SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
THERE WERE NO INDICATORS OR EVENTS TO LEAD UP TO A CATASTROPHIC BRAKE FAILURE IN MY 2004 NISSAN XTERRA. VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW FROM DEALER, HAS ONLY 55,000 MI OF USAGE, FOR LOCAL DRIVING/ROUND TRIP TO WORK. BRAKE LINE CRACKED, FLUID LEAKED WHICH WAS AN EXTREMELY UNUSUAL OCCURRENCE. I DO NOT DRIVE ON LUNAR LANDSCAPE, I.E. POT HOLES, CAMPING, OR RECKLESSLY. THIS WAS SUDDEN. DEALER ORDERED PART, MECHANIC REPLACED PART, ENTIRE BRAKE LINE COULD NOT WITHSTAND PRESSURE AND MORE LEAKAGE ENSUED. DEALER WANTED TO 'SEAL" THE LEAK, NOT REPLACE PART, WHICH OF COURSE I FEEL IS AN INADEQUATE REPAIR. 2004 REPLACEMENT PART WERE NOT AVAILABLE AT TIME OF THIS WRITING. CAR WAS INSPECTED APPROXIMATELY 2 WEEKS AGO AND PASSED INSPECTION. AS OF THIS WRITING VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. I BELIEVE THIS IS A DEFECTIVE PART AND DEALER IS NOT FORTHCOMING CONCERNING BREAKAGE OF BRAKELINE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
1. (THE EVENTS LEADING UP TO THE FAILURE)-I WENT TO THE GAS STATION TO FILL UP BECAUSE MY 2005 NISSAN XTERRA WAS LESS THAN 1/4 TANK FULL. I FILLED IT UP ALL THE WAY AND DROVE OFF. I LOOKED AT THE GAS GAUGE AND IT STILL READ UNDER 1/4 TANK. SOON AFTER THE SES (SERVICE ENGINE SOON) LIGHT CAME ON. 2. (THE FAILURE, HOW OFTEN IT OCCURS, ITS CONSEQUENCES)- I LOOKED UP ONLINE WHAT THE POSSIBLE ISSUE COULD BE. IN SEARCHING OVER SEVERAL FORUMS, AND OVER 100 COMPLAINTS, I FOUND THE ISSUE TO BE ERROR CODE: P0463 (FUEL LEVEL SENSOR). IT OCCURS EVERYDAY. THE CONSEQUENCES, I NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN MY TANK. AS A MATTER OF FACT. I RAN OUT OF GAS SUDDENLY IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE. I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH SOMEONE HELPED ME GET FUEL. THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE. 3. (WHAT WAS DONE TO CORRECT THE FAILURE) I HAVE DONE NOTHING SO FAR, BECAUSE IT IS SUCH A COMMON ISSUE, THAT IT SHOULD BE RECALLED. IT IS ROUGHLY A $600 REPAIR ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED BY NISSAN. I ONLY HAVE 51,513 MILES ON MY 2005 NISSAN XTERRA. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN XTERRA THAT HAS A FUEL SENSOR PROBLEM. WHEN I WENT TO FILL UP MY TANK WITH GAS LAST TIME, MY GAS GAUGE WON'T GO ABOVE A 1/4 TANK AND THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT COMES ON. MY VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS 39,000 MILES ON IT. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THIS IS HAPPENING TO MANY OTHER OWNERS OF THE NISSAN XTERRA'S AND PATHFINDER. *TR

THIS AFTERNOON AROUND 4:30 PM, I RECEIVED A CALL FROM MY CAMPUS SECURITY AT WORK. APPARENTLY, SOMEONE HAD WALKED PAST MY CAR IN THE PARKING LOT AND NOTICED THAT THE BACK REAR WINDOW HAD SHATTERED AND BLEW OUT. WHEN I WENT TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED, THE SECURITY OFFICER TOLD ME THAT THERE WERE NO SIGNS OF FORCE BY A PERSON, BUT IT SEEMED THAT THE GLASS HAD BLOWN OUT FROM THE INSIDE. WE TOOK NUMEROUS PICTURES, AND THE OFFICER ALSO MENTIONED THAT IT HAD HAPPENED TO A HANDFUL OF OTHER CARS THIS YEAR ALONE, INCLUDING OTHER NISSANS. HE SPECULATED THAT IT WAS DUE TO THE TEMPERATURE CHANGE. EARLIER IN THE MORNING, THE CAR WAS FROSTED OVER WHEN I DROVE TO WORK. BY AFTERNOON, IT WAS WARM ENOUGH WITHOUT A JACKET. NO ONE WAS INJURED IN THIS SITUATION. OUR WORK CAMPUS IS ALSO FENCED WITH SECURE ENTRY AT ALL TIMES. AFTERWARDS, WE CLEANED UP THE GLASS SO THAT IT WOULD NOT SHATTER ON THE ROAD WHILE I DROVE. TOMORROW, I WILL BE TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO FIND OUT IF THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED. *TR

I OWN A 2005 NISSAN XTERRA. I HAVE HAD A CODE THAT READS P0463 THAT HAS CAUSED MY SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT ON. THE FUEL LEVEL GAUGE IS MALFUNCTIONING AND IT IS MISREADING THE LEVEL OF FUEL THAT I ACTUALLY HAVE. HOW IS THIS NOT A RECALL ISSUE. INSTEAD I HAVE TO PAY 600 DOLLARS TO HELP PREVENT ME FROM RUNNING OUT OF FUEL ON THE HIGHWAY AND CREATING A DANGEROUS SITUATION. *TR

THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR ON MANY NEWER NISSAN TRUCKS IS GOING BAD RIGHT AFTER THE 36K WARRANTY EXPIRES AND COSTS THE OWNER AN AVERAGE OF 400 DOLLARS TO FIX. THIS ISSUE CAUSES THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT TO COME ON AND CONSEQUENTLY CANNOT PASS INSPECTION WITHOUT BEING FIXED. I'VE SEEN MANY MANY CASES OF THIS ONLINE ON BULLETIN BOARDS AND FORUMS, AND IT SEEMS TO ME THIS IS WIDESPREAD ENOUGH THAT IT SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR

AND NOW THE DEALERSHIP IS SAYING THAT IT WILL COST ME AROUND $400.00 FOR PARTS AND SERVICE. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I FOUND OUT THAT THIS PROBLEM WAS HAPPENING TO A LOT MORE PEOPLE OUT THERE. NO RECALL ON THE FUEL PUMP/ SENSOR UNIT? *TR

I HAVE SEARCHED AROUND AND IT SEEMS LIKE A LOT OF NISSAN MODELS HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND IF YOU TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP IT IS A 600.00 + DOLLAR REPAIR WHICH I DO NOT FEEL I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY DUE TO NISSANS ERROR. *TR

NORMAL OPERATION OF VEHICLE. THE FUEL LEVEL WAS MIS READING LEVEL OF FUEL, SOON AFTERWARDS AN ERROR CODE P0463 (FUEL LEVEL SENSOR MALFUNCTION) ON YOUR 2ND GEN X HAS OCCURRED. IT HAS BEEN CONSTANTLY READING THE ERROR. I CHECK THE FUSE BOX AND RESET THE CPU, BUT THE PROBLEM STILL REMAINS. COST TO REPLACE IS $600.00 WHICH I CAN NOT AFFORD. I AM WRITING THIS TO PRESSURE NISSAN TO RECALL AND REPLACE THIS PART. MY CAR HAS NOW 58K MILES ON THE ODOMETER. *TR

SUSPENSION:REAR
OWNER OF 2007 NISSAN XTERRA. REAR SUSPENSION BOTTOMS OUT WITH MINIMAL WEIGHT. NISSAN ADMITS THERE IS A PROBLEM BUT WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT." SOFT RIDE SUSPENSION" THEY CALL IT. WHEN CARRYING PASSENGERS OR TOWING AN RV, REAR SUSPENSION BOTTOMS OUT ON ROADS WITH SMALL BUMPS AND POTHOLES. WHEN VEHICLE "BOTTOMS OUT", ALL WEIGHT GOES ABRUPTLY ONTO TIRES, CAUSING DAMAGE TO TIRE TREAD AND SIDEWALL. *TR
