MY NISSAN XTERRA 2005 HAS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM CAUSED BY COOLANT FLUID IN TRANSMISSION. THEY ARE CHARGING ME FOR A REBUILT TRANSMISSION $6,000.00. THIS IS WHAT MY CAR COSTS. IF THEY HAVE TOLD ME BEFORE ABOUT THE PROBLEM I COULD HAVE FIX IT FOR LITTLE MONEY. NOW THEY DON'T ANSWER MY CALLS. SHOULD I THROW MY CAR IN A JUNKER NOW? THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM CAUSED BY A DEFECT FROM THE CAR. THEY NEVER SEND ANY LETTERS REGARDING THIS TRANSMISSION PROBLEM.

THE CAR STARTED LOOSING POWER SINCE LAST TWO WEEKS. COUPLE OF DAYS BACK WHILE PARKING THE CAR COMPLETELY LOST THE POWER EVEN THOUGH IT WAS IN DRIVE. TODAY I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND DEALER DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A FAILED TRANSMISSION FLUID COOLER LOCATED IN THE RADIATOR ASSEMBLY THAT ALLOWED COOLANT TO MIX WITH AND CONTAMINATE THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID, RESULTING IN DAMAGED INTERNAL TRANSMISSION COMPONENTS AND A DAMAGED INTERNAL TRANSMISSION COMPUTER

COOLANT LEAKED OVER INTO TRANSMISSION. THIS SEEMS TO BE A BIG ISSUE WITH THESE VEHICLES. NOW NEED NEW TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR. YES THERE WAS A SLIGHT SETTLEMENT YEARS AGO BUT NO RECALL... THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. I HAVE NO MONEY TO FIX AND NOW CANT EVEN GET TO WORK TO EVEN TRY TO MAKE MONEY TO PAY FOR IT.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
JUNE 12 2016 AT THE TRI-PAR IN SLINGER, WI I WAS FILLING UP THE GAS TANK, WHEN GAS BEGAN SPILLING OUT OF THE VEHICLE'S WHEEL WELL. I IMMEDIATELY STOPPED IT AFTER I NOTICED IT. THE STATION ALONG WITH THE SLINGER FIRE DEPARTMENT ESTIMATED A GALLON WAS SPILT. IT APPEARS THE GAS TANK NECK HAS RUSTED OUT, CAUSING THE SPILL. THEY DEEMED THE VEHICLE NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AND RECOMMEND WE HAVE IT TOWED HOME, WHICH WE DID.

RADIATOR LEAKING FLUID INTO TRANSMISSION, DESTROYED THE TRANSMISSION. HAVE TO PURCHASE A NEW ONE AND ADD AN EXTERNAL COOLING SYSTEM SO IT DOES NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. $4800. MILEAGE IS 109K. NISSAN'S FORCED EXTENDED WARRANTY EXPIRED SO NO HELP FROM THEM. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE BY NISSAN DUE TO FAULTY DESIGN. NISSAN ALSO SAID "IT MIGHT HAPPEN TO CERTAIN TRANSMISSIONS", BUT IN FACT HAPPENS TO ALL XTERRA TRANSMISSIONS AT LEAST FOR 2006. NISSAN HAS HAD TOO MANY ENGINE/DRIVE TRAIN ISSUES ON THE MANY NISSAN'S I HAVE PURCHASED OVER THE YEARS. I WILL NOT BE PURCHASING ANOTHER NISSAN.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I HAVE A FUEL GAUGE PROBLEM EXACTLY AS DESCRIBED IN THE NYSSA XTERRA RECALL, GAUGE REACHES 3/4 TANK BUT WON'T GO LOWER. THEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN IT DROPS TO EMPTY. MY LOCAL NISSAN, ALLEN JAY NISSAN SAYS MY VIN IS NOT COVERED IN THE RECALL AND THEY AREN'T FIXING THE PROBLEM, THEY JUST EXTENDED THE WARRANTY. WELL MY CAR IS 10YEARS OLD AND NO LONGER HAS A WARRANTY AT 182,000 MILES. I WON'T PAY $400 TO GET IT FIXED BECAUSE IT IS A KNOWN DEFECT AND THEY NEED TO FIX IT. WHO DO I CONTACT AT NISSAN TO FIGHT THIS INJUSTICE?

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
CRACKED RADIATOR LEAKED COOLANT INTO THE TRANSMISSION COOLER DESTROYING THE TRANSMISSION, TRANSMISSION COOLER, AND RADIATOR AT ABOUT 109,000 MILES IN TRAFFIC. APPARENTLY, THIS IS A KNOW ISSUE WITH 2005-2010 NISSAN XTERRAS, FRONTIERS, AND PATHFINDERS. AS PART OF A SETTLEMENT TO A CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT, NISSAN OFFERED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY UP TO 10 YEARS / 100,000 MILES, WHICHEVER COMES FIRST (ALTHOUGH AN INTERNET SEARCH SAYS THE AVERAGE MILEAGE AT WHICH THIS PROBLEM OCCURS IS 95,000 MILES). NISSAN NOR ITS DEALERSHIP NEVER NOTIFIED ME OF THE DEFECT OR THE EXTENDED WARRANTY SO NOW I'M TRYING TO DECIDE IF I FORK OUT $6100 FOR THE REPAIRS OR TRADE-IN THE VEHICLE.

THIS CAR GAVE ME NO WARNING, I WAS DRIVING AND THE CAR STOPPED AND I WAS TOLD I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION DUE TO A SENSOR IN THE TRANSMISSION GOING OUT AND MIXING OIL WITH THE COOLANT WHICH CAUSED THE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR NEEDING TO BE REPLACED. NOW A FAMILY OF 5 HAS ONE CAR LIVING PAY CHECK TO PAY CHECK AND NO WAY TO FINANCE ANOTHER CAR OT BUY ONE

THE WELL KNOWN LEAKING RADIATOR ISSUE THAT HAS LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND HAS DESTROYED MY TRANSMISSION. BOTH MUST BE REPLACED. BUT OF COURSE IT IS BEYOND THE WARRANTY COVERED DATES. SINCE THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE. IT SHOULD BE COVERED 100%, SHAME ON NISSAN FOR IGNORING THE ISSUE. WHEN SITES ARE POSTING "AVOID AT ALL COST", SHOULD BECOME A FEDERAL INVESTIGATION. I WILL NOT PURCHASE ANOTHER NISSAN.
