• Recall 2010061 [Canada]: Fuel supply
  On certain vehicles, the molded fuel tanks are slightly thinner than specification in the area under the fuel sender unit. This may allow the tank floor to deform causing the fuel sender float to interfere with other features inside the tank. This could cause the instrument panel fuel gauge to show a fuel level of approximately one quarter tank when the fuel tank is empty. An inaccurate fuel gauge can lead to engine stalling while driving, which may increase the risk of a crash causing property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: letters will be sent to owners in two stages. The first letter will advise owners of fuel gauge inaccuracy and recommend maintaining a fuel level above the one half position. The second letter will follow, requesting owners bring their vehicles to a dealer for replacement of the fuel sender unit.

Transmission failure due to coolant in trans oil contaminating trans components. Total trans rebuild/replace radiator and trans cooler. 130k miles on vehicle - low miles for a 2008 frontier. The vehicle shuddered, hesitated, would not pick up speed as it should, was having difficulty shifting thru gears as it transitioned from stop to moving, typically around 30-40 mph under load (accelerating). We have since found out this is a known problem. Expensive repair!

First long trip since i bought the used truck, a trip to oakridge, 90 mile round trip from home. The truck made it back to our driveway, then when i put on the break for my husband to get out, it would not move and all the dash lights came on. I couldn't budge the truck. It was locked up. Couldn't move the stick. The engine quit. Forced it into park and tried to restart, but not a sound. The neighbor came over with his code reader. It said P1000. Battery checked good, got a new one anyway because its age. Grounds were good, but cleaned anyway. Had it towed to dealer. They put a new transmission in.

The antifreeze and transmission fluid got mixed together in my truck and i am now told that the manufacturer knew that the truck would at least give me 100,000 miles before that would actually happen. *tr

Around march 23, 2020 i noticed my drivers seat moving when i accelerate or slow down. I thought the problem was loose hardware so i was going to tighten the mounting bolts over the weekend. When i started to tighten the hardware i found it was all tight. But the seat continued to move about. That weekend i removed the driver's seat and found the front right mounting point torn out of the sheet metal. The threaded re-enforcement tab had torn through the sheet metal used at the seat mounting point. I removed the tab from the seat and noticed that the spot welds had not failed it was the sheet metal brace bracket, it was attached to, that had failed. I first noticed the movement while heading home from work and accelerating from a stop. I was making a left turn from a 2 lane side road to a 6 lane divided city road. In the time that i have owned this vehicle it has never been wreaked, and to the best of my knowledge this vehicle has never been in an accident. I have gotten several repair estimates from collision shops. Universally all of the shops claimed to have never seen this kind of damage. *tr
