ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:MANIFOLD/HEADER/MUFFLER/TAIL PIPE
I HAVE ABOUT 70,000 MILES ON MY 2000 NISSAN XTERRA. I HAD TO REPLACE THE PASSENGER SIDE EXHAUST MANIFOLD AROUND 40K MILES DUE TO A CRACK. I AM NOW EXPERIENCING A CRACK OF THE DRIVER EXHAUST MANIFOLD. THIS PROBLEM HAS ME CONCERNED BECAUSE OF THE DEFECTS INVOLVED. I THINK THAT THE EXHAUST FUMES MAY ENTER THE PASSENGER AREA OF THE CAR THROUGH THE FIREWALL.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:MANIFOLD/HEADER/MUFFLER/TAIL PIPE
I WAS TRANSPORTING A MECHANIC TO A JOB SITE, WHEN THE MECHANIC NOTED A CRACKED EXHAUST MANIFOLD. AFTER TALKING WITH ANOTHER 2000 XTERRA OWNER, HE SITED THE SAME FAULT ON HIS VEHICLE. I DID RESEARCH AND FOUND THE FAULT IS WIDE SPREAD. I THEN TALKED WITH SEVERAL MECHANICS, AND THEY ALL AGREED THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD SHOULD NOT FAIL WITH THAT FREQUENCY AT THOSE MILES. AFTER FURTHER RESEARCH I FOUND THAT NISSIAN HAS PROBLEMS NOT JUST WITH THE XTERRA BUT ALSO EARLIER MODELS OF THE FRONTER. STATISTICAL AND MECHANICAL EVIDENCE SUGGETS A DEFECT IN THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:GEAR POSITION INDICATION (PRNDL), POWER TRAIN:CLUTCH ASSEMBLY
CONSUMER STATED VEHICLE WILL NOT GO INTO FIRST GEAR. ABOUT ONE MONTH AGO WHEN CONSUMER WOULD PUT VEHICLE INTO FIRST GEAR IT MADE A LOT OF NOISE. THEN, IT WOULD GO INTO GEAR, BUT IT WOULD SLIP OUT AGAIN. ABOUT A WEEK LATER, SHE HAD TO HOLD IT IN GEAR. CURRENTLY, THE VEHICLE WILL NOT GO INTO FIRST GEAR. CONSUMER WILL BE TAKING THIS VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, BUT FELT THIS VEHICLE WAS TOO NEW FOR TRANSMISSION TO MALFUNCTION. *AK AFTER THE TESTING THE CONSUMER WAS TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSION AND THE CLUTCH WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. *TC

POWER TRAIN:CLUTCH ASSEMBLY:PEDAL/HAND LEVER(MOTORCYCLE)
CONTINUING POOR CLUTCH OPERATION. PEDAL OFTEN BINDS; HAD TO RELEASE PEDAL FULLY TO GET CRUISE CONTROL TO OPERATE; PEDAL IS NEARLY TO THE FLOOR AT FIRST START ON COLD MORNING. JUST SPENT $1200 TO REPAIR CLUTCH. DEALER CLAIMS BINDING CLUTCH IS NO PROBLEM. I HAVE SPOKEN TO OTHER 2000 XTERRA OWNERS THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM EARLIER IN THEIR OWNERSHIP AND HAD THE PEDAL REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY...MY THOUGHT IS THE BINDING CLUTCH IS CAUSING OTHER PROBLEMS...*JB

AFTER LESS THAN THREE YEARS OF OWNING THE CAR THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW JUST STOPPED GOING DOWN ONE DAY. THE SERVICE DEPT. AT MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER SAID HE THOUGHT THERE'D BEEN A RECALL, BUT NISSAN SAID THERE WAS NONE. THIS IS THE THIRD MAJOR THING I'VE HAD TO HAVE REPLACED THAT WAS LATER A RECALL. THEY NEED TO TAKE CARE OF THIS. *NM

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:MANIFOLD/HEADER/MUFFLER/TAIL PIPE
I HAVE DRIVEN MY 2000 NISSAN XTERRA FOR ALMOST 2 YEARS NOW WITH NORMAL DRIVING, NO OFF ROAD DRIVING OR ABUSE OF MY VEHICLE. RECENTLY I DISCOVERED THAT AFTER A FEW WEEKS OF AN OVERWHELMING SMELL OF EXHAUST IN MY PASSENGER CABIN THAT THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD IS IN FACT CRACKED. NOW ON MANY OCCASIONS I HAVE A VERY YOUNG CHILD IN MY VEHICLE SO I'VE HAD TO LEAVE HIM OUTSIDE TILL THE EXHAUST SMELL HAS DISSIPATED AND I CAN ONLY ASSUME IT'S NO LONGER MAKING IT'S WAY INTO THE CABIN. I CAN'T IMAGINE THAT THIS COULD POSSIBLE BE GOOD FOR ANYBODY. IN ANY EVENT I FIGURED I WOULD JUST HAVE TO GET THE PROBLEM FIXED BUT AS I DID SOME RESEARCH I REALIZED THAT I'M NOT ALONE AND THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF OTHER OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I WILL HAVE MANIFOLD REPLACED AT MY OWN COST SO I CAN AGAIN FEEL SAFE THAT I'M NOT BREATHING IN EXHAUST. I FIND IT ABSURD THAT NEITHER NISSAN NOR THE NHTSA HAS MADE THE PUBLIC AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM. I HOPE SOMETHING CAN BE DONE SOON.*AK
