2006 Nissan Xterra complaints

2006 NISSAN XTERRA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE WHILE DRIVING AND SUDDEN ACCELERATION. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED SHE WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE USING THE BRAKE, AND THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. THE CONSUMER STATED SHE WAS STRUGGLING FOR WAYS TO STOP THE VEHICLE. SHE TRIED TO STOP THE VEHICLE BY USING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, BUT TO NO AVAIL SHE WAS FORCED TO TRY AND MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WHILE IN THE LANE OF OTHER VEHICLE. THE THEN PLACED THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL AND IT FINALLY STARTED TO SLOW DOWN. *JB

I BOUGHT THE NISSAN XTERRA LAST YEAR AND UNFORTUNATELY THE TRANSMISSION WHEN OUT AT 145,300 MILES I TALKED TO A NISSAN REPRESENTATIVE BUT THEY SAID THAT NISSAN ONLY COVERS ONLY BEFORE THE 100,000 MILES BUT THAT IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE BECAUSE BE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FACTORY DEFECTS THAT SHOULD BEEN FIXED WITHIN THE FIRST DAYS OF PRODUCTION NOW I HAD TO PAY 4,500 DOLLARS FOR GET THE TRANSMISSION FIXED A FITS JUST A PAIN IN THE NECK BECAUSE I COULD USE THE MONEY TO FEED MY FAMILY OR PAY MY RENT BUT NO I HAD TO PAY FOR A CAR THAT NISSAN DOESN'T TAKE ANY RESPONSIBLY OVER THE 100,000 MILES THAT IT'S UNBELIEVABLE I WANT TO ET REIMBURSED BY NISSAN WHAT I PAID FOR THE TRANSMISSION REPAIRS I HAVE ALL THE DOCUMENTATION

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN XTERRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE RADIATOR LEAKED FLUID ONTO THE TRANSMISSION AND BOTH COMPONENTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 112,000.

COOLENT LEAKED INTO TRANSMISSION. AFTER PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL DOWN SEVERAL TIMES, THE CAR WAS NOT GETTING UP TO SPEED AS NORMAL. IMMEDIATELY TOOK TO CAR REPAIR SHOP, WHICH INFORMED US THIS WAS ONE OF SEVERAL NISSAN CARS THEY HAD DEALT WITH RECENTLY AND GUESSED CORRECTLY OUR ISSUE. TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REBUILT, VERY COSTLY.

I HAVE A FAULTY FUEL SENDING UNIT THAT HAS BEEN RECALLED BY NISSAN BUT DOES NOT ACKNOWLEDGE MY VIN AS PART OF THE RECALL. I AM HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AS MANY NISSAN OWNERS REGARDING AN INACCURATE FUEL GAUGE AS A RESULT OF FAULTY FUEL SENDING UNIT. AS NOTED IN THE RECALL (CAMPAIGN ID# PC042): "NISSAN IS CONDUCTING A VOLUNTARY SAFETY RECALL CAMPAIGN ON CERTAIN MY2006 AND 2008 FRONTIER, XTERRA, AND PATHFINDER VEHICLES TO ADDRESS A POTENTIAL FUEL GAUGE INACCURACY. SPECIFICALLY, THE ISSUE CAN CAUSE THE FUEL GAUGE TO SHOW THAT THE VEHICLE STILL HAS SOME FUEL, TYPICALLY ABOUT ONE QUARTER TANK, WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS ACTUALLY EMPTY. TO REMEDY THIS POTENTIAL CONDITION, NISSAN IS CONDUCTING THIS VOLUNTARY SAFETY RECALL CAMPAIGN TO REPLACE THE FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT WITH A NEW ONE AT NO CHARGE FOR PARTS OR LABOR." THIS IS ACCURATE TO MY PROBLEM WHERE THE FUEL GAUGE WILL READ INACCURATELY AT ANY POINT, LEAVING THE OPERATOR WITH UNCERTAINTY OF FUEL LEVEL AND POTENTIAL DISABLED VEHICLE, LEADING TO POTENTIALLY LIFE-THREATENING SITUATIONS. AT ONE POINT I RAN OUT OF GAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND HAD TO QUICKLY MAKE IT ACROSS THREE LANES TO A SAFE STOPPING POINT, EVEN THOUGH MY FUEL GAUGE READ OVER 1/4 TANK. MY VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO LOCAL GARAGE WHERE I WAS TOLD I RAN OUT OF GAS AND HAD TO PAY FOR TOWING, GAS, ETC AS A RESULT OF FAULTY NISSAN PARTS.

NOTED TRANSMISSION SLIPPAGE AND VEHICLE RUNNING HOTTER THAN NORMAL. RADIATOR LOOKED AS THOUGH IT HAD BEEN FILLED WITH A LIME SMOOTHIE. SUSPECTED BLOWN HEAD GASKET BUT MY MECHANIC STATED THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH NISSANS WHICH INVOLVED INTERMINGLING OF COOLANT AND TRANSMISSION FLUID. RESEARCHED ONLINE AND DISCOVERED CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT RELATIVE TO THE PROBLEM. UNFORTUNATELY, ALTHOUGH MY VEHICLE WAS NOT 10 YEARS OLD AS YET, IT HAD 112K MILES ON IT. NISSAN REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM THEY KNEW ABOUT BUT ON WHICH NO RECALL WAS EVER DONE. THEY OFFERED ME A CRAPPY DISCOUNT TO BUY A NEW VEHICLE. CONSIDERING HOW MUCH THEY STOOD BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT THAT I OWNED, I DIDN'T CHOOSE THAT OPTION. IF I COULDN'T AFFORD TO PAY $6K TO REPLACE THE COOLING SYSTEM AND TRANSMISSION, WHAT MADE THEM THINK I COULD AFFORD TO BUY A NEW VEHICLE? I HAD TO USE THE NISSAN TO GET TO WORK, THE GROCERY STORE, DOCTOR APPOINTMENTS, ETC., KNOWING THAT AT ANY TIME THE VEHICLE COULD FAIL OR SEIZE UP. HAD TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL EACH TIME IT STOPPED TO KEEP IT FROM BOILING OVER. VERY STRESSFUL, PARTICULARLY AS I AM HANDICAPPED AND MORE VULNERABLE THAN MANY.

THE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON, THE PROBLEM CODE IS PO 463. THE REFERENCE NUMBER IS: NTB07-069D. A RECALL CAMPAIGN FOR THE MODEL AND MAKE OF MY VEHICLE WAS ON YOUR SITE NOVEMBER 30, 2010. MY FUEL GAUGE IS ERRATIC, THE SENSOR IS FAULTY, NISSAN REFUSES TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AS , ACCORDING TO THEIR TENNESSEE OFFICE, MY VIN NUMBER HAS NO OPEN RECALLS. I NOW HAVE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AS MY VEHICLE WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION. THE COST IS APPROXIMATELY $400.00. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THE SERVICE I RECEIVED FROM NISSAN.

TRANSMISSION FALIURE DUE TO A KNOWN PROBLEM OF THE OIL COOLER LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY $3300. WHEN THEY KNOW IT IS A PROBLEM!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN XTERRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE FAILED TO PROVIDE ACCURATE READING LEVELS WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS REFUELED. IN ADDITION, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 98,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN XTERRA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS, THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE WAS UNDETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V5170000 (ENGINE, ENGINE COOLING). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,961.

FUEL SENDING UNIT CEASED TO FUNCTION. DEALERSHIP SAID THE VEHICLE WAS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. FULL TANK REGISTERS AFTER 50 OR SO MILES AND THEN DROPS TO EMPTY AROUND 120 MILES. WE ARE FORCED TO FILL THE TANK FULL, RESET THE ODOMETER AND NEVER GO PAST 325 MILES. TWICE I HAVE BEEN TRAVELLING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS WHEN THE CAR STEERING LOCKS UP AND VEHICLE LOSES POWER. BOTH TIMES I HAVE BEEN LUCKY TO BE ABLE TO LIMP OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT INCIDENT. BOTH TIMES OCCURRED LATE AT NIGHT AND ALONE. ONE LOCATION I WAS FORCED TO WALK ALONG THE ROAD UNTIL MY PHONE REGISTERED A SIGNAL. I BELIEVE THIS OCCURRED AROUND 70,000 MILES. TO DATE, WE HAVE NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM AND IF WE LIVED IN AN EMISSIONS CONTROLLED CITY, WE PROBABLY WOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT RIGHT NOW AS IT HAS THROWN A CODE AND ACTIVATED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I'M CURIOUS TO KNOW WHO QUALIFIED TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED. BASED ON WHAT I HAVE READ, NOT MANY AND CERTAINLY NOT THOSE WHO TOO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEM. I LOVED MY XTERRA BUT DUE TO THE LACK OF CARE AND ISSUES IGNORED BY NISSAN, I STEER PEOPLE AWAY FROM BUYING ONE.

NO PROBLEMS IN FIVE YEARS OF OWNERSHIP. THE FOLLOWING TOOK PLACE IN LESS THAN 7 DAYS. TRUCK WAS FUELED UP AT COSTCO AND 30 MINUTES LATER WAS SHUDDERING WHEN STOPPED, WE THOUGHT WE GOT A BAD TANK OF GAS. TRUCK HAD A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. MISFIRING CYLINDER, COIL REPLACED. TWO DAYS LATER, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. REPLACED O2 SENSOR. A DAY OR TWO LATER CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. HAD A LOSS OF POWER. TRUCK WAS IN LIMP MODE. DROVE TO THE DEALER AND THEY DIAGNOSED REPLACING THE FAILED CATALYTIC CONVERTER (RIGHT REAR) AND THE TIMING CHAIN, TENSIONERS ETC. SALESMAN SAID THAT WE SHOULD HAVE CHANGED THE TIMING CHAIN AT 60,000 MILES. WHICH I HAVE NEVER SEEN LISTED IN THE MAINTENANCE. THE TRUCK WAS PURCHASED USED AT 64,000 MILES.

THE ACCELERATOR STARTED NOT SWITCHING GEARS AS I WAS MERGING ONTO THE FREEWAY. THEN, THE TRANSMISSION GAVE OUT. THE FLUID FROM THE TRANSMISSION LEAKED INTO THE RADIATOR AND BOTH NEED TO BE REPLACED. IT IS ESTIMATED TO COST $4,000 TO GET FIXED.

THE RADIATOR CRACKED CAUSING INTERMIX WITH TRANSMISSION FLUID I FOUND AFTER THE OCCURANCES. WHILE DRIVING THE TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING OUT OF GEAR WHILE IN MOTION IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC ON CITY STREETS. THE NEXT TIME I DROVE IT SEEMED OKAY. I ENTERED A CURVING ONRAMP AND SUDDENLY THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED OUT OF GEAR, THE ENGINE REVVED HIGH, AND JERKED HARD BACK IN TO GEAR, SPINNING THE WHEELS AND CAUSING ME TO GO SIDEWAYS NEAR ANOTHER VEHICLE. I QUICKLYQUICKLY REGAINED CONTROL, AND CONTINUED DRIVING TO THE NEAREST EXIT. THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED A COUPLE MORE TIMES, CAUSING ME TO SLOW DOWN BUT NO LOSS OF CONTROL. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A FATAL ACCIDENT, AND THOUGH I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE OKAY, I HAD TO PAY $3700 TO FIX IT. THIS OCCURRED AT 102,000 MILES AND HAPPENS TO EVERY XTERRA, PATHFINDER, AND FRONTIER FROM 2005-2007. THEIR SHOULD BE A RECALL BEFORE THIS RESULTS IN DEATHS. IT WILL INEVITABILITY CAUSE FATALITIES.

ANYTIME I PUT GAS IN MY CAR , THE FUEL GAUGE INDICATOR DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. I CAN DRIVE WITH A FULL TANK OF GAS AND THE INDICATOR SAYS IT ON EMPTY. AND THEN IT WILL GRADUALLY START GOING UP, BUT IT TAKES DAYS FOR IT TO WORK PROPERLY. ALSO, IF IT WORKING PROPERLY, I CAN STOP A RED LIGHT, AND IF THE CAR STAYS STANDING IN ONE PLACE NOT MOVING THE INDICATOR ALSO DROPS TO E.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT ABOUT 70 MILES PER HOUR WENT MY CAR STARTING LOSING POWER AND JERKING. THE CARS BEHIND ME WERE GETTING RIGHT BEHIND MY CAR AND SLOWING DOWN,THEY WERE YELLING AT ME TO SPEED UP AND, I WAS SO SCARED ONE OF THEM WOULD HIT THE BACK OF MY CAR AND CAUSE A ACCIDENT AND KILL ME,I TRIED TO GET THE CAR TO THE TO THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE BUT HAD A HARD TIME CROSSING TRAFFIC,I WAS PRAYING TO MAKE IT ACROSS WITH OUT GETTING .NISSION KNEW THAT MY XTERIA WAS WAS RECALLED FOR THIS ISSUE BUT DID NOT SEND ME A RECALL NOTICE OR ANYTHING IN THE MAIL,NOW THEY WANT ME TO PAY THE FIRST $3000 TO FIX MY TRANSMISSION. BUT THEY BUILD THE CAR THAT WAY SO I THINK THEY SHOULD FIX IT. I HAD A GUY WHO WORKED ON MY CAR BEFORE AND HE SAID THAT DUE TO A CRACKED COOLANT LEAK INTO MY TRANSMISSION, MY TRANSMISSION WENT OUT. I SURE WISH NO ONE ELSE WENT THROUGH THE SAME THING ON THE INTERSTATE, IT WAS BAD., I AM DISABLED AND CANNOT AFFORD THE $3000 SO MY CAR IS NOW USELESS AND I HAVE NO WAY TO GO TO THE DOCTOR.

THE TRANSMISSION FAILED DURING HEAVY COMMUTE TRAFFIC HWY AT 60MPH CREATING A NEAR MISS MULTI VEHICLE COLLISION. NO INJURIES OR ACCIDENT OCCURED BECAUSE OF THE MALFUNCTION. THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND WAS PULLED SAFELY TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE CAUSE OF THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE WAS DIAGNOSED TO BE TRANSMISSION FAILURE DUE TO CONTAMINATION FROM ENGINE COOLANT. A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL AS THOUSANDS OF CONSUMER COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN FILED BUT IGNORED BY THE NHTSA AND NISSAN. THE FACTORY RADIATOR HAS A KNOWN DEFECT WHICH CAUSED THE INTERCOOLER TUBING FROM THE TRANSMISSION TO THE RADIATOR TO CRACK AND FAIL THUS CAUSING CROSS CONTAMINATION OF TRANMISSION FLUID AND ENGINE COOLANT FROM THE RADIATOR TO MIX AND DESTROY THE TRANSMISSION. THE FAILURE REQUIRES REPLACEMENT OF THE RADIATOR AND REPLACEMENT OR REBUILDING OF THE TRANSMISSION AT A COST OF $5,500. IN OVER 45 YEARS OF DRIVING ALL MAKES,YEARS AND MODELS OF VEHICLES BOTH FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC, I HAVE NEVER HAD ONE FAILURE OF THIS TYPE BEFORE, EVEN IN VEHICLES WITH OVER 300,000 MILES OF USE. IN MY HUMBLE OPINION, THIS IS NOTHING LESS THAN AN ENGINEERING DEFECT EITHER PURPOSEFULLY DESIGNED AS BUILT IN OBSOLESCENSE, OR OVERLOOKED AND DENIED BY NISSAN AS A MATERIALS DEFECT IN MANUFACTURING. ANYONE CAN USE A SEARCH ENGINE ON THE INTERNET TO FIND THAT THIS IS A COMMON OCCURANCE BUT NO RECALL HAS BEEN ENACTED BECAUSE THERE HAS BEEN NO DEATHS REPORTED YET. BECAUSE MY VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY, BUT OF THIS LOW MILAGE, IT WA

WE WERE PULLING A LIGHT 18 FOOT TRAILER UP A STEEP HILL, AT LOW SPEED DUE TO THE GRADE. IT WAS ON HWY 89, ABOUT 5 MILES W OF GARDEN CITY, UTAH. THE RPM OF THE CAR RACED UP TO 4,000, IT LOST POWER AND LUGGED. WE WERE FORTUNATE THAT THERE WAS A TURN OFF A VERY SHORT DISTANCE AHEAD. WE WERE ALSO FORTUNATE THAT THE FAILURE DID NOT OCCUR WHEN WE WERE TURNING LEFT IN FRONT OF ON-COMING TRAFFIC. THE ENGINE WAS SMOKING HOT, EVEN THOUGH THE RADIATOR DIDN'T SHOW ANY HEAT. IT TOOK A WHILE TO RECOGNIZE THE ISSUE.

ON SUNDAY, AUGUST 30, 2015, WHILE DRIVING FROM MARYLAND TO VIRGINIA, ON A SPEED LIMIT OF 55, VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN AND TRANSMISSION WONT ENGAGED WHILE ACCELERATING THE GAS PEDAL, RPM WAS GOING TO THE HIGHER NUMBER/RED ZONE AND CAR WILL NOT MOVE FASTER UP TO THE NOTED SPEED LIMIT. WHEN WE STOP AT THE LIGHT, AND THE LIGHTS TURN GREEN, THE VEHICLE WILL NOT MOVE AND MAKE LOUD NOISE AND RPM GOING HIGHER TO THE RED ZONE NUMBERS. THIS CAUSED TRAFFIC BEHIND US BACK UP BECAUSE OF SPEED TOO SLOW IN A 55-MILE PER HOUR SPEED. I WAS AFRAID IT COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES DURING A 200-MILE TRAVEL FROM MARYLAND TO VIRGINIA. I READ THAT THERE WERE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT NISSAN VEHICLES ABOUT RADIRATOR WATER LEAKS TO THE TRANSMISSION AND CAUSING IT TO MALFUNCTION. ACCORDING THE PRICE TRANSMISSION EXPERTS, THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM AND THE COST TO REPAIR WILL COST $4,400.00 I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE NISSAN PAY THE REPAIR COST.

THE FIRST INCIDENT WAS A COUPLE MONTHS AGO WHEN MY CAR JUST DECIDED TO STOP IN TRAFFIC ALL THE SUDDEN. JUST SHUT DOWN. THEN YESTERDAY I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AND A CAR IN FRONT OF ME DECIDED TO SLOW DOWN. WHEN I HIT THE BREAKS TO SLOW DOWN THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE BACK UP IT DECREASED. I COULD NOT GET IT TO GO. I RESTARTED THE CAR AND IT TURNED ON AND WENT AGAIN. I LOOKED AT THIS WEBSITE AND SAW ALL THE COMPLAINTS.I HAVE HAD ALL THE SAME ISSUES WITH STALLING, NOT STARTING, AND NO ACCELERATION. I TOOK IT TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP AND THEY COULD NOT DETECT ANYTHING WRONG AS NO CODES AND OF COURSE IT DID NOT DO IT FOR THEM WHEN THEY TEST DROVE IT. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP SHOWED THEM THE PRINT OUT FROM THIS SITE AND TOLD THEM I AM HAVING ALL THOSE PROBLEMS WITHIN THE LAST COUPLE MONTHS. THEY TOLD ME SINCE MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL THEY BASICALLY COULD NOT HELP WITHOUT CHARGING ME $900 FOR A RADIATOR PLUS THE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE $78. I HAD TO PAY $100 JUST FOR THEM TO LOOK AT IT. THEY TOLD ME A WHOLE NEW TRANSMISSION WOULD BE $9000. THIS IS A HORRIBLE PROBLEM THIS VEHICLE IS HAVING AND IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR YOUR CAR TO JUST TURN OFF WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE A SMALL CHILD IN THE CAR WITH ME. VERY SCARY WOULD COULD HAPPEN. I DO NOT CARE WHAT THE MILEAGE IS ON THE VEHICLE. NISSAN NEEDS TO INCLUDE ALL XTERRA'S NO MATTER WHAT THE VIN IS FOR THE TIME FRAME! ALL THESE COMPLAINTS NEED ACTION. I LITTLE TO QUINKY DINK THEY ARE ALL HAPPENING NOW! NISSAN DEALERSHIP TO

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN XTERRA. AFTER REFUELING THE VEHICLE, THE FUEL GAUGE FAILED TO DISPLAY THE CORRECT FUEL READING LEVEL. THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE FAILED TO DISPLAY THAT THE FUEL WAS LOW. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V075000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000. MA 10/5 *CN

TRAMSMISSION WAS BEGINNING TO MAKE NOISE AND SHIFTING ROUGHLY. I TOOK IT TO THE NISSAN DEALER AND THEY SAID THE RADIATOR WAS LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION FLUID CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE TRANSMISSION. THEY SAID IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND IT COST ME OVER $3500 TO REPAIR.

I HAD JUST EXITED THE INTERSTATE AND WAS STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. MY TRANSMISSION HAD BEEN MAKING A NOISE BUT I DID NOT KNOW WHY. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO PULL AWAY FROM THE LIGHT MY TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT ENGAGE INTO GEAR. MY VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE REPAIR SHOP WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED FLUID FROM MY RADIATOR WHICH HAD CRACKED THE PREVIOUS MONTH HAD MOVED THROUGH THE COOLANT LINES INTO MY TRANSMISSION AND CAUSES ITS FAILURE. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED WHILE STILL ON THE INTERSTATE I WOULD HAVE BEEN AT HIGH RISK FOR A FATAL WRECK TO HAVE OCCURED

OUR VEHICLE BEGAN TO NO LONGER SHOW THAT WE HAD ANY FUEL ON THE GAS GAUGE. I SAW THAT 2006 NISSAN XTERRAS HAD A RECALL ON THE FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT. WE HAD THE REPAIRS DONE AT A NISSAN DEALERSHIP, BUT WERE INFORMED THAT OUR VIN NUMBER WOULD NOT BE COVERED. THE CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS SAID WE HAD NO RECOURSE BECAUSE THIS WAS A WARRANTY ISSUE EVEN THOUGH THEIR WEBSITE REFERS TO IT AS A RECALL. IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO? PLEASE HELP!

I WAS DRIVING TO A LOCAL CITY POOL AND THE CAR APPEARED TO LOSE POWER. I RESTARTED THE CAR AND REACHED THE POOL. WHEN I WENT TO START THE CAR, IT WOULDNT START. THINKING IT MIGHT BE THE BATTERY, I HAD SOMEONE TRY TO JUMP START IT BUT NOTHING HAPPENED. HAD MY CAR TOWED TO A LOCAL MECHANIC THE FOLLOWING MORNING AND LEARNED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED AS THE RADIATOR FLUID HAD MIXED WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID DUE TO A FAULTY SENSOR. NOW I HAVE A PERFECTLY NICE VEHICLE THAT WONT RUN UNLESS I PAY TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR REPLACED. I JUST BOUGHT IT IN FEBRUARY 2014. IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE CLASS ACTION SUIT BECAUSE IT HAS 144,000 MILES ON IT.

I AM WRITING THIS IN REGARD TO THE RADIATOR CRACKING AND LEAKING COOLANT INTO THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. THIS PROBLEM COMPLETELY RUINS TRANSMISSIONS AND THERE IS NO WAY TO TELL THE PROBLEM IS OCCURING. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE INSPECTED REGULARLY AND MAINTAINED TO ALL MANUFACTURER SPECIFICATIONS. I RECEIVED ZERO NOTIFICATION FROM NISSAN ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THIS IS MY PRIMARY VEHICLE I USE TO TRANSPORT MY CHILD. I WAS LEFT STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF A BACK ROAD IN EXTREME HEAT DUE TO THIS DEFECT. THE COST OF REPAIRING THIS ISSUE IS WELL OVER THE WORTH OF THE VEHICLE ITSELF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN XTERRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE TYPE OF AIR BAGS THE VEHICLE WAS EQUIPPED WITH WERE NO LONGER PRODUCED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 94,000.

CRACKED RADIATOR HOSE CAUSED COOLANT TO MIX WITH TRANSMISSION FLUID THEREBY RUINING THE TRANSMISSION. COST INCLUDED RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION (USED) REPLACEMENT. THIS ISSUE WOULD HAVE BEEN PROACTIVELY REPAIRED / REPLACED THE RADIATOR PRIOR TO THE ISSUE OCCURRING HAD NISSAN NOTIFIED ME OF IT. INSTEAD, IT COST AN EXTRA $3500 TO REPLACE BOTH RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION. A TOTALLY PREVENTABLE SITUATION, NEVER MIND THE POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS SITUATION HAD THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. NO EXCUSE FOR NISSAN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN XTERRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR MAINTENANCE ON THE BRAKING SYSTEM. WHILE DRIVING AWAY FROM THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, SEVERAL WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED AS HAVING CONTAMINANT IN THE BRAKE FLUID. THE CONTAMINANT CAUSED THE BRAKE FAILURE WHICH IN TURN PRODUCED THE BRAKE AND DVC WARNING SIGNALS TO ILLUMINATE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 106,000.

RADIATOR FLUID IN THE TRANSMISSION AND TRANSMISSION FLUID IN THE RADIATOR. CAUSED TRANSMISSION TO FAIL. NEED TO REPLACE BOTH NOW BECAUSE OF A MECHANICAL DEFECT IN ADF LINE.

MY CAR WAS MAKING A RATTLING NOISE SO I TOOK IT TO THE NISSAN DEALER TO INSPECT IT AN FIND OUT WHAT IT WAS, THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS THE SECONDARY TIMING CHAIN AND THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY AN OR RECALL. AS SEARCHED ONLINE FOUND THAT MANY OTHERS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR CARS, AND THAT NISSAN KNEW ABOUT THIS AND NEVER REVEALED IT TO THE PUBLIC OR HAD A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM, SO THAT THE REPLACEMENT WOULD FALL ONTO THE CONSUMER.( THIS PERTAINS TO THE SECONDARY TIMING CHAIN AND OTHER ASSOC. PARTS)

I HAD ALL FOUR HANKOOK DYNAPRO ATM TIRES FROM THIS BATCH REPLACED FOR TREAD SEPARATION. I ORIGINALLY PURCHASED THESE TIRES IN MARCH OF 2010. I HAD TWO OF THEM REPLACED IN APRIL OF 2013 (THE SEPARATION ON THE TWO TIRES WERE SO BAD THAT THEY WOULD NOT LET ME LEAVE THE SHOP WITH THEM.), THEN THE BLOWOUT IN SEPTEMBER OF 2014 THEN THE FINAL REPLACEMENT IN FEBRUARY OF THIS YEAR. ALL OF THESE TIRES WERE REPLACED DUE TO THESE DEFECTIVE TIRES. I REPLACED THESE TIRES WITH THE SAME PRODUCT THINKING I JUST GOT A BAD BATCH OF TIRES. BUT WHEN SHOWING THE GUYS AT THE DISCOUNT TIRE WHAT HAPPENED TO THE TIRE AND CAR WHEN THE TREAD BLEW OFF THE TIRE AND THE 2500 DAMAGE THAT WAS CAUSED TO THE SUV, THEY FELT THAT THAT WAS A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT AND THAT I NEEDED TO FILE A CLAIM WITH HANKOOK. THEY HELPED ME GET THE CLAIM STARTED. I WAS CONTACTED BY JUAN BRITOS WHO ASKED ME TO SEND IN AN ESTIMATE FROM A REPAIR COMPANY WHICH I DID. A FEW DAYS LATER I RECEIVED A LETTER STATING THAT THE CLAIM WAS DENIED DUE TO PROLONGED OPERATION OF THE TIRE IN AN UNDER-INFLATED STATE THIS CLAIM IS SIMPLY UNTRUE. I COMMUTE QUITE A FEW MILES A WEEK. I AM VERY CONSCIOUS OF THE PRESSURE OF MY TIRES. I DO THIS FOR ECONOMIC REASONS I KNOW KEEPING PROPERLY INFLATED TIRES IMPROVES MPG. THIS IS WHY I KEEP A TIRE PRESSURE GAGE IN THE DOOR OF MY CAR AND CHECK IT REGULARLY. I ALSO KEEP AN AIR COMPRESSOR IN MY CAR TO INFLATE ANY UNDER INFLATED TIRES, THIS IS ALSO AN AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF COMPRESSOR THAT SHUTS OFF AT THE SET PSI. I KEE

WHILE DRIVING AND TRYING TO ENTER A MAJOR HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 40 MPH AND TRYING TO ACCELERATE, I HAD TO PULL OUT TO THE SHOULDER BECAUSE THE TRUCK WOULDN'T SHIFT TO A HIGHER GEAR...I HAD TO GET OUT OF THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE THE TRUCK WASN'T ABLE TO ACCELERATE AND REMAINED ON 1ST SHIFT STRUGGLING TO GET TO 2ND AND THEN 3RD....I GOT HOME AND HEARD THE ENGINE OR RADIATOR MAKE BUBBLING NOISE....AFTER 3 OR 4 HOURS I OPENED THE RADIATOR AND SAW ALL SORTS OF GUNK LIKE BUBBLEGUM...IT WAS STILL WARM AND IT OOZED OUT FALLING ALL OVER MY DRIVEWAY...I PAYED A MECHANIC $300 TO CHANGE THE RADIATOR THINKING IT WAS THE PROBLEM ...ONLY TO FIND OUT IT WAS MUCH MORE AND MORE MONEY ALSO....I LOOKED FOR ANOTHER MECHANIC AND HE SAID IT WOULD COST $4000 TO FIX EVERYTHING... I'VE WASTED MORE THAN $3000 TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS.. NOW THE MECHANIC SAYS THAT A NEW TRANSMISSION MODULE VALVE IS NEEDED ....HOW MANY MORE TRUCKS BREAKING DOWN OR COMPLAINTS UNTIL THIS ISSUE IS RESOLVED.... I WAS LUCKY THAT WHEN I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY NO CARS WERE COMING FULL SPEED...BECAUSE WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO ACCELERATE I WOULD OF CAUSED AN ACCIDENT AND GOTTEN KILLED...I LOVED MY TRUCK AND MISS RIDING IT...PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS... THANK YOU..

RADIATOR CRACKED LEAKED COOLANT IN TRANSMISSION, RUINING IT. UPDATED 11/02/2017*CN

AS I CAME UP TO STOP AT A RED LIGHT, THE XTERRA BEGAN TO SHUDDER AND THE TACHOMETER STARTED RISING AND FALLING UNTIL I FINALLY STOPPED, THEN THE TACHOMETER DROPPED BELOW 500 RPM AND THE TRUCK TURNED OFF. RESTARTED IT FINE, BUT IT STALLED AGAIN. I QUICKLY FIGURED OUT THAT ALTHOUGH IT IS AN AUTOMATIC, I NEEDED TO DRIVE IT LIKE A MANUAL. SO I PUT IT IN NEUTRAL, STARTED IT AGAIN, IT DID NOT STALL, THEN I REVVED THE ENGINE TO 2,000 RPM AND PUT IT INTO DRIVE. OFF I WENT, AND IT DID NOT DO IT AGAIN THAT DAY. HOWEVER, OVER THE NEXT MONTH IT BECAME A GROWING PROBLEM, UNTIL IT FINALLY WAS OCCURRING EVERY SINGLE TIME I STOPPED UNLESS I PUT IT IN NEUTRAL. I TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC WHO SPENT 4 HOURS DIAGNOSING IT TO BE CERTAIN OF THE PROBLEM. WHICH THEY SAID WAS A FAILING TORQUE CONVERTOR AND PLATE. IT FAILED DUE TO COOLANT LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION FROM A BROKEN HOUSING COMING OFF OF THE RADIATOR (APPARENTLY A VERY COMMON PROBLEM FOR WHICH NISSAN REFUSES TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY). NOT HARD TO VERIFY THEIR FINDINGS DUE TO THE PRESENCE OF PINK MILKSHAKE LOOKING LIQUID IN THE RADIATOR. FINAL VERDICT, AT BEST IT NEEDS A NEW TORQUE CONVERTOR AND PLATE, BUT WITH THE AMOUNT OF EFFORT TO INSTALL THOSE AND UNKNOWN FURTHER DAMAGE FROM THE COOLANT LEAK, A NEW TRANSMISSION WAS RECOMMENDED.

VEHICLE GAS GAUGE DOES NOT WORK. FAULTY FUEL TANK SENDING UNIT. RAN OUT OF GAS IN TRAFFIC.

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, VEHICLE RPM WENT UP AS THE SPEED DECEASE. I PLACE THE VEHICLE IN THE NEXT LOWER GEAR TO GET TO MY LOCATION. CHECK THE RADIATOR LATER AND IT HAS A OILY CREAMY THICK MIXTURE OF RADIATOR COOLANT AND TRANSMISSION FLUID.

TRANSMISSION, RADIATOR PROBLEMS. CAR IS A LEMON. *TR

MY TRANSMISSION FAILED BE CAUSE OF WATER ENTERING THROUGH THE COOLING SYSTEM ACCOUNT IT IS CONNECTED TO RADIATOR THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE FOR SOME TIME. *TR

I WAS ON MY WAY BACK FROM THE MALL WHEN I HEARD MY FAN/BELT START TO SQUEAL. NOT THINKING ANYTHING OF IT I KEPT ON DRIVING NEXT THING I KNOW I'M PRESSING HARDER ON MY GAS PEDDLE JUST TO GO FASTER. MY RPMS WHERE GOING TO HIGH AND I WAS ONLY GOING 65. I WAS ON THE HIGH WHEN THIS HAPPEN SO I DIDN'T NOTICE TILL I HAD TO GO UP A BRIDGE AND THAT'S WHEN I REALLY NOTICE MY ENGINE STRUGGLING TO GET POWER, IT SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS DOING A LOT WHEN IT REALLY WASN'T. I KNEW I HAD TO GO TO THE MECHANIC TO GET IT LOOKED AT THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A LOSE BOLT. NEXT THING I'M DRIVING HOME AND MY CAR WAS DOING THE SAME THING AGAIN BUT THIS TIME IT WASN'T GOING INTO GEAR IN DRIVE, SO I TRIED 3 GEAR STILL NOTHING SO I WENT TO 2 AND IT STUCK. I PARKED IT ON A SIDE STREET IN OCEAN CITY AND CALLED TRIP A AND HAD IT TOWED TO NISSAN OF ATLANTIC CITY TO SEE WHAT WAS WRONG. COUPLE DAYS LATER THEY CALLED AND TOLD ME MY RADIATOR FLUID LEAKED INTO MY TRANSMISSION AND MESSED ALL THE GEARS UP. AFTER HEARING THAT I LOOKED UP THAT PROBLEM ON XTERRAS APPARENTLY THIS IS A PRETTY COMMON OCCURRENCE ON THEM. I WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF SUCH PROBLEMS BY THE DEALER AND APPARENTLY NISSAN WANT REIMBURSE ME SO I'M OUT 7,500 BECAUSE MY NISSAN IS SITTING IN MY BACK YARD. *TR

RADIATOR, WHICH WAS RECALLED AND I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED ABOUT, CRACKED LEAKING COOLANT INTO THE TRANSMISSION ULTIMATELY CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION TO FAIL. *TR

TIMING CHAINS ISSUES. SPECIFICALLY TIMING CHAIN GUIDES AND TENSIONERS STOPPED FUNCTIONING. REPAIR COST $985. CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR STOPPED FUNCTIONING. REPAIR COST $590. *TR

THESE VEHICLES SEEM TO HAVE A SAFETY FLAW. WHEN DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL THE AMOUNT OF TRAVEL IS SUCH THAT IT IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE TO DEPRESS THE GAS PEDAL AT THE SAME TIME CAUSING THE CAR TO LURCH FORWARD. I HAVE HAD TWO DIFFERENT NISSAN DEALERS (HENDERSON, NEVADA AND BOISE, IDAHO) INSPECT MY VEHICLE AND WAS TOLD IN BOTH CASES THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE...ITS THE WAY THE AUTOMOBILE WAS MANUFACTURED. DURING MY LAST DEALER INSPECTION IN BOISE, IDAHO THE MECHANIC BROUGHT A NEW 2015 MODEL INTO THE GARAGE AND PUT THE TWO CARS SIDE BY SIDE. THE DIFFERENCE IN BRAKE PEDAL TRAVEL WAS APPROXIMATELY 1/8 OF AN INCH, SO THE PROBLEM HAS EVIDENTLY NEVER BEEN ADDRESSED BY THE MANUFACTURER. TODAY, MY VEHICLE LURCHED FORWARD WHEN BRAKING BECAUSE THE GAS PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED WHILE BRAKING. IT IS PARAMOUNT THAT ONE'S FOOT IS CENTERED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL; IF YOUR FOOT IS OFF TO THE RIGHT SIDE JUST A LITTLE, THE GAS PEDAL WILL BE DEPRESSED WHILE BRAKING CAUSING AN UNSAFE SITUATION. I HAVE HAD MANY VERY CLOSE CALLS BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. *TR

THE CAR SUDDENLY STALLED WITHOUT ANY WARNING. TOTAL LOSS OF ABILITY REGARDING STEERING AND BRAKING WAS ENCOUNTERED. THE IGNITION KEY LOCK SWITCH FUNCTIONS BECOME UNRESPONSIVE FOLLOWING THE STALLING ENGINE. MEANING THAT WHEN THE KEY WAS TURNED THE ENGINE WOULD TURN OVER BUT, THE ENGINE WOULD NOT REMAIN ON. *TR

TRANSMISSION WENT OUT ON VEHICLE AND AFTER RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM I FOUND THAT SEVERAL COMPLAINTS HAD BEEN FILED AGAINST NISSAN FROM OTHERS CUSTOMERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. THERE HAD ALSO BEEN A CLASS ACTION SUIT FILED BECAUSE SO MANY CUSTOMERS WERE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. WHEN I CONTACTED NISSAN ABOUT THE ISSUE, THEY TOLD ME THAT THE CAMPAIGN WAS CLOSED AND THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO ASSIST ME IN GETTING MY VEHICLE REPAIRED. THE COST TO FIX THE VEHICLE IS OVER $4,000.00. *TR

THE GAS GAUGE HAS BEEN AN ISSUE NOT READING PROPERLY AND IN FACT THE GAUGE MAY ALSO SHOW THE STEADY AMBER LIGHT INDICATING THERE IS NO GAS IN THE TANK, WHEN IT IS A FULL TANK OF GAS. THE STEERING COLUMN WAS FOUND METAL SHAVINGS FROM THE NISSAN DEALER. I HAD COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SHAFT HAVING TROUBLE. I WAS INFORMED THAT IT WAS A PLASTIC PIN THAT BROKE AND THERE WILL BE NO EFFECT ON THE STEERING. SO I HAD BROUGHT IT BACK AFTER 4 YEARS OF DEALING WITH LOOSE STEERING WHEEL. INVOICE 284857 FROM THE VALLEY HI NISSAN TAG [XXX] WAS REPAIRED 03 APRIL 2015. I FEEL THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL SINCE I FOUND THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS FROM MIDAS MECHANIC. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
