2014 Nissan Frontier owner complaints

Airbag light comes on when ignition turned on and remains blinking/flashing until ignition turned off. Remains on whether standing still or in motion at any speed

Side Air bags deployed while crossing a railroad crossing.

Horn did not work and Airbag light keeps flashing

The Air Bag Clock Spring Spiral Cable failed on 6-29-2022. Nissan replaced the component 6-30-2022 at a cost to me of 852.72. I spoke with several service technicians at this dealership and I quote... yep, this happens all the time with these clock springs. I called Nissan consumer affairs. My case number was 46685014. They said since this is covered under the 5 year 60 K miles that they would not cover the cost. My 2014 truck has 66K. I said to them I felt that this is a safety issue and there should not be a time or mileage limit attached to a safety issue since the airbags will not deploy and that this problem is occurring often, according to Nissan's own service technicians. Also, from one of Nissan's website "How often do Air Bag Clocksprings need replacement? The airbag clock sp

Tl* the contact owned a 2014 Nissan frontier. While driving approximately 55 MPH, the contact's vehicle crashed into a tree. None of the air bags deployed. There was no warning indicator illuminated. There were no injuries and a police report was not filed. The vehicle was totaled and was towed to the contact's residence. The dealer was not called. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 66,120. The VIN was not provided.

When fueling truck, gasoline comes up fuel tank bottleneck. It's a known issue with this truck different years same problem. Very dangerous gas explodes out of the tank gets all over truck , myself , ground. Happens on every fill up. Air cannot vent when filling tank causes gas to rise overfill spraying gas everywhere.

Vehicle is equipped with a back-up/rear proximity warning system. It consists of four sensors mounted on the face of the rear bumper, and a variable warning "beeper" in the cabin. One of the four sensors on my truck sustained damage on it's face, which the Nissan dealer(lokey Nissan, clearwater fl) says has caused the entire warning system to fail. This is a significant safety system, with quadruple redundancy. How can it's design allow for complete failure when one of four sensors (supposedly) fails? As a mechanical engineering p.e., I consider this to be a serious design flaw.

The design of this Nissan 2014 frontier crew cab's rear seat locking feature is very poor. We have not had any mishaps yet, but the possibility certainly exists because of the way you must unlock the rear passenger doors. When I took possession of my new truck I reported to the salesman my concerns pertaining to the way the rear doors unlocked. He told me to take it somewhere and have automatic locks put on it as they did not do that type of work. This feature should be standard on crew cabs. To unlock the back passenger doors, you must reach between the support column and the front seats and then "feel" your way to find the molded in lever to push to unlock. I have had a coat on before and must either take it off or push the sleeve up to fit my arm through this very limited access area.

Frontal collision (rear end style) at approximately 50-60 MPH on the interstate. Airbags did not deploy.

The hood latch failed when we were driving 65 MPH on a highway, causing the hood to open, block our view and smash our windshield. The hood was bent, the roof was dented and the inside rearview mirror and overhead light came off.

Traveling at approximately 55 miles per hour on a hill coasting on the down slope, the transmission disengages. When approaching the base of the hill, I stepped on the accelerator to resume speed and the transmission was not engaged causing the motor to speed up, but the vehicle continued to slow down. The gear shift on the automatic transmission was firmly engaged at the time. This has happened several times since purchasing the vehicle. *tr

At 32000 on the freeway hadn't shifted in miles clutch begins to smoke, transmission slips power loss, with five miles lost any gear in transmission forward or reverse and no clutch. If it wasn't night and I was in heavy traffic would not have been good. Unknown for sure either weak defective clutch throw out bearing or bad hydraulic clutch system.5t

I heard a load pop similar to a gun shot. My sun roof had just spontaneously exploded. It buckled in the middle and the whole roof was shattered.

My sun roof spontaneously exploded. Heard a lid pop looked up and the entire window was shattered. I was on the highway.

From a stand still, when accelerating to enter into traffic. Depressing the accelerator, the truck only moves into traffic but then the truck fails to accelerate. There is a flat spot. No acceleration at times. I have to "pedal" the accelerator to try to get the truck to move. Meanwhile I am stuck with traffic rapidly approaching because I cannot get out of the way. This problem happens intermittently and always at the worst time like when trying to enter onto a highway. I have had near collisions twice due to this problem. Nissan dealer has found nothing. They cannot reproduce the problem when I take it to them.

Set cruise control at 55 MPH on an interstate highway. When going down a slight hill, speed increases and the cruise control will disengage. At the bottom of the hill, speed drops approximately five (5) miles below set speed before cruise control reengages. I have also tested a 2015 Nissan frontier with lead mechanic and the same problem occurred. I am concerned about the safety issue. After the dealership ran diagnostics, they saw no problems. Nissan usa is aware of this. *tr

Takata recall. When in a "front end collision" at a high rate of speed (est. 70-80 MPH), at impact, no air bags were deployed and resulted in hitting my head either against the steering wheel or the driver's side window (I am unsure, as I lost consciousness for seconds after the collision). This collision occurred, most recently, on 08/28/18. I was also involved in a "front end collision" with a semi-truck/18-wheeler in february of 2018. This was also at a high rate of speed but the impact was to the passenger side, predominantly. Although I didn't have a passenger, I still was hit hard enough that the impact jolted my head to, once again, hit my steering wheel and resulting in being transported to the er via los angeles fire department. Both of these accidents occurred on the highway and

Vehicle was in service dept. For lojack installment. Before leaving I notice the rear sonar system on the vehicle wasn"t working nor showing on the rear view monitor. Was told the hold system need to be replace due to manufacturer defect. The fact is I just purchased the vehicle on 9/4/2014. *tr

With less than 500 miles on new vehicle, noticed not only headlights were very dim, but extremely weak on driver side. When safely at home, open hood to see if there was a problem. The white plastic retaining ring that holds the headlight bulb (9007) in the headlight housing was off and hanging on the wires, and the headlight bulb was starting the come out of the headlight housing. After talking to the dealership, they compared the retaining ring to three other new, never sold before frontiers and found this was a standard part. The ring does not make a full 1/4 turn to tighten and the amount of pressure / force to tighten retaining ring equaled to almost nothing. Unknown if this will be a constant issue in my future ownership of this vehicle, but since this was an issue on every fron

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 Nissan frontier. The contact stated that the surface of the dashboard melted and became sticky and shiny. When the sunlight shined on the melted surface of the dashboard, a glare was present creating a visibility hazard. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 19,000.
