POWER TRAIN, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
IN MARCH 2011 MY WIFE WAS DRIVING MY SON HOME AND THE XTERRA BEGAN TO SHAKE AS IF SHE WAS DRIVING ON RUMBLE STRIPS. I QUICKLY SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT AT A NISSAN DEALER AND IN ANTICIPATION OF THE SCHEDULED APPOINTMENT, I GOOGLED 2005 NISSAN XTERRA, RUMBLE STRIP. LITERALLY DOZENS OF WEB PAGES POPPED UP REVEALING THAT A DEFECT IN THE RADIATOR WAS CAUSING COOLANT TO LEAK INTO THE TRANSMISSION, THEREBY RUINING THE TRANSMISSION/RADIATOR. THE TESTIMONIALS DETAILED MY EXACT EXPERIENCE AND ALSO DESCRIBED INSTANCES WHERE TRANSMISSIONS WOULD LOCK-UP WHILE DRIVING. I RAISED MY SUSPICIONS TO COCHRAN NISSAN IN PITTSBURGH, PA, AND THEY PERFORMED A FULL SERVICE CHECK WHICH CONFIRMED THAT COOLANT HAD LEAKED INTO MY TRANSMISSION. COCHRAN EXPLAINED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS SALVAGEABLE, BUT THAT THE RADIATOR NEEDED REPLACED WHICH I LATER FOUND OUT HAD ITS WARRANTY EXTENDED TO 80,000 MILES. THE PROBLEM WAS, HOWEVER, THAT MY XTERRA CURRENTLY HAD 101,000 MILES, MAKING ME A VICTIM OF CIRCUMSTANCE AND THE EXTENDED WARRANTY OF NO BENEFIT TO ME. COCHARAN REPLACED THE RADIATOR AND FLUSHED THE TRANSMISSION AT A COST OF APPROXIMATELY $830.00. NOW IN FEBRUARY 2013 AGAIN AS MY WIFE WAS DRIVING (OUR TWO KIDS), THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED CAUSING THE XTERRA TO STALL AND LOCK UP AND AGAIN I AM LOOKING AT A SUBSTANTIAL REPAIR COSTING WELL ABOVE THE $830 PREVIOUSLY PAID. NISSAN HAS KNOWN ABOUT THE PROBLEM WITH THE RADIATOR/TRANSMISSION FOR YEARS (POSSIBLY 2007) AND HAS DONE NOTHING ABOUT IT. DAMAGE RESULTING FROM A DESIGN DEFECT IS NOT SOMETHING FOR WHICH PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE FROM THE OWNER COULD RECTIFY. SELLING A PRODUCT WITH DESIGN AND/OR MANUFACTURING DEFECTS TO UNSUSPECTING BUYERS THAT PLACES PERSONS IN DANGER IS UNETHICAL AND NISSAN SHOULD BE FORCED TO STAND BY THEIR PRODUCT AND TO DO THE RIGHT THING. PLEASE HELP AND PROTECT THE CONSUMER. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I FILLED UP THE GAS TANK AND NOTICED THAT THE GAUGE FAILED TO RISE TO REFLECT THE AMOUNT OF FUEL I ADDED. A DAY LATER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, REGISTERING CODE P0463. SINCE THIS INCIDENT, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON AND THE FUEL GAUGE HAS BEEN READING VARIOUS LEVELS OF FUEL, WITH NO WAY TO DETERMINE IF IT IS ACCURATE OR NOT. *TR

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
ON FEB. 8TH MY WIFE AND I WERE MOVING INTO A NEW PLACE JUST MILES AWAY FROM OUR OLD HOME. WHEN CRUISING IN BETWEEN 40-50 MPH THE VEHICLE WAS EXPERIENCING EXTREME VIBRATION IN THE REAR END OF THE VEHICLE. IT WAS THEN THAT I ASSUMED IT MIGHT BE A UNIVERSAL JOINT AND/OR THE DRIVE SHAFT. SO WHEN I HAD THE MONEY I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO AAMCO TRANSMISSIONS TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. I HAD TO DROP IT OFF BUT LATER THAT AFTERNOON THE MECHANIC CALLED ME AND TOLD ME IT WAS THE DRIVE SHAFT AND THE FRONTAL U-JOINT. HE REPLACED THE U-JOINT AND RE-BALANCED THE DRIVE SHAFT. I THOUGHT THE PROBLEM WAS SOLVED BUT JUST A FEW MILES DOWN THE ROAD I REALIZED IT HADN'T. SO I BROUGHT IT BACK AND THEY TOOK A SECOND LOOK AND TOLD ME IT MAY BE TWO THINGS. EITHER THE TORQUE CONVERTER IS BAD OR THE COOLANT HOSE BUSTED AND THE ANTIFREEZE WAS DRAINING INTO THE TRANSMISSION WHICH WOULD CAUSE THE TRANSMISSION TO BLOW OUT. THEY THEN TOLD ME TO FIX THE TRANSMISSION WOULD COST ME AROUND $6,000 WHICH TO ME IS WORTH MORE THAN THE ACTUAL VEHICLE. WHEN I GOT HOME I DID A LITTLE RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT SURE ENOUGH THE ANTIFREEZE WAS LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION. THE ANTIFREEZE LOOKS LIKE A GREEN APPLE MILKSHAKE IF YOU CAN IMAGINE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO BECAUSE I KNOW THAT THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR THIS ISSUE NOR WARRANTY COVERAGE. HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS EXACT ISSUE. I'M AT A LOSS, AND NOW THERE'S ABSOLUTELY NOTHING I CAN DO WITH MY ONLY TRANSPORTATION. *TR

STEERING, SERVICE BRAKES, AIR BAGS
I WAS DRIVING ALONG A SLIGHTLY SNOW COVERED ROAD WITH A LITTLE BIT OF ICE. MY SPEED WAS LOW ABOUT 15-20 MILES PER HOUR. THE CAR STARED SLIDING SIDEWAYS TOWARD ANOTHER CAR HEADING TOWARD ME. MY FOUR-WHEELED DRIVE WAS ENGAGED WHILE DRIVING. I MANAGED TO STEER THE CAR OUT OF THE WAY OF THE OTHER CAR BUT I COULD NOT GAIN CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE. THE BRAKES DID NOT HELP AND THE STEERING WOULD NOT RESPOND. I TRAVELED AT LEAST 80 FEET HITTING TREES AND BUSHES UNTIL A SET OF TREES STOPPED MY CAR. THE CRASH TOTALED MY CAR. *TR

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE
I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AROUND 70 MPH. EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF POWER FOLLOWED BY MY CAR RUNNING HOT. I PULLED OVER AND HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO MY REPAIR SHOP. DIAGNOSIS WAS THE RADIATOR WAS LEAKING COOLANT INTO THE TRANSMISSION. THE RADIATOR WAS REPLACED AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS FLUSHED. TOTAL COSTS $900. POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO THE TRANSMISSION UNKNOWN AT THE TIME. THE CAR IS NOW BACK IN THE SHOP WITH THE SAME ISSUES SLIPPING/GRINDING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. LOOKING ONLINE IT SEEMS THAT A NUMBER OF PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH A LEAKY RADIATOR HOSE. I SPOKE WITH A NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND THEY SAID THAT NOTHING CAN BE DONE. *TR

POWER TRAIN
AT A STOP SIGN STARTED TO DRIVE THEN STOPPED THE VEHICLE JERKED FORWARD AND STARTED TO VIBRATE MORE THAN NORMAL. I CALLED NISSAN ABOUT THE BAD RADIATOR THAT WRECKS THE TRANSMISSION. THEY TOLD ME TO BRING IT IN TO BE CHECKED OVER. WHY DON'T THEY RECALL THE RADIATOR AND NOT PUT MY FAMILY AT RISK FOR A BAD KNOW PART. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
LAST YEAR, 10/29/12, I NOTICED MY GAS GAUGE SHOWING EMPTY WHEN I HAD SLIGHTLY MORE THAN 1/4 TANK OF GAS, BUT NEEDLE MOVED ONCE TRUCK WARMED UP AND STARTED MOVING. THEN LAST MONTH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. NISSAN IS TELLING ME I HAVE TO PAY ROUGHLY $600.00 TO FIX THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR (CODE P0463). MY TRUCK HAS NOT EVEN 38,000 MILES ON IT. NOW I DIDN'T PASS INSPECTION. I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT NISSAN SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS REPAIR AND RECALL DUE TO THIS PART. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AT AROUND 75000 MILES MY FUEL SENDING UNIT FAILED ON MY 2007 NISSAN XTERRA. THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE AND HAS BEEN DOCUMENTED BY NISSAN IN NTB07-069B. THIS CONDITION CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO SHOW IMPROPER FUEL LEVELS AND THROWS THE FOLLOWING CHECK ENGINE CODE. BY NOT KNOWING EXACTLY WHEN THIS VEHICLE WILL BE OUT OF FUEL IT CAN BE AN UNSAFE CONDITION FOR MY WIFE AND GRANDDAUGHTER TO RIDE LONG DISTANCES IN THIS VEHICLE. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND HAD THE SYSTEM DIAGNOSED. IT WAS A BAD FUEL SENDING UNIT. I ONLY HAD 37200 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. I CONTACTED NISSAN AND SURROUNDING DEALERSHIPS AND GOT THE "IT'S OUT OF WARRANTY" SPEECH. THE SHOP THAT PERFORMED THE WORK MENTIONED THEY HAVE HAD A LOT OF NISSANS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I STILL HAVE THE RECEIPT AND IF THERE IS A RECALL ISSUED, I WOULD LIKE TO GET MY MONEY BACK. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN XTERRA WHICH OVER THE YEARS MY ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME ON FOR ALL PERIODS OF TIME AND THEN GO OFF. THE FIRST TIME IT CAME ON I RAN TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE I COULD NOT AFFORD TO BE BROKE DOWN. NO DIAGNOSIS WAS FOUND (PHANTOM LIGHT - $300 TO TELL NO THERE WAS NO PROBLEM) SO AFTER THAT I DID NOT RUN TO THE DEALER EVERYTHING THE LIGHT COME ONE WHICH WAS MOST OF THE TIME. STARTING IN JANUARY 2012 MY 2005 XTERRA WOULD SEEM TO HAVE A DIFFICULT TIME CHANGING OVER AT CERTAIN SPEEDS ESPECIALLY 40-45 AND 55-60 MPH. I MAINLY DRIVE HIGHWAY SO I KNEW THIS WAS NOT NORMAL FOR MY CAR. SINCE THE CAR WAS STILL RUNNING AND I HAD A STATE INSPECTION COMING UP IN MARCH-APRIL 2012 I WANTED TO WAIT BECAUSE I CANNOT BE WITHOUT A CAR. THE ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON FROM JANUARY UNTIL APRIL WHEN I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP. FINALLY IN EARLY APRIL 2012 I REALIZED THAT THE HEATS WAS NOT WORKING. AT THE APRIL 10, 2012 INSPECTION THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME I NEEDED A NEW RADIATOR ($999.45). THEY TOLD ME THE RADIATOR LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSIONS BUT THEY WERE ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THE CAR SEEMED TO WORK FINE AFTER THE REPAIR, NO DIFFICULTLY CHANGING OVER AT CERTAIN SPEEDS UNTIL OCTOBER 18, 012 WHEN I LEFT WORK AND THE CAR WOULD NOT START. AAA CAME AND TRIED TO JUMP IT TO NO AVAIL. TOWED TO LOCAL MECHANIC (NOT GOING BACK TO DEALERSHIP AGAIN) AND FOUND OUT ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION COOLING PROBLEM ($1,950.98) AND TWO WEEKS WITHOUT A CAR AND $100 TOWING BILL. NOW I GET A LETTER FROM ABOUT LAWSUIT WITH NISSAN BUT MY VEHILES DIAGNOSIS OCCURRED 1,985 MILES AFTER THE ALLOTTED MILEAGE (100,000). SO, I AM OUT $2950.45 PLUS THE COST OF TOWING AND RENT A CARS WITH THE VEHIILE THAT I AM NEVER GOING TO BE ABLE TO TRADE IN BECAUSE NO DEALER WOULD PURCHASE IT FROM ME KNOWING THE PROBLEMS WITH 2005 NISSAN XTERRA. I WILL NEVER BUY NISSAN AGAIN.

SERVICE BRAKES, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, STEERING
I WAS GOING APROX. 15 MPH ON A STRAIGHT WAY OFF OF A DIRT ROAD AND STARTED TO SLOW DOWN BEFORE APPROACHING A STOP SIGN A LITTLE WAY FROM IT , APPLIED THE BRAKE LIKE NORMAL, WHEN I HEARD MY ENGINE SOUND LIKE THE ACCELERATOR WAS BEING ROMPED ON, AND REALIZED IT WAS IN FACT SPEEDING UP RAPIDLY. I THEN STARTED THINKING FAST, PUT MY OTHER FOOT ON THE BRAKE TOO AND PULLED UP THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. I KNEW I COULDN'T MAKE THE TURN AT THE STOP SIGN ONTO A HWY. I WOKE UP AFTER BEING UNCONSCIOUS FOR AROUND THREE HRS. DUE TO SEVERAL INJURIES CAUSED BY THE AIRBAG THAT APPARENTLY INFLATED AT THE FIRST LARGE TREE IMPACT. PROCEEDING TO HIT SEVERAL OTHERS BEFORE IT CAME TO A STOP AND ALOT OF SHAKING AROUND AND FORTUNATELY I HAD MY SEAT BELT ON OR OTHERWISE WOULD HAVE BEEN EJECTED THRU THE WINDSHIELD ON THE LAST IMPACT FOR SURE HITTING THE LARGEST TREE OF ALL, STOPPING ME FROM ENTERING INTO A CREEK ABOUT 5 FEET AWAY, WHEN I WAS TAKEN TO THE SITE THE NEXT DAY I STILL DIDN'T REALIZE JUST WHAT HAPPENED, AND COULD ONLY REMEMBER THAT SOUND OF THE ENGINE REVVING SO LOUD WHILE I WAS TRYING TO SLOW DOWN SEEING THE STOP SIGN A WAYS UP AHEAD AND THEN REALIZING THE VEHICLE DID NOT WANT TO SLOW DOWN AND WAS TRYING TO ACCELERATE MORE AS I THEN WAS HOLDING BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKE AND HAD PULLED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND KNOWING I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO MAKE THAT TURN WITHOUT ROLLING AND WAS NO WHERE TO GO BUT STRAIGHT IF I COULDN'T GET IT TO STOP, AND AT THAT TIME IT WAS GOING WAY FASTER THAN I WAS ORIGINALLY GOING QUITE A WAY BEFORE THE STOP SIGN ONLY MAYBE 15MPH WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES AS USUAL BUT IT FAILED LIKE OTHERS I HAVE RESEARCHED HAVE DONE. THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL ON THIS A LONG TIME AGO , BUT NISSAN HAS LOST THEIR HONESTY AND BLEW OFF THEIR RESPONSIBILITIES OVER VERY , VERY MANY PROBABLE FAILURES THAT SHOULD HAVE MAJOR ALERTS AND RECALLS FOR THE SAFETY OF HUMAN LIVES. *TR
