  I HAVE A 2007 NISSAN XTERRA BROUGHT USED @ CARMAX OF WHITE MARSH MD. I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR 3YRS NOW AND HAVE HAD ITS REGULAR CHECK AND ROUTINE OIL CHANGE. IN NOVEMBER THE CAR STARTED WITH THIS STRANGE AND LOAD NOISE. I HAD NEW TIERD REPLACED AND TOOK IT BACK TO THE PLACE TO SEE IF THAT WAS THE PROBLEM, AFTER PERSISTENCE AND TAKING THE CAR BACK BECAUSE IT WOULD SKIP AND PULL. THE AUTOSHOP DID A DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE RADIATOR FLUID WAS LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION CAUSING THE CAR TO LOOSE SOME POWER ALONG WITH THE HEADER NOT WORKING EITHER. I CALLED NISSAN AND TOLD THEM THE PROBLEM. WELL THEY SENT ME A LETTER TELLING ME ABOUT AN INTERNAL MEMO THEY HAD REGARDING THIS SAME ISSUE. I WAS ADVISED TO TAKE IT TO A NISSAN DEALER TO SEE IF IN FACT THAT WAS THE CASE. I DID AND IT WAS I SPOKE TO SOMEONE IN THEIR CONSUMER AFFAIRS DEPARTMENT WHO EXPLAINED THAT BECAUSE MY CAR WAS OVER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AMOUNT THAT HEY HAD INCREASED IT TO I WOULD HAVE TO PAY A DEDUCTIBLE OUT OF POCKET.... HERE IS MY MAJOR PROBLEM THE WARRANTY WAS EXTENDED TO 80,000 MILES MY CAR HAS 93,000 MILE. THEY WILL REPLACE THE RADIATOR IF I PAY A DEDUCTIBLE OD $1000.00.. WHY SHOULD I PAY FOR A MANUFACTURE ERROR.? PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME I CAN NOT AFFORD TO DRIVE THIS CAR OR PAY SUCH HIGH DEDUCTIBLE. NISSAN NEEDS TO PAY FOR THE ENTIRE REPAIR.... I HAVE NOT GOTTEN IT FIXED BECAUSE THEY WANT ME TO PAY $1000.00. WHICH I DO NOT HAVE. *TR

• 12/28/2009· FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

  PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2007 XTERRA IN NOVEMBER 2006. IN THE SUMMER OF 2009 AT ABOUT 33,000 MILES I RAN OUT OF GAS IN THE GAS STATION PARKING LOT WHEN THE GAS GAUGE READ THAT I STILL HAD A COUPLE OF MILES TO EMPTY. SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I COULD NOT GET RID OF IT. A FRIEND AND LOCAL MECHANIC SAID THAT THE FUEL SENSOR WAS BROKEN. THE VEHICLE HAD EXCEEDED THE WARRANTY MILEAGE AND THE DEALER WOULD NOT FIX IT FOR FREE. THIS WEEKEND ON CHRISTMAS EVE I RAN OUT OF GAS ON THE HIGHWAY AFTER WRITING DOWN HOW MANY MILES I HAD LEFT UNTIL EMPTY. ACCORDING TO THE MILEAGE I HAD WRITTEN WHEN I FILLED UP, I STILL HAD ABOUT 70 MILES TO EMPTY BUT WITH THE COLD WEATHER, ETC. THE CAR MUST HAVE USED UP MORE GAS THAN USUAL. LUCKILY, NO ONE WAS HURT BUT THIS POSED AN EXTREME DANGER TO US GIVEN THAT THE CAR STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY HIGHWAY. ACCORDING TO SEVERAL OTHER XTERRA OWNERS, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH XTERRAS BUT NISSAN HAS ISSUED NO RECALL. *TR

  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

  MY NISSAN 2007 XTERRA HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH THE FUEL GAUGE. I FIRST NOTICED IN LATE AUGUST OF 2010 MY SERVICE E GINE SOON LIGHT (SES) COME ON AND IT WAS NOT UNTIL A FEW WEEKS LATER I TOOK IN MY CAR AND WAS TOLD MY FUEL GAUGE WAS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. I HAVE BEEN NOW DOING RESEARCH AND HAVE JUST LEARNED THAT MANY OTHERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM AS I AM. MY GAUGE WILL MARK EMPTY AFTER I HAVE FILLED UP MY TANK AND SHOW A FULL TANK AT ABOUT 50 MILES AFTER I HAVE FILLED UP THE TANK. MY GAUGE WILL ALSO GO ON E WHEN IT IS AT 1/4 OF A TANK AND EVEN AT A HALF TANK NEVER KNOWING EXACTLY HOW MUCH GAS IS IN THE TANK. I ALSO READ ONLINE THAT THE 2007 XTERRAS HAVE A RECALL ON THE FUEL SYSTEM AND I BELIEVE THEY SHOULD BE REPLACED TO ANYONE WHO IS EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM FREE OF CHARGE. THIS IS A SERIOUS MATTER AND COULD END IN ACCIDENTS AND POSSIBLE DEATHS. LETS SEE IF THIS HAPPENS AND WE ALL GET IT REPLACED AS I ALSO FOUND THIS INFORMATION ONLINE FROM A WEBSITE. DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT INSIDE THE FUEL TANK WITH A NEW ONE THAT HAS A MODIFIED FLOAT ARM. THIS SERVICE WILL BE PERFORMED FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN ON OR BEFORE MARCH 22, 2010.

  THE FUEL GAUGE IN OUR XTERRA DOES NOT READ ACCURATELY. WE WERE TOLD IT NEEDS A FUEL SENSOR. EVEN WHEN THE TANK IS FULL WE HAVE TO TRACK THE NUMBER OF MILES TRAVELED BECAUSE THE GAUGE FLOATS OR READS "EMPTY." I HAVE READ OVER 30 SIMILAR COMPLAINTS JUST ON THIS SITE. AN INVESTIGATION SHOULD BE LAUNCHED SINCE THIS WAS A PROBLEM FOR VEHICLES UP TO 2006 AS WELL. OBVIOUSLY IT WASN'T FIXED FOR 2007.

  I OWN A 2007 NISSAN XTERRA IT HAS 76,000 MILES ON IT. THE FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. WHEN I HAVE 1/4, 1/2 TANK OF GAS, SOMETIMES 3/4 TANK OF GAS THE GAUGE DROPS TO EMPTY AND THE SERVICE ENGINE LITE COMES ON. THIS PROBLEM STARTED AT AROUND 56,000 MI. I HAVE READ ON LINE THAT HIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THE XTERRA DATING BACK TO 2003. SHOULD THIS NOT HAVE BEEN A RECALL BY NISSAN? FIXED 2006 AND 2008. WITH THE AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS, I THINK NISSAN SHOULD STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND CORRECT THE EXPENSIVE DEFICIENCY. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THEY CAN FIX A LATER MODEL. *TR

• 12/18/2013· 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

• 12/18/2012· POWER TRAIN,ENGINE

  LAST MONTH THE CAR SEEMED TO START SLIPPING GEARS WHEN I GOT UP TO AROUND 40 MILES PER HOUR. IT WAS SPORADIC AND ONCE I LET ME FOOT OFF THE GAS FOR A SECOND IT SEEMED TO CLEAR AND BE OK. I STARTED TO SEE A SLOW LEAK OF WHAT I THOUGHT WAS OIL IN THE GARAGE WHERE I PARKED THE YESTERDAY. WHEN I MENTIONED THE LEAK TO A BUDDY AND ALSO TOLD HIM THAT MY HEATER WAS NOT WORKING, HE SAID WE SHOULD CHECK THE COOLANT IN THE RADIATOR. WHEN WE OPENED THE RADIATOR CAP, THERE WAS A SLIMY BROWNISH SLUDGE ALL OVER THE BOTTOM OF THE CAP. THAT AFTERNOON, I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE MECHANIC ACROSS THE STREET AND HE SAID THAT I HAD A RADIATOR FAILURE OF SOME THAT HAS CAUSED RADIATOR FLUID TO GET INTO THE TRANSMISSION. THIS IS WHERE THE BROWN SLUDGE HAS COME FROM. HE SAID THE CAR NEEDED A NEW RADIATOR AND THE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE FLUSHED, DROPPED, AND SERVICED AND IT WOULD NOT GUARANTEE THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED SOMETIME SOON AFTER. THE ENTIRE THING HE QUOTED ME AS COSTING $3K. I CALLED MY NISSAN DEALER WHERE I HAD PURCHASED THE CAR FROM NEW IN APRIL 2007 AND THE GENTLEMAN IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SEEMED QUITE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND INFORMED ME THAT THE RADIATOR REPLACEMENT IS UNDER AND EXTENDED WARRANTY FROM NISSAN, BUT I WOULD STILL BE OUT OF POCKET FOR AT LEAST A $2500 CO-PAY FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE TRANSMISSION. *TR

  I BOUGHT MY 07 XTERRA 6 MONTHS AGO FROM TRANSITOWNE AMHERST AND THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. NOW 6 MONTHS DOWN THE ROAD THE TRANSMISSION HAS GONE TERMINAL DUE TO THE KNOWN PROBLEM WHERE COOLANT LEAKS INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND CAUSES IT TO FAIL. I BELIEVE ANY DEALERSHIP SHOULD HAVE CHECKED TO MAKE SURE THAT A VEHICLE THEY WERE SELLING WOULD NOT HAVE THIS ISSUE BEFORE THEY SELL IT. *TR

WHEN I ASK HIM IF HE IS SURE HE CONFIRM HE DOES FEW OF THIS EVERY MONTH AND THAT THE PROBLEM IS SO KNOWN THAT NISSAN HAS A SERVICE BULLETIN, WITH THE TITLE DESCRIBING THE ISSUE AND THE SYMPTOM ! HE HAS CONFIRM THE ISSUE IS WITH THE PLASTIC GUIDE THAT IS PART OF THE DESIGN . LOOKING ONLINE I FIND MANY NISSAN OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM . I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED WITH THE NISSAN BRAND AND NOT SURE WHAT TO DO , IF I REPLACE THE PART , WILL IT HAPPEN AGAIN AS IT IS A DESIGN ISSUE ? WHEN BUYING THE CAR, ONE OF THE SELLING POINT WAS THAT THE CAR DOES NOT HAVE A TIMING BELT ANYMORE BUT A CHAIN! THAT WILL MOST LIKELY ENGINE ITSELF . CALLING NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE DID NOT HELP AND I AM LEFT WITH A $2000 REPAIR DUE TO A KNOWN ISSUE AND BAD DESIGN. *TR

THEY TOLD ME FROM MCGAVOCK NISSAN THAT THEY COULD FIX IT FOR 5800.00 DOLLARS. THIS IS A SHAME THAT YOU DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT HELPING PEOPLE OUT AND GETTING THIS FIX.

  MY XTERRA WOULD NOT ACCELERATE FROM STOP TO START, THEN ONE LATE EVENING IT WOULD NOT START AT ALL. I HAD IT TOWED TO MY MECHANIC WHO SAID IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS SHORTING OUT THE FUSE TO START THE CAR. I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER MECHANIC FOR A SECOND OPINION, HE STATED THE SAME AND THIS WAS A KNOWN DEFECT IN XTERRA, HE ALSO SAID THAT IT WILL COST THOUSAND OF DOLLARS TO FIX AND EVEN WITH A NEW TRANSMISSION IT WILL LIKELY HAPPEN AGAIN BECAUSE THE ELECTRICITY WILL BURN OUT BECAUSE OF THE DEFECT. I CALLED NISSAN DEALERSHIP, WHO STATED THAT THEY KNEW ABOUT THE PROBLEM, BUT WAS GOING TO HELP FIX IT OR REIMBURSE ME ANYTHING. I WAS STRANDED WITH A SMALL TODDLER AT 10PM IN THE RAIN AND NO MEANS OF GETTING HOME THANKS TO NISSAN'S KNOWN DEFECT. *TR

  I PURCHASED MY FIRST VEHICLE IN JANUARY 2016 AT KIA DEPOT OF SANTA ANA (NOW KIA OF ORANGE).. AND I FEEL IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD. ONE MONTH AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, I NOTICED BATTERY CORROSION. ABOUT A WEEK LATER I WAS DRIVING AND THERE WAS A LOUD THUD THAT FORCED ME OFF THE ROAD ON A BUSY STREET AND I HAD TO CALL A TOW TRUCK. TURNS OUT THE EMERGENCY BREAK WAS COMPLETED RUSTED AND CRUMBLED AWAY FROM THE CAR - THIS WAS NOT THE ONLY THING THAT WAS RUSTED I DISCOVERED. THE ENTIRE UNDERCARRIAGE OF THE CAR IS TOTALLY COVERED AND BEING EATEN ALIVE BY RUST - THIS CAR WAS SOLD TO ME, BY KIA, AS A "AS IS" CAR - HOWEVER, I REFUSE TO LET THEM HID BEHIND THAT. SINCE I HAVE BOUGHT THIS CAR, WHICH WAS SOLD TO ME FOR A TOTAL OF $12,592.00,MONTHLY PAYMENTS OF $285.85- I FOUND OUT THAT IT WAS ACTUALLY SITTING IN NEW YORK AROUND THE TIME OF HURRICANE KATRINA - LEGALLY IF ITS FROM A DIFFERENT STATE, THEY DIDN'T HAVE TO DISCLOSE THAT TO ME & THEY DIDN'T. SO FAR I'VE HAD TO GET A NEW BATTERY, NEW BRAKES, EMERGENCY BRAKE IS GONE, NEW MUFFLER, NEW SWAY BAR, AC RECHARGED, AND JUST RECENTLY A PIECE OF THE LEAF SPRING UNDER THE TIRE COMPLETELY SNAPPED OFF AND BROKE IN HALF WHILE DRIVING - THESE GUYS SOLD ME A RUSTY NIGHTMARE AND THEY HAVE SINCE CLOSED UP SHOP. ALSO THE SALESMAN PADDED MY LOAN APPLICATION AND I JUST RECENTLY FOUND OUT THAT IS TOTALLY ILLEGAL - I DO NOT WANT TO WAIT UNTIL ANOTHER PIECE OF THIS THING FALLS APART ON ME AGAIN, I HAD MY 7 YEAR OLD NIECE IN THE CAR WITH ME THE FIRST TIME WHEN THE EMERGENCY BRAKE CRUMBLED. I HAVE LEFT REVIEWS AND COMPLAINTS - MY NEXT STEP IS A ATTORNEY.

RESULTS: THE CODES U1000, P1807 AND P0717 (TRANSMISSION) COST $4, 491,58. IN APRIL 2016, I HAD A LEAK FROM THE RADIATOR THAT RUINED THE TRANSMISSION. I INITIALLY HAD THE RADIATOR REPLACED AND THE TRANSMISSION FLUSHED, COST $1000 AT NISSAN DEALERSHIP. THIS WAS ONLY A BAND-AID HOWEVER, AND DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. 6 MONTHS LATER TRANSMISSION FAILED. NISSAN PUT THE CONSUMER UNDER THE BUS. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS CASE# 24403641 WITH NO ASSISTANT, DUE TO THE MILEAGE OF 100K EXCEEDS WARRANTY. NISSAN WAS AWARE OF THIS DEFAULT IN RADIATORS BACK IN 2007 AND DID NOT NOTIFY A RECALL TO THE CONSUMER. A CROSS CONTAMINATION WHERE COOLANT LEAKS INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND DESTROYS THE TRANSMISSION. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER NISSAN PRODUCT, DUE TO THIS ORDEAL AND VERY DIFFICULT SITUATION. I'VE ALWAYS MAINTAINED MY SUV ON ALL REQUIRED MAINTENANCE. NISSAN CORPORATION NEEDS TO ASSIST THE CONSUMER, AND THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND DEDUCTIBLE WAS A JOKE. THERE HAS BEEN OVER 2500 CONSUMERS AFFECTED BY THIS ISSUE.

WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET ALL OF THE SUDDEN I NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS MAKING A SOUND AS IF IT WERE NOT SHIFTING TO A HIGHER GEAR. I THEN NOTICED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A REPAIR SHOP AND THEY CHECKED THE ENGINE CODE AND THEY SAID IT WAS A TRANSMISSION ISSUE AND THAT WE NEEDED TO TAKE IT TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP.

ONCE I FOUND IT, I CALLED AND SENT THE COPY DIRECTLY TO THE DEALER. THEY CALLED ME THE FOLLOWING DAY SAYING MY WARRANTY COVERS EVERYTHING EXCEPT INTERMIX INGRID WHICH WAS EXACTLY WHAT IT WAS. I SPENT EXTRA MONEY TO MAKE SURE IF ANYTHING HAPPENS TO MY CAR I COULD GET IT FIXED WITH THE WARRANTY. THEY TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING AND TO FIX IT I MUST PAY THE $3000. I HAD MY CAR FOR 2 YEARS AND IT ONLY HAS 75,000 MIKES AND NOW MY TRANSMISSION GOES OUT? I RESEARCHED WHAT INTERMIX INGRID IS AND FOUND OUT I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM??! NISSAN ISN'T TAKING RESPONSIBILITY AND INSTEAD CHARGING US ALL $3000+ TO GET THE PROBLEM THAT EVERYONE IS HAVING FIXED. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL OR THE WARRANTY SHOULD COVER THIS PROBLEM.

• 11/20/2007· AIR BAGS

  THERE IS SIGNIFICANT VARIANCE IN WHEN THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG DISENGAGEMENT LIGHT WILL COME ON WHEN MY WIFE IS IN THE CAR. MY WIFE IS APPROXIMATELY 115 POUNDS AND THERE IS NOT ANY CONSISTENCY AS TO WHEN THE AIRBAG BECOMES TURNED OFF. FOR EXAMPLE I WILL BE CRUISING AT 60 MILES PER HOUR WITH HER SITTING PERFECTLY CENTERED ON HER SEAT. WITH THESE CONDITIONS CONSTANT THE LIGHT WILL GO ON FOR A VARIABLE AMOUNT OF TIME AND THEN TURN BACK OFF. THE SAME RESULTS CAN BE OBSERVED REGARDLESS OF WHAT SPEED WE ARE GOING. FOR EXAMPLE, THE SAME SITUATION CAN BE OBSERVED CRUISING AT 30 MPH. THE DEALERSHIP, SERVICE CENTER AND REGIONAL CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM. THERE REASONING IS THAT THIS IS THE WAY SAFETY FEATURE IS DESIGNED AND THE VEHICLE PASSES THEIR DIAGNOSTIC TEST. WHEN I ASK FOR THE DESIGN PARAMETERS THAT CAUSE THE LIGHT TO GO ON AND OFF THEY DO NOT GIVE ME A SPECIFIC ENOUGH REASON OR PARAMETERS AS TO WHY THE LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF. THIS IS AN OBVIOUS DESIGN FAILURE OR SAFETY DEFECT, BUT NO ONE AT NISSAN IS IS WILLING TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY TO HELP US. WE ARE BASICALLY STUCK WITH A VERY UNSAFE VEHICLE FOR ANYBODY WITH A PASSENGER BETWEEN 100 TO 130 POUNDS. THIS IS A WEIGHT RANGE WHERE CHILDREN AND YOUNG ADULTS ARE SPECIFICALLY AT RISK TO THIS SAFETY DEFECT. I CAN UNDERSTAND HOW THE AIRBAGS CAN BE OPTIMIZED TO TURN ON AND OFF BASED ON VARIOUS FACTORS. BUT THERE IS NO CONSISTENCY ON WHAT THOSE THRESHOLDS ARE. WE APPRECIATE ANY HELP SOMEONE CAN PROVIDE IN HELPING TO GET A RECALL FOR THIS VERY DANGEROUS VEHICLE. *TR

  FUEL GAUGE READS ZERO AFTER FILLING UP AND LOW FUEL WARNING LIGHT IS ON. ALSO SERVICE ENGINE SOON WARNING LIGHT IS ON. ODB CODE 0463. *TR

• 11/19/2010· FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER

  THE GAS GAUGE NO LONGER REGISTERS THE ACCURATE GASOLINE LEVEL IN THE TANK AND THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR 2006 AND 2008 MODELS BUT NOT FOR 2007. THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THE WEB FROM OTHER NISSAN OWNERS ON THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE. *TR

  The contact owns a 2007 Nissan Xterra. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to a dealer to be repaired under NHTSA Campaign Number: 08V690000 (Air Bags). The contact stated that after retrieving the vehicle, the air bag warning light was blinking. The vehicle was returned to the dealer and the contact was informed that a diagnostic test was needed to determine the cause of the failure. The contact refused to pay for the diagnostic test and stated that the warning light was not illuminated prior to the recall repair being performed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 167,000.

  THIS IS ONE OF THE MANY TRANSMISSION ISSUES WITH 2007 XTERRAS WHERE THE COOLANT LEAKS INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND DESTROYS IT. THE REPAIR COST IS 8500 DOLLARS IF THE 100000 MILE EXTENDED WARRANTY HAS BEEN PASSED. I CONTACTED NISSAN AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THIS IS MY RESPONSIBILITY DESPITE THE HUNDRED OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. WHEN DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, WHEN THE XTERRA CHANGES GEARS THERE IS A ROUGH VIBRATION THAT KEEPS GETTING WORSE THE LONGER IT GOES FOR. HAD I NOT LEARNED ABOUT THIS ON MY OWN ACCORD THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A VERY BAD ACCIDENT. *TR

• 11/15/2014· POWER TRAIN

  WAS TOLD BY DEALER THAT A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH RADIATOR CAUSED RADIATOR FLUID TO SEEP INTO TRANSMISSION CAUSING TRANSMISSION TO FAIL. NEITHER DEALER NOR NISSAN WOULD ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS KNOWN DEFECT. *TR

• 11/15/2013· POWER TRAIN,ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  MY RADIATOR WENT OUT IN THE STARBUCKS DRIVE-THRU. I HAD IT TOWED TO A SHOP & WAS TOLD IT IS A KNOWN DESIGN FLAW BY NISSAN WHERE THE FLUIDS ARE MIXING & THE ONLY THING I CAN DO NOW IS REPLACE THE RADIATOR & "HOPE" THE FLUIDS DID NOT GO INTO THE TRANSMISSION. GOT THE NEW RADIATOR & HAD A TRANS FLUSH 3 TIMES & PAID ABOUT $1800. IT IS NOW A MONTH LATER & MY SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. TODAY, I AM TOLD I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION WHICH WILL COST $3800. THIS IS OUR ONLY CAR. WE DO NOT HAVE THE FUNDS TO PAY FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION. FOR SAFETY REASONS, WE URGE YOU TO PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS POOR DESIGN BY NISSAN WHERE THE FLUIDS ARE MIXING & CAUSING SAFETY CONCERNS TO THE CONSUMERS. *TR

• 11/14/2018· ENGINE

  I HAD BOUGHT A USED 2007 NISSAN XTERRA AND THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION WENT OUT ON IT. I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX IT. IT IS NOT DRIVEABLE. I HAD BOUGHT IT IM AUGUST OF 2017 AND IT WENT OUT ON ME IN MARCH 2018. THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT IT FROM CAN NOT HELP ME.

• 11/14/2012· FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  I OWN A 2007 NISSAN XTERRA WITH A FAULTY FUEL SENOR SERVICE BULLETIN #NTB-07-069C. CALLED NISSAN SEVERAL TIMES AND THE CORPORATE OFFICE CALLED TODAY 11/14/2012 AND REFUSED TO REPAIR WARRANTY PART. IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND THEY JUST FLAT OUT REFUSED TO FIX A SENSOR THEY ADMIT IS FAULTY. I FEEL HELPLESS AGAINST THIS GIANT CORPORATION. THANKS YOU ANY HELP YOU COULD PROVIDE. *TR

• 11/13/2015· POWER TRAIN

  RADIATOR COOLANT LEAKED INTO TRANSMISSION AND NOW I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION AND DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY FOR THIS REPAIR. THERE NEEDS TO BE A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AS THIS IS HAPPENING TO NISSAN OWNERS AFTER THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED AND NISSAN KNOWS ABOUT THIS. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE MAIN STREET AND VEHICLE SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON AND THEN I COULD ONLY GO ABOUT 10-15 MPH BECAUSE OF THE TRANSMISSION

• 11/13/2012· POWER TRAIN

  XTERRA WOULD NOT CRANK. TOWED TO LANDERS MCLARTY NISSAN. RECEIVED CALL THIS MORNING FROM NISSAN SERVICE TECH INDICATING THAT THERE IS A RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION ISSUE RESULTING IN COOLANT MIXING WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID CAUSING TRANSMISSION FAILURE. REPAIR WILL COST $7500.00. *TR

• 11/12/2018· AIR BAGS,SEAT BELTS,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

  MY AIR BAG LIGHT SAYS ON IN THE DASH AND THE PASSENGER SEAT BELT DOSE NOT SHOW ANYONE IN THE SEAT . MY CRUSE CONTROL WORKS SOME TIMES IF I AM ON THE HIGHWAY IT WILL NOT WORK IF I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND THEN RESTART IT IT WILL WORK

• 11/12/2014· ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING,POWER TRAIN

  SITTING AT LIGHT IN THE LEFT LANE, WAITING FOR IT TO TURN GREEN AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR STARTED MAKING A LOUD RACING SOUND. NOT SURE IF IT WAS TRANSMISSION OR ENGINE MAKING THE NOISE. I LOOKED AT MY GAUGES AND SAW THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE WAS ON H. I HAD TO WAIT FOR THE LIGHT TO TURN GREEN, BECAUSE I WAS AT AN INTERSECTION, IN THE LEFT LANE, TO GET ON THE HIGHWAY AND THERE WERE CARS ON MY RIGHT AND CARS GOING IN THE OTHER DIRECTION. AS SOON AS I COULD MOVE, I PULLED OVER TO A SAFE SPOT, BUT BEFORE I COULD, THE CAR STARTED OVERHEATING AND SMOKE STARTED COMING OUT OF THE HOOD. IT WAS TOWED TO MY GARAGE AND AFTER MY MECHANIC LOOKED AT IT, HE SAID THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE FOR NISSAN XTERRAS 2007, BECAUSE THE RADIATOR IS DEFECTIVE. THE COOLANT MIXES WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND THE CAR STOPS RUNNING! APPARENTLY, NISSAN KNOWS THAT THE PART IS DEFECTIVE SO THEY EXTENDED WARRANTY TO 80,000 MILE AND ANYTHING PAST THAT I HAVE TO PAY. WELL, I HAVE 90,400 MILES AND CAN'T BELIEVE THAT NISSAN CAN GET AWAY WITH KNOWING A PART IS DEFECTIVE AND NOT RECALLING ALL TRUCKS AFFECTED. THEY CERTAINLY CHANGED THE RADIATOR DESIGN FOR THE NEWER VEHICLES, ADMITTING THAT IT IS A PROBLEM. THEY SHOULD RECALL THE CARS AND REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE PART. IT IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET, BECAUSE THE PROBLEM IS SO WIDESPREAD AND NISSAN WILL NOT TAKE OWNERSHIP OF IT!!!!!!. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS AND LOOK ON THE INTERNET TO SEE HOW COMMON THIS ISSUE IS FOR XTERRAS AND ALL THE PEOPLE THAT GOT SCREWED BY NISSAN. THANK YOU. *TR

• 11/12/2014· FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  WE WERE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE FUEL GAUGE DROPPED TO EMPTY. WE STOPPED TO GET GAS AND THE TANK WAS ONLY HALF EMPTY. WE HAD THE MECHANIC CHECK THE CAR WHEN WE GOT HOME. HE SAID IT WAS A FUEL SENSOR PROBLEM THAT WAS COMMON IN XTERRAS. WE HAVE NOT FIXED IT YET. WE ARE CONCERNED THAT WE'LL RUN OUT OF GAS ON THE ROAD, ESPECIALLY ON LONGER TRIPS WHEN YOU CAN'T KEEP THE TANK MOSTLY FULL. WE ARE ALSO CONCERNED THAT OUR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WON'T REVEAL OTHER PROBLEMS TO US. I DON'T KNOW WHY THERE ISN'T A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. *TR
