I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF A 2005 NISSAN XTERRA. I HAVE HAD ALL REPAIRS AND SERVICES DONE AT DEALERSHIP AND HAD AN EXTENDED WARRANTY UNTIL APPROX 94K MILES. I BROUGHT XTERRA TO DEALERSHIP IN AUGUST 2011 FOR SERVICE AND WAS ADVISED AT THAT TIME THAT I HAD COMPLETE TRANSMISSION FAILURE BUT NOT TO WORRY BECAUSE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED AND THEY WERE NEVER ABLE TO TELL ME WHY THE TRANSMISSION FAILED IN THE FIRST PLACE. I HAD A WARRANTY ON THE NEW TRANSMISSION FOR 12K MILES TO APPROX 104K MILES. I BROUGHT MY XTERRA TO DEALERSHIP IN MAY 2012 FOR JERKING AT APPROX 105K MILES, JUST PAST THE NEW TRANSMISSION WARRANTY. I WAS ADVISED THAT I HAD AN INTER COOLER LEAK WHERE COOLANT WAS MIXING WITH MY TRANSMISSION FLUID AND THAT THE PROBLEM COULD NOT BE REPAIRED THAT I WOULD HAVE TO "JUNK" MY XTERRA. I WAS ASSURED HOWEVER THAT I DID NOT HAVE ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE NEW TRANSMISSION. NISSAN FLUSHED ALL MY FLUIDS AT A COST OF $254, TOLD ME TO DRIVE THE XTERRA AS MUCH AS I COULD FOR THE NEXT THREE WEEKS AND BRING IT BACK TO THEM AND THEN THEY WOULD CONFIRM IF THAT IN FACT WAS THE PROBLEM. I TALKED TO SEVERAL MECHANICS INCLUDING TWO NISSAN MECHANICS AND WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD NOT HAVE TO "JUNK" THE XTERRA THAT I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION AND NOT TO DRIVE THE TRUCK UNTIL IT WAS REPAIRED. I WAS ALSO ADVISED TO CONTACT NISSAN NORTH AMERICA. I CONTACTED NISSAN AND THEY TOLD ME AFTER THERE INVESTIGATION THAT I WAS TOO FAR OUT OF WARRANTY AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD OR WOULD DO TO ASSIST ME FINANCIALLY IN REPAIRING THE DAMAGE. I AM ALSO AWARE THAT NISSAN KNEW ABOUT THERE DEFECTIVE RADIATORS AND THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST THEM FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THE CAR DOESN'T SEEM TO BE ACCELERATING PROPERLY DUE TO SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE FUEL SYSTEM OR GASOLINE DELIVERY THERE IS A VIBRATING SOUND AND VIBRATION COMING FROM THE GAS PEDAL. AND THE GASOLINE SMELL IS TERRIBLE. THE GAS PEDAL IS VERY LOOSE AND I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY CAR AT THIS TIME. *TR
