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.

This problem affects most 2005-2008 (and maybe beyond) Frontiers.

I noticed at driving speeds of around 45 mph the truck would shake very bad. Also my heater would only blow cold air. When I took the truck in they said the transmission fluid looked like a strawberry milkshake. $6000 later and looking online seeing all the other people that have had the same issues I am trying to figure out why Nissan is not being held responsible?
