2019 Nissan Frontier Problems And Complaints

2019 Nissan Frontier Crew Cab User Complaints and Problems

Mechanical Complaints

• Engine- The engine on the2019 Nissan Frontier shifts to limp-mode intermittently along with the dash displaying an engine malfunction light. The issue was traced to be with the throttle pedal position and throttle pedal position sensor voltage input correlation. Unplugging and re-plugging the connectors have been said to work for some users, but the issue does recur after a while.

• Transmission- Not an issue that one should be concerned about, but there are reported complaints of transmission jerks and clunking noises on a vehicle equipped with the 5-speed automatic unit as per the NHTSA.

Electric System complaints

• Infotainment- Buggy infotainment systems have been a common issue on the 2019 Nissan Frontier. The system reboots randomly and also intermittently drops phone connectivity, especially while using Bluetooth. This has been a pretty widespread issue since launch and the software update, which fixes this issue has been rolled out and is available for reflashing at registered dealers.

• HVAC- The cabin temperature sensor under the dashboard fails prematurely. This causes the vehicle equipped with automatic climate control to blow warm air at the occupants when the controls are set to auto. This is a known issue and could be easily fixed at the dealer by replacing the aforementioned sensor. The average mileage of failure is around 25,000-miles.

• Backup Camera- The backup camera does not turn on when the driver engages reverse. This has been a widespread issue on multiple Nissan vehicles manufactured under this model year. The automaker has initiated a recall (ID-19V654000) to update the backup camera settings on affected vehicles.

Should you buy a used Nissan Frontier Crew Cab?

The Nissan Frontier has been a consistent seller for the automaker for nearly a decade, managing a yearly average of 70,000 units since the introduction of its second generation in the 2009 model year. The Nissan Frontier was never an unreliable truck purse, but its laid dated styling and lack of tech might be some reasons that have kept it from getting all the limelight as its competitors. That said, the Frontier has been in the market for a long time that the actual complaint numbers have dropped to single digits, which is the lowest in the segment and the only recall it has is due to a minor software glitch, which too is common with many other Nissan models. So if you are looking for a mid-size pickup truck that’s both mature and reliable, this old Nissan gets a thumbs up from us.
