Used 2001 Nissan Frontier Consumer Reviews
The original air conditioner still blows cold
I got my regular cab Frontier XE brand new in 2001. The local NJ dealers refused to sell me the truck I wanted. (Not enough profit). I looked up AOL users who had Nissan and Smyrna, Tenn in their ID) I emailed about 10 workers and gave them my story. A few days later the dealer called me and he was grumpy "I got a truck here, take it or not." The truck had a lot of extras for $14,000 I paid. Over the last 24 years I've had 3 sets of tires, had 5 batteries, had the brakes done about 10 years ago. I retired at 55, so I don't drive much for the last 12 years. It has 136,000 and I never beat it and changed the oil without fail. And that truck starts and runs like new. All that and the truck averages 25mpg. One complaint is my dome light burned out. I still have the original head lights, the more I think about it, the more I love that truck. Garage kept for a well deserved vehicle!

Questionable Nissan Quality
After 51,000miles, my 2001 Frontier's AC would not blow cold air. i had it checked out at the dealer and the low end hose was leaking and was replaced,at my cost. After a few days, hot air was blowing again. Now, it's the evaporative cooler behind the dash that is leaking. This, I think, is a highly unexpected problem to occur on a car this new. I thought Nissans were very reliable, that is why I bought it, in the first place.
