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

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG ACTIVATION LIGHT IS INTERMITTENTLY SIGNALLY OFF WHEN PASSENGER IS SEATED. USUALLY OCCURS ON RESTART DURING LONG DISTANCE TRIPS. NISSAN REPAIR CAN NOT DUPLICATE. CUSTOMER SERVICE IS PURPOSELY TIME CONSUMING, PLAYS DUMB AND GENERALLY RUDE. THIS FAILURE OCCURS ON 30% OF OUR LONG TRIPS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, MY NISSAN IS NOT MEETING MINIMUM SAFETY REGULATIONS A LARGE PART OF THE TIME. THIS ALSO HAPPENED IN A NISSAN RENTAL PROVIDED RECENTLY. NISSAN EMPLOYEES TRY TO INSTRUCT CUSTOMERS ON HOW TO SIT DURING DISCUSSIONS.....TRULY FRUSTRATING... *TR
