FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
YES IN THE 2005 NISSAN XTERRAS THERE IS NO FLOATING ARM DEVICE WITHIN THE FUEL SENDING UNIT. WHICH IS WHAT IS CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO HAVE THE FUEL GAUGE ON THE FRONT DASH PANEL TO READ INCORRECTLY TO THE ELECTRONIC SCREEN. IT ALSO DOESN'T REPORT YOUR DTE ON THE DASH PANEL BECAUSE THE FUEL SENDING UNIT HAS BEEN CORRODED, OR WAS MADE OF PLASTIC, AND HAS BEEN COMPLETELY DAMAGED. SO NOW WHEN THE VEHICLE SITS WHILE STARTED FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME THE FUEL GAUGE WILL GO TO EMPTY BUT REMAIN RUNNING, OR YOU COULD FILL YOUR VEHICLE UP ALL THE WAY WITH GAS, AND THEN WHEN YOU START THE XTERRA, THE VEHICLE WILL THEN SHOW EMPTY STILL UNTIL IT WAS AT 3 QUARTERS OF THE TANK, THEN IT WILL READ IT AT 3 QUARTERS OF A TANK UNTIL HALF A TANK. UNLESS THE VEHICLE SITS TO LONG WITHOUT MOVING, THEN VEHICLE WILL SHOW THE FUEL GAUGE ON THE FRONT DASH PANEL TO BE EMPTY. THIS IS UNSAFE BECAUSE IT WILL CAUSE NISSAN XTERRAS TO RUN OUT OF GAS ON THE ROAD WHICH COULD LEAD TO FRONT, SIDE, REAR, AND ROLLOVER CRASHES.

POWER TRAIN
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND ALL THE SUDDEN THE SUV STARTED LOOSING SPEED UNTIL IT CAME TO A COMPLETELY STOP IN THE MIDDLE LANE OF THE BALTIMORE BELTWAY 695 WHICH MADE A DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR ME. CARS FLYING BY ON BOTH SIDES OF ME. HAD A POLICE OFFICER STOP TRAFFIC SO THAT I COULD DRIFT IT BACKWARDS DOWN THE HILL TO GET IT TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. FOUND OUT IT WAS THE DDEFAULTY RADIATOR/TRANSMISSION THAT NISSAN KNEW ABOUT. IT DIDN'T GIVE ME ANY NOTICE THAT IT WAS ANYTHING WRONG. EXCEPT LEAVING ME STRANDED ON THE HIGHWAY. IT COSTS ME THOUSANDS TO GET A REPLACEMENT RADIATOR/TRANSMISSION INSTALLED AT THE NISSAN DEALER. MY VEHICLE HAD 105,000 MILES ON IT.

GOT INTO ACCIDENT WITH MY 2006 NISSAN XTERRA OFF ROAD. WAS DRIVING AT 8:05 PM AT 30 MPH DOWN PONCE DE LEON PASSING 207 IN ST. AUGUSTINE FLORIDA. A 2016 NISSAN PATHFINDER WAS STOPPED WHILE TRAFFIC WAS MOVING I TRIED TO AVOID THE NISSAN, NO TIME TO BRAKE, IT CLIPPED THE BACKSIDE OF THE PATHFINDER WITH MY XTERRA. MY DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER AIRBAG WENT OFF. (EXPLODED?) IT BROKE MY PASSENGERS ARM AND UNKNOWN OBJECT IN PASSENGERS EYE. AIRBAGS BLOWN OUT DESTROYED MY DASH AIR BAG IS RIPPED LIKE IT HAD A BABY. BOTH MY PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELTS BOTH RELEASED THE SEAT BELTS THEY DIDN'T LOCK DURING THE ACCIDENT USUALLY THEY LOCK AND WON'T RELEASE MY DRIVER SIDE IS NOT LOCKING IN PLACE AS THE PASSENGER.

INSURANCE COMPANY WANTED TO TOTAL THE XTERRA I TOOK IT HOME I STILL HAVE THE VEHICLE INSIDE WITH AIRBAGS BOTH INSURANCE COMPANIES ARE PROGRESSIVE THE DRIVER V02 HAD NO LICENSE THE OFFICER WAS TOO BUSY TO PROCEED WITH THE INVESTIGATION OF HOW THE ACCIDENT HAPPENED.

THERE WAS A SAFETY RECALL FOR RADIATORS IN NISSAN XTERRAS IN 2019 , I WAS NEVER INFORMED ABOUT THIS RECALL OR SERVICE BULLETINS EVEN THOUGH NISSAN KNOWS I OWN THE VEHICLE IN THEIR DATABASE ALSO THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WITH THE IPDM BOX WHICH IS DEFECTIVE ACCORDING TO THE NISSAN PAGES ON FACEBOOK AND OTHER SITES, WHERE THE WHITE IPDM BOX IS DEFECTIVE AND CAUSES POWER LOSS AND LIGHTS NOT WORKING ALONG WITH CAR STALLING WHILE DRIVING, IT IS APPARENTLY A DEFECT AND THE COST TO REPLACE IT IS OVER I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF THE XTERRA TRANSMISSION COOLER DEFECT OR RECALL BACK IN 2019, IVE OWNED THIS XTERRA SINCE 2008 AND ITS BEEN TO THE DEALER FOR ANOTHER PREVIOUS RECALL, ALSO THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE WHITE IPDM BOX, (FUSE BOX) WHICH SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED, PER THE NISSAN OWNERS FACEBOOK PAGE, AND OTHER BLOGS THE IPDM CAUSES STALLING AND SHUTDOWNS OF ALL FUNCTIONS IN THE 2005-2014 NISSANS, CONSUMERS ARE HAVING TO PAY UPWARDS OF $600 TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THESE DEFECTIVE IPDM BOXES, THERE IS A KNOWN DEFECT WHICH WAS RECALLED YEARS AGO ABOUT A RELAY FOR THAT BOX, I BELIEVE MY XTERRA RELAY WAS FIXED, BUT I AM HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE VDC/ SLIP LIGHT COMING ON AND MY HEADLIGHTS GO ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. ACCORDING TO THE WEBSITES IT HAS TO DO WITH THE WHITE IPDM BOX UNDERNEATH WHERE THE WIRES ARE HARNESSED, THIS NEEDS TO BE ADRESSED IT IS A SAFETY HAZZARD WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY OR IN TOWN BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS TOTALLY DISABLED AND WILL CAUSE INJURY/DEATH IVE BEEN READING NISSAN PAGES TO FIND OUT WHY MY LIGHTS ARE GOING ON AND OFF, IVE REPALCED THE CAMSHAFT AND CRANKSHAFT POS SENSORS, NISSANS PREVIOUS RECALL FOR A DIODE APPARANTLY THIS DIDNT FIX IT, IT JUST MASKED THE SITUATION, READ UP ON NEWX.ORG ABOUT THIS PROBLEM
