VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, POWER TRAIN
SUDDENLY THE CAR (AUTOMATIC) WAS REVVING HIGH AND NOT SHIFTING INTO NEXT GEAR AND STARTING MAKING AHIGHER PITCHED NOISE AND THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT THEN CAME ON. I DROVE TO A GAS STATION AND BEFORE FULLY PULLING IN, MY CAR WOULD NOT GO INTO DRIVE, REVVED HIGH AND STARTED SMOKING. I HAD TO GET TOWED AND MY CAR IS NOW GOING TO NEED A COMPLETE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR. NISSAN IS SAYING SINCE I AM PASSED THE EXTENDED 10 YEAR WARRANTY OR 100,000 MILES, THERE IS NOTHING MORE THEY WILL DO ABOUT IT. CURRENTLY AM BEING TRANSFERRED TO SEE IF SOMEONE ELSE CARES ENOUGH ABOUT NISSANS IMAGE AS WELL AS THEIR DRIVERS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. I HAVE BEEN QUOTED IT WILL COST $5100 TO REPAIR THIS NISSAN KNOWN ISSUE. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM:RADIATOR ASSEMBLY, POWER TRAIN
I WAS INFORMED BY THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT RADIATOR FLUID HAD CONTAMINATED TRANSMISSION FLUID IN MY 2005 NISSAN XTERRA. THIS DEFECT IN THE RADIATOR WAS KNOWN TO OCCUR IN HIGH MILEAGE VEHICLES SUCH AS MINE AND WAS KNOWN TO NISSAN AS THEY EXTENDED A SERVICE WARRANTY TO 100,000 MILES. UNFORTUNATELY, MY VEHICLE'S MILEAGE IS OVER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND I AM NOW RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST OF THE REPAIRS. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AS THE TRANSMISSION PLAYS A VITAL ROLE IN THE ABILITY FOR THE VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE INTO AND ACROSS TRAFFIC ON BUSY HIGHWAYS AND ROADS. THE INABILITY TO DO SO PROPERLY WITH A DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION MAY LEAD TO ACCIDENTS. NOT TO MENTION THAT THE CONTAMINATED RADIATOR COOLANT MAY NOT ACCOMPLISH THE INTENDED GOAL OF COOLING ENGINE COMPONENTS LEADING TO OVER HEATING AND ENGINE DYSFUNCTION. I FEEL STRONGLY THAT NISSAN NEW ABOUT THE DEFECT AND DID NOT TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION TO NOTIFY CONSUMERS TO HAVE THE RADIATORS REPLACED PRIOR TO HAVING COMPLICATIONS FROM THE DEFECTIVE PARTS. *JS

DEFECTIVE FUEL GAUGE SENSOR. WAS NOT AWARE THAT THERE WAS A RECALL PERIOD TO HAVE SENSOR CHECKED OUT AND FIXED FOR FREE. GRACE PERIOD HAS EXPIRED AND DEALERSHIP WHICH IS LOKEY NISSAN NOW WANTS TO CHARGE US NEARLY $700 DOLLARS TO FIX. IF WE HAD KNOWN ABOUT THIS DEFECT EARLIER VIA ANY TYPE OF COMMUNICATION, WE WOULD HAVE HAD VEHICLE CHECKED OUT. SINCE WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM SAID DEALERSHIP, WE WOULD HAVE EXPECTED SOME SORT OF NOTICE CONCERNING THIS FLAW. WE HAVE HAD OUR SHARE OF PROBLEMS THAT SHOULD NOT HAVE OCCURRED WITH SUCH LOW MILEAGE, BUT THIS IS OVER THE TOP. *JS

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM:RADIATOR ASSEMBLY
ON 9/13/2013 I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO ALAN WEBB NISSAN TO INVESTIGATE SOME TRANSMISSION SLIPPING THAT I HAD EXPERIENCED THE PREVIOUS DAY. ON 9/16/2013 I WAS INFORMED THAT MY TRANSMISSION HAD BECOME CONTAMINATED WITH RADIATOR COOLANT AND MY TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACE AT THE COST OF $5300.00 PLUS APPLICABLE TAX. I WAS FURTHER INFORMED THAT THIS WAS KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS GENERATION VEHICLE BUT THAT NISSAN ONLY PROVIDED REPAIR ASSISTANCE FOR VEHICLES WITH LESS THAN 100K MILES ON THEM AND I WAS THEREFOR REQUIRED TO PAY THE FULL AMOUNT. IT WAS ONLY LATER THROUGH ONLINE RESEARCH THAT I DISCOVERED THAT A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT HAD BEEN THE ONLY REASON THEY PROVIDED ANY REPAIR ASSISTANCE. I ALSO NOTED THAT THE VASTT MAJORITY OF REPORTED CASES WERE FOR VEHICLES OVER THE 100K MARK. 1. IF THIS WAS A KNOWN DEFECT THAT AFFECTED MILLIONS OF VEHICLES WHY WASN'T NISSAN FORCED TO PERFORM A RECALL AND REPLACE THE RADIATORS. 2. WHY WAS I NOT AS A MINIMUM INFORMED OF THE DEFECT WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE WITH 74K MILES ON IT. WITH LESS THAN 80K ON THEM NISSAN WOULD REPAIR THE PROBLEM AT THEIR COST. 3. IF THE PROBLEMS ARE NOT AS A RULE HAPPENING TO VEHICLES UNTIL THEY GO OVER 100K MILES THEN WHY CAP THE ASSISTANCE REQUIREMENT. 4. NOW THAT IT IS RECOGNIZED BY THE COURTS AS A KNOWN FAILURE WHY ARE THE CONSUMERS PAYING ANYTHING TO DO THESE REPAIRS WHN IT COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED WITH A $200.00 RADIATOR AND AN HOURS LABOR. I FIND THIS VERY DISHONEST THAT NISSAN WAS NOT FORCED BY THE COURTS OR THE NHTSA TO DO A FULL RECALL OR DISCLOSURE TO OWNERS. IF SO MANY VEHICLES ARE ON THE ROAD WHICH CAN HAVE A MAJOR TRANSMISSION FAILURE AT ANY TIME WHY HASN'T THE NHTSA FORCED NISSAN TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT? THIS MAY NOT BE AS HAZARDOUS AS FUEL TANKS RUPTURING BUT I WOULD THINK THAT A VEHICLE THAT HAS A TRANSMISSION FAILURE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS SHOULD BE OF CONCERN. *JS

POWER TRAIN
WHILE DRIVING OUR 2006 NISSAN XTERRA AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 40 AND 65 MPH THE VEHICLE STARTED LOSING POWER AND NOT SHIFTING BETWEEN GEARS CORRECTLY. AT STOP SIGNS IT WOULD START OUT AND REV HIGH AND THEN NOT SHIFT AGAIN. THE TRANSMISSION STOPPED WORKING WHILE ON THE FREEWAY. AFTER LETTING IT SIT FOR A PERIOD OF TIME THE TRAINSMISSION WOULD ENGAGE FOR A SHORT TIME AND STOPPED AGAIN. FINALLY HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED HOW OVER 50 MILES. WAITING UNTIL MONDAY (HAPPEN ON A LATE SATURDAY) TO GET VEHICLE TO FAMILY MECHANIC. TRIED TO SPEAK TO NISSAN DEALERSHIPS AND GOT NO HELP. WE HAD THE VEHICLE LOOKED AT BY FAMILY MECHANIC AT LEAST TWICE BEFORE FOR THE VEHICLE HAVE SYMPTOMS OF POWER LOSS AND SLUGGISH GEAR CHANGE AND IT WAS SO INTERMITENT THAT NOTHING COULD BE DETECTED IN THE PAST.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
DRIVING XTERRA ON HIGHWAY WHEN SUV STARTED TO HESITATE WHEN MOVING FORWARD IN TRAFFIC....SUV WOULD HESITATE, REV...AND NOT SHIFT OUT OF GEAR EASILY UPON ACCELERATION. TOOK SUV TO MECHANIC AND FOUND OUT THE RADIATORS ENGINE COOLANT WAS LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION FLUID CAUSING THE PROBLEM. I LUCKED OUT AND DID NOT DAMAGE THE TRANSMISSION, HOWEVER; I AM HAVING TO REPLACE THE RADIATOR DUE TO THE NISSAN KNOWN DEFECT. I WAS NEVER GIVEN ANY LETTERS OR NOTIFIED ABOUT THIS MECHANICAL PROBLEM AND NOW WILL BE PAYING UNDER A $900 FOR FLUID FLUSH, NEW RADIATOR AND NEW FLUIDS. THIS IS NOT OK FOR NISSAN TO NOT NOTIFY THE VEHICLE OWNERS!!!! I EXPECT REPAYMENT FROM NISSAN ON THEIR FAULTY MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT. *TR

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
THE TRANSMISSION IS FAILING DUE TO THE TRANSMISSION COOLER INSIDE THE RADIATOR ALLOWING COOLANT TO GET INTO THE TRANSMISSION CAUSING A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND THAT NISSAN KNEW IT WAS FROM A DEFECT IN THE RADIATOR. I'VE SEEN ONLINE THAT MANY PEOPLE WITH A 2005-2010 XTERRA, FRONTIER AND PATHFINDER WITH THE 4.0 V6 ENGINE ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM *TR

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM DESCRIBED IN YOUR CURRENT INVESTIGATION OF THESE MODELS. AN ATF LINE EMBEDDED IN THE RADIATOR CRACKED, AND ATF FLUID WAS ALLOWED INTO THE COOLANT, AND COOLANT WAS FORCED INTO THE ATF. THE CARD STARTED SLIPPING IN GEAR, THEN IT STARTED SHUDDERING UNDER ACCELERATION, THEN IT STARTED REFUSING TO GO INTO GEAR. I GOT IT TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP, AND WHEN THEY OPENED IT UP, THE GUTS OF THE TRANSMISSION WERE RUSTED, AND THE CLUTCHES HAD DE-LAMINATED. THE COOLING SYSTEM WAS NEARLY PLUGGED UP WITH OILY TRANSMISSION RESIDUE. THE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE COMPLETELY REBUILT, AND THE RADIATOR AND ALL ASSOCIATED HOSES HAD TO BE REPLACED. ALL IN ALL, A $5500 FIX FOR A PROBLEM THAT SHOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED. *TR

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHEN I DROVE IT TO WORK, THERE WERE A FEW DELAYS WHILE SHIFTING GEARS. AFTER HALF HOUR DRIVING IT, I HEARD WATER SPLASHING SOUNDS. I TURNED OFF THE RADIO AND I HEARD THE SPLASHING SOUNDS EVEN MORE CLEAR. IN THE SAME TIME, I SMELLED ELECTRONIC BURNT LIKE SMELLS. SINCE I WAS ON THE EXPRESS WAY, I COULDN'T STOP RIGHT AWAY. THEN, 15 MINUTES LATER OR A TOTAL OF 45 MINUTES DRIVING IT, THERE WERE SMOKES FROM THE FRONT. I WAS SO SHOCK AND WORRY IF THE CAR WAS GOING TO BLOW UP. I FELT PANIC BECAUSE I COULDN'T JUST STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DRIVING LANES. THANKFULLY, OTHER CARS SLOWED DOWN FOR ME AND LET ME PASSED. I PULLED UP IN THE NEARBY DAIRY DEPOT'S PARKING LOT, BUT I WAS 20 MINUTES AWAY FROM MY WORKPLACE'S CITY. IT WAS SO COLD AND WINDY, BUT SINCE I WAS WORRY IF THE CAR WOULD BLOW UP, I GOT OUT AND STOOD IN THE COLD. ALSO, THE TOW TRUCK WAS DELAYED FOR 2 HOURS AND I HAD TO MISSED WORK. THE CAR SHOP TOLD ME THAT THE RADIATOR CAUSES THE TRANSMISSION ISSUES AND ALL FLUIDS ARE MIXED TOGETHER. WHEN I RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE, I CAME ACROSS MANY OTHERS WHO HAD THE SAME ISSUE. I AM SHOCKED THAT IT'S VERY COMMON. I FEEL SO DISCOURAGE TO EVER TRUST NISSAN AGAIN. THIS CAR WAS MY INVESTMENT AS I HAVE $7000 LOAN REMAINING ON IT AND I JUST FIXED ALL FOUR SHAFTS FOR $1000. I HAVE ALWAYS DONE COMPREHENSIVE MAINTENANCE TO IT. SO, WHERE DID I GO WRONG? HOW CAN NISSAN DOES THIS? WHY THERE WAS NO RECALL THAT WOULD HAVE REGAINED CUSTOMERS' TRUST THAT IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE NISSAN??? WHY NISSAN HAS TO WAIT FOR A MOUNTAIN OF COMPLAINTS BEFORE AGREED TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY AND EVEN THAT WAS ONLY FOR THOSE UNDER 100K MILEAGE? DOES IT MEAN THAT NISSAN CAN'T MAKE A CAR THAT LAST MORE THAN 100K??? NOT ONLY NISSAN JEOPARDIZES MY SAFETY AND OTHERS, NOW MY INVESTMENT IN NISSAN HAS TURNED INTO A CHUNK OF DEBT FOR ME. THIS IS SO WRONG!!! *TR

POWER TRAIN
BACK IN JANUARY OUR 2006 NISSAN XTERRA, ON OCCASION, STARTED MAKING A SOUND LIKE IT WAS RUNNING OVER SEVERAL ROAD BUMPS. IT WOULD STOP SHORTLY THEREAFTER. I TOOK IT TO OUR FAMILY MECHANIC THINKING IT WAS A U-JOINT OR SOMETHING ALONG THOSE LINES. HE COULDN'T FIGURE IT OUT. IT BEGAN TO HAPPEN A BIT MORE OFTEN SO WE STOPPED DRIVING IT UNTIL OUR HOUSE SOLD. FINALLY, THE HOUSE SOLD AND WHEN WE WERE BRINGING IT TO OUR NEW CONDO IT OVERHEATED. WE HAD IT TOWED TO NISSAN WHO INFORMED US THAT THE TRANSMISSION FLUID HAD CROSS CONTAMINATED WITH THE RADIATOR FLUID, DESTROYING BOTH. THE ESTIMATE WAS OVER $14,000. THE SERVICE PERSON INFORMED ME THAT NISSAN WAS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THIS AND A COUPLE OF OTHER MAKES. NOW IT IS IN A CLASS ACTION SUIT, AND MY CAR SITS WHILE I CONTINUE TO PAY IT OFF. WHAT CAN I DO TO JOIN THE LAWSUIT? THIS IS CLEARLY A SITUATION THAT NISSAN NEEDS TO FIX. I WOULD NEVER HAD BOUGHT THE CAR IF I HAD KNOWN THERE WAS EVEN THE MOST REMOTE CHANCE THAT THIS COULD HAPPEN. THEY HAVE STATED THEY "CAN'T" DO ANYTHING UNTIL THE LAWSUIT IS RESOLVED. ITS UNFATHOMABLE TO ME THAT THEY SIMPLY WOULDN'T HAVE THESE CARS FIXED DURING EACH AND EVERY INCIDENT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP. *TR

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
2006 NISSAN XTERRA WITH 95000 MILES. FELT A VIBRATION AT 40 MPH AND AFTER DOING RESEARCH ONLINE, TOOK IT IN TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR FLUSHED. FOUND OUT THAT THE RADIATOR LEAKED COOLANT WHICH FOUND ITS WAY INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND HAS ALL BUT DESTROYED IT. CURRENTLY AT THE TRANSMISSION SHOP LOOKING AT A $5K PLUS BILL TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR. THIS HAS HAPPENED ENOUGH THAT THE NATIONAL TRANSMISSION SHOP SELLS A PACKAGE FOR NISSAN VEHICLES TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE. NOT HAPPY. WAS RECENTLY CONSIDERING BUYING A SECOND NISSAN BUT NOT ANYMORE AS THEY ARE FAILING TO ADDRESS THIS WELL DOCUMENTED ISSUE. *TR

DUE TO A FAULTY DESIGN BY THE MANUFACTURER, TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKED INTO THE RADIATOR AND CAUSED COMPLETE FAILURE OF THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION. BECAUSE MY VEHICLE HAD OVER 100,000 MILES IT IS NOT COVERED IN ANY WAY BY WARRANTY AND THERE WAS NO RECALL ISSUED. I AM NOW FACING A CAR THAT IS WORTH $7000 OR SO AND NEEDS MORE THAN THAT IN REPAIRS. MY VEHICLE IS TOTALED THANKS TO A FAULTY DESIGN THAT HAS BEEN WELL DOCUMENTED BY THE MANUFACTURER, BUT THEY WILL DO ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO HELP. IF THEY HAD SIMPLY ISSUED A RECALL ON THE RADIATOR WHEN THE PROBLEM FIRST BECAME KNOWN, THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN AND EASY $500 FIX, INSTEAD I AM LEFT WITH A WORTHLESS VEHICLE AND INSUFFICIENT FUNDS TO REPAIR IT OR GET A NEW ONE. I COULD NOT BE MORE ANGRY AND DISAPPOINTED WITH NISSAN AND THEIR HANDLING OF THIS SITUATION. NEEDLESS TO SAY I WILL NEVER BE BUYING FROM THEM AGAIN AND I WILL SUGGEST THE SAME TO ANYONE WHO WILL LISTEN. *TR

OUR RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION BROKE,CAUSING OUR CAR TO STALL, ON VACATION, IN THE MIDDLE OF UTAH. APPARENTLY NISSAN IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM BUT THE WARRANTY IS TOO LIMITED TO COVER NISSAN XTERRAS SUFFERING FROM THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM! IT'S NOT JUST US!!! WE USE OUR XTERRA FOR OFF ROADING (AS ITS INTENDED FOR!) AND A BUSTED TRANSMISSION PUT ALL OF US AT RISK! WE DID NOT DO ANYTHING CRAZY BUT YOU NEED A SAFE TRANSMISSION ON HILLS. AFTER OVER $1000 IN TOWING EXPENSES WE GOT TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHERE WE WERE INFORMED THAT THERE IS NOTHING WE COULD HAVE DONE TO PREVENT THIS. LATER WE RESEARCHED AND FOUND OUT IT IS A COMMON DEFECT IN CARS LIKE OURS. *TR

2006 NISSAN XTERRA 4X4 - BOUGHT NEW - ONLY OWNER - PERFECTLY MAINTAINED AFTER READING ALL THE INFORMATION FROM NISSAN WE THOUGHT SINCE WE HADN'T HAD ISSUES THAT WE WERE SAFE. NOT TO MENTION THAT OUR XTERRA WAS OVER THE MILEAGE THAT WOULD QUALIFY US FOR THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. OUR TRANSMISSION JUST QUIT LEAVING US STRANDED AWAY FROM HOME WITH OUR TWO CHILDREN. 130,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. WE CONTACTED NISSAN ONLY TO GET AN EMAIL SAYING THEY COULD NOT HELP US WITH OUR ISSUE. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE! AN INTERNAL CRACK ON THE OIL COOLER TUBE SO WHY ARE THEY NOT STANDING BEHIND THEIR VEHICLES? WE HAVE BEEN DIE HARD NISSAN FANS SINCE PURCHASING OUR XTERRA IN 2006! WE EVEN OWN A TITAN TOO. WE WERE CONTEMPLATING ADDING A NISSAN JUKE TO OUR NISSAN COLLECTION. HOWEVER NOW WE DO NOT FEEL WE CAN TRUST NISSAN NOR DO WE LIKE THE FACT THAT THEY ARE NOT STANDING BEHIND THEIR VEHICLES. WE WONT PURCHASE ANOTHER NISSAN EVER.
