Noticed shuddering at first, then a stumbling upon hitting gas 120000 miles took truck in and had ext. Cooler put on, flushed out tranny fluid, new radiator, new gaskets and filters in tranny $1,100. 00 job. 1 month later service engine soon light came on and truck wouldn't start. Tcm module in tranny started blowing fuse, truck smelled like it was burning up and wouldn't allow truck to start. 2,000. 00 to replace module and secondary breach. Its not just in radiator, there is another breach problem that puts the transmission and coolant together. 2nd breach. Shop wont guarantee 2000. 00 job, new transmission 5800. 00. My beautiful truck left on a flatbed to salvage yard. Single mom of 4. Thanks Nissan, you suck. Also issues with airbag coil. 600. 00 for that. Nissan I love my Xterra and its so sad we had to part ways today, I watched my 18000. 00 vehicle leave with no justice but tears and hoping the zero degree weather breaks, walking the kids to school, one with disabilities is just rotten. Nissan get a conscience. Because my Xterra sat on a dealerships used lot, no one was notified of class action and warranty issued. I got doubled f**cked.
Air bags in my SUV didn't deploy when I got in accident driving @45mph front in wreck twice and neither time it came out.
I believe that my airbag deployed on it's own for no apparent reason resulting in knocking me unconscious thereby causing an accident.
