I am not new to nissan but new to nissan trucks. I owned a new
spec-v sentra and xterra but I recently bought a used 07 frontier. I
had it for a week and its been at the dealer for a week getting
repairs done. Its all warranty covered so im not worried about but it
brings my morale about the truck down a bit..and I keep seeing more
and more posts about technical/problems and I start to worry did I
make the right choice by purchasing this truck? Im sure it'll all work
out and it'll be a great vehicle for me,but right now its got me down.

I wouldn't worry about it if i wanted to found out what being done to this truck i brought it used, they can look up on vin number to see what been done like i have this truck ! my truck has new motor it look like it the recall on engine when truck was new 2003 motor been replace on 2004 at 34,000 .the OD show 100,800 has of now.

I say my motor has round 60 to 80,000 miles on this motor i have now, they where 2 different owner on this truck first has small damaged on front end ,but nothing to worry about they replace front bumber and headlight that was all it wrong with beside a small leak inside i knew where it came from. !

The leak came from top of breaklight at top i fixed the leak myself and stop the leak for good

no more problem for me so far, the truck runs great ! so i say you did made right move on your 2007 truck i hope you be happy with your truck ! as i did with mine and she is my baby. the mod i have done to this truck was put in my kenwood 138 cd player they were nothing worng the one came with. i needed the aux for my ipod !

All makes of vehicles have problems. Most are driver/ matainace related. Next are manufacturing problems and most are fixed free of charge if not too old or high mileage. Between 8 and 20 percent all new cars and trucks will will have these problems. If you hang with other web sites of other makes you will feak out at the problems they are having.

I bought a new '99 Grand Cherokee 4x4 V-8. I loved to drive it but I sold it due to having repair problems.

When you buy a used vehicle it is always a gamble.. I bought my '99 Frontier new and have taken good care of it even though I've had it off road in the Rocky Mountains. It not had ANY problems of any kind. I trust it more than I would a brand new one!

Good luck.. Don S..

Yeah the frontier I bought was dealer certified and I got a carfax
with it. It only has 34k miles on it,one owner and well taken of inside
and out.. the first night I had it the fog lights cut off everytime I put
the right turn signal on and then I noticed a whining noise which
turned out to be the shoes/guides on the timing chain. All were
covered completely by the dealer along with a free loaner car while
its there. Its a week today that its been in the shop. Its just a crappy
way to start off my truck/frontier experience. I do like it very much
and can't wait to get it back and test out the 4wd
