FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
NOTICED CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON DASH WAS ON BUT DETECTED NO ISSUES AND UNEMPLOYED SO DIDN'T RUN DOWN TO NISSAN TO PAY THEM $600 TO TURN OUT A LIGHT. NEEDED TX INSPECTION STICKER ABOUT 4 DAYS AGO WENT TO GET ONE AT NEARBY JIFFY LUBE AND THEY DENIED BECAUSE OF "SAFETY OR EMISSIONS ISSUES" ON A CODE "P0463:FUEL LEVEL SENSOR CIRCUIT HIGH INPUT". I GOT HOME AND RESEARCHED AND FOUND THAT IS WAS QUITE COMMON PROBLEM WITH XTERRAS AND PATHFINDERS. SO COMMON IN FACT, THAT PREVIOUS GENERATION NISSANS WERE ACTUALLY RECALLED FOR A SIMILAR ISSUE. THE SENSOR IS IN THE GAS TANK AND ONLY CHECKS THE ACCURACY OF THE GAS GAUGE. UNFORTUNATELY, NO RECALL HAS BEEN PLACED ON THE PART FOR THE 2ND GEN YET, AND SO NISSAN CUSTOMERS ARE BEING FORCED TO HAVE THE DEALER MAKE THE REPAIR TO THE TUNE OF ABOUT $600. WHAT A RACKET. AND WITHOUT THE REPAIR I CAN'T GET MY INSPECTION STICKER, WHEN THE WORST THAT CAN HAPPEN IS TO RUN OUT OF GAS BECAUSE THE GAS GAUGE MAY NOT SHOW THE CORRECT LEVEL IN THE TANK. MY GAUGE IS WORKING FINE. SINCE WHEN IS EVEN A POSSIBLE GAS GAUGE PROBLEM A "SAFETY AND EMISSIONS" HAZARD ANYWAY? RACKET. THE GUY AT JIFFY LUBE TOLD ME IT MIGHT BE SENDING TO MUCH GAS THRU THE ENGINE. WHAT? A BLATANT LIE. SO APPARENTLY, THE SYSTEM HAS IT THAT THIS UNEMPLOYED PERSON, WITH BARELY ENOUGH TO SURVIVE HAS TO EITHER RISK A BIG COSTLY TICKET FOR NO INSPECTION STICKER OR LINE NISSAN'S POCKETS WITH MONEY I NEED TO FEED MY FAMILY FOR A FAULTY PART THAT THEY HAVE EVEN RECALLED THE PRIOR VERSION OF ALREADY WHEN MY VEHICLE RUNS GOOD AS IT EVER DID AND THE GAS GAUGE IS WORKING JUST FINE. THIS IS JUST WRONG ON SO MANY LEVELS AND AN INJUSTICE AND APPARENTLY, YOU FOLKS ARE THE ONLY ONES THAT CAN BRING JUSTICE TO THIS SITUATION BY FORCING THEM TO RECALL THAT PART THEY CAN'T SEEM TO GET RIGHT BEFORE THEY ROB MORE GOOD AMERICANS OF THEIR LIMITED RESOURCES IN THE RACKET THEY HAVE GOING.

POWER TRAIN
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN XTERRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD JERK WHILE SHIFTING GEARS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR FLUIDS WERE MIXING, CAUSING THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE, BUT WOULD NOT OFFER ANY FURTHER ASSISTANCE DUE TO THE MILEAGE BEING ABOVE 80,000. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 86,000. UPDATED 09/20/2011 *LN *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM
THE CAR BEGAN TO HAVE A SHAKING FEELING LIKE YOU WERE DRIVING OVER A RUMBLE STRIP ABOUT 4 MONTHS AGO. WE TOOK THE CAR TO DEALER AND THEY DETERMINED WE HAD THE ISSUE THAT NISSAN HAD REPORTED MAY HAPPEN WHERE THE RADIATOR FAILS AND COOLANT GETS INTO THE TRANSMISSION. THE DEALER SAID THE ENTIRE COOLING SYSTEM AND TRANSMISSION WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED AND THE COST WOULD BE $6500.00. NISSAN HAD SENT US A LETTER LAST YEAR STATING THEY HAD EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THE RADIATOR AND ALL OF ITS CORRESPONDING PARTS TO 80,000 MILES/96 MONTHS. OUR VEHICLE HAS 94,000 MILES ON IT. I CALLED NISSAN AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD DO NOTHING. WE ARE CURRENTLY FIXING PART OF THE PROBLEM BY FIXING THE RADIATOR AND FLUSHING THE TRANSMISSION. WHEN WE HAVE MORE FUNDING WE WILL HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REBUILT BECAUSE WE CANNOT AFFORD TO PURCHASE THE NEW TRANSMISSION. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE BRAND NEW IN 2007 AND HAVE HAD IT REGULARLY MAINTAINED SINCE THIS TIME. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 60 MPH, WHEN THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. I WAS IN FAIRLY HEAVY TRAFFIC AND HAD DIFFICULTY MAINTAINING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AS I STRUGGLED TO PULL IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I HAD IT TOWED INTO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHO INFORMED ME THAT THE RADIATOR HAD CRACKED AND COOLANT HAD WORKED IT'S WAY INTO THE TRANSMISSION. I AM BEING TOLD THAT I NEED TO REPLACE THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION WHICH WILL COST ME $5500 IN PARTS AND LABOR. IN ADDITION TO THIS, TRANSMISSIONS FOR THIS VEHICLE ARE ON BACKORDER AND I MUST WAIT EVEN LONGER FOR THE REPAIRS. OF COURSE, I HAVE 95,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE AND THAT MEANS I AM OUTSIDE OF THE WARRANTY COVERAGE. MY BIGGEST COMPLAINT IS THAT THIS PROBLEM IS LIKELY A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND SERIOUSLY PUTS OWNERS AT RISK OF INJURY OR EVEN DEATH. I WISH NISSAN WOULD BE MORE ACCOMMODATING IN REIMBURSING THE REPAIRS AND WARNING OWNERS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM IN THE FUTURE. *TR

SEVERAL ISSUES WITH MY 2005 NISSAN X-TERRA THAT MAKE IT VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. WE DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ANYMORE .....THE ISSUE WITH THE TRANS, THAT WE REPLACED BECAUSE ALL THE VIOLENT SHAKING EPISODES...NOW HOPEFULLY DONE WITH. NOW DUE TO A KNOCKING AND SENSOR LIGHT ALERT, AN ISSUE WITH 4X4, FUEL SENSOR WAS DIAGNOSED DAY B/F YESTERDAY. WE WERE TOLD THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.....COST ? OVER $3,000 ADDED TO THE $9,000 TRANS REPAIRS. PLEASE TELL ME WHAT TO DO! *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
DEFECTIVE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR, NISSAN DOES COVER THIS UNDER WARRANTY BUT ONLY UP TO A 70,000 MILAGE LIMIT. IF PART IS DEFECTIVE IT SHOULD BE REPLACED REGARDLESS OF MILES. I CONTACTED NISSAN DIRECTLY AND WAS TOLD SORRY, OVER MILEAGE CANNOT HELP. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT COULD ENDANGER OCCUPANTS WITH INACCURATE FUEL AMOUNTS, I.E. UN-EXPECTANTLY RUN OUT OF FUEL IN THE MIDDLE NO-WHERE OR ON THE INTERSTATE. DOES IT BECOME LESS SAFE WITH MORE MILES, I WOULD THINK NOT. NISSAN SHOULD BE MADE TO MAKE THE REPAIRS REGARDLESS OF MILES. *TR

AIR BAGS:SIDE/WINDOW
AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT 23 JUNE 2011 LOCATION: PLEASANT VALLEY TRAIL, PANAMINT MOUNTAINS, DEATH VALLEY NATIONAL PARK, CA TIME: APPROXIMATELY 6 PM I WAS DRIVING ON A POPULAR 4X4 TRAIL ON THE WESTERN EDGE OF DEATH VALLEY NATIONAL PARK ON THE EVENING OF 23 JUNE 2011. I WAS ALONE AND CRAWLING DOWN A STEEP DECLINE IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE, LOW RANGE, IN 1ST GEAR. I MADE A TRANSITION FROM ONE SET OF DEEP RUTS TO ANOTHER. THE CAR ROCKED FROM THE DRIVER'S SIDE TO THE PASSENGER SIDE AND BACK. THE MOTION WAS ABRUPT, BUT NOT VIOLENT IN ANY WAY, AND THE SAME MOTION THAT ANY OTHER VEHICLE THAT TRAVELS ON THIS POPULAR TRAIL WOULD FACE. ON COMPLETION OF THE ROCKING MOTION THE SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. AT THE TIME OF DEPLOYMENT MY FACE WAS AGAINST THE WINDOW CHECKING MY SIDE CLEARANCE ON THE ROAD. MY ELBOW WAS RESTING ON THE WINDOW SILL, AND I WAS STEERING WITH ONE HAND AT THE 9 O'CLOCK POSITION AND THE OTHER AT THE 5 O'CLOCK POSITION. ON DEPLOYMENT MY FACE WAS STRUCK ON THE LEFT FRONT AND SIDE, LEAVING ME WITH FACIAL PAIN, BRUISING, A BLOODY NOSE, AND RINGING EARS. THE ARM RESTING ON THE WINDOW SILL WAS FORCED DOWN AND FORWARD, LEVERING MY SHOULDER UP AND FORWARD. I WAS DAZED AND DISORIENTED FOR A FEW MINUTES. THE SEATBELT PRE-TENSIONER FIRED, PULLING THE BELT TIGHT ENOUGH AROUND MY PELVIS TO LEAVE BRUISES AND PAIN. I WAS VERY LUCKY THAT THE INCIDENT OCCURRED WHILE I WAS IN FIRST GEAR, LOW RANGE. THE VEHICLE STOPPED WHEN I PULLED MY FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR, IF I HAD BEEN IN 4 WHEEL HIGH RANGE THE VEHICLE WOULD HAVE LIKELY CONTINUED DOWNHILL AND GONE OVER THE EMBANKMENT AND DOWN A 400' 60 DEGREE SLOPE. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT PRODUCT DESIGN ERROR AND COULD HAVE RESULTED IN FAR GREATER INJURIES OR DEATH. THE MOTION THAT SET OFF THE DEPLOYMENT WAS ONE THAT I HAVE HAD ON HUNDREDS OF OCCASIONS WITH OTHER VEHICLES IN MY MORE THAN 30 YEARS OF OFF ROAD DRIVING EXPERIENCE. IT OCCURRED ON A POPULAR TRAIL USED BY THOUSANDS OF VEHICLES EACH YEAR. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
IN SEPTEMBER, 2010 I WAS DRIVING MY 2005 NISSAN XTERRA AT 55 MPH ON A TWO LANE HIGHWAY WHEN IT THE TEMPERATURE SPIKED OVERHEATING THE ENGINE AFTER PULLING OVER AND CHECKING IT I DISCOVERED I HAD TRANSMISSION FLUID IN THE RADIATOR. COME TO FIND OUT THERE IS A KNOWN DEFECT ON 2005 THRU 2010 NISSAN XTERRA'S, PATHFINDERS, AND FRONTIER'S IN WHICH THE RADIATORS INTERNALLY LEAK WATER INTO THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS AND CAUSES THE VIOLENT SHAKING AT HIGH SPEEDS. NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND HAS ONLY CHOSEN TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY ON THE RADIATORS AND NOT RECALL THE VEHICLES. IN FACT THE LETTER SENT TO THE CONSUMERS DOESN'T EVEN REFERENCE THE TRANSMISSION (IN WHICH IT DESTROYS). WHILE MY FAMILY AND I WERE NOT HURT, IT WAS A CLOSE CALL AND COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN WORSE AT THE SPEED I WAS GOING AND THE EFFECT THE FAILURE HAS ON THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A GARAGE AND THE RADIATOR REPLACED AND TRANSMISSION FLUSHED. WHILE SERVICING MY VEHICLE THE MECHANIC DISCOVERED THAT THE ENGINE HEAD HAD CRACKED. I INCURRED OVER 2,400 DOLLARS IN REPAIRS...USING A USED REPLACEMENT ENGINE. NISSAN CORPORATION AFTER 9 WEEKS OF WAITING HAS INFORMED ME THAT THEY HAVE OPTED NOT TO ASSIST IN THE REPAIR OF THE VEHICLE NOR PROVIDE REIMBURSEMENT. ON JUNE 23, 2011, MY TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO FAIL. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM
MY 2005 NISSAN XTERRA SUDDENLY DEVELOPED A LACK OF ACCELERATION NEARLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT AT A STOP SIGN. WHEN TAKEN TO MY MECHANIC I WAS TOLD THAT THE TROUBLE CODE INDICATED THE TCM AND OR THE FRONT BRAKE SOLENOID, BOTH OF WHICH ARE IN THE TRANSMISSION AND THEY WOULD COST AT LEAST $2000 TO FIX. THE DEALER WOULD NOT TALK TO ME OR RETURN MY CALLS AFTER LETTING ME KNOW THAT A FIX WOULD COST @$5000+ I CANNOT AFFORD TO REPLACE THIS AND AFTER FINDING THAT IT HAPPENS WITH NEARLY ALL 05 XTERRAS I WILL NOT. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER
ON OR ABOUT MAY 14TH 2011 I OBSERVE FLUID LEAKING FROM MY NISSAN 2005 XTERRA. I SOUGHT PROFESSIONAL ADVICE. IT WAS MANDATORY THAT I REPLACE THE RADIATOR, THERMOSTAT AND FLUSH THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION. IT BECAME VERY APPARENT THAT THIS WAS A MANUFACTURE DEFECT. I THEN CONTACT FIVE TOWNS NISSAN, WHO INDICATED THAT MY VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY (80,000). I DID RECEIVE AN UNDATED 'WARRANT NOTIFICATION' FROM NISSAN NORTH AMERICA INC WHICH DID COMPROMISE ANY EXTENDED WARRANTY ESPECIALLY IF IT IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. NISSAN NORTH AMERICA INC DID ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE WAS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT ON THE RADIATOR ASSEMBLY THAT WILL CAUSE LEAKAGE OF THE ENGINE COOLANT (ANTIFREEZE) TO MIX WITH THE TRANSMISSION CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION TO BE REBUILT. THIS WILL COST OVER $6,000.00 TO REPAIR. WHAT BECAME OBVIOUSLY SUSPICIOUS IS THAT NISSAN SENT THE 'WARRANT NOTIFICATION' AFTER THE FACT KNOWING THAT ALL AND OR MOST OF THE AFFECTED VEHICLES WERE OUT OF WARRANTY. IT BECAME APPARENT THAT NISSAN WAS FULLY AWARE OF THE DEFECTS, HENCE, BEING LIABLE FOR THEIR NEGLIGENCE. AMIDST ALL THE COMPLAINTS NISSAN REFUSE TO RECALL AND OR FIX THE DEFECTS. SECONDLY, I DO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE EMISSION SYSTEM OF THE SAID NISSAN 2005 XTERRA, OF WHICH, I DID REPORTED TO NISSAN. IN JUNE 2009 IT WAS DETERMINE UPON PAID INSPECTION BY NISSAN SERVICE CENTER, THAT BOTH #1 AND #2 CATALYTIC CONVERTOR, FUEL LEVEL SENSOR AND GAS GAUGE WERE ALL DEFECTIVE. I HAD THE GAUGE REPLACE, BUT BOTH #1 AND #2 CATALYTIC CONVERTOR, FUEL LEVEL SENSOR WILL COST OVER $4,000.00 TO REPAIR. IT NOW HAS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT OF THE TIMING CHAIN THAT CAN BE DISASTROUS, AND WILL COST $2,500.00. I AM MOST RESPECTFULLY ASKING YOUR OFFICE TO LAUNCH AN IMMEDIATE INVESTIGATION ABOUT THE MANUFACTURER DEFECTS THAT I HAVE LISTED, AND WOULD LIKE NISSAN TO FULLY COMPENSATE ME FOR THE REPAIRS. I WOULD LIKE YOU TO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION OF ALL THE CONSUMERS WHO ARE FRUSTRATED BY THIS DILEMMA, AND HAVE NO POSSIBLE ALTERNATIVE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN XTERRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO SHAKE EXCESSIVELY. THE FAILURE RECURRED WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE TRANSMISSION WAS FLUSHED. THE MECHANIC ALSO STATED THAT THE RADIATOR WAS CRACKED AND LEAKING TRANSMISSION FLUID INTO THE ENGINE. AS A RESULT, SEVERE DAMAGE WAS BEING DONE TO THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,000.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM
2005 NISSAN XTERRA- ROUTINE MAINTENANCE FOUND RADIATOR FULL OF TRANSMISSION FLUID. TRANSMISSION APPROX ONE QUART LOW. DEFECTIVE RADIATOR KNOWN BY NISSAN FOR SOME TIME NOW. ONLY EXTENDED WARRANTY TO 80,000 MILES FROM WHAT I LEARNED. MY CAR HAS 90,000 MILES. RECEIVED NO NOTICE OR WARNING PRIOR. NUMEROUS OWNERS COMPLAINED. SOME REQUIRED TRANSMISSION CHANGE COSTING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. *TR IN 2010 I BOUGHT ANOTHER NISSAN, FRONTIER, IT HAS THE SAME RADIATOR APPARENTLY. IF I WOULD HAVE KNOWN EARLIER, I WOULD HAVE NEVER PURCHASED ANOTHER NISSAN. WHY IS THERE NO RECALL ON THESE NISSANS, 2005 AND SUBSEQUENT? IT IS COSTING TAXPAYERS MILLIONS OUT OF POCKET. I WAS LUCKY, I WAS SPARED A TRANSMISSION CHANGE. I HAD THE TRANSMISSION FLUID COOLER IN THE RADIATOR DISABLED AND I INSTALLED A SEPARATE TRANSMISSION COOLER IN STEAD. IT DID COST ME A LOSS OF MY ROAD TRIP VACATION THOUGH. *TR

NISSAN HAS HAD A GREAT # OF FUEL SENSOR PROBLEMS WITH THEIR LINE OF VEHICLES. THIS IS A WELL DOCUMENTED FACT . MY FUEL GAUGE FAILED A FEW WEEKS BACK AND NOW READS EMPTY ALL THE TIME DESPITE FILLING THE TANK UP. THE FUEL SENSOR PROBLEM ALSO LOADS A CODE WHICH CAUSES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO STAY ON- NOT A GOOD THING IF YOU NEED TO GET A STATE INSPECTION DONE. NISSAN HAS IGNORED MINE AND MANY OTHER REQUESTS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. WITH A SENSOR THAT DOES NOT WORK OR READS GAS LEVELS FALSELY DUE TO FAULTY PARTS NISSAN IS PUTTING OR HAS PUT IN IT'S CARS THIS IS PUTTING THE DRIVING PUBLIC AT GREAT RISK. ACCIDENTS COULD BE CAUSED DUE TO RUNNING OUT OF FUEL WHEN YOU THOUGHT YOU HAD ENOUGH BECAUSE OF THIS FAULTY FUEL SENSOR.
