FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER
CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. GAS LEVEL INCORRECT. PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW IN 2006. IN AUG 06, I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM. AFTER SEVERAL TRIES TO REPAIR, I STARTED THE LEMON LAW PROCESS. THEY WERE ABLE TO "FIX" IT ON THE 3RD AND FINAL REPAIR BUT NOW I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN. I AM TOLD BY THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP (HAMPTON IN FT. WALTON BEACH, FL) THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE IT REPAIRED (BETWEEN $400-$600). THEY HAVE THE PREVIOUS DOCUMENTATION FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AND ACCORDING TO THIS WEBSITE AND OTHERS, THERE IS CLEARLY A DEFECT WITH THE VEHICLE. *TR

I FILLED UP MY 2006 NISSAN XTERRA WITH GAS LAST NIGHT AND NOW THE GAS GAUGE ONLY GOES UP TO 3/4 TANK AND THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 24,000 MILES ON IT AND I HAVE READ THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH SEVERAL NISSAN MODELS DATING BACK SEVERAL YEARS. I PURCHASED MY NISSAN XTERRA FROM NILES IN KEY WEST FL AND HAVE HAD ZERO PROBLEMS WITH IT UNTIL NOW. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
THE BRAKES OF MY WIFE'S 2000 XTERRA FAILED DUE TO POOR ENGINEERING. FORTUNATELY IT HAPPEN WHEN MY WIFE WAS DRIVING AT LOW SPEED ON THE BACK ROAD WE LIVE ON. THE HARD LINE FROM THE MASTER CYLINDER TO THE FRONT BRAKE IS ROUTED PAST A MANIFOLD HEAT SHIELD. THE LINE IS INSTALLED SO IT RUBS ON THE HEAT SHIELD. THE HEAT SHIELD EVENTUALLY CUTS INTO THE LINE CAUSING IT TO FAIL. THE CAR IS AT A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP WHERE A NEW BRAKE LINE WILL BE INSTALLED. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
2005 XTERRA FUEL GAUGE FAILURE. GAUGE SHOWS EMPTY WHEN FULL AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. DEALER WANTS $550 TO FIX. THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT AND SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE SUBJECT OF RECALL. IF A WOMAN WAS ALONE LATE AT NIGHT AND THE GAS GAUGE SUDDENLY SHOWED EMPTY SHE WOULD BE FORCED TO STOP AT THE NEAREST STATION WHICH MAY NOT BE IN THE SAFEST AREA. I KNOW, BECAUSE I WORK NEAR AN AIRPORT IN A HIGH CRIME AREA. *TR

THE REAR OF MY '06 XTERRA BOTTOMS OUT VERY EASILY. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE DAY ONE. THE DEALER SAW THE PROBLEM AND REPLACED THE REAR SHOCKS, BUT THAT DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. IT APPEARS THAT THE LEAF SPRINGS ON THE TRUCK ARE WEAK (ACCORDING TO MANY ONLINE SOURCES). MY XTERRA IS NOW 3,000 MILES OUT OF WARRANTY. *TR

MY 2001 NISSAN XTERRA SHUTS OFF WHILE IN MOTION. ALSO, WILL NOT START AT TIMES. OVERALL, CAR HAS SHUT OFF OR NOT STARTED PROBABLY ABOUT 10 OR SO TIMES. ACCORDING TO NISSAN THE RECALL ON THIS PART WAS ALREADY FIXED BEFORE I OWNED THE CAR (I BOUGHT IT PREOWNED)....BUT OBVIOUSLY IT IS THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN THEREFORE THEY HAVE NOT CORRECTED THE PROBLEM AT ALL. HOWEVER, SINCE THEY REPAIRED IT ONCE THEY HAVE WASHED THEIR HANDS OF IT. *TR

I DRIVE A 2005 XTERRA OFF-ROAD - IT SEEMS AS IF MY FUEL LEVEL SENSOR IS ACTING UP - FROM WHAT I READ AT OTHER FORUMS, THIS IS A CONTINUOUS PROBLEM WITH XTERRA, PATHFINDERS, FRONTIERS. I WAS WANDERING IF NISSAN WILL HAVE A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FAULTY FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT ON A 2006 NISSAN XTERA.. FUEL GAUGE WILL INDICATE A LOW FUEL LEVEL, AND UPON FILLING WITH FUEL , GAUGE WILL REMAIN AT LOW LEVEL. AFTER A FEW MILES GAUGE WILL BEGIN TO MOVE UNTIL REACHING PROPER LEVEL AND THEN OPERATE CORRECTLY UNTIL NEXT REQUIRED FILL UP. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON TO INDICATE PROBLEM AND SERVICE PERSON SAYS SENDING UNIT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH XTERAS AND IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. IT SEEMS COMMON ENOUGH THAT THIS FAULTY PART IS A BAD DESIGN AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR

MY 2006 XTERRA FUEL GAUGE WILL NOT RISE WHEN I FILL THE TANK. AFTER DRIVING A FEW MILES AFTER THE FILL UP THE NEEDLE DROPS TO EMPTY AND FUEL LIGHT COMES ON. THEN THE NEXT TIME I START MY TRUCK THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON UNTIL MY FUEL TANK IS BELOW HALF FULL. *TR

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
I WAS TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH WHEN A VEHICLE PULLED OUT OF A BUSINESS PARKING LOT, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO YIELD, CAUSING ME TO COLLIDE WITH HER DRIVER DOOR. MY CONCERN IS THAT MY AIRBAG IN MY 2001 NISSAN XTERRA FAILED TO DEPLOY CAUSING ME TO HIT THE STEERING WHEEL WITH MY CHEST. I CONTACTED NISSAN AND THE RESULTS WERE THAT I FAILED TO PROPERLY DECELERATE; THIS WAS THE CAUSE FOR THE FAILURE. *TR
