ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN XTERRA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED AN UNKNOWN MANUFACTURER RECALL NOTIFICATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BILL ROBERTSON NISSAN (928 N 28TH AVE, PASCO, WA 99301, (509) 545-3000) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS PROVIDED A RENTAL. THE CONTACT THEN RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE DEALER STATING THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REPAIR AND HE NEEDED TO RETURN THE RENTAL. TWO WEEKS LATER, WHILE DRIVING, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND THE RADIATOR OVERHEATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE REPAIRED AT A NISSAN DEALER RATHER THAN AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE CONTACT WAS PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 29163686. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 83,000.

POWER TRAIN
CAR WOULD NOT SWITCH GEARS. IT STAID IN 1ST OR 2ND AND RPM WENT TO RED AS I PULLED AWAY FROM MY PARKING SPOT. TRANSMISSION FAILURE AT 105,000 MILES. COST OF REPAIRS: $4,000.00. AFTER RESEARCH ON LINE, FOUND OUT NISSAN NEVER RECALLED THE VEHICLE BUT OFFERED EXTENDED CO-PAYMENT WARRANTY UP TO 100,000 MILES TO AVOID FIXING PROBLEM AS THE FAILURE USUALLY OCCURS AT AROUND 100,000 MILES AND ABOVE. MINE WAS AT 105K. THESE CARS NEEDED TO BE RECALLED AND NOW I'M PAYING $4,000.00 TO FIX A KNOWN DEFECT THAT NISSAN GOT AWAY WITH NOT TAKING FULL RESPONSIBILITY TO REPAIR.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I FILLED UP MY TANK AND YET MY FUEL GAUGE REMAINS AT BELOW 1/4. THIS HAPPENED OVER THE LAST 2 RECENT FILLED UPS THE LATEST BEING MADE YESTERDAY. ON THE FIRST OCCASION, I GOT STUCK ON THE ROAD. TODAY , I HAVE TO BRING A GALLON OF GAS WITH ME TO AVOID GETTING STUCK AGAIN. I CALLED MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID MY VIN# DOES NOT SHOW ANY RECALL AND WILL NOT COVER IT UNDER THE RECALL PROVISIONS. I SEARCHED EVERYWHERE AND FOUND A SIMILAR SITUTATION UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID#10V07500. I DON'T UNDERSTAND IT WHEN MY CAR APPARENTLY FALLS WITHIN THE YEAR OF THE RECALL BUT THE VIN# DOES NOT SHOW ANYTHING. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS RECALL IS VIN SPECIFIC . PLEASE HELP, VIN OR NO VIN , MY CAR IS MANIFESTING THE ACTUAL ISSUES OF THE PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED RECALL CAMPAIGN ON DEFECTIVE FUEL PUMP.

PURCHASED A ONE OWNER NISSAN IN LATE 2016 W/ APPROX. 85-86K MILES ON IT.GOT APPROX. 4-5 MTHS OF USE BEFORE IT COMPLETELY LOST POWER & BECAME INOPERABLE(APPROX FEB/MARCH OF 2017).MY WIFE & I WERE DRIVING HOME & BASICALLY LOST ALL POWER W/O ANY WARNING.THANK GOD WE WERE ON A SIDE ROAD @ THE TIME & WERE ABLE TO SAFELY PULL OVER.IT HAS BEEN PARKED SINCE EARLY 2017 & RENDERED USELESS.$9000 DOWN THE DRAIN.VEHICLE ONLY HAS 89K MILES ON IT & IN IMMACULATE SHAPE INSIDE&OUT.NOW WE'RE FACED WITH THE FINANCIAL BURDEN OF A $4000+ TRANSMISSION REBUILD + ECM/TCM MODULE REPLACEMENT. MY MECHANIC PICKED UP ON THE PROBLEM IMMEDIATELY.HE CHECKED THE RADIATOR & IT LOOKED LIKE STRAWBERRY MILK.I OWNED 1 OTHER NISSAN BEFORE THIS & CAN TRULY SAY I WILL NEVER,EVER OWN ANOTHER.I FELT VERY CONFIDENT IN THE VEHICLE MECHANICALLY. BUT IF I'D KNOWN ABOUT THIS DEFECT I'D HAVE NEVER PURCHASED IT.NOW I'M BASICALLY OUT $9000 OR HAVE A $4000+ REPAIR TO EVEN BE ABLE TO RECOUP ANY MONEY & SOME OF MY LOSSES.IF I HAD ANY INKLING OF INFORMATION ABOUT THIS DEFECTIVE PART IN NISSAN'S I'D HAVE NEVER PURCHASED IT.I ORIGINALLY CONSIDERED NISSAN A GOOD CAR MAKER & RANKED THEM CLOSELY W/ HONDA & TOYOTA IN PERFORMANCE & DEPENDABILITY.NEEDLESS TO SAY.ALL THAT'S NOW CHANGED.I CANNOT BELIEVE THE NHTSA DID NOT DEMAND THAT NISSAN PUBLICLY ANNOUNCE THESE ISSUES AS TO PROTECT THE CONSUMERS & CURRENT OWNERS. BUT I'D NEVER HEARD A THING ABOUT IT & I "WORK IN AUTOMOTIVE FINANCE"!!! I WILL ADMIT, NISSAN WAS SUCCESSFUL IN RIPPING MANY PEOPLE OFF & WITHOUT SO MUCH AS AN APOLOGY. MUCH LESS ANY POTENTIAL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE THAT THEY CAUSED.NISSAN NEEDS TO WAKE UP & DO RIGHT BY THEIR CUSTOMERS OR THEY WONT HAVE THEM LONG.TRUST ME WHEN I SAY.THAT DAY DRAWS CLOSER W/ EVERY PERSON WHO FINDS THEMSELVES IN THIS SIMILAR SITUATION.THANKS & I HOPE YOU DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS INJUSTICE THAT WAS ALLOWED TO HAPPEN ON YOUR WATCH!!!!!!

WE LEARNED TODAY THROUGH OUR MECHANIC THAT THE RATTLING NOISE WE'VE BEEN HEARING IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE "TIMING CHAINS." OUR MECHANIC SAYS THE REPAIR IS VERY EXPENSIVE. WE DISCOVERED ONLINE THERE WAS A RECENTLY SETTLED CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT ON THIS SAME ISSUE, BUT A RECALL BY NISSAN HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED. WHAT IS THE RECOURSE FOR OTHERS WHO ONLY RECENTLY LEARNED OF THIS PROBLEM AND ARE NOW FACING HIGH REPAIR COSTS?

TIMING CHAIN. I AM A MEMBER OF A FEW FORUMS FOR THE NISSAN XTERRA AND FRONTIER. IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE THAT THE TIMING CHAIN, THE TENSION AND GUIDES ARE A ISSUE ON THE 05/06 XTERRA AND FRONTIERS RUNNING THE 4.0 V6. A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT WAS FILED BY OWNERS OF THE SAME YEAR XTERRAS BUT IT ONLY RECOGNIZED IN A FEW STATES. PLEASE INVESTIGATE AND DEEM A RECALL BEFORE TOO MANY MORE XTERRAS BLOW THEIR ENGINES OR HAVE OTHER ISSUES DUE TO A KNOWN ISSUE, NISSAN HAS ADMITTED THEY KNOW OF THIS ISSUE TOO. BELOW IS THE LINK TO SAID CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT: HTTPS://TOPCLASSACTIONS.COM/LAWSUIT-SETTLEMENTS/LAWSUIT-NEWS/827701-NISSAN-AGREES-SETTLE-TIMING-CHAIN-DEFECT-CLASS-ACTION-LAWSUIT/

I'M HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS DUE TO THE KNOWN DESIGN FLAW IN THE 2008 XTERRA RADIATORS THAT CAUSES COOLANT TO MIX WITH TRANSMISSION FLUID. NISSAN ADMITTED THE FLAW AND YET THE NHTSA, WHO IS SUPPOSED TO HELP PROTECT US, HAS CONCLUDED THAT NISSAN ISN'T LIABLE FOR THESE PROBLEMS. WHAT PROTECTION DOES A CONSUMER HAVE BESIDES TRYING TO TAKE A MULTI-NATIONAL COMPANY TO COURT IF THE GOVERNMENT BODY WHO LOOKS INTO THIS WON'T ACT? PLEASE REVISIT THIS "RADIATOR INTERMIX" PROBLEM!
