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.

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

[@Andi_Doci]

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

I like the blades not turning on when I spray the windshield... as well.

[@TherakosXV]

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

[@MGXsport]

My washer doesn’t operate this way. I hold it and it sprays and then the wipers go. Are you holding it long enough?

[@winny6673]

Personally I would like the ability to soak snow, ice, or dried mud on the windshield without the wipers automatically starting. If done on purpose, Nissan should mention that. I would be surprised they just forgot to program or design it not to. Then again, who knows.

It's operator error. Lol not Nissan programming.

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.

The washer fluid thing is awesome, that way you can let it sit on the windshield for a bit to soften up The bugs and shit that’s on the windshield then you wipe it off, brilliant idea

[@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.

[@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 ))

[@chester82gtstang]

The washer fluid you just have to pull back longer. I'm hoping you've discovered that already. Auto high beams are operated by pushing the turn signal stalk toward the dash and can be turned off by pulling toward you. I have a Pro 4x, not sure if these things are different with trim level.

[@matth1389]

[@Gonzo6389]

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

[@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.

[@chevyedwinhalevasquez2994]

I’m guessing he means gas pedal. Makes sense when you let the gas go it would adjust but idk if it’s to the gear you select

[@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.

[@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.

[@PresidentMcAwesomesauce]

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

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.

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

[@derrickwillie4449]

You can turn off the auto headlights by flicking the bright headlight twice. The 2023 has a compass

[@crisikingful]

Did you hold the window spray longer or only lite spray, cause I noticed on the fords if you don't hold it long enough it won't wipe or some never vehicles are like that as well have to hold it longer

[@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.

[@jbrooks8885]

I've got a honda with the auto lights, you have to hold back on the low and high beam stalk for a few seconds to turn off the auto dimming feature. Maybe this will help

[@scottmeadows4337]

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. I bought one of these because it does everything that I needed to do $10000 less than most of the competitors in the market ( Well equipped 4 X 4 ) On a side note if you're looking for perfection then brother you will never find it in any truck.

[@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.

[@charlessantiago4700]

Pull and hold windshield wiper all the way back and the wipers will activate with the sprayer. The auto high beams will deactivate if you put your lights in "on" instead of auto.

Unless you like the looks of the new one there isn't much difference. Mostly same underpinnings using the same F-Alpha chassis. Some of the higher tech is problematic. The adaptive cruise control is a joke. If the truck slows down a few MPH it will gun it and down shift 4 gears and revv up to 5500 rpms just to catch up a few MPH. LOTS of complaints with that one. Outside of the new motor and 9 speed the rest is a let down. And even that is a poor choice since they really didn't produce more low end torque. Nissan should have done allot more. Once you see the new Colorado and Ranger come out next year you will know what I mean. This truck is going to be dated in less then a years time.

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.

[@DonDowning]

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.

People over 6ft tall will suffer from the small seats, backrests, bolsters, seat height, steering position, etc. Nissan has the zero gravity, but the overall size is an issue. The Titan has larger seats, but still not 100% right for tall people. Also, I want power and lumbar for both driver and passenger as standard gear.

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

[@hairlesschimp479]

If you have the lights on auto, the highbeam assist will be on. If you turn your lights on manually and not to auto on, the high beam assist is off

[@orionlevi1864]

If you spray the washer fluid for over 5 seconds it automatically makes the windshield wipers work.

[@ChrisBussells]

The seats and the driving position on my 2016 SV 4X4 is perfect, the most comfortable of any vehicle I have ever owned. A friend bought a '16 Tacoma at the same time I got my Frontier, and he had to get a kit to raise the seat height because it was just too "carlike", according to him. All in all, I love everything about my truck.

[@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.

[@christianfranco479]

The wipers work just fine as long as the truck is on. I've never sprayed my windshield with the truck off.

[@JP-ec9rl]

That is strange because my wipers activate with the washer and the transmission does what I ask it to do while in manual mode. I think maybe there's something not programmed correctly on yours?

[@dannation8837]

Very informative video..Maybe they were thinking how can we make a really nice truck for less than 50k

[@DoItYourselfDoItRight]

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.

[@CraftwerksMC]

It's funny, my 2013 definitely activates the wipers when you spray the washer fluid and not sure why but my seatbelt chime never worked. I figure it was turned off by a transporter and they forgot to turn it back on.

[@claysmith2071]

So I have this truck, you may do well to read the manual. lets start from the top. on the window washer you have to keep the washer lever pulled back and after a couple of seconds the auto washer activates after its been spraying for 2 seconds. the automatic headlight dimming function turns off when you turn off the auto switch on the headlights to the "on" position, you just use them as a manual at that point and the compass is in the dash menu between the rpm and speedometer. you have the option to bring the compass to the front of the display as a function that is always on if you just scroll through it.

[@94DC]

Kind of seems like this fella has not had a modern vehicle. These "bizarre" features seem like normal modern-day things.

[@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.

[@nilsjohansson9739]

One annoyance in my 2021 XD is if the truck is in 4 dig, the cruise controle won't activate. It did on my 21 Nismo Frontier. It's not a deal. Reaker, but highway driving is kinda nice in the winter with 4 dig and cruise.

[@juanromero8998]

The fluid wiper windshield handle, you have to hold it back longer and the wipers will turn on while spraying.

[@Falinzin]

If you hit the map button on your infotainment display you'll get a big blue compass in the top left corner. Though I think that's only for the upgraded infotainment display w/ mapping...

[@bugoutaccessories260]

Wow I love my Pro 4X. I bet this guy would complain just about everything he drives. I owned a 1998, 2013, 2019, and now a 2022. This has been the best one yet.

[@ChaoticDave69]

By a mile

[@rialbb]

is this a canada truck? mine has none of those issues. the wipers, the compass, the auto high beams. Mine is the pro 4x. Although - coming from a 2014 Tundra - I still can't get used to the small size sitting in the seat. I'm a smaller guy too. Maybe 5'8'' 175 lbs. All the buttons on the left side of the steering wheel are terrible to try to access too.

[@MichaelMartin-rw5fi]

the previous model frontiers had no chime for no seat belt. you used to be able to just unplug a sensor under the seat for older vehicles to alleviate the chime. I can't connect Bluetooth to my wife's 4runner if it has been put into gear. lots of safety things for a sue-happy society.

[@mattteubner1660]

You have to hold the washer fluid Handel for more then 1 sec and it will engage the auto wipe feature of the truck. Hope that helps you.

[@dcruz125]

I just got a 2023 I haven't gone through it yet. As to the compass part you can plug your phone to use your GPS. I also will keep mines stock. Thanks

[@chaz2785]

The window wiper function works fine. You just have to pull it all the way back and hold it there for more than a second

[@n0xxm3rcyxx]

the steering wheel. you can hold it so it goes down and if you bring it down to fast and it hits its stopping point it will honk the horn. pretty neat.

[@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.

[@shannonreed7664]

My truck turns on the wipers when I spray the fluid? I have 22 pro 4x with all packages. To turn off auto brights just pull the brights back to off. They have to be pushed forward for the auto brights to work.

[@dragonblue5]

On my Lexus Truck I like that I can spray small amounts of washer fluid to let it set in before I trigger the wipers. Provides a better clean when you got bugs and muck

[@richardwillis6971]

The sad part is we don’t see all the weirdness and expensive replacement parts and service until a lengthy ownership experience.

[@oz64cobra01]

All of your dislikes or oddiities are Nissan specific. Ifyou completed a good review prior to purchasing you would have known all these things. Yes, Nissan knows owners will lift or lower their vehicles. Yes, for a new Nissan owner in the 2020's these things would be frustrating/odd. Get to know what you are buying before you buy, then find the oddities that are really odd. The new Frontier is a basic no frills Four Wheel Drive truck. Because it doesn't need all of that when it does everything it is expected to do as a 4WD. This type video goes back to your CAI you purchased. There is a manual for installation, which you download from their web site. Hindsight at this point, but it explains all of your issues you had. The biggest thing I wish the PRO-4X had from the factory would be an option to have a 3" lift for larger tires. But that is what aftermarket is for. Hence, why NISMO is working this. There is a 6" system available, however, it isn't for the PRO-4X.

[@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

[@tylerchapman5239]

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