The 2019 Nissan Frontier is a dependable truck overall, but there have been reported issues specifically related to the transmission. Some common transmission problems include issues with the valve body, failure to upshift or downshift, slipping transmission, poor acceleration, and more. A primary cause of these problems is the premature failure of the valve body, which stems from a cooling system design flaw and should be promptly addressed. It is not advisable to continue driving your vehicle if you notice any transmission issues since small problems can escalate and become costly to repair over time. Performing regular maintenance and simple tasks like checking or changing your transmission fluid can help prevent such issues.

    In 2019, issues with the transmission in Nissan Frontier trucks often involve gears slipping or difficulty shifting smoothly.

    I own a 2019 Frontier with the 4-cylinder engine. The transmission isn't shifting properly and there seems to be an issue with the overdrive function. Even though no error codes are displayed, two dealers have declined to address the problem, claiming, "No codes, everything's okay, sorry, can't help." This truck is a disappointment, so I would not recommend purchasing one.

    I recently purchased a 2019 Nissan Frontier two days ago, and now the O D light has turned on. I believe there is a warranty in place for it. They charged me an additional amount for this warranty, so I'm committed to it.

    The reverse stopped working and the truck can only be driven in neutral. I never had any issues with the truck shifting, although sometimes it would slip or act like it wanted to change gears abruptly. This truck has been completely trouble-free for me. I would give it a perfect 10 out of 10 rating and wouldn't recommend a Frontier to anyone.

    I owned a 2019 pro 4X with transmission problems that caused it to rev up to 5 to 6000 RPM before shifting. I decided to trade it in even though it was still fairly new because of these issues.

    I encountered a similar issue and continuously brought it back for repairs. After enduring four months of it being in the auto shop, they eventually installed a new transmission in my truck, which was covered under warranty. I drive a 2019 SV 4X4. It was extremely dangerous to drive, but I persisted in getting it fixed.
