mine has been quite quite reliable.
after a near catastrophic front end smash even, the thing was still solid.
though i have the 00 frontier not the 05.
103000 miles and this is her first teardown for maintenance, other than brakes.

as far as brake squealing goes.
any car will squeal a little.
but, one thing i do when changing pads/rotors is i "heat-cycle" the pads.
i dont remember the exact way to do it, since i only have to do this like 2x per vehicle.
but with "heat cycling" what you do is a certain braking technique to get the pads to MATE to the rotors.
look it up, dont take these words exactly.
you do something like: with brand new pads. get out
on a local street, get up to 15mph, brake moderately hard to a complete
stop. immediately get up to 20-25mph and do the same....do
this 3 or 4 times. get them good and hot and stop kinda
hard. you dont want to overheat them but u wanna get them hot and
stop the car hard a few times.
then park it. let it sit a couple hours. should be golden.
but look this technique up!!! i dont remember how its done.
