I NOTICED THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT COME ON 3/13/2013. TODAY, 3/15 I TOOK IT TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP THAT I GET MY VEHICLE SERVICED AT AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE FUEL SENDING UNIT IS MALFUNCTIONING AND THE PRICE TO FIX IT. THEY ALSO MENTIONED THAT THEY HAVE SEEN THIS PROBLEM A FEW TIMES NOW WITH OTHER XTERRA MODELS. I MENTIONED TO THEM THAT I CANNOT AFFORD THE REPAIR AT THIS TIME AND THEY SUGGESTED I KEEP IT FULL AND IT SHOULDN'T BE A PROBLEM. I GOT HOME AND LOOKED UP THE PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE AND IT SEEMS THAT A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, AND NOT ONLY WITH XTERRAS BUT WITH PATHFINDERS AND FRONTIERS AS WELL, AS THEY ARE ALL BASED ON THE SAME DRIVETRAIN. NISSAN IS NOT COVERING THIS PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH ITS VEHICLES. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
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
