VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE FRONT WINDOWS OF MY NISSAN XTERRA, I BOUGHT THE CAR TWO MONTHS AGO AND THE FRONT WINDOWS STOPPED WORKING TWICE ALREADY. I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE WINDOW REGULATORS IN THE XTERRAS AND THAT NISSAN DOES NOT HAVE A RECALL OR EVEN HAS A SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM OTHER THAN HAVING TO CHANGE THE SAME PART OVER AND OVER. AS WE ALL KNOW WE BUY NEW CARS FOR THEIR DEPENDABILITY NOT BECAUSE WE LIKE THE PAYMENTS! *LA

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:ALTERNATOR/GENERATOR/REGULATOR
NISSAN XTERRA'S WINDOW REGULATORS ARE FAULTY. I HAD TWO OF MINE REPLACED IN 2 YEARS AND THE THIRD ONE JUST BROKE. NISSAN ADMITS THAT THIS IS A COMMON COMPLAINT BUT IS NOT RECALLING THE EQUIPMENT. I AM OUT OF WARRANTY AND I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR IT IF I GET IT FIXED. EVERY NISSAN XTERRA USER HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM AND ATLEAST 2 WINDOW REGULATORS HAVE BEEN REPLACED ON EACH 2001 MODELS. ITS TIME NISSAN RECALLED THE EQUIPMENT.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:LINKAGES
I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 65MPH. WHEN ENCOUNTERING SLOWER MOVING TRAFFIC I ATTEMPTED TO SLOW DOWN BY APPLYING MY BRAKES.THE VEHCILE WOULD NOT SLOW DOWN. I TRIED AGAIN IT WOULD NOT SLOW DOWN. I STEERED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY. I PLACED THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND THE ENGINE ROARED THE RPM INDICATOR WAS IN THE RED ZONE AND WOLD NOT COME DOWN AS THE VEHICLE CONTINUED DOWN THE BERM OF THE FREEWAY. I TURNED OFF THE IGNITION AND THE VEHCILE EVENTUALLY SLOWED TO A STOP.TREMBLING I CALLED MY FATHER, WHEN HE ARRIVED HE CHECKED UNDER THE HOOD AND DISCOVERED THAT THE THROTTLE ASSEMBLY CONTROLLING THE FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM JAMMED AND LOCKED U THE VEHICLE A 2000 NISSAN EXTERRA WAS TAKEN TO THE BOARDMAN, OHIO NISSAN DEALER. THEY DID NOT REACT TOO CONCERNED REGARDING MY NARROW ESCAPE WITH POSSIBLE INJURY OR DEATH AND GREASED THE ASSEMBLY AND SAID IT SHOULD BE OKAY. I WANTED THE ASSEMBLY REPLACED THEY CLAIMED IT DID NOT RQUIRE REPLACEMENT. I THOUGHT IT BEST THAT I REPORT THIS INCIDENT TO YOUR AGENCY.

THE FOLLOWING GAUGES DO NOT WORK ON MY DASH: SPEEDOMETER, TACHOMETER, ENGINE TEMPERATURE, FUEL, ODOMETER, AND OIL GAUGES. THE CRUISE CONTROL DOES NOT WORK AND THE ANTI-THEFT DEVICE ARMS ITSELF AT ANY TIME IT WANTS TO, THE HAZARDS LIGHTS RANDOMLY FLASH AS I AM DRIVING. ALL OF THE PROBLEMS OCCURRED WITHIN ONE YEAR OF PURCHASE. THE CAR HAS BEEN SERVICED SEVERAL TIMES CONCERNING THESE PROBLEMS AT KENDRICK NISSAN, YET THEY STILL CONTINUE TO OCCUR. NOW I AM BEING TOLD THAT I HAVE TO PAY, AGAIN, TO HAVE IT DIAGNOSED FOR THE SAME PROBLEMS I HAVE BEEN HAVING FOR PAST TWO YEARS. *JB

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I HAVE A 2002 NISSAN XTERRA THAT HAD BRAKE SQUEALS SINCE ABOUT 9000 MILES. I HAVE REPEATEDLY TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THE PROBLEM FIXED/INSPECTED. I WAS TOLD THAT THE SQUEAL IS A RESULT OF THE TYPE OF BRAKES AND THAT THEY WERE JUST COLD. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE BRAKES SQUEAL ALL THE TIME. I WAS THEN TOLD ON ANOTHER VISIT THAT IT WAS THE DRIVE BELT AND NOT THE BRAKES. AFTER THIS SERVICE THE SQUEAL WAS STILL THERE. I TOOK IT BACK YET AGAIN AND THEY DID ANOTHER BRAKE INSPECTION AND SAID THAT WHEN I DO MY BRAKES THEY WILL HAVE TO SPIN THE ROTORS AND THIS SHOULD FIX THIS. THE PROBLEM I HAVE IS THAT I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS FIX SINCE IT'S BEEN ON GOING FOR ALMOST A YEAR.

THE WINDOW REGULATORS IN ALL 4 WINDOWS OF MY 2001 XTERRA HAVE ALL FAILD REPEATEDLY. THE DRIVERS WINDOW HAS FAILED 4 TIMES AND ALL OTHER WINDOWS HAVE BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES. NOW TODAY THE WINDOW REGULATOR IN THE DRIVERS SIDE HAS FAILED AGAIN AND I AM 300 MILES OUT OF WARRANTY. THE DEALER INDICATED TO ME THAT THIS IS CONSIDERED A NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR ITEM AND NO LONGER COVERED. THE DEALER ALSO INDICATED THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT NISSAN IS AWARE OF AND SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS "ALL THE TIME" WITH THE XTERRA.
