been extended from the original 36,000 mile warranty because of problems. only the radiator and transmission were issued the 80,000 extended warranty, but my vehicle had 95,994 miles thus no warranty coverage, and repair cost would run $6,900.00. contacted nissan consumer affairs but was denied reimbursement. although dealership worked with me and got the price down to $4,800.00 this is a major expense to me on a vehicle that should have been taken care of by the nissan corp., due to the large number of complaints about this exact problem on vehicles with more than 80,000 miles. have yet to find any consumer that has been compensated for this problem. *tr | |||

| Had been getting some noises from the transmission for a little while, but mechanic never caught the real issue. transmission failed while driving 100km/h, overdrive and 4th gears no longer worked. was able to make it home and do quick internet search where it became obvious that my problem was related to engine coolant getting mixed with transmission oil due to failed cooler inside radiator. opened up radiator cap which confirmed this fact, tranny oil floating on top of the engine coolant. costs for rebuilding transmission over $5,000, hooked up oil to external cooler already in the truck, therefore saved cost of replacing radiator (bypassed this cooler). this is obviously a manufacturing or design defect, nothing do do with normal wear and tear. nissan will not reimburse the repair. | |||

| After getting gas i started my 2005 nissan frontier and as i entered back on the highway the engine immediately stalled. the service engine light and the 4wd warning light came on. after rolling about 50 ft it started running normally again. i visited my nissan dealer on 9/10/09 and they could not find anything wrong. that afternoon after getting gas it stalled after starting it again with the same warning lights on. i could not restart it. this time it had to be towed to the dealer. they found that an engine electronic module had failed but was on nationwide back-order and did not know when it would be replaced. i was told it was a large problem in 2006, 2007 and some in 2008 nissan frontier and titan trucks. if this item is in nationwide back-order it must be a major problem and a dangerous one if a vehicle's engine stalls while in operation on roads and highways. *tr | |||

| I puchased a 05 frontier p/u 2wd, and log on 2k miles when engine check soon light came on. i brought to the dealer and they ordered a cataletic converter on 5-19-05 but untill now they dont have the part and told me to call nissan factory inquiring about my cataletic converter? i believe the dealership should follow-up or track when is the part coming, i dont get any answer except that the p/u is new and hard to get the parts in. should i get a replacement car in the meantime while they have to wait for the parts to come in? regards roger ferolino | |||
