#895990September 7, 2001
SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP, STEERING: STEERING WHEEL/HANDLE BAR
WHENEVER BRAKES WERE APPLIED THEY WOULD EITHER SNATCH OR PULL VEHICLE TO RIGHT. THIS CAUSED STEERING WHEEL TO BE SNATCHED OUT DRIVER'S HANDS. VEHICLE HARD TO CONTROL. AT DEALER'S 7 TIMES, BUT NO REPAIRS OR REPLACEMENTS WERE DONE. *AK

SEAT BELTS:FRONT:ANCHORAGE
THE CENTER SEAT BELT IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE DOES NOT ADEQUATELY ACCOMODATE A CHILD SAFETY SEAT (IN THE CENTER OF THE VEHICLE). THE FEMALE STRAP IS TOO LONG AND WILL NOT TIGHTEN PROPERLY. IF YOU CAN GET IT TO TIGHTEN PROPERLY, IT IS INSIDE THE CAR SEAT AND POSES A THREAT TO THE CHILD BECAUSE IT IS IN THEIR BACK. THE CHILD COULD LEAN BACK ON IT AT THAT POINT AND UNFASTEN THE BELT. IF THEIR WAS AN ACCIDENT, THE BELT FASTENER COULD COME THROUGH THE CLOTH PART OF THE CAR SEAT AND INJURE THE CHILD.

POWER TRAIN
SPEEDOMETER & ODOMETER FAILING INTERMITTENTLY (DEAD ABOUT 75% OF THE TIME). HAD DEALER REPLACE SPEEDOMETER-RELATED PART; DIDN'T FIX PROBLEM. LATER, NOTICED TACHOMETER, TEMP & GAS GAUGES FAILING, TOO (THOUGH USUALLY EITHER THE GAS OR THE TEMP WORK EVEN WHEN EVERYTHING ELSE IS DEAD). AFTER 1 WEEK OF WAITING, DEALER SAYS IT WILL BE 3 WEEKS BEFORE PART IS AVAILABLE. SOUNDS IDENTICAL TO NHTSA CONSUMER COMPLAINT ODI ID #886991, WHICH WAS FIRST IDENTIFIED ON 3/15/2001 (4 MONTHS AGO), SO IT SHOULD BE SOMETHING NISSAN IS PREPARED TO DEAL WITH, NOT REQUIRING A MONTH OR MORE TO GET A REPLACEMENT PART!

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
I AN PRETTY SURE AT 50 MPH HITTING ANOTHER CAR THE AIRBAGS SHOULD DEPLOYED. I DON'T KNOW ENOUGH ABOUT THEM TO SAY THAT WITH 100% ACCURACY, BUT YOU WOULD. NISSAN WILL LOOK AT THE CAR, BUT HOW CAN I KNOW IF THEY SAY THEY SHOUDL NOT HAVE DEPLOYED IF THEY ARE SAYING THAT TO APPEASE ME OR BECAUSE IT'S TRUE. *AK

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
CONSUMER WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION, GOING BY THE EPA STICKER ON VEHICLE ,THAT IT GETS 20-28 GAS MILEAGE. CONSUMER GOT VEHICLE PLUGGED TO COMPUTER, AND IT SHOWED CORRECT GAS MILEAGE WAS 17-19 FOR 5 SPEED CYLINDER. NISSAN MUST HAVE AN INTERNAL DOCUMENT TO ACHIEVE THE 17-19 GAS MILEAGE ON VEHICLE. NISSAN KNOWS THIS, AND STILL SHOWS EPA MILEAGE INCORRECTLY ON STICKERS.*AK *JB

INTERIOR LIGHTING
DASH LIGHTING ON 2001 NISSAN XTERRA SE IS SO DIM THAT THE GAUGES CAN NOT BE READ AT MOST TIMES, ESPECIALLY WHEN LIGHTS ARE ON DURING THE DAY IN CLOUDY WEATHER. VISABILITY IS DIFFICULT ON A DARK NIGHT. INABILITY TO DETERMINE SPEED (AND OTHER GAUGE STATUS) MAKES VEHICLE DANGEROUS TO OPERATE.*AK

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
I AM CONCERNED THAT THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY UPON IMPACT OF THE OTHER VEHICLE. THIS WAS A FRONTAL COLLISION FOR ME AND A SIDE IMPACT FOR THE OTHER VEHICLE. MY FRONT BUMPER AND FRONT END WAS BADLY DAMAGED TO A POINT WHERE MY AIR BAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED, THIS ALSO WHAT THE OFFICE ON THE SCENE HAD INDICATED.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THE ACCIDENT THAT I WAS INVOLVED IN WAS IN JULY 2000. IT WAS ONLY ME AND THE VEHICLE INVOLVED. THE VEHICLE WENT OUT OF CONTROL AND INTO REVERSE. I NEVER REGAINED CONTROL THEN ROLLED DOWN A HILL OFF THE HIGHWAY.. THE VEHICLE WAS RULED A TOTAL LOSS. MY INJURIES WERE MINIMAL. I WAS GREATFUL FOR THAT . I JUST FEEL THE VEHICLE WAS RESPONSIBLE AND THERE WAS SOMETHING THAT WENT WRONG. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN WITH NO LUCK . I EVEN RECEIVED A RECALL ON THE VEHICLE . AND STILL NISSAN HAS GIVEN ME NO ANSWERS . THIS WAS A NEW MODEL AND I FIGURED I ONLY HAD IT FOUR MONTHS, THEY MAY WANT TO KNOW ABOUT THE ACCIDENT .AND INVESTIGATE IT.*AK
