I NOTICED MY COOLANT LEVEL WAS LOW, BUT NO LEAKS. I TOOK IT IN AND HAD IT CHECKED. THE MAN PUT A NEW CAP ON THE RADIATOR, SAID HE PRESSURE TESTED IT AND COULD FIND NO LEAKS. A FEW DAYS LATER, ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK, IT BARELY MADE IT HOME. AFTER I PARKED I TRIED TO START IT AND IT WOULDN'T. MY HUSBAND RESEARCHED IT AND READ ABOUT RADIATOR COOLANT IN THE TRANSMISSION AND SURE ENOUGH THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED.THE REPAIRS COME OUT TO BE MORE THAN THE VEHICLE IS WORTH. I FEEL SO RIPPED OFF. THAT WAS THE FIRST EXPENSIVE VEHICLE I'D EVER PURCHASED. I ONLY HAD IT FOR 3 YEARS AND HAD JUST PAID OFF THE $18,000. NOW I HAVE NOTHING. COMPLETE DEVASTATION SINCE I LIVE PAYCHECK TO PAYCHECK. I FEEL LIKE I JUST TOSSED THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS OUT THE WINDOW. MY NISSAN HAS 119,000 MILES. I ALWAYS MAINTAINED IT AND THOUGHT IT WOULD LAST AT LEAST 100,000 MORE.

SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON THE VEHICLE. TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC. MECHANIC SAID IT WAS THROWING TRANSMISSION CODES SUGGESTED TAKE IT TO DEALER TOWED CAR TO NISSAN DEALER. THEY TOLD ME THE RADIATOR COOLENT HAD LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION PROCEEDED TO QUOTE ME A PRICE OF 6042.00 FOR NEW TRANSMISSION, RADIATOR AND COOLANT. WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND IS IF THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT WHY DOESN'T NISSAN MAKE THIS RIGHT? I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE USED IN JANUARY FROM A DEALERSHIP IT IS NOW OCTOBER AND I HAVE A VEHICLE THAT REPAIRS ARE GOING TO COST ALMOST AS MUCH AS I PAID FOR CAR. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THEN WHAM MY VEHICLE IS RUINED BECAUSE OF PURE GREED. WHY CAN'T SOMEONE CARE ABOUT HARD WORKING PEOPLE AND MAKE COMPANIES WHO PRODUCE DEFECTIVE STUFF BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE?

AIR BAGS
I'M FILING A COMPLAINT BEFORE I HAVE AN INCIDENT. I OWN A NISSAN XTERRA. MANY OTHER NISSAN XTERRA OWNERS HAVE HAD SPONTANEOUS SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT WHEN TRAVELING VERY SLOWLY, GENERALLY ON DIRT ROADS. SOME OF THESE DEPLOYMENTS HAVE CAUSED INJURIES. THE PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE COMMON ON ALL 2ND GENERATION NISSAN XTERRAS (2006-2016). THE FOLLOWING LINKS ARE TO XTERRA FORUM THREADS AND PROFESSIONAL PUBLICATIONS ABOUT RANDOM AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT IN XTERRAS. THERE ARE MANY MORE DOCUMENTED CASES OF THIS ONLINE, THE LINKS BELOW ARE A TASTE. THIS ALSO MAY BE A PROBLEM WITH NISSAN FRONTIERS, WHICH ARE BASICALLY THE TRUCK VARIANT OF THE XTERRA. BASED ON ABOVE TEXT, NO INCIDENT/CRASH OCCURRED...NO INJURIES.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
NISSAN XTERRA 2007 FUEL TANK QUANTITY SENSOR IS MISREADING QUANTITY OF FUEL IN TANK CAUSING THE QUANTITY TO SHOW EMPTY WHEN FULL AND SHOWING 1/2 FULL WHEN EMPTY. THIS CAUSE "CHECK ENGINE LIGHT" TO ILLUMINATE, WHICH CAUSES IMMEDIATE FAILURE AT VEHICLE INSPECTION SITE. THAT IN TURN CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO NOT BE REGISTRATABLE.

VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT ON BUSY RD. COOLANT LEAKED ONTO TRANSMISSION PER NISSAN DEALER. NISSAN HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THIS COULD HAVE A BAD SAFETY ISSUE AS I HAD TO TRY TO GET VEHICLE TO DEALER. I TRANSPORT A HANDICAPPED CHIP AD WELL AD ALZHEIMER/DEMENTIA CLIENTS AND THIS COULD HAVE BEEN LED TO A VERY BAD ACCIDENT. WHY HAD THERE NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THIS BEING NISSAN HAS KNOWN OF THIS PROBLEM?
