2011 Nissan Frontier owner complaints

The vehicle front airbag light constantly flashes for no reason. It blinks while stationary or in motion. It was reset by the Nissan service tech, but started flashing again after 5 minutes on the highway.

The air bag light is flashing all the time.the passinger seat airbag light on dash reads airbag off.the dealer wants to replace the passinger seat airbag parts at a cost of $2300.Nissan has recalled other cars for the same problem but not the frontier.

The airbag light is lit and will not reset. I am not sure if the airbag is operating correctly or not. I have seen several similar complaints online. The vehicle has not been involved in a collision or any other damage. *tr

Side airbags deployed while my wife was driving on a smooth county road without a collision at approximately 20 MPH. Driver only in the vehicle, ears are ringing. Had to cut the air bags to be able to drive the vehicle home. In drive way, unusable at this point. Seat belt retractors activated so cannot use seatbelt at this point.

My airbag light began to flash a year ago I took it to Nissan they told me it was a seat cushion sensor it would cost me $500.00 to have it fixed. I am writting this in complaint that this has not been in recall I have waited for this period in expectation of receiving a recall notice. Also a failure code for belt tensioner. To have these items repaired would cost a total of $2175.14. I don't agree I should be responsible for the front passenger seat airbag sensor. No one sits in the seat, nothing should go wrong with the sensor. It came on all of a sudden. When starting the vehicle.

2011 Nissan frontier. Consumer writes in regards to evaporation emmission control system. The consumer stated in order to fill the tank with gas, the gas spout must be held about 3 quarters of the way out of the filler neck. The consumer was concerned this would cause spilling or splashing. The consumer stated at a particular gas station the gas nasal had a wide rubber gasket on the gas nozzle dispenser that covered the entrance to the gas tank.

The contact owns a 2011 Nissan Frontier. The contact stated while driving 70 MPH, the vehicle was running rough. Additionally, the vehicle was shuddering violently and started to stall. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact depressed the accelerator pedal and drove to a local Pep Boys. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The vehicle was then towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the Engine Control Module (ECM) had failed and needed to be replaced; however, the part had been discontinued. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but did not provide any assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 160,000.

I bought this vehicle used and before delivery the dealership found oil leaks that they deemed a safety issue and they fixed at no charge. About a few days after delivery, I discovered that there was still a leak and scheduled an appointment with the dealership. They deemed this to not be a safety issue and refused to fix it at no charge. Is it their responsibility or mine?

The hood of my truck popped opened at 67 MPH while driving on 595 east bound on florida highway between flamingo and university exits. Due to the impact it cracked my windshield and obvious loss of visibility to highway. After pulling over and inspecting the vehicle, it seems like the latch of the hood came off while driving. I have not received an explanation how this malfunction could have happened. Luckily there was no harm to myself only the damage to hood, windshield, top of vehicle roof and missing latch and the emergency cable that is hooked up to hood. My antenna also broke from the impact and the hood does not close all the way.

Automobile has body rust and rust like staining. Nissan attempted to repair by putting sanding pudding and painting it. Car still has constant rust problems. Nissan corporate office is unable to come up with solution at this time. The rear bumper in particular has that issue Nissan cut holes in it to drain water out after it rains to prevent further rusting. Ongoing issue with no solution. This is a 2011 model purchased new. *tr

2011 blue paint color problem paint is chipping at the rear fender wells just before the rear tire looks like the front tires are causing sand to hit this area design flaw having fend stick out like this dealer is working on this still going to re paint but seems like it will happen again and I have seen this on other Nissan trucks not just mine.. Truck does not have nerf bars see allot of these truck with those not seeing the problem on those.. *tr

While backing up from park position front brakes make a low groan or rubbiing sound like the calipers are not releasing properly. Have had it in the dealer twice, once they put molycote grease on the pads, then they replaced the pads and turned rotors all done with less than 5,000 miles,still has the problem. Also seems like once you brake and come to complete stop and start again takes alot of power to get going like there is a drag on the front end.also rotors a very hot. *kb

ABS module failed. The repair shop called the local Nissan dealership for parts. The Nissan dealership said the failure was a known issue. I called Nissan Customer Service for more info and they said no complaints had been filed.

My clutch keeps wearing out after approximately 25,000 miles. I bought this truck used with 60,000 miles and replaced the clutch at 81,893 miles, 107,179 miles and it is now slipping again at 131,521 miles. I have owned and driven primarily manual transmission vehicles since 1975 and never had this problem before. I have driven nearl one million miles in vehicles with manual transmissions and replaced only one clutch. There is obviously a defect in the clutch that Nissan uses. The first time was 02/27/15 the second time was 5/24/16 and most recently 12/20/17

Transmission fluid mixing with coolant in radiator!

Driver door locking itself intermittently. Has happened 4 times since I purchased the vehicle in oct of 2012. The key was not left in the ignition and there is not a button that can be pushed that locks only the drivers door. *tr

After leaving a remote logging road in northern maine woods, my wife and I headed back towards bangor , maine. While traveling apx 60 MPH the truck lost power, some warning lights on dash illuminated, I was forced to pull over. Engine was chugging, could not keep it running. I shut it off and attempted to drive further, I could not. It was towed to dealer and crankshaft position sensor replaced. I give thanks it didn't happen on the logging road where there is no cell signal and few other cars. *tr

A design defect in the steel wheels allows water to puddle in a channel in the wheel -- because there is inadequate drainage behind a shoulder on the rim. Furthermore the coating of the steel rim is inadequate to prevent rusting of the rim. Thus, after as little as 57,500 miles, the puddling in this undrained channel leads to severe corrosion, with following adverse results. (1) the corrosion invades the hole for the TPMS which is located right in the channel -- causing loss of air pressure around the base of the TPMS, that cannot be easily remedied. (2) the extent and severity of the corrosion at such low mileage strongly predicts eventual catastrophic wheel failure during the normal lifetime of the vehicle.
