VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
IN APRIL, BOTH FRONT WINDOW REGULATORS WENT OUT IN OUR 2001 XTERRA. WE HAD BOTH REPLACED FOR $400.00 AND NISSAN DID REIMBURSE US THE COST OF THE MOTOR, NOT LABOR. THEN IN JUNE, BOTH REAR WINDOW REGULATORS HAVE GONE OUT AND WE HAVE YET TO GET THEM FIX OR THE SITUATION RESOLVED WITH NISSAN.

VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
THE WINDOW REGULATORS IN ALL 4 WINDOWS OF MY 2001 XTERRA HAVE ALL FAILD REPEATEDLY. THE DRIVERS WINDOW HAS FAILED 4 TIMES AND ALL OTHER WINDOWS HAVE BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES. NOW TODAY THE WINDOW REGULATOR IN THE DRIVERS SIDE HAS FAILED AGAIN AND I AM 300 MILES OUT OF WARRANTY. THE DEALER INDICATED TO ME THAT THIS IS CONSIDERED A NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR ITEM AND NO LONGER COVERED. THE DEALER ALSO INDICATED THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT NISSAN IS AWARE OF AND SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS "ALL THE TIME" WITH THE XTERRA.

VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
I'VE HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY WINDOW REGULATORS SINCE THEY DAY I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE. FOR THE FIRST THREE MONTHS I COULDN'T USE MY FRONT WINDOWS BECAUSE THE REGULATORS WERE ON NATIONAL BACKORDER. ALL MY WINDOWS HAVE NOT WORKED AT SOME POINT DUE TO THIS REGULATOR PROBLEM, I THINK I'VE HAD IT IN AS MANY AS SIX TIMES TO GET THE WINDOWS LOOKED AT. I AM NOW OUT OF WARRANTY AND ONE OF THE WINDOWS (THAT I JUST HAD CHECKED OUT SIX WEEKS AGO) IS NOT WORKING. I'VE CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS TO FIND OUT WHAT THEY'LL DO TO COMPENSATE ME....STILL WAITING TO HEAR BACK.*AK

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP
I WAS DRIVING MY 2001 XTERRA ON INTERSTATE 495 WHEN THE CAR ABRUPTLY LOST POWER AND STALLED WHILE TRAVELING 65 MPH. AFTER REPEATED ATTEMPTS TO START THE CAR, IT STARTED AFTER 20 MINUTES. I LET THE CAR RUN FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES BEFORE REENTERING THE HIGHWAY. ABOUT TWO MILES DOWN THE ROAD THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER, STALLED AND WOULD NOT RESTART. I HAD THE CAR TOWED AND A BAD FUEL PUMP/FUEL SENDING UNIT WAS DIAGNOSED. THE FUEL INJECTORS WERE DRY, AS IF THE CAR HAD RUN OUT OF GAS, BUT I HAD THREE QUARTERS OF A TANK. IT IS WELL DOCUMENTED ON THE INTERNET ON NISSAN OWNER'S SITES THAT THE NISSAN FRONTIER AND XTERRAS EXPERIENCE PROBLEMS WITH THE FUEL PUMP SENDING UNITS. THE RESULT OF SUCH FAILURES IS NO GAS DELIVERY TO THE ENGINE, AS IF THE VEHICLE HAS RUN OUT OF GAS. THE FAILURE COMES WITHOUT WARNING AND DOES NOT SEEM TO BE RELATED TO MODEL YEAR. IT IS APPARENT THAT SUCH FAILURES IN A GAS DELIVERY SYSTEM IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD. I BELIEVE NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BECAUSE IN JANUARY OF THIS YEAR THERE WAS A NATIONAL BACKORDER FOR THIS PART. *NLM

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY
MY GAS TANK NEVER SHOWS FULL WHEN IT IS FILLED. WHEN FILL MY XTERRA WITH GAS, IT OVERFLOWS EVERYTIME UNLESS I MANUALLY STOP THE PROCESS BY GUESSING HOW MANY GALLONS I HAVE PUT IN. AT THAT POINT THE GAS SPLASHES OUT AND OVERFLOWS. THEN WHEN I START MY CAR. THE GAS GAUGE ONLY SHOWS 3/4 TANK FULL, NEVER COMPLETELY FILLED. WHEN I FIRST BOUT THIS VEHICLE IN OCTOBER OF 2000, THIS PROBLEM WAS PRESENT BUT THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT FIX IT. THEN I READ ABOUT THE RECALL 2 YEARS LATER ON THE INTERNET AND DECIDED TO TAKE IT IN AGAIN. THE SECOND TIME, I TOOK MY XTERRA TO A LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP ABOUT THE RECAL ISSUED BY NHTSA IN 2002 BUT THEYSAID MY VEHICLE WAS NOT PART OF RECALL DUE TO VIN. *AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
AFTER SEVERAL VISITS TO NISSAN FOR NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS AND PROBLEMS THE 36,000 MILE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED IN THE MIDDLE OF FIXING THEM. THERE HAS BEEN A NOISE THAT THEY CLAIMED FIRST WAS THE KNOCK SENSOR, THEY REPLACED THAT, AND NOW THEY BELIEVE IT IS THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD HOWEVER IF IT IS JUST THE GASKETS THEY WANT $400.00 TO REPLACE OR IF IT IS CRACKED WHICH THEY CAN'T TELL ME FOR SURE IT'S COVERED UNDER THE 60,000 WARRANTY. THE MOST UPSETTING THING IS THIS PROBLEM EXISTED BEFORE WARRANTY EXPIRATION AND THEY STILL HAVE NOT FIXED IT. *NLM

SUSPENSION:FRONT:STABILIZER BAR
XTERRA WAS MAKING A POPPING SOUND WHEN TURNING. AFTER TAKING DRIVERS SIDE WHEEL OFF,I DISCOVERED BROKEN SWAY BAR BRACKET (LEFT HAND SIDE). TOP BOLT MISSING THREADS NOT DAMAGED WHICH RESULTED IN BROKEN FRAME OF VEHICLE. NO OTHER DAMAGE TO UNDERSIDE OF XTERRA. SUSPECT TOP BOLT NEVER INSTALLED CORRECTLY. NISSAN REFUSED TO WARRANTY THE FRAME DESPITE MY HAVING AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. HAD XTERRA REPAIRED BY REPUTABLE BODY SHOP. EXPERT BODY SHOP OPINION CONCURS WITH BOLT BACKING OUT AND CAUSING DAMAGE. BODY SHOP RECOMMEND REPAIR BEFORE USING XTERRA, FURTHER DAMAGE COULD BE CAUSED INCLUDING WRECK. PAID FOR REPAIR MYSELF. PHOTOS TAKEN BY THE BODY SHOP AND ME. *NLM
