Wife shut off her 2016 Frontier to go into grocery store on a rainy night .. Came out and truck wouldn't turn over but clicked . Tested battery 12.6 volts with very little voltage drop when turned over . Truck had lots of voltage and I could feel starter trying but to no avail so brushes or armature was causing no start . Had it flatbeded to dealer in Peterborough 120 kilometers away . After weather changed next morning vehicle started several times and is now sitting 120 kilos away for us to pick up at dealers . Nissan only covers 100kilometers under standard warranty and cost is $3 /kilometer after that . No rental car to use unless you buy extended warranty . Beware when purchasing Nissan products .
Update from Sep 30, 2017: The Nissan Frontier in question would not start again at 11 Pm about 2 months later . Again we called and it was put on flat bed and taken to to Bellville Nissan at a cost of $30 for extra millage as it was 10 kilometers further than Peterborough . We purchased vehicle in Bellville . The next morning when we contacted dealer we were told that the starter was no good and a new one was ordered . Nissan will not return vehicle so you have to drive the 120 kilos to get your vehicle back , . Got out and since bringing home the truck has been fine . If they had of only did the replacement the first time when asked it would of solved the problem . I have been a marine mechanic for over 35 years and can tell a bad starter when you see one and have probably repaired and replaced at least 10 times more than the on duty mechanic had . Lesson learnt is to buy local and make sure warranty is good not dependant on buying extended warranty to get a loaner . Nissan warranty is one of the worst .
