1. Engine knock in some trucks. Not just at start-up.
2. Noise in dash, like a finger taping the dash somewhere.
3. Squeaks, Dash
4. Rubber around door rips near door catch
5. Design flaws (in my opinoin), Center arm rest is back to far & too low. Side mirrors control on dash, should be on door, like a Titan. Only drivers door can be opened by the key(2010 anyway). Gas shuts off when filling tank several times each fill-up. But They LOOK Great!

I bought my 2016 Frontier ProSport because I liked the looks of it…. I didn’t know anything about it at the time.

Lets not forget the rear axle vent piece-o-crap ( thanks DANA Industries ), and the SMoD and timing chains on early models. Other than that, it's a great truck and I've loved every minute of it. Would not trade for any other manufacturer or model, except maybe an early Land Rover, still have a soft heart for early British stuff.

Do you top off the tank when filling up?

no doubt. since they remedied the SMOD about 2009 i don't think you could go wrong with one of these trucks. i drove mine for 12.5 years and i think i'm about to sell it for ~10k less than i bought it. what a deal.

I thought I heard that Frontiers sometimes have carrier bearings go bad causing a clunking sound when going in to gear and possibly that cause of high speed vibrations???

 

[Malcolm]

All good bearings must end.

I'll pass on early British electrics especially the MG.

I was hearing guys with low mileage were having issues with high speed vibrations, even some test driving brand new trucks they haven't even purchased yet.

Oh, I never said the Prince of Darkness, Lucas Electrics, made anything decent. I just said I like old LR's. ROFL.

Yep had me MGB should have called Lucifer.

2014 Nisson Frontier, When driving my hood seems loose like too much slack an it's kind of flapping a bit or moving like it isn't shut tight and I was fearing it may fly open. I checked it, it was latched but too much slack. I even cut 2 small pieces of black pool noodle and then cut those length wise half way and slid them on the edge of the hood before closing to take up some of the slack but is there a way to get my hood to latch tighter without having to drive with pool noodles lol? Has anyone else had this problem? I only just bought it a couple of months ago.

 

[Malcolm]

What shape are your rubber hood stops in? Is weather seal in good condition? Or might be able to adjust hood latch.

Loosen the bump stops on the hood. That will take up the slack.

Thank you for the response and information and especially the photo's. I will have to check a
L that out in the morning. I don't understand the photo with the really large circle. Would you please explain more. I guess you should use the simplest terms possible because I have no mechanical knowledge and this 2014 Nisson is my very first truck ever and iv only had it a couple of months. So far I love it and by the way I have another quick question...How come I can't get but like 2 music stations on the factory radio and one of them is Spanish but I can get in any other vehical and have no problem? I tried all the modes including FM 1 and FM 2 and no luck

Oh you mean that's the weather seal with the largest circle. Ok thanks but how do you adjust the hood latch? I didn't know that could be done..thanks again!

 

[Malcolm]

It’s weatherstripping runs across front of hood, as for radio possibly bad antenna? You may be able to adjust the latch by loosening the bolts circled and push/tap downward. Also like grumpy said you can turn the bump stops counterclockwise a little to lower them.

 

[KM Richards]

how do you adjust the hood latch?

You may be able to loosen the hood latch bolts a little and slide the how thing down slightly and re-tighten the bolts.

That way when the hood is closed and is latched, it can be a little lower than it is now.

You must mean Lucas, the prince of darkness, heh, heh.

When its cold outside and i go to fill up. My nozzle makes a "Gush" sound and then spews fuel all over my hand and down the side of my bed. Its done this 4 times in the last week.

Is it just because of the pressure building up from the cold weather and when i turn on my vehicle and drive. The pressure rises and when the pressurized air is let out. Or am i missing something...???

Same thing with mine, I’m not certain but aside from being a gas guzzker, if u just let it breathe a few before pumping? Won’t happen

Have you quickly turned the key twice? I have a king cab and I can unlock both doors in my 2005 if I unlock twice.

My 2014 does the same; but I don't have to do it quickly, just two sequential turns.
