But even with supercharging, acceleration is average. I almost was stuck by an oncoming vehicle due to the hesitation. Truck has only 100K kilometers or about 60K miles. Getting nowhere with Findlay Nissan, I reached out to Nissan North America directly. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle then proceeded to roll over the contacts foot, up his leg and crushed the right side of his ribs. Now the abs, slip and 4x4 did not work and I had hard times to make it safely home.
Now, when I think about it - I use to have Lincoln Town car that wouldn't shift more than to 2nd gear until engine was heated up significantly. Problem started 2016 when the car is cold transmission jerks from 1-2 gears. After 7 trips to the service department the consumers vehicle still had problems. The service records indicate this low mileage truck has been well maintained, taking the gamble out of a buyer's head. I phoned them back and explained what was going on with the truck and advised them since no one would help us, we traded the truck in, only 1600 miles, and purchased a new Chevrolet Colorado. ?? SnowSurf: yeah, that's what I was thinking about today. I have checked the transmission fluid, it is at an acceptable level, and it doesn't smell bad.
And if you adjust front seats - so will be people sitting in the front. After getting no results at the service department the consumer and general manager got into an arguement where the manager threatened the consumer. There are thousands of people with the same problem, and Nissan is not recalling it, and if it is over 80 thousand they do not cover it, even though it is a bad design and know to Nissan. Had transmission flushed and service center did not mention any discoloration of fluid or other problem. It became more and more troublesome.
Ride is awful, handling is unresponsive, and the cabin is cramped and uncomfortable. Or - torque converter is just simply messed up. Nissan said I was on my own and responsible for all repairs. Now that it's getting warmer outside, I might be convinced to drain a bit out. This began when the truck was new. I think they just removed pan and cleaned up or replaced something possibly the valve assembly. It almost acts like there is something frozen, and it shuts down to prevent damage.
The vehicle was no longer being utilized. The contact stated when traveling at speeds of at least 45 mph, the vehicle would exhibit unusual shaking and hard vibrations. This began when the truck was new. Our discount used 2004 Nissan Frontier transmissions come directly from a dependable network of modern junk yards. There was nothing wrong with our 2008, my husband wanted a 4 door and we had an extra cab. My trucks discrepancy might be isolated but what concerns me goes not only for my vehicle but also and more for all these consumers who have reported problems with their radiation+transmission.
They put clay inside indentations and painted over it at factory which is a defective issue for Nissan trucks when it was made!! Appreciate your response on this matter. The technician stated the transmission needed to be replaced. They are routine maintenance so, it's probably not a bad idea to do it regardless.

However, it doesn't sound cheap to fix. I'm within spitting distance of the highway, so usually everything is still cold when I get on it. Nissan fixed since still under warranty.
Will never purchase another Nissan of any type. This could be a major problem if the motor would lock up at a high rate of speed due to lack of lubrication. I have done research and noticed I am not the only person experiencing this problem. To force the trans to downshift I would press the accelerator pedal a little more. The vehicle was not repaired. Two back seats are mostly for show.
The failure mileage was 91,000. Many people seem to have a complaint about this issue, inside the radiator a crack develops that allows coolant to get into the transmission fluid and ruin the transmission. Lots of wind noise but again it's a whale. There were no recalls or warranties related to the failure. Like I had to do. I was told that earliest appointment I could get was 01-20-2011. Another was a part of a wire was showing and grounded which popped the fuse and yesterday May 22, 2018 it is now the heater element.
Found out at 40K miles about radiator recall which would blow up transmission at 80K if not replaced. I did all three at once, so I cannot say which one was the culprit. Feel like truck paint should have never rusted on top of cab!! Nissan does not acknowledge any problem with the transmission but clearly states that the defect was corrected in the later models. The current and failure mileages were approximately 152,000. Yes they had a recall. The vehicle was taken to the dealer but the failure could not be duplicated. I used it for installing cable all over northern California.
Never found out what they did to it but I assume there had to be sticky valves or something since they couldn't remove and put back the tranny so quick. Total cost so far is approx. It jerks and shakes at that moment. The contact stated she was in the process of seeking assistance from the manufacturer. Here is a a link to settlement against Nissan.
