2018 Nissan Frontier Complaints

I BOUGHT MY 2018 FRONTIER WITH 40K MILES ON IT BACK IN APRIL 2018. I NOW HAVE ABOUT 56K MILES ON IT. OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS IT GOT HARDER AND HARDER TO PUT GAS IN IT AND FOR A MONTH NOW IT SHUTS OFF MULTIPLE TIMES AND OR SPITS GAS OUT WHEN I TRY TO FILL IT. YES, WHILE FILLING THE TANK THE GAS PUMP WILL SHUT OFF AND GAS WILL SPIT OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE AND SPILL ONTO THE GROUND! TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL DEALER AND ASSUMED IT WOULD BE FIXED UNDER WARRANTY NOT KNOWING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS COMMON ISSUE. DEALER LOOKED AT IT AND TOLD ME $1,600 AND SUGGESTED REPLACING FILLER TUBE ASSEMBLY, CANISTER FILLER, CANISTER ASSEMBLY, CONTROL VALVE ASSEMBLY AND EVAP CONTROL SYSTEM PRESSURE SENSOR. THE PAPERWORK SAYS 'PLEASE CHECK AND ADVISE FOUND DTC FOR VENT VALVE P0448 SERVICE BULLETIN NTB15-079.' THEY SAID MY VEHICLE WAS OVER THE 35K GENERAL WARRANTY MILEAGE. I DID ONE MINUTE OF RESEARCH ON THE WEB AND FOUND A TSB AND NISSAN WEBSITE FOR THE WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT (15YRS/150K). I CALLED THE DEALER...

VEHICLE WAS STOPPED, FOOT ON BRAKE, EXITING A PUBLIC PARKING LOT, WHEN SUDDENLY ENGINE ACCELERATED RAPIDLY AND WHEELS WERE SCREECHING. THE PASSENGER OF VEHICLE HAD TO PLACE TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL, THEN PARK TO STOP VEHICLE FROM MOVING FORWARD. THIS ACTION DID NOT STOP ENGINE FROM REVVING AT EXTREME HIGH SPEED--RATHER, THE ENGINE WOULD SLOW DOWN AFTER ABOUT 3-5 SECONDS. THIS HAPPENED 5 TIMES, WITHIN A 10 MINUTE 4 MILE DRIVE, BUT NOT CONSISTENTLY. DRIVING APPROX. 15-25 MPH BETWEEN STOP SIGNS: BRAKE WOULD BE APPLIED AND THEN ENGINE AND TRUCK WOULD RACE FORWARD. EACH TIME THE PASSENGER WAS REQUIRED TO PUT SHIFT LEVER IN NEUTRAL TO AVOID HITTING VEHICLES OR OBJECTS IN FRONT OF VEHICLE. THE DRIVER WOULD CLEARLY STATE THAT FOOT WAS NOT ON THE GAS PEDAL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE AND ACCELERATOR PEDALS WERE TOO CLOSE TOGETHER. WHILE BRAKING, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WOULD ALSO DEPRESS AND THE VEHICLE WOULD LUNGE FORWARD. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS LOOSE AND WOULD TRAVEL ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOORBOARD WHEN DEPRESSED HARD. THE CONTACT SPOKE WITH JEFF WYLER FAIRFIELD CADILLAC KIA NISSAN (5815 DIXIE HWY, FAIRFIELD, OH 45014, (513) 682-2500). THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO THE MANUFACTURER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 500. *TT*JB

THE REAR WHEELS LOCK-UP WHILE DRIVING AT 25 MPH - 40 MPH. THE O/D LIGHT FLASHES AND VEHICLE STOP ACCELERATING AND THEN WILL START BACK. TOOK IT BACK TO DEALER FOR REPAIRS. IT WORKED FINE FOR A WEEK AND DID THE SAME THING AGAIN. THIS NEARLY CAUSED ME TO BE REAR ENDED. I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS AGAIN. IT HAS LESS THAN 4500 MILES ON IT.

THE THROTTLE CONTROL, FOOT PEDAL, HAS DEAD SPOTS THAT HAPPEN WHEN LEAVING A STOP SIGN, GREEN LIGHTS, PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC. ALSO CLIMBING A HILL WHEN YOU STEP ON THE GAS NOTHING HAPPENS UNTIL THE TRANSMISSION KICKS DOWN THEN YOU GO TO FAST. THIS HAPPENS OCCASIONALLY. IT IS BETTER IF YOU TURN OF THE OVERDRIVE DID IT STILL HAPPENS. I HAVE HAD IT BACK TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES.DEALER REPROGRAMMED THE TRANSMISSION, REPROGRAMMED THE THROTTLE BODY AND THEN REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY. WHEN I PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC I DO NOT KNOW IF THE TRUCK IS GOING TO MOVE OR NOT. SOMETIME THERE IS ABOUT A SECOND DELAY UNTIL IT CATCHES AND THEN SOMETIMES IT CHIRPS THE TIRES. I HAVE JUST OVER 1000 MILES ON THIS TRUCK AND DO NOT FEEL SAFE. THIS IS MY FORTH NISSAN FRONTIER, I NEVER EXPERIENCED ANY FEAR IN DRIVING THE OTHER TRUCK. I BELIEVE IT AND ANY OTHERS WITH THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE RECALLED OR THE TRUCKS REPLACED. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM SINCE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK.
