Did I ever tell you guys about my 2017 Nissan Frontier SV 2.5 with the 5-speed manual gearbox? The first time I went to clean my windshield the fluid pump didn't work. The first time I went to blow my horn the horn didn't blow. At the 1.5 year mark the battery went dead with a bad cell and the paint quality on this thing looks like Billy Bob painted it with a paint can from Ollies Discount.
The washer pump was never hooked up from the factory - self diagnosed and repaired.
The horn, a dual tone design, was dead on arrival - self diagnosed and self replaced.
The battery was the cheapest junk they could buy to last the 12 month warranty. It lasted 1.5 years and was self replaced.
The fan clutch bearing died at the 2 year mark allowing the cooling fan to flop around. The noise triggered an investigation which allowed me to catch it before it caused any damage.
The transmission is by far the worst shifting manual gearbox I have ever owned... and I used to own a Ford 8N tractor. That speaks volumes!!
The fuel economy of this worthless 2.5 liter rattle trap engine is only 22 MPG highway. It doesn't make enough power to get out of its own way and it is actually dangerous in certain situations.
These things are JUNK. The customer service is JUNK. Nissan ownership is like playing Roulette - you pick your color and take your chances.
NEVER EVER AGAIN will I spend my hard earned money on this garbage.
Parking brakes out of adjustment from the factory.
Shock attachment hardware left loose from the factory.
Obviously not a single speck of inspection done during the dealership PDI.
Encyclopedia volumes of excuses from everyone from the shop janitor to the corporate CEO about how these were one-off errors and yet the internet if full of stories just like mine.
So be advised if you dare trust the propaganda of Jalopnik and their sales tactics. All that glitters is not gold.
