POWER TRAIN
I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN XTERRA AND I'M HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION I PLACE IT IN GEAR AND HEARD A POP AND THEN THE VEHICLE DID NOT WANT TO GO ANYWHERE. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I HAVE COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT THERE ARE MANY OTHERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. IF NISSAN KNOWS THIS IS A PROBLEM THEY SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIRS NO MATTER WHAT THE MILEAGE IS ON THE VEHICLE. I WILL NOT BE BUYING ANOTHER NISSAN IF THEY DON'T WANT TO STAND BEHIND THERE PRODUCTS. A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO THE FUEL SENDING UNIT WENT BAD AND IT COST ME 1200.00 DOLLARS TO HAVE IT FIXED AND IT WAS ALSO A KNOWN PROBLEM. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, POWER TRAIN
SUDDEN LOUD NOISES/BANGING WHILE DRIVING. PULLED OVER, HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO MECHANIC. RADIATOR FOUND TO BE CRACKED. RADIATOR FLUID LEAKED INTO AND CONTAMINATED TRANSMISSION CAUSING SUDDEN TRANSMISSION FAILURE. LEARNED NISSAN WAS/IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND HAS NOT NOTIFIED ANYONE OF PREVENTATIVE MEASURES TO PREVENT FAILURE OF TRANSMISSION. "EXTENDED WARRANTY" RESULTING FROM CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT REQUIRES $3000 COPY FOR VEHICLES WITH 90,000-100,000 MILES. MY MECHANIC SAYS THIS IS A JOKE BECAUSE RADIATORS NOT CRACKING UNTIL AT LEAST THIS TIME. NOW I HAVE TO PAY $3000 I DON'T HAVE TO REPAIR THE TRANSMISSION WHICH I COULD HAVE SAVED HAD I BEEN NOTIFIED TO REPLACE THE RADIATOR. I WILL NOT EVER PURCHASE A NISSAN AGAIN. *TR

THE CAR HAD BEEN DRIVING FINE AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO A HIGHER GEAR. THE RPMS WOULD JUST INCREASE. AT TIMES THE CAR WOULD NOT EVEN GO INTO ANY GEAR WHAT SO EVER. FINALLY MANAGED TO GET IT TO A DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION FLUID MIXING WITH THE RADIATOR FLUID. TOLD ME I NEEDED BOTH REPLACED AND QUOTED OVER $6500 FOR THE FIX. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AT THE TIME, BUT I WAS ALSO HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL GAUGE (ALSO ANOTHER KNOWN PROBLEM IN XTERRAS). *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, POWER TRAIN
I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED AND DISGUSTED WITH THE WAY NISSAN HAS HANDLED THIS PROBLEM. MY XTERRA 2007'S TRANSMISSION DID NOT GO BAD UNTIL IT REACHED OVER 120K MILES. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING CROSS COUNTRY WITH MY CHILDREN AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN SHE FELT THE GEARS SLIPPING WHILE DRIVING IN A MAJOR INTERSTATE. LUCKILY SHE WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME SAFE. I FOUND OUT SHORTLY AFTER THIS ALMOST CATASTROPHIC EXPERIENCE THAT THERE WERE MANY COMPLAINTS REGARDING NISSANS TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. I GUESS THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT THAT ONLY COVERED VEHICLES UNDER 100K MILES. WHY IS NISSAN ONLY PROVIDING ASSISTANCE TO VEHICLES UNDER 100K MILES IF THERE IS A THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE TRANSMISSION COOLANT. THEY SHOULD COVER ANY TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS REGARDLESS OF WHAT THE MILEAGE IS. I TOOK MY XTERRA TO AAMCO BECAUSE THEY CHARGE BE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS LESS OF WHAT A NISSAN DEALERSHIP WOULD HAVE CHARGED ME. I HAVE BEEN A LOYAL NISSAN OWNER SINCE 2003 AND WILL NEVER BUY A VEHICLE FROM THEM AGAIN. IN FACT, I HAVE CONVINCED FRIENDS AND FAMILIES NOT TO BUY NISSAN VEHICLES BECAUSE OF THE POOR SERVICE THAT THEY HAVE PROVIDED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN XTERRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE ENGINE RPMS INCREASED EXCESSIVELY BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE RADIATOR FLUID WAS MIXED WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. AS A RESULT, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 116,208.

DRIVING SOUTH ON THE FLORIDA TURNPIKE, OUR NISSAN X-TERRA WOULD NOT CHANGE SPEED AT 40 MILES PER HOUR AND IT APPEARED THAT THE TRANSMISSION COULD NOT CHANGE. THE SLIP INDICATOR LIGHT WENT ON. THIS SITUATION HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY THREE TIMES, AFTER EACH INCIDENT WE HAD TO STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. FINALLY AFTER THE THIRD ATTEMPT THE VEHICLE PICKED UP SPEED. WHEN WE GOT HOME, I CHECKED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND IT HAD WHAT APPEARED TO BE WATER. I CHECKED THE RADIATOR CAP, AND INSTEAD OF LIQUID THE MIXTURE SEEMED TO BE A CREME PASTE, LIKE IT HAD OIL. SEARCHING IN GOOGLE, I FOUND THAT THERE WAS A LAWSUIT BROUGHT AGAIN NISSAN FOR THIS DEFECT. HOWEVER TODAY AT BILL SEIDLE'S NISSAN IN MIAMI, I WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS A CO-PAYMENT OF $2,500.00. THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS, SINCE THE PROBLEM WAS CREATED BY NISSAN AND NOT BY THE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
I REALLY DO NOT KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN. MY TRUCK WOULD NOT START 8/26/13. I LEARNED THAT THE DREADED RADIATOR COOLANT LEAK HAD FINALLY DESTROYED MY TRANSMISSION COMPUTER SYSTEM AND TRANSMISSION. I FIRST LEARNED THAT THIS COULD BECOME A PROBLEM IN FEBRUARY OF 2011 WHEN MY VEHICLE WAS AT ABOUT 96,300 MILES. THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP GAVE ME A NUMBER TO CALL, I DID AND WAS TOLD AT THAT TIME THAT I COULD PAY $6000 OUT OF POCKET AND POSSIBLY BE REIMBURSED LATER AS MY VEHICLE VIN WAS NOT IN THE CURRENT LIST OF VEHICLES BEING OFFERED THE "SPECIAL WARRANTY COVERAGE". I WAS GIVEN A CASE NUMBER AND TOLD I WOULD BE MAILED INFORMATION ABOUT ALL FUTURE MATTERS REGARDING THIS PROBLEM. I DID NOT HAVE $6000 THEN, I DO NOT HAVE $3000 NOW. THAT IS THE AMOUNT OF THE DEDUCTIBLE THE NISSAN DEALER SAYS I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING IF NISSAN HONORS THE TIME I INITIALLY REPORTED THIS PROBLEM TO THEM. I NEED SOME HELP. MY HUSBAND IS ACTIVE DUTY NAVY AND I KEPT THIS VEHICLE SERVICED AND DID EVERYTHING I WAS SUPPOSED TO DO TO MAKE SURE THIS VEHICLE STAYED IN GREAT CONDITION AND NOW I HAVE A VEHICLE THAT IS NO LONGER WORKING. I HOPE YOU CAN HELP US. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, POWER TRAIN, ENGINE
WHEN DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS I BEGAN TO NOTICE THE ENGINE BOGGING DOWN WHEN CHANGING GEARS. UPON TAKING IT TO MY MECHANIC I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A LEAK BETWEEN THE TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE COOLANT SYSTEMS. THE FIX WOULD REQUIRE A REPLACEMENT OF BOTH SYSTEMS TOTALLY APPROX. $6000! APPARENTLY THIS IS A "KNOWN ISSUE" WITH 2005-2010 XTERRAS. UPON CONTACTING NISSAN I WAS TOLD THAT SINCE MY VEHICLE WAS OVER 100,000 MILES THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO FOR ME. IF THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE, AND A RATHER MAJOR ONE AT THAT, I'M NOT SURE WHY THERE HASN'T BEEN ANY RECALLS OR SOME KIND OF FIX. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, POWER TRAIN
WHILE DRIVING THROUGH THE INTERSECTION, MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST POWER CAUSING ME TO GET REAR ENDED. VERY MINIMAL DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE BUT MY DAUGHTER WAS IN THE CAR WITH ME. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION AT A SHOP IT WAS CONCLUDED THAT THE CAUSE OF THE LOSS OF POWER WAS DUE TO A FAILURE IN THE TEAMS FLUID COOLER CAUSING RADIATOR FLUID TO ENTER THE TRANSMISSION. *TR

MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING OUR 2005 NISSAN XTERRA AND SUDDENLY THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE, SHE FLOORED IT AND AFTER A WHILE IT GOT BACK UP TO SPEED ENOUGH FOR HER TO PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY THROUGH 3 LANES OF TRAFFIC AND ONTO THE SIDE ROAD. THE CAR NOW SITS IN MY DRIVEWAY BECAUSE IT WILL COST OVER 6,000 TO REPAIR (THE CAR BOOK VALUE IS A BIT LESS THAN THAT). THE TRANSMISSION/RADIATOR WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THE FLUID HAS GOTTEN INTO THE TRANSMISSION. NISSAN IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND STILL CONTINUES TO LET THEIR CUSTOMERS BEAR THE BRUNT OF THEIR DEFECTIVE PRODUCT. THANK GOD MY DAUGHTER WAS NOT KILLED ON THE HIGHWAY DUE TO THE SUDDEN LOSS OF SPEED/CONTROL. I HOPE IT DOES NOT TAKE SOMEONE DYING FROM THIS DEFECT IN ORDER FOR THEM TO RECALL AND PAY TO REPLACE/REPAIR THIS ISSUE. PERHAPS SOMEONE ALREADY HAS BUT NO ONE KNOWS YET. I HAD TO DRIVE THE CAR HOME FROM THE MECHANIC SHOP JUST A FEW MILES AND WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE SEVERAL TIMES AND WAS ALMOST HIT TWICE. WE HAVE BOUGHT HER A NEW CAR (NOT A NISSAN) AND ARE TRYING TO FIND SOMEONE TO PURCHASE THE NISSAN AND FIX IT THEMSELVES OR SELL IT FOR PARTS. WE NOW HAVE A USELESS AUTO THAT IS NO LONGER WORTH A DIME AND WE ARE OUT SEVERAL THOUSAND IN RESALE VALUE. HOW CAN THIS BE LEGAL? WHEN WILL THIS FINALLY BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY? *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, POWER TRAIN
WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 60 MPH, MY CAR SHIFTED OUT OF GEAR AND THE RPM'S SHOT UP CAUSING MY CAR TO PRETTY MUCH STOP MOVING ON THE HIGHWAY. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND CALL FOR A TOW. WE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST WHO TOLD US THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS FRIED. BY LOOKING AT THE FLUID IN THE TRANSMISSION JUST ON A QUICK LOOK, HE DEDUCED THAT THE RADIATOR HAD MOST LIKELY LEAKED COOLANT, CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION TO FAIL. UPON RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE, I LEARNED THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MANY NISSAN VEHICLES AND COULD BE A HUGE PROBLEM FOR MANY PEOPLE. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO GET TO SAFETY AND WAS NOT HIT BY ANOTHER CAR OR SUSTAINED ANY INJURIES. FINALLY, I HAD TO TRADE THE CAR IN FOR A GIGANTIC LOSS! VERY UPSET. *TR

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
ON DECEMBER 06, 2013, WHILE MERGING ONTO THE HIGHWAY, MY GRAY IN COLOR, 2006 NISSAN XTERRA, COMPLETELY LOST ALL MOTIVE POWER & FAILED TO SHIFT GEARS, SIMPLY REVVING OUT IN 2ND GEAR. IT SHOULD BE NOTED, MY 2006 NISSAN XTERRA IS THE 4X4, AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION & HAD AROUND 99,950 MILES AT THE TIME. THE INCIDENT PUT MYSELF, MY WIFE, AND MY EIGHT MONTH OLD BABY GIRL IN DANGER DUE TO THE FACT WE HAD NO WHERE TO EXIT THE HIGHWAY & WERE QUICKLY SLOWING DOWN IN TRAFFIC. THIS INCIDENT ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF THE FASTER HIGHWAY TRAFFIC. IT HAS SINCE COME TO MY ATTENTION THAT NISSAN IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND THAT IT IS CAUSED BY THE RADIATOR LEAKING COOLANT INTO THE TRANSMISSION CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION FLUID TO MIX WITH THE RADIATOR FLUID, EFFECTIVELY DESTROYING THE TRANSMISSION. I WAS ABLE TO SLOWLY WORK THE RPMS UP & GET THE TRANSMISSION TO SHIFT UP A FEW GEARS SO WE COULD MAKE IT OFF THE HIGHWAY. I THEN CONTACTED MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER WHO ADVISED THAT NISSAN WAS AWARE OF THE ISSUES AND HAVE EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 100,000 MI. HE INFORMED ME THAT TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION & THE RADIATOR IT WOULD COST APPROXIMATELY $7000, HOWEVER, IF I WAS UNDER 100,000 MI, I WOULD ONLY HAVE TO PAY A $3,000 DEDUCTIBLE. BECAUSE I HAD PASSED THE 100,000 MILE MARK BY DRIVING MY VEHICLE BACK HOME, I WAS NO LONGER ELIGIBLE FOR THIS EXTENDED WARRANTY. I'VE OWNED MY NISSAN XTERRA FOR OVER 6 YEARS & HAVE MADE SURE TO STAY CURRENT ON ALL THE ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. THE FACT THAT NISSAN IS NOT ONLY AWARE OF THESE ISSUES (WHICH HAVE ALLEGEDLY AFFECTED THOUSANDS OF NISSAN OWNERS), BUT ALSO THAT THEY HAVE FAILED TO TAKE ANY CORRECTIVE ACTION, IS SIMPLY UNACCEPTABLE & ALSO DOWNRIGHT DANGEROUS. IT IS ONE THING FOR NISSAN TO NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT, BUT IT IS WRONG FOR THEM TO KNOWINGLY ALLOW THEIR PRODUCT TO PUT PEOPLE'S LIVES IN DANGER. *TR

WE HAVE AN 2006 NISSAN XTERRA AND THE RADIATOR LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND CAUSED A CROSS CONTAMINATION. WE HAD TO REPLACE THE RADIATOR AND HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REBUILT. WE PARTICIPATED IN THE NISSAN CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT, BUT UNFORTUNATELY WE RECEIVED A DENIAL LETTER IN THE MAIL EARLIER THIS WEEK BECAUSE WE WERE OVER 100,000 MILES. I AM HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED WITH NISSAN FOR BEING SO GREEDY AND NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY OVER THIS ISSUE. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENED TO OCCUR THE WINTER OF 2011 WHEN I WOULD GO OUT TO START THE CAR AND IT WOULD BLOW COLD AIR AND NEVER HEAT UP UNLESS THE CAR WAS RUNNING. IF I WAS TO SIT AT RED LIGHTS THE CAR WOULD BLOW COLD AIR AGAIN. THAT SPRING I NOTICED THE CAR JERKING AND DRIVING A LITTLE ROUGH BUT DIDN'T THINK MUCH ABOUT IT BECAUSE WE HAD JUST REPLACED THE UNIVERSAL C JOINT BACK THAT PRIOR FALL. THE SUMMER OF 2011 AND AT FIRST I NOTICED THE RPM'S REVVING UP BUT THE CAR WOULDN'T GO ANYWHERE. THEN THE AIR WENT OUT AND WOULD COOL DOWN THE CAR. MEANWHILE I AM DRIVING MY KIDS AROUND IN A CAR WITH NO AC IN 100 SUMMER HEAT AND HUMIDITY. EVENTUALLY THE CAR GOT SO BAD IT WOULDN'T RUN. IT WOULD REV UP BUT GO NO WHERE. I FINALLY TOOK IT INTO A SHOP WHEN I NOTICED IT LEAKING A REDDISH, BROWN/GREEN FLUID. COME TO FIND OUT THERE WAS CROSS CONTAMINATION BETWEEN THE RADIATOR AND THE TRANSMISSION. I HAD BEEN DRIVING MONTHS WITH THIS CAR LIKE THIS IT REALLY MESSED UP MY XTERRA. IT COST ME $4500 TO FIX THIS ISSUE ON TOP OF MANY INCONVENIENCES. I'T SUPER DISAPPOINTED IN NISSAN FOR NOT RECALLING THIS FAULTY PART THEY KNEW ABOUT. APPARENTLY A LETTER WAS SENT OUT ASKING CUSTOMERS TO BRING THE CARS IN TO BE CHECKED. WE NEVER RECEIVED THIS LETTER. ALL I WANT IS NISSAN TO FESS UP AND PAY HARD WORKING PEOPLE BACK THE MONEY THEY OWE THEM. MY XTERRA WAS PAID OFF AND I HAD TO SINK $4500 INTO A 6 YEAR OLD CAR. NISSAN HAS LOST A CUSTOMER FOR LIFE. ILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER. *TR

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
MY 2005 NISSAN XTERRA WITH 75600 MILES JERKS WHEN IT SHIFTS. AFTER DOING MY OWN ONLINE RESEARCH AND BRINGING TO THE DEALERSHIP, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE RADIATOR WAS LEAKING COOLANT AND MIXING INTO THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. THERE IS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THIS DEFECT TO 80,000 OR 96MONTHS. I QUALIFIED FOR THE MILEAGE BUT NOT THE SERVICE DURATION (6 MONTHS OVERDUE). THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WOULD BE A $2500 COPAY TO REPLACE MY RADIATOR AND REPAIR MY TRANSMISSION. I TALKED TO NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS BUT THEY REFUSED TO HELP AND SAID $2500 IS MY ONLY OPTION. THIS RADIATOR IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR ALL THE DAMAGE IT CAUSED. I'VE OWNED MANY NISSANS BEFORE AND HAD GREAT LOYALTY TO THEM. NISSAN SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR KNOWING ABOUT THEIR FAULTY RADIATOR AND NOT FIXING THEM BEFORE THEY CAUSED FURTHER DAMAGE! *TR
