While fueling at different gas stations the tank spills/belches gas all over. This is a major safety issue and needs recalled. There are endless complaints on www.clubfrontier.org of similar issues occurring to other Frontier owners. I took it to my local mechanic and was quoted over $800 to replace all 5 components of the system as Nissan has suggested in a bulletin for mechanics. If Nissan is aware of this issue enough to issue a technical bulletin then the issue needs to be recalled and repaired for free because gas spilling/spraying all over me every time I fill up my vehicle is out right dangerous and unsafe. Bulletin number ntb16-122
Engine hesitates or stalls on acceleration. When pulling out from a stop engine hesitates to near stall no matter how hard or far you press gas pedal. Extremely dangerous. Intermittent issue, no failure codes when tested. If engine doesn't stall, vehicle is at a stand still even with gas pedal to floor or pumping gas pedal. Is happening all the time, extremely dangerous. Nearly hit by oncoming traffic several times. Dealership has had many reports of same issue, but no solution. I am afraid to drive vehicle.
Hesitation from idle to take off-never know when it is going to act up, for example turning in front of another vehicle-- will I make it this time without an accident?
Air bag light comes on when driving on a dirt road. Fuel related, but not sure, engine light is on it might be evaporative emission system vent circuit shorted. Left wheel passenger side rotor cover keeps twisting and rubs against the wheel and makes noise.
I have documented everything. Pictures, receipts, who I talked to, dates. Everything in a long outline that I will attach. Please read it. The issue is that I purchased this truck 12-28-2016 and have yet to get the advertised fuel capacity of 21.1 gallons. My truck gets about consistently 15 gallons to fill up and no reserve tank. Nissan is not disputing that there is a defect and my vehicle is not the only one. There is another truck at my dealership right now with the same exact problem. And the dealership has admitted that there are others. Plus I've found more online in forums. They don't know how to fix it yet.

The throttle on the truck will fail to accelerate then will surge forward. Other times it is as if the truck engine is trying to quit running. Today I stopped by the dealership and they found no dcts on the computer, after test driving the truck 10 mi. No problems found. But this is an intermittent problem. After this test the truck did it again going home stall then surge forward ( could do it in fwd or rev) will continue to get dealer to test by leaving truck there a few days. Just wondering if any others out there. Some say these trucks have sensitive accelerators this is not sensitive. This always happens when the truck has been stopped like at a red light when starting to accelerate again but cannot be predicted and 80% of the time it won't happen. The accelerator or the throttle body I believe is the problem but again no dtcs were found"??". (the dealership I believe will fix this they are very helpful but there may be more out there)
