2010 Nissan Xterra Complaint Log

After getting the air bag control module reprogrammed per the recall, I was on a dirt road and the rollover airbags deployed when they shouldn’t have. The dealership I got the recall done at is claiming the airbag system registered “rollover conditions”. When I asked what the conditions were they told me they were unable to provide them. I am concerned either their reprogramming didn’t fix the issue or that they never actually reprogrammed it. Either way my airbags deployed when I was no where near a roll over situation and luckily no one was injured in this instance

THE NISSAN WAS IN A SEVERE ACCIDENT AND THE AIR BAG NEVER DEPLOYED. THERE WERE 4 PEOPLE IN CAR WHEN THE ACCIDENT OCCURED. THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG DID DEPLOY AND THOSE TWO PEOPLE RECEVED INJURIES BUT NOT LIFE THREATING. THE DRIVERS SIDE WHERE THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY CAUSED SIGNIFICANT INJURIES THE DRIVER HAD MAJOR SPINAL SURGERY INWHICH SHE HAD TO DO REHABILITATION TO WALK AGAIN FOR 8 MONTHS. THE BACK SEAT PASSENGER HAD TO BE AIR LIFTED TO A HOSPITAL AND 18 MONTHS LATER IS STILL PARALYZED AND UNABLE TO WALK. SHE IS CURRENTLY STILL IN A REHABILITATION HOME.

The contact owns a 2010 Nissan Xterra. The contact stated that he received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V067000 (Air Bags); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer was contacted. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. The VIN was not available.

My air bag quit working. The light started going off. I took it to Nissan and they said I had to pay to have the light turned off before they would fix the recall. I could not afford to pay to have the light turned off. The line connecting to my transmission and radiator has failed. Transmission fluid is leaking into my radiator and coolant is leaking into my transmission. Both must be replaced. The repair shop looked up the recall and said that was why this happened. I cannot afford thousands of dollars to have this repaired. My car is 10 years old with 163k miles.

The passenger side airbag sensor broke , sensor that detects a person in the seat and engages the airbag, took it to dealer to fix and was told Nissan no longer supports that part and should go to a junk yard and pull a a seat cushion and install it myself.

The contact owns a 2010 Nissan Xterra equipped with Interco Tires, Tire line: LTB-02 SST LTB, Tire Size: 31/11.5/16LT. The contact stated that the while her son was driving approximately 65 mph, a loud noise suddenly occurred. After stopping and inspecting the vehicle, the driver discovered that the front driver’s side tire had experienced tread separation. Approximately one month later the same failure occurred to the front passenger’s side tire. The cause of the failures was not determined. The local dealer and manufacturer were notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 5,000.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND STEADILY FLASHES. I LIVE IN A COASTAL AREA WITH HIGH HUMIDITY AND AM CONCERNED THAT THIS IS A CORROSION ISSUE IN THE SENSOR

THIS IS A COMPLIANT FOR THE WELL KNOWN RADIATOR ISSUE. OURS RUPTURED AND RUINED THE TRANSMISSION COSTING US ABOUT $6K IN REPAIRS.

AT A LITTLE OVER 180,000 MILES NEED A NEW REAR DIFFERENTIAL. READ ON AN XTERRA FORUM THE SPTHIDER GEARS WERE NOT HEAT TREATED PROPERLY BY THE MANUFACTURER WHICH CAUSES REAR DIFFERENTIALS TO FAIL.THE VEHICLE WAS NEVER DRIVEN OFF ROAD OR TOWED ANYTHING. IT SHOULD NOT HAVE FAILED.

AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON

AIRBAG LIGHT FLASHES WHEN LIGHT IS RESET IT FLASHES AGAIN AFTER A FEW MILES HORN DOESN'T WORK UNABLE TO WARN OTHER DRIVERS & PEDESTRIANS

DRIVER'S DOOR LOCK EITHER STAYS LOCKED AND YOU ARE UNABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE, OR, THE LOCK DOES NOT LATCH SO THE DOOR SWINGS OPEN. THIS HAPPED BOTH WHILE PARKED AND WHILE DRIVING.

INTERMITTENT STALLING ISSUE. VEHICLE HAS 98,700 MILES ON IT AND HAS NOT HAD ANY OTHER ISSUES PRIOR TO THIS. ON THE FIRST OCCASION THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, GOING BETWEEN 5 AND 10 MPH, TURNING INTO A PARKING LOT. THE VEHICLE START TO SLOW DOWN, LOST POWER STEERING AND ALL DASHBOARD LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED (CHECK ENGINE, BATTERY, AIRBAG, SEATBELT, ETC.) BUT THE RADIO AND HEADLIGHTS REMAINED ON. PLACED THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND TURNED THE KEY IN THE OFF POSITION. RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND IT STARTED UP IMMEDIATELY WITH NO DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHTS. WAS DRIVABLE WITH NO OTHER ISSUES FOR SEVERAL DAYS. THE VEHICLE STALLED A SECOND TIME ABOUT A WEEK OR SO LATER, WHILE IT WAS STATIONARY, AT A STOP LIGHT ON A CITY STREET. AGAIN, ALL THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS ILLUMINATED WHILE THE RADIO AND HEADLIGHTS REMAINED ON. TURNED THE KEY TO THE OFF POSITION AND ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE STARTED WITH NO PROBLEMS AND NO DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHTS. THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATIONAL AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME WITH NO ISSUES. I TOOK IT TO A TRUSTED MECHANIC AFTER BOTH INTERMITTENT STALLS. HE RAN DIAGNOSIS TESTS AFTER BOTH INCIDENTS AND NO CODES SHOWED UP. THE MECHANIC BELIEVES IT IS THE ECM RELAY THAT IS CAUSING THE ISSUE AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH. A NEW BATTERY WAS INSTALLED BETWEEN STALLS THINKING THIS WAS THE CULPRIT. THE SECOND STALL OCCURRED THE DAY AFTER THE NEW BATTERY INSTALL.

No warning lamps had my vehicle repeatedly looked at was told that my vehicle had no transmission warninfsigns was told by mechanic to replace the radiator I replaced the radiator and then the vehicle stopped running now I have transmission fluid mixed with my radiator fluid and the vehicle doesn't run at all I repeatedly took it back to the shop Tobe fixed was told igot a bad radiator yet I know it wasn't bad I contacted my insurance company everyone failed to inform me that this vehicle had aknown transmission problem by Nissan and failed to disclose it to me

SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 10-15 MPH. IMMEDIATE LOSS OF BRAKES, ACCELERATION, AND POWER STEERING. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON THE 405 FWY/SEPULVEDA PASS AREA DURING MORNING RUSH HOUR IN STOP-GO TRAFFIC CONDITIONS. WAS ABLE TO PULL TO SIDE OF ROAD, AND SHUT OFF VEHICLE. WAITED 1 MINUTE AND VEHICLE RESTARTED WITH NO FURTHER ISSUES ON DRIVE TO WORK. FROM A REVIEW OF ONLINE RESOURCES THIS LOOKS EERILY SIMILAR TO ISSUE OUTLINED IN PRIOR RECALL ISSUED BY NHTSA LISTED UNDER NTB10-137. THIS IS SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS, AND COULD EASILY RESULT IN LOSS OF LIFE!

NISSAN XTERRA HAS FAULTY ABS ACTUATOR AND IS LESS THAN 10 YEARS OLD. THE VEHICLES ABS, BRAKE, SLIP, AND VDC LIGHTS WILL COME ON WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. THE LIGHTS WILL GO OFF AND COME BACK ON PERIODICALLY. AFTER INSPECTION AT DEALERSHIP, IT WAS DETERMINED TO BE A BAD ABS ACTUATOR.

MY 2010 XTERRA LIGHTS FOR ABS SLIP AND VDC GO OFF AFTER THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO MOVE ONLY. IF THE AUTO IS IDLE THE LIGHTS DO NOT COME ON AT ALL. I DO HAVE A TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT THAT COMES ON AND OFF ALSO BUT IT STAYS ON ON ONCE IT FINALLY GOES ON. I BELIEVE THIS IS PART OF THE NISSAN XTERRA 2009 RECALL AND SHOULD BE HANDLED IMMEDIATELY AS SUCH.

MY AIR BAG SENSOR LIGHT CAME ON, TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY TOLD ME THAT MY AIR BAGS HAVE BEEN DISABLED BECAUSE OF A FAULT IN THE SPIRAL CABLE IN MY STEERING COLUMN. THEY TOLD ME THE PART COST $460 TO REPLACE. THEY SAID IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WHICH CAUSED THE SEAT BELTS TO BE DEACTIVATED. THEY TOLD ME TO FIX IT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY BECAUSE IT WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT A SAFETY FEATURE SUCH AS AN AIR BAG SHOULD NOT HAVE A WARRANTY EXPIRATION. WHEN I TOLD THEM I DIDN'T HAVE THE $460 THEY SAID MAKE SURE YOU WEAR YOUR SEAT BELT BECAUSE YOUR AIR BAGS WILL NOT WORK. THE IRONIC THING IS THAT I WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE OF A SAFETY RECALL BECAUSE THE AIR BAGS WOULD AUTOMATICALLY DEPLOY WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. IT SEEMS NISSAN DOESN'T CARE IF YOUR AIR BAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY IF IT IS NOT STILL COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY.

CRACKED RADIATOR LEAKING COOLANT INTO THE TRANSMISSION. WHEN IT MIXES WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID, IT RUINED TRANSMISSION AND RADIOTOR. OVER AN $4000 BILL!

THE VALVE ASSEMBLY AND ENGINE CONTROL COMPUTERS FAILED. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START. THE REPAIR ESTIMATE IS $3761.00.

WHEN OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE FALLS BELOW 40 DEGREES XTERRA WILL NOT START. VEHICLE IS STATIONARY AND NOT PARKED IN A GARAGE. BATTERY WAS REPLACED 11 MONTHS AGO TRYING TO FIX THE SAME PROBLEM. NO OTHER MAJOR ISSUES WITH VEHICLE EVER. VEHICLE JUST TOWED YESTERDAY DEALER WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DIAGNOSE UNTIL MONDAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 NISSAN XTERRA. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND INSPECTED, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE LOWER CONTROL ARMS WERE FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRONT LOWER CONTROL ARMS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,200. UPDATED 01/25/2017*CT *TR

UNABLE TO FIND THE AIRBAG RECALL.

MY ECU ON MY NISSAN XTERRA WAS SUPPOSEDLY SHORTED DUE TO A LOOSE OR DAMAGED CABLE. WITH MY INITIAL INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE, THE CABLE WAS NOT LOOSE, YET I STILL HAD PROBLEMS. THE ISSUE HAPPENED WHEN I HAD PARKED MY VEHICLE TO RUN AN ERRAND. WHEN I RETURNED, I STARTED UP MY VEHICLE AND ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE. THERE WAS NO POWER AND THE ENGINE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE OVER 5 MPH. NOT WANTING THE VEHICLE TO BREAKDOWN ON A BUSY ROAD, I BACKED UP AND PARKED THE VEHICLE. I ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE, BUT THIS TIME THE STARTER WOULD CRANK, BUT WOULD NOT TURN OVER. AFTER ATTEMPTING TO START IT A FEW TIMES, I DISCONNECTED THE BATTERIES AND RECONNECTED THE BATTERIES. STILL, THE VEHICLE WOULD CRANK AND NOT TURN OVER. I CALLED A TOW TRUCK, AND THEY BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO FIRESTONE. FIRESTONE TOLD ME THAT THE BATTERY CABLES HAD SHORTED AND DESTROYED TEH ECU/ECM. I WAS QUOTED 1500 FOR A PIECE OF EQUIPMENT THAT SHOULD LAST THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD. THIS SOUNDED LIKE A VERY INTENSIVE PROCESS, SO I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO NISSAN. AGAIN, THEY SAID IT WAS THE ECU/ECM. NISSAN TOLD ME THAT THE CABLES, THE BATTERY AND THE ECU NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. NISSAN HAS HAD PAST ISSUES WITH 2010 VEHICLES SHORTING OUT AND DESTROYING THE ECU'S. I BELIEVE THAT IT IS NISSAN'S FAULTY ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS OR POORLY CONSTRUCTED ECU'S THAT IS CAUSING THE DAMAGE. FOR SUCH AN EXPENSIVE PIECE OF EQUIPMENT TO BE RENDERED USELESS BY HAVING AN IMPORPER BATTERY CONNECTION SEEMS PROBLEMATIC AND POTENTIALLY UNSAFE. IT IS PROBLEMATIC, DUE TO TEH HISTORY OF NISSAN'S CABLES BECOMING CORRODED DUE TO THEIR BATTERY POSITION. LIKEWISE, THERE HAVE BEEN MANY CONSUMER COMPLAINTS THAT THE BATTERY TERMINALS ARE POORLY MADE, RESULTING IN VEHICLE FAILURE. THIS CAN BE DANGEROUS, FOR IF THE BATTERY TERMINALS FAIL, IT CAN CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO STOP FUNCTIONING, EVEN WHEN IT HAS BEEN STARTED.

TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING AND CLUNKING DURING MID-RANGE GEARS WHILE ACCELERATING. REPAIRED AT RAPID TRANSMISSIONS AT 3905 CONVOY STREET, SAN DIEGO, CA 92111. RADIATOR WAS LEAKING COOLANT INTO TRANSMISSION COOLER CONTAMINATING TRANSMISSION FLUID WITH COOLANT DAMAGING THE VALVE BODY, ELECTRONICS AND FRICTION MATERIALS. HAD TO REPLACE VALVE BODY AND FRICTION MATERIALS AND REMAN TORQUE CONVERTER AND BYPASS RADIATOR FOR TRANSMISSION COOLING. COST OUT OF POCKET: $3564.73 (DETAILED RECEIPT AVAILABLE)

JULY 2015,CAR QUIT STEERING NO WARNING. TURNED OUT TO BE RACK AND PINION WENT OUT.COST $1900 TO REPLACE . THEN SEPTEMBER 2015 CAR JUST QUIT BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION WAS NOT WORKING, HAD TO TOTALLY REPLACE WITH A NEW ONE WAS NON REPAIRABLE. COST WAS $4970.00 MACHANIC SAID REASON WAS THAT ENGINE COOLANT MIXED IN WITH TRANSMISSION FLUID.

MANUAL CLUTCH FAILED WITHOUT WARNING AT FREEWAY SPEED, WITH ONLY 49,000 MILES DRIVEN. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY VEHICLE DRIVERS HAVE OWNED AND DRIVEN MULTIPLE MANUAL CLUTCH VEHICLES FOR MANY YEARS. VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW AND RECEIVED ALL SERVICES FROM DEALER. DRIVER WAS LUCKY TO BE ABLE TO GET VEHICLE OFF FREEWAY. INTERNET POSTS INDICATE XTERRA MANUAL CLUTCH FAILURES AT THIS MILEAGE ARE COMMON, BECAUSE CLUTCH MECHANISM USED BY NISSAN IS DESIGNED FOR MUCH LIGHTER NISSAN VEHICLES.

I WAS TRAVELING AT 25 (NO MORE THAN 30) MPH WHEN ANOTHER VEHICLE COLLIDED WITH MINE. THE OTHER VEHICLE DID CLIP THE MIDDLE 1/3 AND ENTIRE PASSENGER SIDE OF MY XTERRA. THE HOOD WAS CRUSHED TO THE FIRST THIRD OF THE FRONT PASSENGER WHEEL WELL, TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR FLUIDS WERE LEAKING FROM THE SUV, GRILL WAS OBLITERATED, FRONT PASSENGER HEADLIGHT WAS CRUSHED INTO THE BATTERY (THAT LEAKS DUE TO THE ACCIDENT), AND THE FRONT BUMPER WAS IMPINGING THE FRONT PASSENGER WHEEL FROM FREELY MOVING. THE AIRBAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED, BUT DID NOT. THE VEHICLE IS NOT DRIVABLE AND HAD TO BE TOWED. I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE I BELIEVE THAT THE SEVERITY OF IMPACT SHOULD HAVE RESULTED IN AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 NISSAN XTERRA. DURING COLD TEMPERATURES, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE EMC MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

I STARTED THE CAR TO LET IT WARM UP. THE MANUAL GEARSHIFT WAS IN NEUTRAL AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS ENGAGED. AS I GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE, IT LURCHED FORWARD AND I ATTEMPTED TO GET BACK INTO THE VEHICLE TO APPLY THE BRAKE. IT LURCHED A SECOND TIME BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO GET INSIDE. I ATTEMPTED TO GET INSIDE THE VEHICLE A SECOND TIME TO APPLY THE BRAKE BUT WAS NOT ABLE TO DUE TO THE CAR LURCHING FORWARD AGAIN.. ON THE THIRD "LURCH" IT CONTINUED TO DRIVE FORWARD, HITTING MY MOTHER'S PARKED CAR AND PUSHING IT BACK APPROXIMATELY 3-4 FEET INTO THE BACK WALL OF HER CARPORT. FINALLY, THE ENGINE DIED AND I WAS ABLE TO RESTART IT, BACK IT AWAY FROM MY MOTHER'S CAR, AND ASSESS THE DAMAGE TO HER VEHICLE AND MY BODY. I PURCHASED THIS USED VEHICLE 12 DAYS AGO. *TR

VEHICLE IS JUST OVER 2 YEARS OLD AND THE ENTIRE BACK BUMPER ALREADY HAS RUST/CORROSION, THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE WITH XTERRAS BUT ITS SO RUSTED IF IMPACTED IN THE REAR IT HAS THE POTENTIAL FOR THE REAR BUMPER TO FAIL. AND NISSAN WONT COVER THE BUMPER IN WARRANTY EVEN EXTENDED $2000 WARRANTY. VEHICLE HAS BEEN RUSTING SLOWLY OVER THE PAST FEW MONTHS. *TR

MY SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND HAD THE SYSTEM DIAGNOSED. IT WAS A BAD FUEL SENDING UNIT. I ONLY HAD 37200 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. I CONTACTED NISSAN AND SURROUNDING DEALERSHIPS AND GOT THE "IT'S OUT OF WARRANTY" SPEECH. THE SHOP THAT PERFORMED THE WORK MENTIONED THEY HAVE HAD A LOT OF NISSANS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I STILL HAVE THE RECEIPT AND IF THERE IS A RECALL ISSUED, I WOULD LIKE TO GET MY MONEY BACK. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 NISSAN XTERRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 3 MPH, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO MAKE A LOUD NOISE AND JERK VIOLENTLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER INSPECTING THE VEHICLE HE NOTICED THAT THE BOLTS THAT HELD THE DRIVE SHAFT IN PLACE WERE DETACHED AND CAUSING THE DRIVE SHAFT TO BECOME LOOSE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO VERIFIED THE FAILURE AND REPLACED THE BOLTS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE WHO DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,160 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 25,360. UPDATED 04/23/12

I HAVE A 2010 NISSAN XTERRA I BOUGHT IN AUG 2010. I AM CONSTANTLY HAVING TO BRING IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS WITH SAME 3-4 ISSUES. IT NOW HAS APPRX 8000 MILES AND NEEDS A NEW SET OF TIRES WHICH NISSAN IS REFUSING TO CHANGE. THE GAS GAUGE IS CONSTANTLY NOT WORKING, DOES NOT READ PROPERLY, I FINALLY HAD TO PROVE IT TO THEM THIS PAST WEEK AFTER COMPLAINING NUMEROUS TIME AND HAVING THEM, REPLACE THE GAS SENSOR ONE . THE ENGINE HESITATES AT APPRX 40 MILES AN HOUR, ONE OF THESE DAYS I AM AFRAID I WILL BE HIT FROM BEHIND WHEN I STEP ON THE GAS AND IT DOES NOT GO. I AM DEALING WITH CORPORATE NISSAN BUT THE KEEP PUTTING ME OFF. I FEEL IT HAS BECOME A DANGER. THE DEALER SAYS ITS UP TO NISSAN, NISSAN SAYS ITS NOT THEM SO I AM STUCK WITH BAD TIRES ON MY NEW VEHICLE, THEY ARE GENERAL TIRES. THEY HAVE INDENTED DIMPLES, SIDE WALLS ARE WEARING OUT AND TREAD IS WEARING UNEVEN. THE FIRST SET WAS REPLACED AROUND 3000-4000 MILES. THE ENGINE HESITATION AND THE GAS SENSOR I AM CONSTANTLY GETTING EXCUSES FOR THOSE ISSUES. SO FAR THE TIRES HAVE BEEN REPLACED ONCE AND NEED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN I WAS TOLD NO, GAS SENSOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AGAIN THAT IS TO BE DONE POSSIBLY IN THE FUTURE. WHAT ABOUT MY ENGINE ISSUE. I FEEL LIKE I HAVE A POSSIBLE LEMON? MY TRUCK IS IN THE SHOP SO MUCH THE DEALERSHIP HAS A KEY TO IT. HOW DO I FIND OUT IF THOSE TIRES ARE SAFE TO DRIVE ON THEM? I CAN NOT HAVE MY LIFE AND THE PEOPLE WHO DRIVE WITH ME IN DANGER. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE SENSOR FOR THE GAS GAGE- THAT WAS REPLACED I STILL HAVE ISSUES. OBVIOUS THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE IF THEY REPLACED THE TIRES ONCE AND NOW 4000 MILES LATER THE NEW TIRES ARE BAD AGAIN. THE DEALERSHIP SAID I MIGHT WANT TO ROTATE THE TIRES EVERY 3000 MILES. ALL 4 TIRES HAD TO BE REPLACED AND ALL 4 TIRES ARE GOING BAD AGAIN. *TR

VEHICLE PARKING BRAKE DOES NOT HOLD DUE TO REAR AXLE SEAL LEAKING FLUID CONTAMINATING PARKING BRAKE SHOES. ISSUE IS COVERED UNDER TSB VIA NHTSA ITEM NUMBER 10033306, BUT NISSAN WILL NOT COVER UNDER WARRANTY DESPITE BEING A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

I AM WRITING TO REPORT REPEATED PROBLEMS WITH MY VEHICLE, AN XTERRA 2010. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT RISK OF CRASH AND DAMAGE TO THE TRANSMISSION. THE PROBLEMS INCLUDE - SLOW ACCELERATION ON SURFACE STREETS AFTER LIGHT CHANGES ? THIS HAPPENS FREQUENTLY. - SLOW ACCELERATION WHEN ENTERING THE EXPRESSWAY, CAR SHIFTS GEARS SLOWLY ? THIS HAPPENS FREQUENTLY, - CAR FILLS WITH KEROSENE OR EXHAUST SMELL FOR A SHORT TIME, EVEN WHEN THERE ARE NO OTHER CARS AROUND ? THIS OCCURS OCCASIONALLY, - CAR REVVED UP FOLLOWED BY A SWEET SMELL (LIKE COOLANT/ANTIFREEZE) WHEN STANDING AT STOP LIGHTS ? THIS OCCURS OCCASIONALLY, AND - SIGNIFICANT VIBRATION. I HAVE REPORTED THE PROBLEMS WHEN CAR IS SERVICED. IMMEDIATELY AFTER PURCHASE AND FOR MORE THAN A YEAR I WAS TOLD THE ACCELERATION AND SHIFTING ISSUES WOULD SUBSIDE AFTER THE ENGINE ADJUSTED. DURING THE LAST SERVICE, THE VIBRATION ISSUE WAS ADDRESSED BUT THE OTHER ISSUES CONTINUE. I RECEIVED NOTICE OF A CLASS ACTION SUIT REGARDING XTERRA TRANSMISSION AND OTHER ISSUES. WHILE LOOKING INTO THE SUIT I DISCOVERED PROBLEMS WITH THE XTERRA ARE WIDESPREAD. I NEED YOUR ASSISTANCE TO CORRECT PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR ? PLEASE ADVISE OPTIONS AVAILABLE TO CORRECT ISSUES BEFORE THEY GET WORSE. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR ADVISE ON HOW TO PROCEED. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 NISSAN XTERRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH PULLING A SMALL TRAILER HE LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND CRASHED INTO THE GUARD RAIL CAUSING THE TRAILER TO ROLL OVER. THE CONTACT SUFFERED INJURIES TO THE BACK AND PSYCHOLOGICAL DAMAGE AS WELL. THE VEHICLE STARTED SHAKING BEFORE HE LOST CONTROL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ALIGNMENT WAS ABNORMAL WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED BUT HE WAS UNAWARE OF THE BAD WHEEL ALIGNMENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS AT FAULT AND SHOULD NOT HAVE SOLD THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200.

MY 2005 XTERRA IS HAVING SAME PROBLEM AS THE RECALLED 2006 XTERRA WITH THE FUEL GAUGE AND RUNNING OUT OF GAS...BUT THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO GET MINE FIXED COSTING NEARLY $500.00....THE 2005 XTERRAS SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL AS MANY ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THE FUEL GAUGE... *TR
