Transmission is rolling 4-5 inches when moving from drive/reverse to park. I am concerned that the vehicle will roll away since it bounces when it finally catches. There was a previous recall 22V457000 but my specific VIN was not included for some reason.
In December 2021, I purchased a 2022 Nissan Frontier Pro-X. The vehicle comes with built-in navigation that, according to their website, should receive map updates quarterly. Since purchasing the vehicle, brand new, there have been no updates to the navigation system nor maps. I have gone back and forth with Nissan support and the dealership only to be told there are no updates. The maps are severely out of date, making a feature that many people rely on useless. Therefore, we are not getting full value of what we are paying for. This is a complaint for numerous Nissan owners as I've found in message board forums. Nissan is not addressing the problem and will not return my messages or address my concern directly.
Vehicle was parked and not running in driveway, and many hours later it rolled down the driveway on its own. This is not a driveway with an incline
Infotainment Center which includes rear camera view. Sometimes up to a one minute delay in the system turning on. The dealer has updated the system several times. It may help for awhile but the problem always returns.
2022 vehicle, have owned for less than two years. All cameras stopped working, even rear view camera when in Reverse. Went to dealer, and was quoted $5000 to fix issue, replace AVM control unit (Part # 284A1-9BU1A) Not covered under factory warranty due to having too many miles. It is a common issue to that particular model (2022 Frontier Pro-x) from what I've gathered online. I think it's definitely a safety concern not having a rear view camera and outrageous I would be expected to pay $5000 to fix the issue without even being certain the problem will happen again in another two years
On July 14, 2023 at approximately 07:15 am, my 2022 Nissan Frontier SV caught on fire. I got home from work at approximately 07:05 am. There were no signs of a possibility of a fire. The front left corner of the truck was destroyed along with other things that melted from the fire. The damage at this time is approximately $27,000. The truck is being investigated as a thermal incident through Nissan USA. They say it will take approximately 8 weeks to finish. At this time it is unsure as to the cause of the fire. You will also see a picture of warning lights from May 10, 2023. I was told not to worry about them because the front sensor was probably wet. Nissan could not trace a problem code.
Caught fire after minor car accident. Impact to left front fender, minimal damage to body.
There has been no progress or update from Nissan on a remedy for the 2 open recalls they have for my vehicle. As stated on the NHTSA website "If the manufacturer has failed or is unable to remedy this safety recall for your vehicle in a timely manner, please contact the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at: 1-888-327-4236 or TTY: 1-800-424-9153 or file an online complaint with NHTSA." It has been several months since both of these recalls were reported, this is not being handled in a timeline manner by Nissan.
I TRIED TO CALL THE NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS NUMBER IN THE NHTSA NOTICE AND I WAS DISCONNECTED MULTIPLE TIMES ; THEY DO NOT ANSWER ; I THEN CALLED THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER AT NISSAN PORT CHESTER IN NY AND THEY SAID THEY "ARE RESTRICTED BY THE MANUFACTURER" AND CANNOT ADDRESS THE SAFETY ISSUE SINCE WE AND NISSAN ARE ON NOTICE OF A SAFETY DEFECT AND A RISK OF ACCIDENT AND INJURY THIS IS NOT A RESPONSIBLE POSTURE . I INTEND TO MAKE THIS PUBLIC SO I WOULD ASK THAT NHSTA TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION TO CAUSE NISSAN TO TAKE CORRECTIVE ACTION WITHOUT DELAY . ANY DELAY CREATES RISK OF INJURY PLEASE ADVISE WHAT YOU INTEND TO DO THANK YOU
So nissan is using Hankook tires that Hankook says is good for 70,000 miles. But on the new frontier mine in 10 months and 11,000 miles have wore to 4/32nd to 5/32nds in spots and nissan and Hankook says they won't warranty tires sold on new vehicles. So I'm supposed to just spend another $1,000 on new tires for my new truck.
