“Diesel Fuel System Failure”
Written on: 15/05/2013
I bought a brand new unit in 2008. After clocking a little more than 100K kilometers the car often went into limp mode. Dealer said that it needs about US2+++ to fix it i.e. replacing the diesel pump, railing, injectors.....etc. The car looks great but very poor after sales support. I'm very surprised that despite so many complains especially about the vehicle "lost of power" posted in the internet...the people in nissan failed to successfully fix the problems. Also vibration is a major... (read more)

“No good in the snow”
Written on: 23/01/2013 by Chinovo (1 review written)
When I bought my Navara I was never told about the 40 km/hour limit when in 4x4. Yet you canot turn corners so what good is that! My 2.5l with full options has scared me a few times in light snow conditions but finally after an accident free life (now 42) it finally spun in heavy snow. I have owned many 4x4's and this one should be checked out for a default. It is dangerous and something should be done! (read more)

“Don't buy manual version if you plan to tow anything!”

Purchased a manual Navara D40 king cab as work vehicle to tow trailer weighing 2500Kg. BIG MISTAKE. Vehicle is way too highly geared for towing anything beyond a half empty box trailer! Need to slip the clutch whenever taking off, and have no hope of taking off on a hill with the loaded trailer. When I have taken vehicle back to dealer with trailer, Nissan mechanic told me to put in 4x4 if stopped on a hill. Waiting to see how long clutch does last. Vehicle is rated to 3 tonnes but I...

Clutches, divided mass flywheel, rear halfshafts, replacement wheels all done under warranty on a vehicle that is now just 3 years old and has done 60,000 miles. Stopped by VOSa with just 320 kilos in the buck, a Nissan spec toolbox with my usual small tools,a decent jack and with 3 up and we were overweight on the rear axle by 60 kg.

“Top of the range Nissan Navara Tekna is Rubbish”
Written on: 18/09/2011 by nickhart121174 (1 review written)
Lets start with the good stuff. The Navara Tekna flies, it is a superb motorway vehicle. But I did not purchase a Navara for performance or long drives. Instead I wanted something practical and there is no doubt that these trucks are spacious. So if you want lots of room and over 180 bhp in a truck then the Tekna ticks the boxes. The Tekna however is top of the range so for that no doubt you would expect chrome that does not rust? The chrome rusts. Leather that does not peel? My... (read more)

“steer clear of nissan navara”
Written on: 15/08/2011
My Navara is currently having its engine re-built after covering 70,000 miles. It has a full service history, but due to poor engine design and materials, the big-end shells have given way. Now requires new crank, bearings and con-rod.Build quality generally is poor. I really wish i had spent the extra £3000+ it is going to cost me to get it fixed, on a Toyota Hilux and ended up with a decent truck !!! Will never buy another Nissan. (read more)

Yes agree 100%. have always beleived Nissan to be cheap but reliable and good value for money. NOT any more...cheap and nasty would be more accurate. Poor support from Nissan main dealer. Vehicle is not cheap if you end up spending loads more money to keep the rubbish vehicle on the road. Would not even recommend to my worst enemy to buy one....next vehicle will spend a little bit more to begin with and get a reliable motor and hopefully better main dealer support.

Have just seen your post from last year. Nissan is 2004 Deisel, not been flogged and serviced every 9,000 miles. The problem stems from design fault where the oil strainer pickup is poorly fixed to the block and relies on an O ring which often fails around the 70,000 miles mark. Have had engine re-built with an adaption from engine re-builder which sleeves the O ring and holds it in position. Poor design on Nissan's behalf which has cost me a lot of money. No help from main dealer because warranty expired before engine failed. Certainly will never buy another Nissan.....pile of excrement

Hi, I got my new Navara Navara Outlaw Auto at 2006. I had a great time with it but it came with extremely high cost. For 5 years and 96000 miles I've had replaced 13 half shafts, 1 axle, 1 turbo, 1 steering rack, 1 set of steering weel controls, 1 central locking component. I've never been in a garage before so many many times. Last time I was at Nissan (3 weeks ago) they told me if the Navara was not covered by the warranty only the half shafts would cost me about GBP12000, turbo about... (read more)

It can easily pull a load of logs as well as pulling a horse box full of logs, noisy on start but soon runs quietly when it warms up.Took the Navara to Austria on a skiing trip at the end of January it ran very smoothly, although fuel economy not great.

Hi Unfortunately would not agree with you. We have a new Navara STX Dual Cab (brought Oct 2010) and at purchase replaced the style side tray with a drop side (dealer organised) upon driving away with the vehicle our first trip was camping whilst towing boat. The Suspension on the vehicle could not handle the tow & load under 500kg and proceeded to bottom out on every driveway and speed bump however Nissan's response was 'sorry' can't help...maybe you should replace the suspension!!! You've got to be kiddin' me. If the vehicle is advertised as a 'tradesman's' ute then it should be able to handle a 'tradesmans' load!!!!!!! And to top it all off...the leather on the steering wheel is now falling apart!!! Would strongly advise against buying this vehicle!

Written on: 01/09/2010
This is hard reveiw to write, my Nissan Navara D22 has been a great work vechile and perfect day to day car. The reliability has been great. I heard on watchdog the d22 has a fault were the engine dies while doing motorway driving. This has happened to me, at 83,000 miles on the clock after being serviced every 10k miles. The cam rod went in to the block and stopped the engine forever. I took it to my local garage where they said that it was a 'common' fault in the d22 where a copper cover... (read more)

Dear readers,
The Navara D40 looks beautiful and you might think Nissan is great, but this is not the case. The Navara D40 is the first Nissan with CRDI engine, really bad, they are still trying to develop the technology. The result is bad clutch, erratic fuel mileage, lots of black smoke. Nissan tech support has been unable to fix anything. Do not buy this vehicle you will regret it, I am trying to get rid of it, the worst new truck i have ever bought.
Cheers!

So why are you writing a comment below a D22 model, which is completly different chassis, shape and engine!
<br/>
<br/>As it stands i have had nothing worng with the 96,000 miles on my Navara D40. 40+ MPG, keep it serviced and look after it. Start throwing nearly 3 tons of pickup round like a Vauxhall Cavalier and of course it's going to break.
<br/>
<br/>Highly recommend all shapes and models of Navara's, superb vehicles and very very reliable.

I bought my navara from new and it was going well until 8000 miles when it started juddering on clutch bite point, it was took back to the main dealer where they comfirmed that the clutch needed replacing and following a heated discussion it was replaced under warranty. The vehicle was serviced at the garage i was working at with dealer parts due to extortionate dealer service prices. If you call it "lucky" 2 weeks prior to the warranty expiring the engine went @ 62000 miles- I can't fault... (read more)

Written on: 24/05/2010 by jenny South (1 review written)
I purchased my Nissan Navara Double Cab Pick-Up 2.5Di on the 26th November 2004 for the total price of £19,899.64. I am a freelance motorsport photographer and the reason I purchased a Navara was for the work that I do which takes me to some strange locations and because it was sold to me on the basis that it would be "tough and outperform any other 4X4's or estate car".
After about 18 months problems started arising with my vehicle. Firstly it started of with a light tapping noise from...

l live in johanneburg south Africa,l drive a navara 2007 d40.pliz do not buy this car.the turbo and cluch will give you problems till you sell the car.Rather opt for toyota hilux 3.0 d4d.this is an advise you can take it or leave it.nissan urgents are the rudest in the world.
