CarComplaints.com Notes: In a very limited selection on small pickup trucks, the Frontier is one of the best options except -- and I cannot emphasize this enough -- for one problem that makes it an avoid-at-all-costs pain in you know what: the radiator ruptures and leaks coolant into the transmission, killing it. Such a buzzkill.

The consumer also stated the metal part that protrudes from the tailgate to the body of the truck was not designed for the weight of the tailgate. Due to insufficient welding, the original inner half of the tailgate hinge can possibly break. The consumer was able to stop the tailgate from falling.
