15 Most Common Nissan Frontier Problems (2014+ model years) 

I just got a 2016 I'm hoping I made the right choice

I just got a 17. Did you do anything to to keep it going so strong that I could do?

@@pinkitten1712 maintenance!

@@pinkitten1712 i have had my 2017 frontier for about a year and a half. just minor upkeep with over 30k miles added since I got it and no issues

@@pinkitten1712 if its the diesel 2.5 It is good and really reliable, but there are some things other than regular maintenance that may improve performance and reliability in the long term. Firstly, there is a system that returns black exhaust gas filled with unburned diesel to the engine so that it is completely burned. It is better for the environment and for fuel consumption, but it is bad for the cleanliness and quality of the engine. Because it is filled with carbon from the exhaust gas that returns to the engine, so it may cause you some problems in the long run, and you must clean the engine from the inside more. I dismantled it and programmed the oxygen sensor since the end of the warranty, so I do not suffer from any problems. Perhaps the exhaust produces thick black smoke when you step on it. Pedal hard, but this is normal, and this is what is expected from a diesel engine, and I would prefer for this black gas to be out of my engine, not returned to the engine In order to fix the environmental damage caused by giant factories

can we be friends? I just bought one

My 15 Frontier has 90k miles n not a single problem so far but i do all maintenance on it myself

Hey just bought a 2014, it’s got 94k on it. Love the truck, any long term issues you’ve experienced?

@@roccit Zero long term issues. It was a fantastic truck. Only got rid of it after it was rear ended and totaled. We walked away without a scratch.

Bought a 2014 with 4.0 engine new. Have put 197,000 miles on it many miles towing a trailer. Changed brakes at 177000 miles and changed battery plus regular maintenance. Nothing has gone wrong with it till now. This has been best vehicle I've ever owned. Sorry to say transmission has started slipping just last night . That's why I'm on here. But I am going to fix the tranny and continue driving it.

Yup, exactly, that would explain why it has a generic AI voice and only talks about general problems across multiple years. So many AI generated videos, they dont have resources to clean them all out.

just bought a 2017 and the drive is incredibly smooth for a truck, best vehicle I've ever owned

My boss is a Chevy guy and he makes fun of me for my Nissan. 🤦‍♂️

@@BW9971 gm cam lifter problems wont age well for him

@@slumy8195 huh?

What type of maintenance did you do? I just got a 17 and want to take care of it

@@pinkitten1712 Basic Oil Change, belt change, battery change. all the little stuff I dont need a computer for

I had my starter fail at 60k but no other problems at 85k

Obviously thats not your problem or your buying cheap aftermarket sensors

I’m replacing my front struts with some aftermarket Monroe shock and strut assemblies this week. I’m having the same problem. From what I’ve gathered, the man problems are : sway bar endlinks, inner and outer tie rod failure, and control arm bushing wear. I probably am going to replace the rest but I’ll let you know how it goes after I get the shocks replaced.

that would be your wheel bearings.

@@slumy8195 When I got my alignment done. I realized that my tires are toed out and my left front tire is toed in. That could be the issue. 🤦‍♂️

My 2015 did that. It was the cam position sensors. They cost about $40 each but I had a shop install them. No issues since then.

Same on my 2014.

Anything for clicks. This video is dumb

Bought new 2016 now 230K and still going strong, I've driven the Tacoma among others and for reliability and value you cant go wrong with the Frontier. The only thing I have an issue with is MPG. 15 on average but if I drive like a normal person I get 19MPG average. This is an analog truck the design has been around since 2005 and refined to perfection. I wouldn't buy anything under 2016 and stay away from the newer 3.8 V6 version only because it was made for 2 years before the new generation.

@@jtaylor37160 Sadly the one it was ment for kinda got "set" on toyota sence we have been looking. One we was looking at had 4L v6 with 94k on it. looked clean imo and was 23k. Once I herd "stuck accelerating" though... Ill pass on that as it was going to be for an older lady to use on back mt. roads a 04 corolla cant get up, for fishing/camping

@@Xanthro2 hate to tell you, my brothers Tundra and my dads tacoma both had issues. My dads Tacoma (2016) had a crank position sensor failure, which potentially could have created engine failure and he had a differential leak, which caused diff failure. Both vehicles were recalled for airbags and the tundra was also recalled for the frame. If you’re buying based on a guarantee of no failure, good luck.

@@joesteel3459 Aye I understand nothing is flawless, but given the history of Tacoma vs many other things, it seems to have a far better record then most as far as I can find. Also, cost of repair is another factor of mine, toyotas are just cheaper to fix it seems as they are more common and many things across there line up use the same parts like chevi/ford fleet cars/trucks/vans. I just don't ever wanna touch a dodge, ford, chevi ever again and I dont really trust Nissan, even less so now that I've seen this video.

@@Xanthro2 I don’t blame you on the Ford, Chevy, Dodge…more recalls than I would care to deal with too. I just come from a “Toyota family” they are great. My first vehicle was a 1986 Toyota pickup that my dad passed down to me in 1995. We’ve had Toyotas ever since. I did recently buy a 2023 frontier pro 4x after driving a new Tacoma, which I personally thought was uncomfortable, I hate the constant gear searching, and felt it was a bit underpowered compared to the Nissan. But they are great vehicles, just didn’t want you to think you were guaranteed reliability security because it’s Toyota. Anything can happen. For the future, I hope Toyota doesn’t go the turbo route. That “cheaper to fix” and reliability will take a hit for sure.
