Transmission Not Go Into Gear problems of the 2006 Nissan Xterra

Car would not switch gears. It staid in 1st or 2nd and rpm went to red as I pulled away from my parking spot. Transmission failure at 105,000 miles. Cost of repairs: $4,000. 00. After research on line, found out Nissan never recalled the vehicle but offered extended CO-payment warranty up to 100,000 miles to avoid fixing problem as the failure usually occurs at around 100,000 miles and above. Mine was at 105k. These cars needed to be recalled and now I'm paying $4,000. 00 to fix a known defect that Nissan got away with not taking full responsibility to repair.

I was driving down the street and my truck rpm started to go up to 4000 rpm. I pulled over because I thought that a belt had broken. After checking all the belt were good but the truck would not go in gear so I knew it was the transmission. After researching the issue on the Nissan site it was confirmed that this was a know issue with most Nissan vehicles. It caused me $3000 to get my truck fixed being that this is my only means of transportation. I don't understand how Nissan has not recalled vehicles because of this issue. I could have been involved in a major accident if I had taken my normal route and went on the interstate. With the way the truck just stopped it would have called a major accident.

I had just exited the interstate and was stopped at a traffic light. My transmission had been making a noise but I did not know why. When I attempted to pull away from the light my transmission would not engage into gear. My vehicle had to be towed to the repair shop where it was determined fluid from my radiator which had cracked the previous month had moved through the coolant lines into my transmission and causes its failure. If this had happened while still on the interstate I would have been at high risk for a fatal wreck to have occured.

Bought 2006 Nissan Xterra used on August 1st, 2013, had problem the evening after I bought it. Transmission was not changing gears properly and was causing high rpm's. Took it to Nissan dealer and they said the transmission and radiator would need to be replaced due to anti-freeze mixing with transmission fluid cause by broken cooler tube.

Xterra began to feel sluggish and would not change gears appropriately (it is an automatic), after driving a couple of miles. Returned home to check fluids and found that the transmission fluid did not look 'right'. Car was towed to a local Nissan dealer/service department and was told that there was cross contamination of radiator fluid with automatic transmission fluid and the cause was that the radiator had failed. Correction required is that the radiator and automatic transmission assembly has to be replaced at a total cost of $8438. 43. I was told that Nissan would cover 70% of the cost of the repair, however required that I pay $3000 dollars up front before they would even order the parts. Once I gave them the $3000 by credit card because a check was accepted, I was told it will take three weeks for the parts to arrive and then another two days for the installation. In addition, my extended warranty will not cover the repairs because the radiator is not a covered part according to the warranty. The fine print states that if a non-covered part causes a covered part to be damaged then they do not cover the covered part.
