VISIBILITY:GLASS, SIDE/REAR
I PURCHASED MY 2001 NISSAN XTERRA IN MAY 2004. AS I WAS DRIVING HOME I NOTICED HOW THE DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER'S WINDOW GLASS SHAKES BADLY, AS IF THEY WERE GOING TO FALL RIGHT OUT THE WINDOW OR BREAK. I CONTACTED THE DEALER THE 2 DAYS LATER AND WAS TOLD, THEY WOULD CHECK INTO IT AND GET BACK TO ME. FOR THE FOLLOWING 3 WEEKS WE HAD ARGUMENTS OVER THE FINANCING OF THE VEHICLE, WHICH WE FINALLY RESOLVED, BUT THEY REFUSED TO EXPLAIN OR OFFER INFORMATION ABOUT THE WINDOW GLASS. I HAVE SEEN A MECHANIC ABOUT THE SITUATION, AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE REGULATORS FOR ALL FOUR WINDOWS NEED TO BE REPLACED AS THEY ARE DEFECTIVE. I NOTIFIED THE DEALER AND THEY REFUSED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM, STATING I HAVE TO PAY FOR IT MYSELF! I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE IS A RECALL OR SOMETHING THAT NISSAN IS DOING TO REPAIR THIS AT MINIMAL COSTS TO OWNERS! THANKS!*JB

VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
I HAVE A 2001 NISSAN XTERRA AND THE POWER WINDOWS DON'T OPERATE PROPERLY. THEY ROLL DOWN, BUT NEED ASSISTANCE MANUALLY TO GO UP. THIS IS OCCURRING ON ALL WINDOWS. I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING AND IT IS APPARENT THAT ALL XTERRA OWNERS ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE OWNED A NISSAN FOR OVER 5 YEARS WITH NO PROBLEMS AND OUT OF BRAND LOYALTY I BUY ANOTHER ONE AND IT HAS A PROBLEM THAT WILL HAPPEN OVER AND OVER. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP OR ISSUE A RECALL. *JB

CRUISE CONTROL: WHEN ACTUATING THE ACCELERATE BUTTON THE VEHICLE SURGES EXCESSIVELY AS IF ONE WAS PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR CAUSING A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. THIS IS A CONSISTANT PROBLEM THAT APPEARS TO HAVE NO RESOLUTION WITH THE DELER OR MANUFACTURER.*AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:GEAR POSITION INDICATION (PRNDL), POWER TRAIN:CLUTCH ASSEMBLY
CONSUMER STATED VEHICLE WILL NOT GO INTO FIRST GEAR. ABOUT ONE MONTH AGO WHEN CONSUMER WOULD PUT VEHICLE INTO FIRST GEAR IT MADE A LOT OF NOISE. THEN, IT WOULD GO INTO GEAR, BUT IT WOULD SLIP OUT AGAIN. ABOUT A WEEK LATER, SHE HAD TO HOLD IT IN GEAR. CURRENTLY, THE VEHICLE WILL NOT GO INTO FIRST GEAR. CONSUMER WILL BE TAKING THIS VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, BUT FELT THIS VEHICLE WAS TOO NEW FOR TRANSMISSION TO MALFUNCTION. *AK AFTER THE TESTING THE CONSUMER WAS TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSION AND THE CLUTCH WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. *TC

POWER TRAIN:CLUTCH ASSEMBLY:PEDAL/HAND LEVER(MOTORCYCLE)
CONTINUING POOR CLUTCH OPERATION. PEDAL OFTEN BINDS; HAD TO RELEASE PEDAL FULLY TO GET CRUISE CONTROL TO OPERATE; PEDAL IS NEARLY TO THE FLOOR AT FIRST START ON COLD MORNING. JUST SPENT $1200 TO REPAIR CLUTCH. DEALER CLAIMS BINDING CLUTCH IS NO PROBLEM. I HAVE SPOKEN TO OTHER 2000 XTERRA OWNERS THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM EARLIER IN THEIR OWNERSHIP AND HAD THE PEDAL REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY...MY THOUGHT IS THE BINDING CLUTCH IS CAUSING OTHER PROBLEMS...*JB
