VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
THE MECHANISM TO RAISE AND LOWER THE POWER WINDOWS IN XTERRAS IS DEFECTIVE. THE REPAIR IS $300-400 PER WINDOW, AND INCLUDES REPLACEMENT OF THE DEFECTIVE PART WITH A DEFECTIVE PART. I WAS TOLD THAT I SHOULD "STOP DRIVING OFF-ROAD," THE DEALER CLAIMED THAT I "BROKE" THE MECHANISM BECAUSE I GOT DUST INSIDE THE DOOR...I'M AN ARCHAEOLOGIST...I BOUGHT THE CAR BECAUSE I HAVE TO DRIVE OFF-ROAD! TWO MORE WINDOWS ARE BROKEN NOW, AND WHEN I CHECKED OWNER GROUPS ON THE INTERNET, I FOUND THAT THEY HAVE DEVISED SOME SOLUTIONS TO THIS PROBLEM---ALL SOLUTIONS REQUIRE THE CAR OWNER TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO REPAIR THE WINDOWS THEMSELVES. ONE GUY HAS FIXED HIS WINDOWS SEVEN TIMES! I'M EMBARRASSED TO SUBMIT THIS AFTER READING THE HORRID PROBLEMS SOME OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD WITH THEIR XTERRAS, BUT THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE PROBLEM...SOME OF THOSE PEOPLE WILL CERTAINLY HAVE THIS ONE ON TOP OF ALL THEY ALREADY HAVE!*AK

I AM HAVING TROUBLE WITH MY WINDOWS ALL 4 OF THEM DON'T WORK, IT ISN'T THE MOTOR, IT IS THE CABLE INSIDE...IT CRINKLES UP. 2 OF MY WINDOWS ARE STUCK DOWN. I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON HAVING THIS PROBLEM. I KNOW OF TWO OTHERS HAVING THE EXACT PROBLEM. ALL THREE OF US HAVE 2001 NISSAN XTERRA'S. THANKS, MATT WILLAND. *AK

VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
2 WINDOW REGULATORS ARE OUT AGAIN. SINCE BUYING THIS CAR WE HAVE HAD THEM REPLACED 8 TIMES. CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. FRIEND THAT BOUGHT SAME TYPE OF XTERRA AT THE SAME TIME HAS ALSO REPLACED THEM 5 TIMES. THIS ITEM IS OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED AND/OR REDESIGNED. NOW I EITHER CAN'T USE THE WINDOWS OR HAVE TO PAY HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS PER YEAR TO KEEP GETTING THEM REPLACED. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER NISSAN AS LONG AS I LIVE BECAUSE OF THIS. NEVER. JUST LOOK THROUGH THE LISTING HERE AND SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM. HOW NISSAN CAN ACT LIKE IT IS NORMAL IS AN ATROCITY. *AK

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:ALTERNATOR/GENERATOR/REGULATOR
NISSAN XTERRA'S WINDOW REGULATORS ARE FAULTY. I HAD TWO OF MINE REPLACED IN 2 YEARS AND THE THIRD ONE JUST BROKE. NISSAN ADMITS THAT THIS IS A COMMON COMPLAINT BUT IS NOT RECALLING THE EQUIPMENT. I AM OUT OF WARRANTY AND I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR IT IF I GET IT FIXED. EVERY NISSAN XTERRA USER HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM AND ATLEAST 2 WINDOW REGULATORS HAVE BEEN REPLACED ON EACH 2001 MODELS. ITS TIME NISSAN RECALLED THE EQUIPMENT.
