BIZARRE Things I've Noticed With the 2022 Nissan Frontier

[@4-LOW]

I totally forgot to mention how the doors will all re-lock on you after 30 seconds unless you quickly get outside and open a door following an unlock using the fob. UGH.... that pisses me off. And we won't rehash the power steering that doesn't feel like power steering. The steering on this truck feels EXACTLY like my buddy's old 1987 Nissan Hardbody pickup that didn't have power steering.

About the washer fluid, I think it's great! If there is dry debris, like bird droppings or bugs, you might want to let it soften up before you run the rubber blade over it, this way it saves fluid and the blade.

[@masonhoward8487]

Good point there I find my self doing the same thing at the truck stop with my big truck putting washer fluid on it letting it sit for a few minutes then scrubbing them off a lot easier

in canada during winter having De-icer fluid and being able to let it sit on the windshield and have your frozen wipers not get damaged by trying to force themselves out of ice is a blessing i love this feature especially for dried stuck on stuff like youre saying

Washer fluid concern - Hold the lever longer & wipers will activate with the fluid spray.

[@Offshore1977]

I’m in Florida. When I use the washer on my 4Runner it automatically starts the wipers and I actually prefer it to allow me to spray the water to pre soak the bugs so it could be more effective. Enjoying your Frontier videos.

As a truck driver, the windshield washer op is a great idea....the fluid on the windshield is softening the bugs...just brilliant.

[@kennethking602]

I have a '23 ProX. It has a compass in the dash options. Plus the navigation screen shows your direction of travel. The manual shift mode works perfectly on mine. Shift as you accelerate, it's all good. Shift up to 6th gear and leave it there, it stays in 6th. I do think 9 speeds is overkill. Agree that the seats are a bit narrow. Do like the console better than the 2010 Pro4x I had. The bizarre thing I dislike is the steering wheel is offset about 2 inches to the left relative to the center of the seat. My 2010 was offset too but not as much. Anyways, good luck with your Frontier.

[@thebigempty_5792]

I thought the "manual shift mode" was really meant as a gear limiter. So, it means if you put it in 4, and come to a stop, it will shift as usual 1, 2, 3, and stop at 4. It may also be used as a form of engine braking I think. Keep in mind, this is not the same as the manual shift modes on sports cars/sedans. My Lexus GS350 had a + - mode and it was a genuine sport manual shift feature. Trucks are not fast machines so the application is different.

[@IvanLitus]

This truck gets pretty fast when you shift your own gears. Trust me ))

[@awzsdrcfgybhjimklp]

This is a well balanced and respectably designed truck. I think you bought the wrong truck. If I was going to complain about something I would say that the delay in the gas tank reading after you fill it up and the speakers going to static every few times I turn it on are the only weird things I noticed.

[@vincentsementilli6071]

You just have to pull the the headlights handle toward you into a neutral position, also just hold the wiper fluid a second or two longer and it will wipe, to make it shift you have to take your foot off the ignition. I have a 2022 frontier S

[@CC_Marauder]

Why would anyone's foot be on the "ignition"? The ignition being the start button on the dash.

My 2023, Pro 4X, has a very large and nice compus in the info screen between the speedometer and tach. Also, the map on the 9" entertainment center has an easy to read compus My experience with the windshield washer is that it is delayed. If you spray an extra ½ second, the blades activate. I really like this delay because you actually get fluid on the glass before the blades start. Also, my Frontier doesn't automatically lock the doors. Kind of wish it did And the seat belt chime does shut off after a little time. But also, I found a link that says it can be turned off. I'll update if it works.

[@SA-hk8xj]

I think any vehicle made today has it’s pros and cons. While some of the features you described are not a big deal, if you get enough of those “little” things, you start to question what other vehicles have. I personally like the 22 Frontier over the others(GM twins, Ranger, Taco, and Gladiator). Their is a balance or trade of if you will from the others. Frontier ain’t perfect, but I still think it’s a good value and some of those little features I could easily add myself or live with without regret 👍 IMHO Looking forward to your “pros” video about the truck. Looking good 👍 Edit: if you hold the washer stalk a bit longer when you spray, it WILL wipe as well. My Honda did similar. Seat belt chime is usually a chime module that is in the fuse box area, easy to unplug the module/chime maker 😉 Certain models do have the compass.

[@SemicrazyMagatrucker]

Chime goes off after one mile in my 2022. Never notice issue with seat and I'm 274 pounds and 6 foot tall seems wide enough.I do however have trouble getting in without hitting my head and armrest is very low. Lights??? Just forget about them being automatic, put them on low if you forget to low beam then it's a secondary safety measure that will do it for you if you forget. Just use them like you do in any other Truck.

The manual shift mode is similar to Ram where it’s more of a “maximum gear” selection it seems.

[@stog9821]

I know I’m dating myself, but I preferred the old floor buttons that controlled the high and low beams.

[@Jonnyvids14]

I actually like that about the washer fluid. There are many times in the winter where I just want to spray fluid onto an icy windshield, and let it set for a bit, before I want the wipers to remove it. It helps in de-icing the windshield. Otherwise you end up wasting far more fluid. So this can be a good thing in certain situations. Gives one more control over what they want.

[@alinatamashevich3354]

I have a few Nissan Frontier's in my fleet here in ATL. First off I will agree the lack of the telescoping wheel is a huge miss! The auto high beams work the same way in a few of my personal cars. If you want to intentionally blind oncoming traffic, yes you have to switch it to manual mode. As far as the washer, I find that feature works great when you fuel up , want to squeegee the windshield and yet all you have IS the squeegee, no water or cleaner mix in the bucket. Keep in mind this truck while "redesigned" is actually riding on the older frame. Nissan did this as they are low on cash and did not want to blank slate a new truck. Remember, the older trucks had the new drive train in them 3.8L vs 4.0L . As for lifting any truck, you are on your own. Automotive engineers have Masters degrees and years of experience in designing suspensions for ride AND safety. The people who build lifts kits? Questionable. Cheers-Alina

[@Ornelas11B]

How does the underneath look? I seen a brand new truck on the lot and the underneath was all rusty. All the bolts were rusted too. Those trucks won’t last long in Michigan winters. It was a pass for me.

[@1cjs4u]

I like activating the wipers manually that way I can let the fluid soak on the dirt and bugs before wiping

[@smsediting6985]

The windshield washer fluid function works perfect here in New England. The Frontier was my first pickup truck, and I spent a year researching which truck to buy. The Frontier met and exceeded all my expectations. I really found only one problem for me and that was the trailer hitch recess. The rear bumper interferes with my riser hitch. However, I can turn down the hitch and it works perfectly fine for my boat and trailer. I have only one trailer that sits a little low because I can't turn around the riser. I will buy another riser hitch and see if it works. The no compass doesn't bother me as I use my Iphone. I absolutely love the seats. I never thought about the High beam and the seat belt chime. I plan on keeping the stock suspension.

There's a reason why people buy these trucks 1. If you've owned any Nissan before then you're in the market for it 2.

[@kevinthomson6324]

I’ve owned a few Nissans over the years and I’m shocked to hear about the seatbelt chime, as all the models I’ve had didn’t even have one at all. Just the seatbelt light would come on but no noise. I’ve never seen a washer fluid spray without the wipers coming on in any of the vehicles I’ve owned. But I have to say it might be a good thing as you could let the soap soak and loosen the dirt or melt the ice/frost before the wipers come on. You would think there would be a compass on the navigation screen?

[@CC_Marauder]

Did he cheap out by NOT having the NAV system. Looks like it from here.

[@johnaultman6970]

I have the 2022 SV model and the seatbelt chime goes off automatically. It beeps 95 times and then goes silent. Takes about about 95 seconds, which seems like a long time. Maybe he just couldn’t wait that long.

[@rafaelvelez1253]

The sad thing about the issue he makes about the seatbelt chime is that no matter where he is at, be it his farm, private land, Indian reservation or a private commercial property the seat belt must be engaged before the vehicle is put in motion by law and most insurance will void any claims of injury for a passenger not properly secured by safety restraints. That is why most collectible antiques that register for road use must have compliant safety restraints installed and in use or they can not be driven period. This off-roader is a very uninformed vehicle operator. I hope he is a better off road driver than he is an informed influencer in you tube.

I have a 22 with whatever package that puts the garage door buttons on the mirror. It also has an on / off button that turns the auto high beam low beam option off. I noticed that yours doesn't have those buttons which is weird. My biggest issue is the adaptive cruise control. It drives me nuts when a car moves out of the way and the truck wants to floor it to get back up to speed! Another thing that bothers me is if you remote start the truck, get in it and touch the gear shifter with out hitting the start button the truck just shuts off.

The seats and the driving position on my 2016 SV 4X4 is perfect, the most comfortable of any vehicle I have ever owned.

On the driver seating room, the shiny plastic door trim protrudes out to a narrow edge. My knee goes right there. Additionally, the handle thing on the center console also is right where my knee goes. This makes the driver seating more narrow than it needs to be, and removes 2-3 inches of available space to spread your legs and rest your knees. Not a deal breaker, but they could have not added those trim pieces.

I own this truck and don’t have these issues and the few things that may not be perfect I don’t make a KZbin video about it complaining. Maybe if you could afford a more expensive truck it would meet all your desires, doubtful though.

[@i_own_adog]

You're being way too serious about this. This a very informative video and useful for people who may want to buy one. It's just fair criticism.

What is the little electronic screen to the left of your dash? A tuner?

[@soundslikesight7876]

I have a 2023 pro X and they change the washer thing at some point. When I hold it back, it works like every other vehicle spray spray, then wipe wipe

[@markstacy9708]

My wipers wipe automatically after spraying fluid. I can turn the automatic headlight dimming feature off by clicking the know past the auto setting, all the way to the on setting.

[@johntexan4165]

No door lighting. At night, the interior lights are so directional, you can't see anything in the lower half of the cabin (can't even see the column options). Also, there isn't a light under the hood. Why, with how cheap the LED lighting is now, don't they have these as basic options?

I thought my pro4x had a compass, coulda sworn it did, but I guess it doesn’t.? Will update if it does now I want to check. Aside from that I agree. Most complaints seem nitpicky but honestly so are mine. Slow passenger window being the main (6-10 seconds for all windows, 30-40 for passenger). Aside from that trucks amazing, offroad it all the time and can walk through a foot of snow no problem if you generally know how to drive in snow, or if you have the “just turn off traction control and gas it in 4wd” mentality. Amazing truck. Seats never bothered me though, first time I’ve heard this complaint from a frontier owner, I’m 6’2 240 an the seat is hella comfy to me, I’m also 32k miles in and drive the truck a lot so no wonder I love it. Just wish the rear window was power, kind of annoying if I want to open it or close it I have to get into the back seat 3:14 This genuinely made me upset. I use rain X washer fluid so letting it sit for a sec after I wash the truck helps it stick a little better. Your issue coulda also been solved if you hold the stick back another half a second, you’d see the wipers will swipe. Shocker.

[@static_180]

Seems like 90% of his complaints coulda been fixed by him getting a full size truck, not a compact truck. But that’s just me

[@jonholt9087]

I have a 2022 Frontier Pro 4x. The wipers do work when I just flip the washer switch to spray. Also I do have a compass. It is on the driver's display as an option for drivers assistance.

[@GettinItSince0684]

Just today my 2022 Frontier has been getting stuck in park? Any suggestions on how to fix this? It’s under warranty but this is frustrating me so much

[@fasfan22]

Can you send a link for the seat belt extender you used to over ride the chime? There are so many on Amazon. Want to make sure I get the right one.

[@braddyboy82]

Bro, you're nitpicking the shit out of this thing, and only after 1248 miles. I have 13k miles on mine and I've put this thing through the paces for sure. I think most of your complaints are personal preferences. Lack of a compass? How often do you use a compass (especially when you have Android Auto or Apple Carplay)?? With that said, I am not a fanboy and I do have on bizarre quirk I've noticed (not a complaint but just something unusual): it tells you your average MPH under the speedometer -- not sure how useful that would be. Other than that, damn happy with this truck. With that said, love your videos and thanks to you I have the oil pan skid plate installed. Appreciate that video that you did.

[@ElwoodPDowd-nz2si]

What i find odd is the lights on the door buttons all turn off when you open the door, except the mirror toggle.

[@maldo72]

I have a 2022 and I think your are nit-picking... Your right about the steering wheel but all the other items can be fixed. I got mine without a trailer hitch and install my own... zero problems..

[@maskuladongparagpagan4883]

I don’t see any comments about the sterring clearance,cause my frontier 22 has a very small steering clearnce any comment if you guys experience the same thing.

[@adventure_arsenal]

I don't have the issue you mentioned about manual shifting. I use mine off road and it stays in the gear I shift to even if the rpm's get up there past where it would normally shift. The wipers hold the spray down and it runs the blades. A few other things you mentioned seem like you got a truck without the options you wanted. Nissan is great about msking add on tech features. if you have the tech package the nav system is you compass. I do agree these need telescopinh steering wheel. there needs to be fender flair options too. Hopefully soon someone will make some aftermarket ones that don't require replacing the painted fender with a pro4x one. I did the 2.5 lift level kit kit didn't need camber bolts or upper control arm. Dealer said they are adjustable for a few degrees. Which was enough for this lift.

[@tbone1961-g1e]

What I don’t like about my frontier sv model 2022 the driver seat moves out of adjustment I have to adjust it every time I get in the truck annoying

[@ChrisGramm]

That seat belt chime turns itself off after you drive a minute or two while I'm 4 wheeling. Have you noticed the driver's seat is reclined after it sits all night? I thought it was my imagination until I measured it...

[@cobyreid780]

I thought I was going crazy at first , but yes every morning it must be adjusted. I still don't know if it is from hitting the control lever getting out....

[@ChrisGramm]

@@cobyreid780 I finally parked the truck, got out and measured from the headrest to the top of the steering wheel. Sure enough, it moved on it's own when I measured it in the morning. Been debating taking it in to the dealer but.... Sometimes the little shit they do makes it worse.

[@gregoryhodge9452]

They have heard of the mystery seat reclining by itself.

[@jamesm568]

Me too! Had it fixed under warranty.

[@pointbreak8293]

Is it true these 3.8 Nissan engines have a timing chain driven water pump too? I was just wondering as that’s a big job for when the water pump bearing begins to fail…. Nice video of your truck 👍👍👍

[@johnschnedler1753]

That seat belt chime is why I love my 18 frontier. The warning light stays on, but no chime!

[@trackmaster300zTT]

I think some things were incorrect. The windshield wipers will start to clean the fluid off if you hold the lever back for literally 1 second. The headlight auto brights are easily turned off by pulling back on it. The security light settings can be turned from off to 30 seconds to like 2 minutes I think. The compass feature for a S or SV would have been nice though lol. Guess I’ll have to search the sky for the sun or constellation. Also the auto lock feature on the doors can be adjusted or turned off also.

[@270eman]

I have the 2017 frontier sv 4x4 and there is no seat belt chime at all. If the belt isn't clicked there will just be a seatbelt light on the dash. The wipers also activate when you use the washer fluid. The doors don't auto lock on me ever. Of course there is no automatic headlights or auto brights features

[@cb655]

My 22 frontier activates the wipers when you spray the washer fluid.

[@DJ-nh5lh]

Same

[@tombley8731]

He's not holding the washer fluid down long enough for it to activate the wipers to come on. He is spraying for about a second at a time. That is not going to activate the auto wiper function.

[@ramoncarter6585]

Have one in my 2015 Rogue SL.

[@tylerchapman5239]

My 2022 Frontier has a dash screen compass. It also actuates the wipers when I press wash on the windshield.

[@Mark-op7zt]

I bought the Pro4X last July and traded in my 2019 Ranger FX4. The Nissan is a lot nicer in my opinion. I like the engine on the Nissan better than the turbo 4cyl. The interior is much nicer also. I've noticed many of the things you're talking about, but 2 of my gripes are there are no electric folding mirrors and the rearview mirror doesn't auto dim. Even my Ranger had the folding mirrors on a lower trim level. I really like the LED headlights on the Nissan. The halogen lights on the Ranger were awful even with the brightest halogen bulbs I could find. I also couldn't see many of the dash buttons at night in the Ranger with the brightness turned all the way up. Btw, the Pro4X does have a compass in the gauge cluster menu. I'm not sure why something like that would only be on the higher trims. I can't imagine it cost much if anything. I'm wondering if the most expensive package has the power folding mirrors. Overall I'm very happy and I got a great trade for the Ford.

[@willywil5691]

Only the 2022 and up frontiers don’t when the compass and many other things. This is why I bought a 2018 pro4x instead of the new ones. Too many things changed and I just don’t know if the new ones (2022,23,24,25+) are gonna be reliable like the old ones or not

[@bishfire]

High beam Off/on in Nissans is "Pull the lever back and forth ." And washer fluid auto wiper kicks off when you keep holding the lever for few seconds. If you use it intermittent, wiper won't work until you do it manually.

[@orlandoduran7740]

FYI the 13th gen f150s also do not have alignment bolts, they say the frames are so perfect that theres no need to adjust camber
