2008
SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
LEFT REAR AXLE SEAL FAILED AND GREASE FROM AXLE COATED CALIPER AND BRAKE DISC, RENDERING BRAKING INEFFECTIVE ON THAT WHEEL. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH NISSAN WITH A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN (NTB100008) ISSUED, BUT NISSAN ONLY SELECTIVELY APPLIES THE REPAIR. GREASE COATING THE BRAKE APPEARS VISUALLY THE SAME AS BRAKE DUST, AND OWNER'S MANUAL REQUIRES INSPECTION OF SEALS ONLY EVERY 7500 MILES, SO BRAKING MAY BE LOST FOR A CONSIDERABLE PERIOD OF TIME BEFORE DISCOVERY. SERIOUS ACCIDENT WAS NARROWLY AVOIDED ON 10-14-2011, IRONICALLY ON RETURN FROM DEALER, WHEN CAR AHEAD STOPPED IN LANE TO TURN LEFT; HARD BRAKING AND SWERVE INTO RIGHT LANE AVOIDED COLLISION BUT TRUCK STOPPED WITH FRONT GRILL AT SAME POINT AS FRONT SEAT IN THE STOPPED CAR. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
MY 5-SPEED AUTOMATIC 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER'S RADIATOR COOLER TANK RUPTURED FORCING COOLANT INTO THE TRANSMISSION THROUGH THE TRANSMISSION COOLER LINES CAUSING "CATASTROPHIC FAILURE" AT 92000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER (12000 MILES OUTSIDE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE FAULTY RADIATOR). THIS IS APPARENTLY AN "UNCOMMON", BUT KNOWN PROBLEM WITH NISSAN TRUCK AND SUV MODELS. I WAS TRAVELING AT 65 MPH ON INTERSTATE 70 NEAR FREDERICK, MARYLAND WHEN THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE OCCURRED. I LOST ALL FORWARD MOMENTUM BUT WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER THE TRUCK TO THE SHOULDER BEFORE CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. I HAD IT CHECKED BY AN INDEPENDENT SHOP IN MOUNT AIRY, MARYLAND AND THEY QUOTED THE REPLACEMENT OF THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION AT $4350. AFTER MAKING INQUIRES WITH THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW IN 2006, THEIR INITIAL ESTIMATE WAS BETWEEN ROUGHLY $6000 - $10000 FOR REPLACEMENT OF THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION! THEY WERE ABLE TO NEGOTIATE DOWN WITH NISSAN CORPORATE AND THE FINAL COST OF REPLACEMENT OF THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION WAS $3000. MY TRANSMISSION FAILED WITHOUT ANY SIGN OR WARNING AT 65 MPH ON A 3 LANE INTERSTATE - THE FINANCIAL BURDEN TO FIX THE PROBLEM HURTS, BUT IT COULD HAVE GONE MUCH WORSE. *TR
