general problems of the 2006 Nissan Xterra

My transmission and drive shaft went out of my vehicle today out of nowhere. I have a new job to get to and no money to fix or replace this vehicle. It's ridiculous considering it only has 136,000 miles on it. I was 2 miles from my house and driving approximately 20mph and it just stopped accelerating. I was stuck on the side of the road in 5 degree weather. I am beyond dismayed and completely without options.

The contact owns a 2006 Nissan Xterra. While driving, the vehicle swayed from lane to lane. The vehicle drifted without turning the steering wheel. Ken garff Nissan salt lake (777 s w temple, salt lake city, ut 84101, (801) 933-1890) and the manufacturer stated that there were no recalls on file. The contact filed a case with the manufacturer and received a case number. A case manager was scheduled to call the contact back. The failure mileage was 97,000.

When the vehicle is traveling 45-50 mph, there is an occasional and sometimes violent shake in the drivetrain. . . Like driving over rumble bars. Also some loss of power while accelerating and hard shifting. This is from transmission failure due to cross contamination between the radiator and the transmission.

When the fuel gauge gets close to 1/4 tank it will drop down to empty and the check engine light comes on.

While traveling at a speed of 60, the vehicle began to shake. After new tires, rotation of the tires, new u-joints, it still shakes very bad. Now I am told it is the "drive shaft" that is "warped" which is going to cost another $800. The garage has removed the drive shaft and now it does not shake. But I will need to replace in order for the 4 wheel drive to work. The vehicle has 72,000 miles.

I purchased my car(xterra 2006 off road VIN 5n1an08w66c508944) from darcars of indianola inc. , on November 9, 2005. On the same day (the car had only 10 miles) I noticed the steering had a problem. When I driven over 60 mph is hard to control the car(wiggles). I took the car to different Nissan dealer for repairs but the car still the same the car has over 13. 000 miles now.
