What owners wrote
While driving down the road at 40MPH my frontier suddenly cut off , had no brakes or power steering. I went off the road and hit some trees. My insurance fixed my truck, even after I told them and the body shop I wanted it checked out first. I took it to the dealership and was told there was a recall with a defective ECM relay. They also informed me my radiator and transmission had a problem with the coolant leaking into the transmission.
