My airbag warning light IS on. My mechanic noticed a recall, campaign ID r0807, but the recall only affects vehicles registered in 'salt' states. I live in va but traveled extensively in pa, maryland, dc for work for many years. Since my vehicle IS experiencing the failure that the recall was issued for, my vehicle should be covered as part of the recall. The recall should be extended to bordering states to account for frequent travel across state lines.

My airbag light IS flashing and the front air bag crash zone sensor needs to be replaced. There IS a recall in effect, but only for vehicles in 'salt' states. My vehicle IS registered in va, but I traveled in pa, md, and dc for several years for work, so my vehicle should be covered on the existing warranty recall.

Dealership never informed me that the way to fix the airbag on my 2009 nissan frontier pro 4X was to replace each part until the problem went away.

- Fuel/propulsion system
Nissan frontiers of are experencing many problems with their emission systems. Evap control values are failing at various mileages. The dealers blame dust in the system. The dealers are charging very high prices to repair the system. Nissan has already changed the evap control vent switch design 3 times. This means they know they have a problem and are refusing to recall the trucks.

My 09 nissan frontier SE (automatic transmission) grinded a bit when changing gears. I noticed it was between 3RD and 4TH gears. Sometimes it was louder and longer than other times. Sometimes it didn't happen at all. I noticed it happens when I accelerated slowly with the gas only slightly pressed. It didn't happen at all when accelerating to get on the freeway, for example.i had purchased my frontier as a used truck with about 113K miles on it from the nissan dealership in everett, wa and nothing was said of any transmission issues (as you'd expect from a dealer). Only about 3 weeks later after purchasing it the transmission started doing very strange things. While I was driving on the road, my truck was shifting like normal. However, all of a sudden when shifting to the next gear I heard and felt a loud thump from the engine, then the truck sounded like it was in a very high gear and the engine would rev very loudly while I pressed the gas pedal, but my truck wasn't accelerating at all. It seemed like the car was in neutral. I had to pull over on the side of the road and turn off my truck, then restart t to drive again. However, the problem continued but this time it was after I had gotten on the freeway. It would happen after accelerating and shifting all through each gear (around the 4th/5th gear range). I had to pull over 2 more times before finally getting to work.

Transmission needs to be rebuilt due to manufacturing defect after only 64,000 miles. Radiator fluid has leaked into the transmission oil which IS a manufacturer defect. Quoted $4200 in repairs-they will need to re-manufacture the transmission and replace the at valve. I reached out to nissan for assistance in the matter since I am just outside of the 5 yr 75,000 mile extended warranty (5 months over 5 yrs). They advised this IS not something they will help with. When I asked if this IS a normal occurrence for nissan transmissions to need to be repaired at 64K the regional customer service manager simply stated he IS not a mechanic. at 40mph, the vehicle jumped out of gear while driving. I had no power and needed to pull over. This put my property and well being in severe danger. Luckily I was able to get over without incident, but this may not be the case for someone else. this IS clearly a manufacturing flaw and needs to be handled responsibly by nissan. Extend my warranty and fix the transmission free of charge. *tr

On july 8, 2014 my a/c stopped working. I took it to a local dealer who later informed me that compressor locked up and shot metal particles throughout the a/c system. I had to have the entire a/c system replaced. Nissan refused to reimburse my $2500 expense because vehicle IS out of warranty. Please, investigate how the entire a/c system would fail on an 82,000-mile vehicle of a respectable brand like nissan. *tr

The brake pedals travels further down than top of accelerator pedal. In winter when wearing winter boots I had to make an quick stop to avoid a pedestrian crossing the street on a crosswalk. I found myself depressing the brake pedal and accelerator at same time nearly hitting person. There have been other incidents not as serious. I called dealer and nissan with no satisfaction. I also asked non-dealer shops and they said that nothing was wrong as far as they could see. my conclusion IS that this IS a design problem. The brake pedal, in an emergency, should not travel that far down. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(B)(6). *tr

Tire pressure monitor - stayed on after vehicle was serviced at dealer for 75,000 mi check up which included extensive review of all vehicle systems. after checking cold pressure several times and driving vehicle for several days tire pressure monitor would not go off. returned to dealer and requested the problem be fixed. They were helpful and polite but tried to charge me $160.75 for replacing the monitor because the battery went out in the monitor. I am complaining that I should not have spend $160 for each tire monitor because it's battery expired. The batteries should be replaceable in the tire monitor. I think it's unfair and poor design to require nissan owners to spend $640 over time to keep an important safety feature operational. this system needs to be redesigned to reflect a much less expensive(replaceable battery) replacement part or replace the monitors free of charge. *tr

On February 29, 2012 the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) received a letter petitioning the agency to conduct a defect investigation into MY 2005-2010 Nissan Pathfinder, Frontier, and Xterra vehicles [the subject vehicles] for automatic transmission failures related to failed transmission coolers.NHTSA conducted a comprehensive review of data related to this subject. Our report, documenting this review, is available in the document file for this defect petition.It will also be published in the Federal Register. Of the 2,505 referenced complaints, 638 relate to a potential hazard (unable to maintain speed, no motive power, engine stall) and 1,867 concern customer satisfaction issues including, but not limited to, repair cost, vehicle shudder and shake, and engine overheating.Taking into account the allocation of agency resources and priorities and the likelihood that additional investigation would result in a finding that an unreasonable risk to highway safety exists, we conclude that further investigation is not warranted and deny the petition.ODI Complaint ID numbers are referenced on the next page.

INTRODUCTION Nissan is conducting this voluntary safety recall campaign on certain specific model year 2005-2012 Pathfinder, and 2005-2013 Frontier and Xterra vehicles to inspect and, if necessary, replace the Driver Air Bag Cover. This service will be performed at no charge to the customer for parts or labor. IDENTIFICATION NUMBER Nissan has assigned identification number PC945 and PC948 to this campaign. This number must appear on all communication and documentation of any nature dealing with this campaign. DEALER RESPONSIBILITY It is the dealers responsibility to check Service COMM or Dealer Business Systems (DBS) National Service History for the campaign status on each vehicle falling within the range of this voluntary safety recall which for any reason enters the service department. This includes vehicles purchased from private parties or presented by transient (tourist) owners and vehicles in a dealers inventory. Federal law requires that new vehicles in dealer inventory which are the subject of a safety recall must be corrected prior to sale. Failure to do so can result in civil penalties by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. While federal law applies only to new vehicles, Nissan strongly encourages dealers to correct any used vehicles in their inventory before they are retailed.

See this bulletin for further detail.
- 10192597SERVICE INFORMATION When servicing run flat tires or low profile tires: - Special equipment and procedures are required to avoid damage. - Specifically, Tire Pressure Monitor transmitters (TPMS sensors) can be damaged when improperly dismounting and mounting tires. - TPMS sensors becoming damaged during mounting or dismounting tires are not covered under warranty. - To avoid such damage, ensure that the tire changer being used and the operator of the tire changer is capable of servicing run flat and low profile tires. - Operator?s manuals for such tire changers must be followed. See this bulletin for further detail.
- 10192591SERVICE INFORMATION After ECM reprogramming, the Calibration Verification Number (CVN) needs to be automatically calculated prior to State emissions testing (also known as Inspection Maintainence, I/M, or SMOG testing depending upon location). Allowing the vehicle to idle for 22 minutes will allow for faster CVN calculation. It is recommended that customers utilize this method if the vehicle needs to be tested for emissions soon after ECM reprogramming. See this bulletin for further detail.
- 10192532SERVICE INFORMATION NOTE - Failure to follow the procedures in this bulletin may result in the denial of a warranty claim. In an effort to protect the paint finish, Paint Guard Film (PGF) is applied on many new Nissan vehicles. Paint Guard Film is a temporary white plastic protective film that is applied by the factory to the horizontal painted surfaces of the vehicle. The PGF protects the paint finish during vehicle handling, transportation and storage from harmful elements such as acid rain, iron particles, bird droppings, tree sap and other environmental contaminants. NOTE - Paint Guard Film CANNOT remain on the vehicle for more than six months after the vehicle's manufacture date. PGF must be removed at the end of six months. See this bulletin for further detail.
