| 2005 | POWER TRAIN | I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WHEN SUDDENLY THE CAR STALLED. PRESSED ON THE GAS AND CAR WOULD NOT MOVE JUST HUMMING SOUND. I KNEW THAT IT HAD TO BE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. HAD CAR TOWED TO TRANSMISSION SHOP. THEY NOTIFIED ME THAT THERE HAD BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE NISSAN. AFTER LOOKING AT THE CAR THEY SAW THAT THE RADIATOR HAD A CRACK AND THAT COOLANT HAD LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION. AFTER TAKING THE TRANSMISSION APART I WAS NOTIFIED THAT THE SEALS, VALVES, TORQUE CONVERTER, INCLUDING THE COMPUTER WERE ALL DAMAGED, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD HAVE TO BE FLUSHED REPLACED OR REPAIRED, THE RADIATOR FLUSHED REPLACED OR REPAIRED, THE ENGINE FLUSHED. ALL THIS COSTING ABOUT $4,000. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN KNOWN TO NISSAN AND I WAS NEVER INFORMED. I'M 65 AND ON FIXED INCOME. I NEED THIS CAR AND NEED HELP. *TR |
| 2002 | STRUCTURE | 2002 NISSAN XTERRA: THE SPARE TIRE HOLDER WINCH MECHANISM IN NE REGIONS RUSTS (FROM WHAT I GATHER IN ON LINE RESEARCH THE PROBLEM IS RAMPANT) AND FREEZES NOT ALLOWING YOU TO LOWER THE TIRE TO REPLACE A FLAT. I HAD A FLAT ON A VERY BUSY ROAD. I COULD NOT LOWER THE SPARE AND BENT THE ROD. CALLED AAA. HAD TO HAVE FLAT TIRE TAKEN OFF AND REPAIRED BEFORE I COULD MOVE AGAIN. VERY DANGEROUS TO NOT BE ABLE TO REPAIR FLAT. AFTER I WENT TO TIRE STORE. THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO RELEASE WINCH AND INDICATED THEY SEE THE ISSUE VERY OFTEN IN NISSAN SUVS. THEY SAID MY ONLY OPTION WAS TO CUT OFF WINCH MECHANISM AND KEEP SPARE IN BACK OF VEHICLE. AFTER DECLINING, I DID RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THIS PROBLEM IS VERY COMMON. THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALLS THAT I COULD FIND ON LINE AND I STILL HAVE NOT FOUND A REASONABLE FIX. *TR |
