2002 Nissan Frontier Engine problems

The main issue on the Nissan Frontier that I just bought a few months ago that I need to report that I think should be recalled item is the passenger side exhaust manifold is cracked and it makes ticking noises the exhaust is loud and I am definitely getting exhaust fumes drawn into the cab especially when I turn the heater on now that it's winter time and it's getting CO2 carbon and exhaust fumes inside cab which is very toxic also the rear window defogger does not work and the cruise control does not work at all...

Was coming to a stop at a traffic light in s.C., When all of a sudden the motor started to race. I immediately turned the motor off. Turned it back on, and had no more problems. This was very frightening. [[redacted]] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.S.C. 552(B)(6). *Tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2002 nissan frontier. While driving approximately 30 mph, the engine warning indicator continuously illuminated until the engine was turned off. On a separate occasion the vehicle jerked violently with a reduction in the engine power.

The vehicle was taken back to the independent mechanic for the...

Tl* the contact owns a 2002 nissan frontier. The contact stated that the exhaust manifold was fractured and sending co2 through the vents while driving 25 mph and above. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer and the dealer replaced the passenger side exhaust manifold. After the repairs, the driver side exhaust manifold fractured and the contact took the vehicle back to the dealer. The dealer advised that it was common for the manifold to fracture in the particular year, make and model. The contact did not replace the driver side exhaust manifold. The failure mileage was 150,000.

Smelling exhaust fumes in my pickup cab. I had a new exhaust system installed and check by a mechanic. It was ok. He said I have a cracked exhaust manifold. I checked on the www and a lot of people are talking about this same problem. My truck is a nissan frontier year 2002. *Tr

I have a nissan altima with 88.000 Miles on it this car it should be just getting broken in just got done paying this car off it cost me around 18,000 dollars in 2004 paid it off in june 2009 thinking I could get back on my feet again but I see that wont happen not with a bad defective catalytic converter and a ruined engine that eats antifreeze and drinks oil that's just some of this cars issues poor heat or no heat in winter I cant believe with all of the complaints on all of the nissan sight nothing is being...

Nissan altima - check engine light came on november 2006. Nissan dealership stated that the catalytic converter sensor could be bad and not necessarily the part. They shut the light off and sent me on my way. The light continued to go off and on over the course of the next year yet passed a state emissions test. No other engine problems occurred. November, 2008 vehicle failed state emissions test - told it was the catalytic converter. Nissan dealership states the warranty ran out at 80k miles - the car has 83k miles. Have not had the car looked at by dealership mechanic yet for fear the estimated $1000 repair could turn into an engine replacement at a much higher cost. *Tr

Since 09/07 I have paid more than $2500.00 To replace, change, check, and maintain the oil in my car. I know have to change my oil every 1,500 miles instead of every 3,000 so it wont burn out the engine. It is a 2002 altima but apparently the "vin" number is not one that was in the recalled numbers yet it is having the exact problem that the other were recalled for. How is it that random number are chosen to fix and others are left to shell out and more likely have to buy a new (of course not a nissan at this point) care. *Tr

My new car was performing as it was supposed to and maintenance was being completed on a regular schedule. My vehicle started to cut off during operation in 2004/5. It would happen in the driveway, expressways, etc. It didn't matter. I took it to the nissan dealer and they claimed to fix the problem. Next my headlight began to blow a bulb every 2,0000-3,000 miles. I took it to the dealer and they replaced it. This occurred in 2005. Mid- july to late november 2006 my car began to stall in cold/warm weather. I took...

My vehicle is a 2002 nissan pathfinder. It only has about 55,000 miles. For a long time, I've heard kinda abnormal noise. Come to find out that the exhaust pipes on the left and right catalytic converters are cracked right down the middle. One side costs over $450 from dealer. I feel this is a defect and many pathfinder owners are reporting this problem. Dealer does not want to warranty. *Tr

Excess oil use, car using water, not starting then when it starts it blows black smoke. *Tr

2002 Nissan frontier. Electrical component; alternator/generator/regulator. Experiencing exact same problem as described in the nhtsa campaign id #05v319000. 1) Normal operation leading to failure. 2) Consequence; battery and brake warning lamps come on and battery begins to discharge. Engine goes into fail safe mode, engine will stop and could result in crash. 3) Dealer will not correct the problem without payment because the frontier does not have this particular recall and the dealer states the vehicle has exceeded the 3yr warranty limit even though the vehicle was purchased new 26 months ago. *Nm

While driving the vehicle at an undetermined speed the vehicle stalled, causing the consumer to pull off the road. The consumer took the vehicle to a mechanic. Please add any additional information.

Engine rattle during cold starts. Severity and duration change from day to day. Some days more pronounced and lasts as long a 10-12 sec, others not to noticable and lasts3-5- secs.

While driving vehicle suddenly started to shake and vibrate erratically, and then vehicle completely shutdown. Please provide any further information*ak.

While driving at about 70 to 75, under acceleration, I heard a loud noise and then the vehicle's rpms dropped down to about 500 as if the vehicle had no gas. I pulled over and turned the truck off I made sure that there was gas, and started the vehicle again and the check engine light came on. It seemed to run at about the correct rpm so I took it directly to the dealer. They had it for a week, and ultimately said that it was a bad oxygen sensor (the vehicle is supercharged) that caused the problem. I am not too confident in that explanation. God willing, the problem is fixed. The truck was only 3 weeks old at the time of the incident.*Ak
