Some Nissan Frontier owners report experiencing engine stalling when shifting to reverse after driving approximately 40 miles. This issue may be linked to electric shift control warnings, with the AT check light and engine light illuminating during the shift. Owners are advised to monitor dashboard warning lights closely and address any alerts promptly to prevent further stalling problems. Additionally, some owners find that electrical system issues, such as shorted wires, can contribute to the engine dying when changing gears. It is recommended that affected owners consult a qualified mechanic or dealership for a thorough inspection and diagnosis to ensure the vehicle operates safely and reliably.
