2007 Nissan Xterra complaints

LEAK FROM RADIATOR TO TRANSMISSION

TOOK SUV TO WOODBURY NISSAN, HEARING SOUNDS WHEN DRIVING AND NO HEAT. THE RADIATOR COOLANT LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION. BOTH NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THERE WAS NEVER A RECALL OR ANY NOTICE TO ME IN THE 9 YEARS I HAVE HAD THIS FROM NEW.I FEEL NISSAN SHOULD HAVE RECALLED THIS, AND CONSUMERS SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR A DEFECT THEY KNEW ABOUT. *TR

ANOTHER FRUSTRATED 2007 NISSAN XTERRA OWNER WHO'S RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED. THREE WEEKS AGO NOTICED SOME TRANNY SLIPPAGE WHILE DRIVING (NORMALLY 80 MILES A DAY, 5 DAYS A WEEK AND ALL ON HIGHWAYS), CHECKED FLUID, NO PROBLEM, NO LEAKS OR NOTHING, THOUGH MAYBE JUST DRAIN AND CHANGE FLUIDS. THEN 1 WEEK AGO TODAY, I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT WHEN MY TEMPERATURE GAUGE SPIKED TO HOT AND RADIATOR STARTED TO SMOKE, STARTED TO MOVE ON THE GREEN LIGHT TO PULL OVER TO SIDE OF ROAD FROM A FOUR LANE HIGHWAY AND I WAS IN THE SECOND LANE OVER, CAR STARTED TO CHUG AND BARELY MADE IT TO THE SIDE OF ROAD BEFORE IT QUIT, THEN A GRAY COLORED FLUID STARTED DRAINING OUT OF MY RADIATOR OVERFLOW ALL OVER THE GROUND. HAD TO MAKE THE CALL TO A SHOP AND THEY KNEW EXACTLY WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS BEFORE THEY CAME AND GOT IT. THE CAR GOT TOWED TO SHOP WHERE THEY QUOTED ME $5590 FOR TOWING, NEW RADIATOR AND REBUILT TRANNY. WTF'. *TR

COOLANT CONTAMINATION IN THE TRANSMISSION CAUSING ENGINE FAILURE AND TRANSMISSION FAILURE. ALSO BLOWS FUSES AND CAR WILL NOT START. WAS SITTING AT A RED LIGHT WHEN IT TURNED GREEN AND I ACCELERATED THE CAR WOULD NOT GO. WHEN I GOT TO A SAFE PLACE TO TURN IT OFF IT WOULD NOT TURN BACK ON. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION I AM ONE OF MANY THAT HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS AND NISSAN HAS YET TO RECALL THIS ISSUE. I WAS LUCKY TO BE AT A RED LIGHT AND NOT DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE. ALSO THIS IS MY 16 YEAR OLDS CAR AND THANK GOODNESS SHE WASN'T DRIVING IT WHEN IT HAPPENED.THE CAR WAS PURCHASED LESS THAN A MONTH. AGO WITH 133000 MILES ON IT AND WAS RUNNING GREAT UNTIL TODAY. THIS ISSUE COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF BY THE MANUFACTURER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN XTERRA. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000.

TRANSMISSION CONTAMINATION BY COOLANT COSTING $4578

I BROUGHT THIS CAR IN 2007 AND HAVE HAD ELECTRICAL ISSUES,AND HAVE MAINTAINED THE CAR REGULARLY. I WAS DRIVING RECENTLY AND ONLY HAD 91K MILES AND THE TRANSMISSION JUST SUDDENLY WENT WITHOUT WARNING.

I NOTICED MY COOLANT LEVEL WAS LOW, BUT NO LEAKS. I TOOK IT IN AND HAD IT CHECKED. THE MAN PUT A NEW CAP ON THE RADIATOR, SAID HE PRESSURE TESTED IT AND COULD FIND NO LEAKS. A FEW DAYS LATER, ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK, IT BARELY MADE IT HOME. AFTER I PARKED I TRIED TO START IT AND IT WOULDN'T. MY HUSBAND RESEARCHED IT AND READ ABOUT RADIATOR COOLANT IN THE TRANSMISSION AND SURE ENOUGH THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED.THE REPAIRS COME OUT TO BE MORE THAN THE VEHICLE IS WORTH. I FEEL SO RIPPED OFF. THAT WAS THE FIRST EXPENSIVE VEHICLE I'D EVER PURCHASED. I ONLY HAD IT FOR 3 YEARS AND HAD JUST PAID OFF THE $18,000. NOW I HAVE NOTHING. COMPLETE DEVASTATION SINCE I LIVE PAYCHECK TO PAYCHECK. I FEEL LIKE I JUST TOSSED THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS OUT THE WINDOW. MY NISSAN HAS 119,000 MILES. I ALWAYS MAINTAINED IT AND THOUGHT IT WOULD LAST AT LEAST 100,000 MORE.

SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON THE VEHICLE. TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC. MECHANIC SAID IT WAS THROWING TRANSMISSION CODES SUGGESTED TAKE IT TO DEALER TOWED CAR TO NISSAN DEALER. THEY TOLD ME THE RADIATOR COOLENT HAD LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION PROCEEDED TO QUOTE ME A PRICE OF 6042.00 FOR NEW TRANSMISSION, RADIATOR AND COOLANT. WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND IS IF THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT WHY DOESN'T NISSAN MAKE THIS RIGHT? I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE USED IN JANUARY FROM A DEALERSHIP IT IS NOW OCTOBER AND I HAVE A VEHICLE THAT REPAIRS ARE GOING TO COST ALMOST AS MUCH AS I PAID FOR CAR. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THEN WHAM MY VEHICLE IS RUINED BECAUSE OF PURE GREED. WHY CAN'T SOMEONE CARE ABOUT HARD WORKING PEOPLE AND MAKE COMPANIES WHO PRODUCE DEFECTIVE STUFF BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE?

NISSAN XTERRA 2007 FUEL TANK QUANTITY SENSOR IS MISREADING QUANTITY OF FUEL IN TANK CAUSING THE QUANTITY TO SHOW EMPTY WHEN FULL AND SHOWING 1/2 FULL WHEN EMPTY. THIS CAUSE "CHECK ENGINE LIGHT" TO ILLUMINATE, WHICH CAUSES IMMEDIATE FAILURE AT VEHICLE INSPECTION SITE. THAT IN TURN CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO NOT BE REGISTRATABLE.

CAR HAS A LITTLE OVER 100,000 MILES AND BEGAN TO VIBRATE IN TRANSMISSION THEN NOTICED RADIATOR WAS FULL OF SLIMY SLUDGE MECHANIC SUGGESTED WE REPLACE RADIATOR AND THERMOSTATS WHICH WE DID ($478.52). RAN FOR ABOUT A WEEK AFTER AND JUST SHUT OFF ONE DAY THROWING UP ENGINE CODES FOR TRANSMISSION. THAT'S WHEN WE DISCOVERED THE COOLANT CONTAMINATION. UPON CALLING NISSAN THEY INFORMED ME IT WAS NOT GOING TO BE CHEAP WOULD NEED TO REPLACE TRANSMISSION. CAR HAS BEEN SITTING SINCE AND I STILL OWE ON IT BUT CANT AFFORD THE 3-6K DOLLAR ESTIMATES I HAVE RECEIVED.

MY VEHICLE WAS DRIVING PERFECTLY WITHOUT ANY ISSUES AT ALL UNTIL ONE DAY ON THE WAY HOME I STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN NEAR MY HOME. THEN AS I STARTED TO PROCEED DOWN THE CITY STREET THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND 4WD LIGHTS CAME ON IN THE DASH AND THE VEHICLE WOULD BARELY MOVE. I JUST BARELY GOT IT INTO THE DRIVEWAY OF MY HOME. AFTER I TURNED IT OFF I ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE IT WOULD NOT EVEN ATTEMPT TO TURN OVER. I CHECKED ONLINE TO SEE WHAT WOULD CAUSE THESE SYMPTOMS TO FIND THAT HUNDREDS UPON THOUSANDS OF OTHER NISSAN OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME HAPPEN TO THEM. IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE OF CROSS CONTAMINATION OF RADIATOR FLUID AND TRANSMISSION FLUID DUE TO A FAULTY DESIGN IN THE RADIATOR. I HAD A MECHANIC CHECK MY ENGINE AS WELL AND HE CONFIRMED THAT THE GREY SLUDGE IN THE RADIATOR AND GRIT IN MY TRANSMISSION FLUID FIT THE SYMPTOMS OF THIS ISSUE. NOW I AM BEING TOLD I HAVE TO PAY OVER $5000.00 TO HAVE REPAIRS DONE BECAUSE OF A DESIGN FLAW THAT NISSAN REFUSES TO TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR. I AM LUCKY THAT THIS FAILURE HAPPENED IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD VERSUS THE INTERSTATE OR IT COULD HAVE NOT ONLY LEFT ME WITH FIGURING OUT HOW TO COME UP WITH $5000.00 BUT HOW TO PAY FOR HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FOR REPAIR BILLS TO OTHER CARS I MIGHT HAVE CAUSED TO WRECK DO TO THIS CATASTROPHIC TRANSMISSION FAILURE.

FUEL GAUGE HAS BEEN OR RADICALLY DROPPING TO EMPTY WHEN FUEL TANK IS MORE THAN HALF FULL. SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WITH CODE 0463. FUEL LEVER SENSOR HIGH OUTPUT. THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL AND NOT PART OF ANY CURRENT RECALL.

LAST YEAR WHILE DRIVING MY CAR I BEGIN TO NOTICE A "JERKING" MOTION. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE NISSAN DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT I WOULD NEED A FLUSH AND THAT THIS WOULD TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM. FAST FORWARD ROUGHLY A MONTH LATER AND MY CAR COMPLETELY GAVE OUT WHILE DRIVING TO WORK. NO WARNING JUST STOPPED DRIVING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I HAD THE CAR TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY DID A DIAGNOSTIC AND SAID THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS "GONE" BECAUSE THE COOLANT WAS LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION. I SIMPLY CAN NOT AFFORD TO GET THE REPAIRS DONE BEING A SINGLE MOTHER. I HAVE CALLED NISSAN AND FILED A COMPLAINT AND WAS TOLD THAT BECAUSE MY CAR WAS SLIGHTLY OVER 100,00 MILES THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING FOR ME. I FEEL AS THOUGH THIS IS S DEFECT IN THE EQUIPMENT THAT NISSAN IS SEEKING AND THE MILEAGE SHOULD NOT MATTER. THERE SHOULD BE SOME SORT OF RESOLUTION ON THE MATTER. AS IT STANDS MY CAR HAS BEEN IMMOBILE FOR THE PAST COUPLE MONTHS AND I AM STILL MAKING PAYMENTS. IT'S A SAD SITUATION AND NISSAN SHOULD BE ASHAMED, SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE.

TAKATA RECALL - I HAD WENT CHURCH AND AFTER I GOT OUT. I GOT BACK IN THE VEHICLE AND WHEN I TRIED TO BACK UP IN REVERSE IT WOULDNT GO, BUT IF I PRESSED THE GAS A LIL HARDER IT WENT IN REVERSE. SO I GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND HAD MECHANIC THAT I GO TO CHURCH WITH LOOK AT IT AND HE DROVE IT AROUND THE PARKING LOT. THEN CHECKED THE FLUID THATS WHEN HE REALISED THAT THE FLUID COLOR HAD CHANGED AND TOLD ME THAT I HAD TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS.

COOLANT LEAKED INTO TRANSMISSION AND TRANSMISSION BROKE DOWN.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WENT TO NISSAN PLACE WHERE THEY DID A TEST ON IT AND CALM THE DID NOT EXACTLY WHAT WAS WRONG BUT IT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND GAVE ME PRICES ON REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION. THEY DID NOT TELL ME THEY HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THEIR TRANSMISSION. THEY ALSO CALM THEY DID NOT KNOW WHAT THE CODE THAT IT WAS PUTTING OUT MEAN JUST THAT IT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE TRANSMISSION (LIES) FINALLY AFTER ALMOST A MONTH MY CAR STOPPED, I TOOK IT TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP AND IT WAS TOOK APART IS WHEN I WAS TOLD IT HAD COOLANT IN IT FROM THE RADIATOR THAT HAS CAUSE DAMAGE TO MY TRANSMISSION IT WAS THEN THAT I WENT ON LINE TO LEARN OF THIS PROBLEM I AM ASKING FOR A RECALL AND REIMBURSEMENT OF THIS COST DUE TO THE FACT THAT NISSAN KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. I WAS STATIONARY AT THE TIME OF THIS INCIDENT. AT THIS TIME MY CAR IS IN SHOP DUE TO THE FACT THAT I DO NOT HAVE OVER 3000 DOLLARS. I BROUGHT THIS CAR NEW IN 2007 AND I AM THE ONLY OWNER AND KEEP MY MAINTANCE UP

I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY, WHEN THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION STOPPED SHIFTING GEARS AND THE CAR DECELERATED. AFTER IT CAME TO A STOP, THE CAR WOULD NOT START AGAIN. AFTER TALKING TO MECHANICS, IT APPEARS THAT A DEFECT IN THE RADIATOR CAUSED THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION FLUID TO INTERMIX, WRECKING BOTH THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN XTERRA. WHILE PLACING FUEL IN THE VEHICLE, THE FUEL GAUGE FAILED TO DISPLAY THE ACCURATE READING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V075000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000.

I PURCHASED AN NISSAN XTERRA 2007 SUV IN 2008. CAN HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAIN. I RECENTLY TOOK TRIP AND IN MY WAY BACK CAR STARTED TO FEEL AND SOUND WEIRD.I JUST FELT DIFFERENT. I WENT TO NISSAN TO CHECK IT. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE BREAKS OR SOMETHING ELSE. BUT I WAS INFORMED THAT XTERRA HAD AN EXTENDED GUARANTEE ON THE TRANSMISSION BECAUSE THE COOLANT WAS LEAKING IN TO THE TRANSMISSION . IT WILL COST ME 2,500-3,000 TO FIX. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OR WARNED OF THIS DEFECT. WHY ???? I HAVE TO PAY THIS. I EVEN PURCHASED AN INSURANCE UP TO 60,000MILES CAR IS ONLY 76,351. VERY VERY UNFAIR.

I OWN A 2007 NISSAN XTERRA WITH 116643 MILES AND WAS JUST TOLD BY THE NISSAN DEALER THAT MY COOLANT IS LEAKING COOLANT FLUIDS INTO MY TRANSMISSION. UPON RESEARCH I DISCOVERED THAT NISSAN SETTLED A CLASS ACTION SUIT BUT THE OWNER IS STILL LIABLE FOR REPAIRS EVEN THOUGH THE RADIATOR WAS DEFECTIVE. THIS LEAKAGE WILL EVENTUALLY DESTROY MY TRANSMISSION.

I HAD NOTICED THAT THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE WOULD BOUNCE UP AND DOWN AND WHEN I WENT TO CHECK THE ANTIFREEZE IT WAS FULL OF PURPLE GOOP. I WAS TOLD THE COOLANT AND TRANSMISSION HAVE BEEN COMPROMISED. I TOOK VERY GOOD CARE OF THIS CARE WITH OIL CHANGE, ALL FLUID CHANGES AS WELL. I CAN'T NOT AFFORD TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM FIXED. THE SUV HAS BEEN PARKED SINCE THEN AND THAT WAS OVER 3 YEARS AGO. I WAS HOPING TO HAVE A RESOLUTION OF THIS WITH A RECALL.

I PURCHASED A 2007 NISSAN XTERRA, FOLLOWING MY GRADUATION FROM COLLEGE IN 2007. IT WAS THE FIRST AND ONLY NEW CAR I'VE PURCHASED. I HAVE BEEN METICULOUS ABOUT THE MAINTENANCE AND UPKEEP OF THE VEHICLE THE ENTIRE TIME I'VE OWNED IT. APPROXIMATELY 3 MONTHS AGO, IT STALLED WHILE I WAS DRIVING, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AND I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED HOME. THE XTERRA WAS DIAGNOSED WITH THE VERY COMMON (AND SEEMINGLY CRIMINAL) COOLANT AND TRANSMISSION CONTAMINATION. I WAS TOLD IT WILL COST $5, 500 TO REPAIR MY XTERRA, IT REQUIRES A NEW TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR, IT IS NON-DRIVABLE. I'VE SPENT $2,000 IN RENTAL CAR COSTS OVER THE LAST 2 MONTHS, THE DIAGNOSIS OF THE VEHICLE TOOK 4 WEEKS BY NISSAN. I CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY $5,500 TO REPAIR MY XTERRA. THE TRANSMISSION AND COOLANT CONTAMINATION ISSUE HAS LONG BEEN A KNOWN ISSUE BY NISSAN, PREVIOUS CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENTS DID NOTHING TO HELP THE CONSUMER. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY GOVERNING AGENCIES WON'T HOLD NISSAN ACCOUNTABLE. NISSAN HAS KNOWINGLY SOLD CONSUMERS DEFECTIVE VEHICLES FOR YEARS. THIS IS FRAUD AND SHOULD BE PUNISHABLE IN A COURT OF LAW. NISSAN SHOULD BE MORE PROACTIVE AND DO THE RIGHT THING IN ADDRESSING AND RECTIFYING THIS KNOWN DEFECT IN SEVERAL OF IT'S VEHICLES MADE OVER THE COURSE OF SEVERAL YEARS. THE CONSUMERS ARE SUFFERING. WE HAVE TO DO THE RIGHT THING, OR ELSE WE ARE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. I DON'T HAVE ANY OPTIONS AT THIS POINT AND IT'S NOT FAIR I DID WHAT I WAS SUPPOSED TO , INCLUDING PAYING $24,000 FOR A VEHICLE I CAN'T

OUR CAR HAD NO PICKUP WHEN TAKING OFF FROM STOP LIGHT AND MAKING A LEFT TURN. WE WERE CROSSING TRAFFIC WHICH MADE THIS QUITE SCARY AS WE ALMOST STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. WE PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT AND TURNED IT OFF. WOULDN'T START BACK UP AND THE GEAR INDICATOR ON THE DASH WASN'T SHOWING WHICH GEAR IT WAS IN. HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THE COOLANT LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION, WHICH IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR, AND CONTAMINATED THE TRANSMISSION AND THE SENSORS. I WAS NEVER CONTACTED ABOUT THIS ISSUE SO I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT IT UNTIL I WENT ONLINE AND SAW ALL OF THE OTHER COMPLAINTS FROM PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE. I JUST WENT OVER THE 100,000 MILE MARK THIS YEAR SO NISSAN WILL NOT FIX IT. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS ISN'T A RECALL ISSUE INSTEAD OF A WARRANTY EXTENSION ISSUE WITH NISSAN WILLING TO COVER THE COST OVER $3,000. WHO HAS $3,000 THAT THEY CAN AFFORD OR EVEN HAVE FOR THAT MATTER? I'VE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN AND AM HOPING THAT SOMEONE WILL HELP ME EITHER PAY FOR THIS OR GIVE ME FULL FAIR MARKET VALUE FOR THE CAR SO I CAN BUY ANOTHER ONE AND USE THIS AS A TRADE IN. NOT SURE THAT I'LL BUY A NISSAN THOUGH, IF THEY DON'T TAKE CARE OF ME, THAT'S FOR SURE. THE OTHER ISSUES THAT I'VE HAD WITH THIS CAR IS THE FUEL SENSOR WENT OUT, WHICH I'VE ALSO SEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS ON AND THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE HAS GONE OUT. NOT SURE IF THIS HAS BEEN SOMETHING THAT OTHERS HAVE EXPERIENCED OR NOT. ALL IN ALL THIS HAS BEEN A GRE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN XTERRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE STALLED AS THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT ABLE TO RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE RADIATOR AND THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,700.

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.

TIMING CHAIN FAILED. APPARENTLY NISSAN WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND ISSUED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN TO ITS DEALERS TO REPAIR THE ISSUE FOR THOSE WHO CAME IN, THE BULLETIN IS NTB09-128 DATE NOVEMBER 16, 2009. NISSAN KNEW OF THE ISSUE AND DID NO ISSUE A RECALL THE FIX IT FOR ALL OF THOSE EFFECTED. I WAN NOT NOTIFIED OF THIS BULLETIN BY THE DEALER AND WAS CHARGED FOR THE REPAIRS.

TIMING CHAIN SYSTEM IS FAILING DUE TO MANUFACTURER DEFECTIVE CHAIN GUIDES. NISSAN WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND ISSUED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN TO ITS DEALERS TO REPAIR THE ISSUE FOR THOSE WHO CAME IN, THE BULLETIN IS NTB09-128 DATE NOVEMBER 16, 2009. NISSAN KNEW OF THE ISSUE AND DID NO ISSUE A RECALL THE FIX IT FOR ALL OF THOSE EFFECTED.

TRANSMISSION APPEARS TO HAVE COOLANT MIXED INTO IT. ALSO THE FUEL SEND UNIT HAS FAILED

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN XTERRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WAS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO RANDOMLY STALL. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN WAS ISSUED AND INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY MANUFACTURER RECALL FOR THE FUEL GAUGE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. UPDATED 08/05/16*LJ *CN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN XTERRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHOOK VIOLENTLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FLUID MIXED WITH THE ANTIFREEZE AND THE RADIATOR FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 84,000.

I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN XTERRA AND THE RADIATOR LEAKED. I HAD NO IDEA THAT IN 2013 THEY HAD A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT AGAINST THEM FOR THIS VERY ISSUE. THE COOLANT LEAKS INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND DESTROYS IT. I WAS DRIVING WITH MY CHILD COMING OFF OF A HIGHWAY ONTO A ROTARY AND MY CAR SHIFTED DOWN AND I COULDN'T GET MY CAR TO MOVE MORE THAN 10MPH WHILE WE WERE IN INCOMING TRAFFIC. NISSAN WILL NOT RECALL THIS PROBLEM AND THEY SETTLED THE LAWSUIT EXTENDING THE WARRANTIES WITH A $3000 COPAY. IT'S CRIMINAL.

I BOUGHT NISSAN XTERRA WITH 94,000MILLES ON IT. ONE MONTH LATER, I NOTICED THAT THE RADIATOR WAS FILED WITH TYPE OF MILKY SUBSTANCE. I TOOK IT TO THE MECANIC, HE FLUSHED THE RAIDIATOR AND FLUSH THE TRANSMISSION, BECAUSE THERE WAS A POSSIBILITY OF CROSS CONTAMINATIONS. THE VEHICULE WAS FINE FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS, FEW DAYS LATER MY CAR COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN ON NEW JERSEY TURNPIKE. I STRUGGLED TO PUT ON THE SIDE, THANX GOD NOBODY WAS HURT. TRANSMISSION GONE. I HAD TO TOW IT TO THE MECANIC AND I HAD TO SPENT 3K TO GET IT FIX. IT SEENS THAT IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND NISSAN SHOULD TAKE RESPONSABILITY FOR THIS CAR

WHEN I AM DRIVINGING AT A SLOW SPEED , MY TRANSMISSION MAKES A NOISE AND THEN FEELS LIKE IT'S GOING TO DIE, NOW I HAVE NOTICED THAT THERE IS FLUID LEAKING FROM MY RADIATOR. WHEN I RESEARCHED THE ISSUE I WAS HAVING AND REALIZISED THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM THAT IS BEING REPORTED BY MANY NISSAN XTERRA OWNERS AND THAT NISSION HAS BEEN AWARE OF THIS ISSUE SINCE 2007 , WHEN I ORIGINALLY PURCHASED MY XTERRA . NOW THAT I UNDERSTAND WHAT THE ISSUE IS , THE RADIATOR IS LEAKING FLUID IN TO MY TRANSMISSION AND IS DESTROYING THE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR . IN DOING RESEARCH ON THE PROBLEM I WAS HAVING , AND WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THIS OCCURS , I'M FRIGHTENED TO EVEN DRIVE MY XTERRA AT THIS POINT . CONSIDERING THAT NISSAN TAKES NO RESPONSIBILITY IN WHAT SHOULD CLEARLY BE A RECALL , I'M STUCK WITH A CAR THAT I'VE JUST RECENTLY PAID OFF , THAT I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE AND DO NOT HAVE $4,700 TO HAVE THE RADIOS AND TRANSMISSION REPLACED . THERE WAS NO WARNING WHEN THIS HAPPENED AT ALL . I HAVE ALWAYS MAINTAINED MY NISSAN AND THOUGHT I HAD MADE A WELL INFORMED DECISION IN MY PURCHASE . I WILL NEVER DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY AGAIN . I'M SO DISAPPOINTED IN THE SITUATION NISSAN HAS PUT MYSELF AND APPARENTLY MANY , MANY OTHERS IN . NO WAY TO DO BUSINESS .

WAS HAVING TROUBLE WITH TRANSMISSION ON 07 NISSAN XTERRA. FOUND A LAWSUIT THAT HAD BEEN SETTLED WITH NISSAN INVOLVING FACTORY DEFECTS OF THE RADIATOR OIL COOLER WHICH LEAKS INTO TRANSMISSION AND DESTROYS TRANSMISSION. TOOK AN OIL SAMPLE FROM MY VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT COMPANY AND WAS TOLD THAT THEIR WAS ANTIFREEZE IN THE OIL. TOOK MY VEHICLE AND THE OIL SAMPLE INTO NISSAN SO THAT MY TRANSMISSION COULD BE REPLACED. ($2500 COST TO ME PER THE NISSAN LAWSUIT SETTLEMENT) SERVICE DEPARTMENT CALLED BACK AND TRIED TO TELL ME THAT WITHOUT DROPPING THE TRANSMISSION THAT THEY COULD TELL THAT THE ANTIFREEZE WAS NOT THE CAUSE OF MY FAILED TRANSMISSION. AFTER FURTHER DISCUSSION WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER WHO ADMITTED THAT THEY COULDN'T TELL WHAT CAUSED THE FAILURE OF MY TRANSMISSION AND THAT MY OIL SAMPLE PROVED THAT THE FACTORY DEFECT WAS THE MOST LIKELY CAUSE OF MY TRANSMISSION FAILURE, HE THEN PROCEEDED TO EXPLAIN THAT THEY HAD TO FOLLOW NISSAN PROCEDURE WHICH WAS A VISUAL INSPECTION. MY OIL SAMPLE TRUMPED THEIR VISUAL INSPECTION BUT THEY STILL REFUSED TO FIX MY VEHICLE EVEN UNDER THE LAWS OF THE NISSAN SETTLEMENT WHICH WAS SUPPOSED TO COVER MY VEHICLE. I FIRST STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WHILE DRIVING, MY XTERRA ALMOST DOESN'T EVEN RUN NOW AND IS DEFINITELY NOT ROAD SAFE ANY MORE YET NISSAN STILL WON'T FIX IT.

CAR BEGAN TO GO INTO NEUTRAL WHILE ON HIGHWAY 500 MILES FROM HOME. SCARED MY FAMILY TO DEATH. LOST POWER AT A HIGH SPEED. PROBLEM EBBED BUT CONTINUED ALL THE WAY HOME. NISSAN STATED RADIATOR FLUID HAD GOTTEN INTO TRANSMISSION DUE TO DEFECT IN TRANSMISSION LINE THAT WAS PASSING THROUGH THE RADIATOR. SAME NISSAN' DEALER'S CHEAPEST SOLUTION WAS TO PUT A USED TRANSMISSION IN FOR $3,500 PLUS LABOR. I CONTRACTED WITH A PRIVATE MECHANIC. I ALSO PURCHASED A SEPARATE SYSTEM TO ROUTE THE TRANSMISSION FLUID CORRECTLY IN THE FUTURE. MECHANIC SHOWED ME THE CLUTCHES WHICH WERE DESTROYED. HE MAY STILL HAVE THEM.

TRIED TO START CAR AND JUMPED CAR WITH NO SUCCESS. HAD TO BE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FLUIDS AND RADIATOR FLUIDS HAD COMBINED AND CORRUPTED THE COMPUTER THAT STARTS THE CAR.

TIMING CHAIN FAILURE AT 76000 MILES. NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT COST OF $1200.

NISSAN TRANSMISSION FLUID/RADIATOR COOLANT LEAK ISSUE: ROUGH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION BEHAVIOR NOTICED DURING STOP AND GO CITY DRIVING. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. REPAIR SHOP DIAGNOSED CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CODE AS TRANSMISSION TORQUE ISSUE, POINTING TO TRANSMISSION FLUID. REPAIR SHOP FOUND LEAK IN COOLANT RADIATOR SERVICING THE TRANSMISSION FLUID, RESULTING IN WATER/GLYCOL INTRUSION INTO THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. RADIATOR, AND COOLANT FLUID REPLACED, AS WELL AS TRANSMISSION FLUID FLUSHED/REPLACED. A FEW DAYS LATER, TRANSMISSION SLIPPAGE WAS FELT AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED AGAIN. EXPECTING TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN COMPROMISED DUE TO PRIOR, DEFECTIVE RADIATOR.

COMPLETE TRANSMISSION FAILURE WITHOUT WARNING. GOING 70 MILES PER HOUR DOWN INTERSTATE...DURING RUSH HR SURROUNDED BY 18 WHEELERS... PUTTING MY WIFE'S LIFE IN DANGER.... THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A SAFETY RECALL ISSUE.... THANKS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN XTERRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKED ONTO THE RADIATOR AND RUINED THE TRANSMISSION. THERE WAS NO WARNING INDICATOR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 123,000.

THE RADIATOR STARTED LEAKING COOLANT INTO THE TRANSMISSION. CAR WOULD START SHAKING WHILE DRIVING. NOW I NEED AN ENTIRE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION. IF THIS WAS KNOWN TO NISSAN, THEY SHOULD HAVE TO REPAIR.

MY FAMILY AND I WAS GOING DOWN A BIG HILL WHEN THE TRANSMISSION WENT TO THE LOWEST GEAR ON ITS OWN ALMOST STOPPING US DEAD IN ITS TRACKS 20 MPH AND WE WAS ON THE INTERSTATE MAKING BIG SEMI TRUCKS LOCKING BRAKES AND ALMOST HITTING US RUNNING 70 PLUS MPH. MY DAUGHTER IN THE BACK,SO WE MADE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD SHUT IT OFF AND WE WAS FINE AGIN.I TOOK IT HOME AND TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS IN THE RADIATOR , THEN LOOKING ON THE INTERNET THOUSANDS OF NISSANS ARE HAV ING THE SAME PROBLEMS BUT YET NO RECALLS!!! IT ALMOST COST OUR LIVES FOR A COMPANY TO SORRY TO FIX THEIR PRODUCT! SO WHAT DO I DO IM SCARED TO DRIVE IT HELP ASAP

EIGHT HOURS FROM HOME, THE TRUCK WOULD NOT START AND HAD TO BE TOWED. INITIAL LOCAL GARAGE COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. CHRIS MYERS NISSAN IN DAPHNE, AL, WAS THE CLOSEST DEALER. THEY WERE CALLED AND DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM OVER THE PHONE. IT IS A KNOWN DEFECT IN THESE VEHICLES THAT ALLOWS THE RADIATOR TO FAIL AND LEAK RADIATOR FLUID INTO THE TRANSMISSION, DESTROYING IT AND THE MODULE. THIS COST $5,225 TO REPAIR IN ADDITION TO THE TOW AND DRIVING BACK ANOTHER 8 HOURS TO RETRIEVE THE VEHICLE. NISSAN NA WAS COMPLETELY UNHELPFUL. DESPITE THIS KNOWN DEFECT, THEY REFUSED TO ASSIST WITH ANY COST. THEY PREVIOUSLY AGREED TO A COURT ORDER TO REPAIR THESE ISSUES BUT ONLY UNDER 80,000 MILES. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THESE VEHICLES THAT IS CERTAIN TO OCCUR IN ALL OF THEM. THIS DEFINITELY SHOULD BE A RECALL AND THEY ARE SHIRKING THEIR DUTY WITH THIS DEFECTIVE SYSTEM. THEIR SHOULD BE NO MILEAGE LIMIT AS THEY KNOW THIS WILL EVENTUALLY OCCUR WITH THESE VEHICLES.

I WAS DRIVING AND THE RPM EXCELERATED WITHOUT WARNING, THE CAR SHUTTERED, I HAD NO POWER. PRIOR TO THIS HAPPENING ON MARCH 26, 2016, WE DID NOT HAVE ANY WARNING OF A PROBLEM. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AT WHICH TIME I HAD ALREADY PULLED OVER. I HAD THE SUV TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP. THE REPAIR SHOP ADVISED ME THAT THE INTERNAL RADIATOR DUMPED WATER INTO THE TRANSMISSION CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION TO BURN UP. IT IS NOT REPAIRABLE. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, WE FOUND THAT THERE IS A PENDING CASE REGARDING THIS DEFECT (DP12004) ON MOST NISSANS AFFECTING MODELS MADE IN 2004-2012. THIS STATES THAT THE INVESTIGATION IS PENDING AND A RECALLL HAS BEEN REQUESTED BUT NISSAN HAS NOT ISSUED ONE AS YET. THANK GOODNESS I WAS NOT TRYING TO PASS OR TURN AT THE TIME IT OCCURRED. I WAS DRIVING ON A RURAL ROAD AND WAS ABLE TO SAFELY PULL OVER. THERE WAS NO WARNING AT ALL. NISSAN SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR WHAT IS A DEFECT IN THEIR VEHICLES. WE BOUGHT THE CAR USED AND WILL TRY TO WORK WITH THE FINANCE COMPANY ON WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS DEFECT.

TRANSMISSION FAILURE: WHILE DRIVING CAR BEGAN TO SPUTTER LIKE ENGINE OR DRIVE SHAFT WAS STUCK, SPEED AND POWER DECREASED RAPIDLY IN TRAFFIC NEARLY CAUSING ME TO CRASH VEHICLE LOOKING FOR A WAY TO GET OUT OF DRIVING LANE. I PULLED IN A PARKING LOT TURNED VEHICLE OFF, TO INSPECT TIRES, ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION FLUID. CHECKING FLUIDS NOTICED TRANSMISSION FLUID THICK LIKE A MILK SHAKE, CHECKED COOLANT, IT TOO WAS THE SAME. ALL THIS OUT OF NO WHERE. I GOOGLED PROBLEM AND FOUND MANY WITH SAME ISSUE AND THAT CAR WOULDNT START ALSO DUE TO WET ELECTRICAL PARTS IN TRANSMISSION THAT POPS A BREAKER NOT ALLOWING RESTART. I CHECK 10 AMP FUSE, IT WAS BROKEN. GOT CAR TOWED TO NEAR FAMILY HOME, BEGAN RESEARCHING AND FIND OUT THAT NISSAN WAS AWARE OF TRANS COOLER PROBLEM THAT WILL CAUSE TRANSMISSION FAILURE. ALSO, THAT THIS ISSUE MOST LIKELY HAPPENS AFTER 100,000 MILES, WHICH I ALSO FOUND OUT NISSAN ONLY COVERED THIS UNDER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY WITH CO-PAY TO THAT AMOUNT, WHICH I NEVER WAS NOTIFIED OF THIS ISSUE. MY CAR WAS FINANCED WITH A MAJOR US BANK, SAME EMAILS SINCE PURCHASE. I WENT TO DEALER, CALLED NISSN NORTH AMERICA AND WAS QUICKLY DIMISSED WITH MY VEHICLE HAS TO MANY MILES AND CAMPAIGN IS OVER AND WONT SPEAK FUTHER DUE TO SOME LAWSUIT. REALLY?? I LIVE IN ILLINOIS WHERE ITS COLD, WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU BREAK DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF NO WHERE? THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN TO A CAR LIKE THIS, ME BEING THE ONLY OWNER AND JUST HAD NISSAN INSPECT MY VEHICLE DUE TO ENGINE LIGHT BEING ON PREVIOUSLY. TH

TRANSMISSION BEGAN FAILING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. CAR WOULD INTERMITTENTLY SLOW SUDDENLY AND BEGIN SHAKING AS IF RIDING ON A VERY ROUGH ROAD. NISSAN DEALER INFORMED US THIS WAS A KNOWN DEFECT WHEREIN THE RADIATOR FLUID AND THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID BECAME CROSS CONTAMINATED, RESULTING IN TRANSMISSION FAILURE. ALTHOUGH NISSAN KNEW OF THIS ISSUE, THEY DID NOT INFORM US TO HAVE OUR CAR INSPECTED FOR THIS PROBLEM. NISSAN CURRENTLY COVERS THIS PROBLEM UP TO 8 YEARS AND 80,000 MILES, BUT WE ARE JUST OUTSIDE THIS LIMIT.

MY TRANSMISSION IS NOW USELESS BECAUSE THERE WAS A RADIATOR LEAK? THIS ISN'T VERY SAFE AS IT COULD HAVE MESSED UP MY DRIVING!!!!

OUR 2007 NISSAN XTERRA HAD A LEAK IN THE RADIATOR, THAT COST $500 TO FIX, BUT IT LEAKED RADIATOR FLUID INTO THE TRANSMISSION WHICH IS GOING TO COST $3,500 TO $5,000 TO FIX.
