From my Internet search using Google Gemini, (and Google AI has a disclaimer it can make errors), I have replaced my distributer on my 2000 Nissan Frontier three times now due to a stalling problem I have experienced on hot days. My 2000 Nissan Frontier is VIN [XXX] . Let's see how much Gemini info I can paste here: "The distributor on your KA24DE engine contains the camshaft position sensor, which is a critical component for engine timing. The distributor itself can fail for a number of reasons, including: Internal bearing failure: The bearing that the distributor shaft spins on can fail, causing the shaft to wobble or seize up. This disrupts the signal from the camshaft position sensor. Failed or failing camshaft position sensor: The sensor itself can fail due to age, heat, or internal electrical issues. Ignition coil failure: The ignition coil is often integrated into the distributor housing on this engine. As it heats up, it can fail and lose spark, causing the engine to stall. The reason this issue is often related to hot weather or a hot engine is that the heat can cause the internal components of the distributor to expand and fail, and it can also cause the ignition coil to break down more easily. Symptoms of Distributor Failure The symptoms for a failing distributor on the 2.4L are very similar to those of the V6 engine: Stalling, especially when hot: This is the most common symptom. The engine may run perfectly when cold, but after it has been running for a while and the engine compartment is hot, it may stall and refuse to restart until it cools down. Engine runs poorly: You may experience a rough idle, misfires, or a loss of power. Hard start or no start: A failing distributor can cause the engine to crank but not start, as it is unable to produce a spark." Nissan no longer provides a replacement distributor and I suspect aftermarket are rebuilds. ***Stalling in traffic I believe is a definite safety issue*** Please let me know.

Went into dealer to change passenger seat belt under life time warranty. Dealer said passenger seat belt was bad. Driver seat belt was replaced life time under warranty 5 months before. They said part seatbelt passenger was no longer in production and to call nissan. I called nissan and was given a case number. They told me they were searching for the part. Weeks go by with no official update but they changed the reps 2 times. The last nissan representative [xxx] contacted me april 15TH saying they could not find the part and would pay $800 for the trucks back. I questioned on why they would stop producing a lifetime warranty safety device passenger seat belt when it clearly could be a danger to rider in the passenger seat. Nissan had pictures of the truck and how great of condition it IS. I told them I just wanted a seat belt fixed under the life time warranty not to give away my truck for $800 when which has line-x, nav and tow for work. I asked [xxx] how does that help me? She said that was kelly blue book was $800. When I looked it was $4K not $800. I asked why the seat belt mechanism can't be fixed. She said that "i" would have to find a dealer to do that. Would not answer my question on getting 2ND option. Any question after she would not answer. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(B)(6). *Tt

Truck started to buck and hesitate during acceleration. Check engine light came on. Took truck to nissan dealer and was informed the fuel take sending was bad.

I noticed a fuel odor for about 2 days and then my check engine light came on. I went to my local nissan dealership on 9/26/2014 and was told that my fuel pump IS not sealing properly on top of my fuel tank due to rust. I was informed that the tank needs to be replaced and the cost would be $954 dollars. this IS the second time I have had this problem. this same problem occurred in may 2009. I had the same fuel odor issue. They dropped the tank,cleaned up the rust, resealed the fuel pump, and re-installed the tank. at the time it cost me $594 dollars. I have the receipts for both issues. At the time nissan corporate stated that they would not pay for the issue. This IS a recurring problem for me and I read under the "complaints" section for this vehicle that other people have had this same problem. this IS both a tank defect and more importantly a safety issue. *tr
