POWER TRAIN
THE RADIATOR HAD FAILED AND ALLOWED RADIATOR FLUID TO MIX WITH TRANSMISSION FLUID. THIS RUINED THE TRANSMISSION WHICH WILL COST THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. WE ALWAYS TOOK CARE OF OUR SUV SO WE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BE DEALING WITH THESE PROBLEMS. WE CURRENTLY CANNOT AFFORD THE REPAIRS SO WE WILL HAVE AN SUV PARKED AND THAT WE CANNOT DRIVE. WE HAD TO PULL OVER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY DUE TO THE VEHICLE'S EXTREMELY HOT TEMPERATURE.

I TOOK MY XTERRA IN BECAUSE IT CONSTANTLY BLEW HOT AIR. UPON INSPECTION I WAS INFORMED OF THE TSB ISSUED BY NISSAN THAT THE RADIATOR TUBES CAN CRACK AND MIX COOLANT WITH TRANSMISSION FLUID AND THAT I WAS LOW ON COOLANT BECAUSE OF THAT. THE TECH INFORMED ME THAT THE LEAK WAS MINIMAL BUT NEEDED TO BE REPLACES ASAP. THE RADIATOR WAS REPLACED AND LINES FLUSHED AND ALSO HAD TO TAKE MY CAR INTO A TRANS EXPERT TO FLUSH AND INSPECT THE TRANSMISSION

POWER TRAIN
I BOUGHT A USED 2006 XTERRA AND I HAD NO IDEA THAT THE TRANSMISSION COOLERS FAIL PREMATURELY. ALL SEEMED OK FOR 2 WEEKS. ONE DAY DRIVING BACK FROM DROPPING MY 2 DAUGHTERS OFF AT THEIR MOTHERS HOUSE, I WAS ON AN INCLINE, IN A BLIND CURVE, AND THE VEHICLE STOPPED PULLING COMPLETELY. WHILE STOPPED I TRIED TO CHECK THE TRANS FLUID AND WAS ALMOST RAN OVER BY A TRACTOR AND TRAILER BECAUSE HE COULDNT SEE THROUGH THE CURVE TO KNOW I WAS BROKE DOWN IN THE ROAD. THEN 10 MINUTES OR SO GOES BY AND A MINIVAN COMES AROUND THE CURVE AND HAD TO LOCK HIS BRAKES UP TO KEEP FROM RUNNING INTO ME. I WAS ALMOST HIT 2 TIMES IN A MATTER OF 20 - 30 MINUTES WAITING FOR HELP TO ARRIVE.

SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING
MY DAUGHTER HAD JUST PURCHASED A 2005 NISSAN XTERRA, THE DAY BEFORE HER ACCIDENT. SHE WAS TRAVELING ON A ROADWAY APPROACHING A CURVE IN THE ROAD WHEN THE FRONT RIGHT TIRE LOCKED UP CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO PULL SLIGHTLY RIGHT AND FAIL TO RESPOND TO COUNTER STEER. THE VEHICLE LEFT THE ROADWAY AND WENT INTO THE GRASS BEGAN TO SPIN SIDEWAYS AND STRUCK A HYDRANT AND FLIP 2.5 TIMES RESTING ON ITS ROOF. I SAW WHERE THERE WAS SEVERAL RECALLS, BUT WHEN I ENTER THE VIN ITS HAD NO OPEN RECALLS ON THE SPECIFIC VIN. ALTHOUGH, THIS SAME EXACT PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED IN THE SAME MODELS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
UPON FILLING UP THE FUEL TANK, THE FUEL INDICATOR READS EMPTY. AFTER 30-40 MILES OF DRIVING, THE FUEL INDICATOR RETURNS TO NORMAL. AT ROUGHLY 1/4 TANK REMAINING ON THE INDICATOR, THE VEHICLE TOOK 14.7 GALLONS OF GAS, WHICH MEANS IT WAS NEARLY EMPTY. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM THAT NISSAN CLAIMS DOES NOT AFFECT THIS VEHICLE, AS IDENTIFIED BY THE VIN REPORTED ABOVE. CLEARLY THIS IS THE ISSUE ADDRESSED BY CAMPAINGN ID PC 042/NHTSA # 10V-075. NISSAN DENIES THIS.
