Description of the problem	The 2 complaints i have regarding my frontier have been recalled for the same yr that my frontier is, but i didn't receive a recall notice for either one. First is the fuel pump sending unit, which shows you how much gas you have in the vehicle. My fuel gauge will show that i have no gas even after i fill up my tank, but then i can park for a few minutes & then the gauge will show that i have a full tank of gas. I ran a diagnostic test, & the results displayed a code that meant it needed a new sending unit. However, with this particular model, i cannot just get the sending unit, because it only comes in one whole piece, meaning that the mechanics will have to empty the gas tank & drop the tank, which is much more work. Therefore, this repair will cost me $900. 00. The second complaint & the most outrageous & disappointing one is regarding my transmission & radiator. Recently i took my frontier into the shop to habe the transmission fluid checked & changed if it needed to be. However, the mechanic called & informed that after hooking my truck up to a transmission tester, the results indicated that i had pressure problems due to the radiator coolant leaking into the transmission fluid, & causing a chemical reaction that will destroy the clutches inside the automatic transmission. Keep in mind that i only have 80,000 miles on my 2006 frontier, & needing a new transmission already with this low mileage is absolutely ridiculous & uncalled for. Especially since nissan has done a recall for the same yr & model of my truck, & for the exact thing that my faulty radiator was doing. For some unknown reason, my radiator model was not on the recall list for either one of the recalls & it should've been, because there are hundreds of consumers that have had the same problem that i have had, & that's with both of my complaints. So i just spent $4,000. 00 for a rebuilt transmission.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
