FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THE GAS GAUGE GOES FROM HALF FULL TO EMPTY AND LIGHT COMES ON WHEN THE CAR IS IN IDLE. THE GAUGE DOES NOT RE-SET UNTIL THE TANK IS FILLED AND DRIVES FOR ABOUT 100 MILES. I BELIEVE IT IS AN ISSUE WITH THE SENDING UNIT. IS THERE ARE RE-CALL? *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAVE A 2007 NISSAN XTERRA. AT ABOUT 61000 MILES I FILLED THE GAS TANK. WHEN I STARTED MY CAR I NOTICED THE FUEL GAUGE WAS STILL SITTING ON EMPTY. SOON THEREAFTER THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" MESSAGE APPEARED ON MY DASH INSTRUMENTS AND HAS NOT GONE OFF SINCE. I NOTICE THERE HAVE ALREADY BEEN ABOUT 156 OF THE VERY SAME PROBLEMS REPORTED WITH MANY OF THE PEOPLE RUNNING OUT OF GAS BECAUSE OF THIS. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THIS ITEM. *TR

POWER TRAIN, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
UPON EXITING A HIGHWAY, WHERE TRAFFIC WAS CONGESTED AND SLOW MOVING, MY 2005 NISSAN XTERRA SUDDENLY REFUSED TO ACCELERATE. SUDDENLY, SMOKE APPEARED TO BE EMANATING FROM THE UNDERCARRIAGE OF MY SUV. INITIALLY, IT APPEARED THAT MY VEHICLE HAD CAUGHT ON FIRE. TWO PASSING FIREMAN ASSISTED ME AND DETERMINED THAT I HAD A TRANSMISSION ISSUE BECAUSE OF THE FLUID THAT WAS LEAKED ONTO THE STREET. SINCE THE XTERRA WAS NOT DRIVABLE, IT WAS TOWED TO A TRANSMISSION REPAIR CENTER. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE WAS CAUSED BY A MALFUNCTIONING RADIATOR. APPARENTLY, RADIATOR FLUID CONTAMINATED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND SEVERELY DAMAGED THE TRANSMISSION. *TR

POWER TRAIN
I INITIALLY NOTICED SOMETHING WAS WRONG WHEN MY XTERRA WOULD FEEL LIKE IT WASN'T CATCHING WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 40 AND 70 MPH. IF I LET OFF THE GAS AND THEN HIT THE GAS AGAIN, IT WAS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION WAS MISSING AND THE VEHICLE FELT LIKE I WAS ROLLING OVER A LONG ROAD GRATE WITH A LOT OF VIBRATION. THEN I CHECK THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION TO FIND THAT BOTH HAD BEEN MIX TOGETHER. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, POWER TRAIN, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
IN DEC 2012 I HAD TO TAKE MY 2006 NISSAN XTERRA TO THE GARAGE, THERE I WAS TOLD THAT MY RADIATOR HAD CRACKED IN 3 PLACES AND THAT I HAD COOLANT IN MY TRANSMISSION. I HAD TO REPLACE THE RADIATOR AND HAVE THE TRANSMISSION FLUSHED SEVERAL TIME. THEN ON APRIL 10 I WAS DRIVING HOME. WHILE GETTING ON THE INTERSTATE MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND MY VEHICLE DID NOT WANT TO GO (LIKE IT WASN'T GETTING ANY GAS). TOOK THE XTERRA BACK TO THE GARAGE AND WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED TO REBUILD OR REPLACE MY TRANSMISSION. I FEEL THAT SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THIS THAT NISSAN NEEDS TO DO RECALLS AND REIMBURSE EVERYONE THAT HAS ALREADY HAD THIS PROBLEM. IF THEY WERE ANY KIND OF "GOOD" COMPANY THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT THEY WOULD DO! VERY DISAPPOINTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *TR

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
RADIATOR FLUID LEAKED INTO MY TRANSMISSION. THIS CAUSED AN ENTIRE SHUTDOWN OF MY TRANSMISSION. I WAS TOLD BY NISSAN THAT IT WOULD TAKE UP TO $5,000 TO REPAIR. THE RADIATOR FLUID LEAKED DUE TO A DEFECT THAT NISSAN COULD HAVE EASILY RECALLED AND AVOIDED. I HAVE CONDUCTED RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THOUSANDS OF OTHER NISSAN OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM AND NISSAN IS NOT WILLING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST EVEN THOUGH THIS COULD HAVE BEEN EASILY AVOIDED BY NISSAN MANUFACTURERS. *TR
