| 2004 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING | EVER SINCE I HAD MY 2004 X-TERRA I HAVE TOLD THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT ABOUT LOUD ENGINE NOISE. SOUNDS LIKE A LIFTER OR VALVE ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ENGINE. EACH TIME THEY TELL ME ITS NORMAL. I T HAS GOTTEN LOUDER AND YET THEY SAY THEY ALL MAKE THE SOUND....THE ENGINE IS LAKE A WASHING MACHINE ITS SO BAD AND LOUD.... *TR |
| 2003 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON IN 09. VEHICLE FAILED EMISSIONS DUE TO PROBLEM WITH EVAC SYSTEM. GASKET AT FUEL TANK WAS REPLACED. WITHIN A YEAR, ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. THERE WAS ANOTHER PROBLEM WITH THE EVAC SYSTEM. AFTER $ 862.00 DOLLARS THAT WERE SPENT ON VEHICLE FOR O RING AND GASKET REPAIRS, VEHICLE PASSED EMISSIONS. WITHIN 8 MONTHS, ENGINE LIGHT WAS BACK ON DUE TO EVAC SYSTEM. MECHANIC STATES THAT THERE IS MAJOR CORROSION OF THE FUEL TANK AND THAT HE HAS SEEN THE SAME THING ON MANY NISSAN VEHICLES OF THIS AGE DUE TO THE MATERIAL USED TO CONSTRUCT THE FUEL TANK AND BELIEVES THAT IT IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED AND THAT NISSAN STARTED USING A DIFFERENT MATERIAL ONCE THE PROBLEM WAS KNOWN. THE ENTIRE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE SMELLS OF GASOLINE AND MECHANIC STATES THAT ANYONE IN CLOSE PROXIMITY OF VEHICLE COULD CAUSE AN EXPLOSION IF A SPARK WAS CREATED. *TR |
