2006 Nissan Frontier Electrical System Problems

The truck has been stalling while driving or won't start. The ECM relay was recalled and was taken care of Thursday, February 19. However, the truck still stalls while driving and won't start at times. I've asked Nissan to look at the IPDM to see if there was any consequential damage, but they won't without paying a fee for a diagnostic test. This is a major safety issue that needs to be fixed. The recall was from 2010, but we have only owned the vehicle since 2024 and had no idea about the recall.

Truck will turn on once in awhile and I was told it is the ipdm module and that there's a recall on the part. What can I do to get the part sent to me since there is a recall and the mechanic told me that with a recall I can get the part sent to me at no cost to me

The truck will start once in awhile has been taken to the shop and they said they ipdm module is the problem and that there's a recall on that part.

IPDM MODULE AND ECM SYSTEMS FAILURE 4.0 L V-6 CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON ALSO BATTERY LIGHT

VEHICLE WILL NOT CHANGE GEARS AND IS SLUGGISH. THE DISPLAY ON THE SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT SHOW THE POSITION OF THE TRANSMISSION. I HAVE SPENT OVER 600 DOLLARS TO FIND OUT THAT THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE IS BAD AND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL TO FIX COOLENT LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. MY VEHICLE IS STILL BROKEN BECAUSE OF THE PART COST 1100 USD AND THE REPAIR. TOTAL BILL IS 1600 USD. THIS WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE FIXED WITHOUT ME PAYING A DIME. MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. NOW IT WON'T EVEN GET UP TO SPEED THE TRANSMISSION SOUNDS AS IF IT IS STUCK IN A GEAR. VERY ERRATIC. MY CRUISE CONTROL ALSO JUST BLINKS AND WHEN THE MECHANIC TESTED THE CODES IT GAVE A NETWORK FAILURE CODE

FUEL SENDER UNIT FAILED AND CAN NO LONGER ESTABLISH AMOUNT OF FUEL AND NOW AT RISK BEING STRANDED. APPARENTLY THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH FRONTIERS

VEHICLE DIES WHILE DRIVING LOOSES ALL ELECTRICAL , SITS FOR FEW HOURS WORKS NORMAL

HIGHWAY DRIVING AT 55 MPH THE ENGINE STALLED AND STOPPED IN MID-TRAFFIC RESULTING MULTIPLE SYSTEM LOSS; INCLUDING POWER STEERING. WARNING LIGHTS THAT ILLUMINATED WERE SERVICE ENGINE SOON AND, SLIP. RESEARCHING THIS COMBINATION WITH THE ASSOCIATED ENGINE FAILURE SHOWS A MINIMUM FAILURE OF THE CAM SHAFT SENSOR AND POSSIBLE INTERFERENCE WITH ENGINE COOLING. ADDITIONAL RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THIS A RECALL ISSUE FOR FRONTIERS. BUT, WHEN I ENTERED MY VIN INTO YOUR SYSTEM TO CHECK RECALLS, THE REPONSE IS THAT THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR THIS VEHICLE. THAT SEEMS IN CONFLICT WITH WHAT IS BEING SAID ABOUT THERE BEING A RECALL AND THE OBVIOUS EXTREME DANGER OF ENGINE AND SYSTEM FAILURES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS

THE EVIDENCE OF ENGINE AND POWER TRANSFER EVIDENTLY PROGRESSED OVER OF DAYS AND REGRESSED WITHIN A MATTER OF HOURS, THEN MINUTES TO THE POINT WHERE ENGINE WOULD BARELY START AND OBVIOUSLY BARELY PROPEL THE TRUCK OVER 10 MPH W/ENGINE DYING OUT REGARDLESS OF THROTTLE OR AUTOMATIC SHIFT POSITION. I LIMPED THE VEHICLE TO THE NEAREST RESPECTED AND QUALIFIED TECH BOB WELLS -TOTAL CAR CARE. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME NISSAN'S LACK OF "DUE DILIGENCE" LEFT CUSTOMER DOWN, ALL WITHIN A YEAR OR SO. A FRUSTRATING,TIME CONSUMING,AND COSTLY EXPERIENCE.

THERE IS A RECALL LISTED FOR 2006 NISSAN FRONTIERS WHERE THE GAS GAUGE DROPS TO 1/4 TANK WHEN FILLED, AND THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. "THE MOLDED SHELLS CAN DEFORM, CAUSING THE FUEL SENDER FLOAT ARM TO CONTACT AN EMBOSSMENT MOLDED INTO THE TANK SHELL CAUSING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FUEL GAUGE TO SHOW THAT THE VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY ONE QUARTER TANK WHEN THE FUEL IS EMPTY." WHEN I CALLED NISSAN NORTH AMERICA THEY LOOKED UP MY VIN AND SAID IT WAS NOT FROM A "BATCH OF CARS THAT ARE COVERED". ARE YOU KIDDING? PLEASE ADDRESS THIS WITH NISSAN...

WHEN FUEL TANK IS FULL, GAUGE DROPS TO EMPTY UNTIL YOU DRIVE 75-150 MILES, THEN THE NEEDLE REGISTERS NORMAL FOR THE PAST YEAR AND DEALER DIDN'T FIND THE ISSUE. NOW ENGINE LIGHT REGISTERS AND INSPECTION STICKER IS BEING REFUSED.

GAS GAUGE STOPS WORKING AFTER HALF TANK IS USED01.

THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FUEL GAUGE TO SHOWS THAT THE VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY ONE QUARTER TANK WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS EMPTY. FOUND OUT THAT THE FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT INSIDE THE FUEL TANK DOSE NOT WORK SOMETIME .WHEN WE FILL THE FUEL TANK THE FUEL GAUGE WILL DROP TO EMPTY AN SHOWS THAT WE DON'T HAVE FUEL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUSES LOCATED IN THE IPDM MALFUNCTIONED, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STALL WHILE THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 32 MPH. THE CONTACT HAD A MECHANIC PERFORM A DIAGNOSTIC TEST WHICH DETERMINED THAT THE FUSE BOX NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT DID NOT TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 118,000.

GAS TANK GAUGE LEVEL ONLY GOES TO FULL 24 HRS AFTER FILL UP. PROBABLY SENDING UNIT AND NOT HOLE IN TANK. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER NISMO I HAVE HAD 3 FUEL "SENDING UNITS" REPLACED AND HAVE ONLY 21000 MILES ON THE TRUCK. THIS IS DUE TO VERY ERRATIC AND SOMEWHAT UNSAFE DEFECTIVE EQUIPMENT IE; GAS GAUGE/SENDING UNIT. I RECENTLY HAD IT REPLACED FOR THE THIRD TIME AND IT IS NOW WORSE THAN BEFORE. I AM VERY FRUSTRATED AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A UNIVERSAL PROBLEM WITH THE GAS GAUGE/SENDING UNIT. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A RECALL AND THIS PROBLEM FIXED ONCE AND FOR ALL. THANKS *TR

CLUTCH FAILED SUDDENLY ON AN I-95 ONRAMP, TOTAL FAILURE INCLUDING FLYWHEEL. JUST THIS MONDAY, MY TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY DISCONNECTED FROM THE ENGINE AT ABOUT 70MPH ON I-676 IN CENTER CITY PHILADELPHIA AS A RESULT OF ANOTHER CLUTCH FAILURE. I'VE BEEN DRIVING STICK MY ENTIRE LIFE AND THIS KIND OF SUDDEN FAILURE WITHOUT WARNING DOES NOT STRIKE ME AS NORMAL. ALSO, I HAVE THE FUEL GAUGE ISSUE WHERE IT FAILS TO CORRECTLY REGISTER THE AMOUNT OF GAS IN MY TANK. I'M THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS TRUCK AND I WISH I WASN'T. *TR
