1 Brake Electric Antilock problem of the 2006 Nissan Xterra

Failure Date: 03/14/2007

Failure of 4 wheel drive power train due to failure of abs sensor. This a dedicated off road vehicle with off road package installed by factory. The abs system should not trump the 4 wheel drive and cause it to not engage. If I was far off road and 4 wheel drive system failed, I could be subject to serious injury or possibly death due to adverse weather conditions as I would have to walk and get help in prevailing weather conditions.

2 Brake Electric Antilock problem of the 2002 Nissan Xterra

Failure Date: 11/28/2004

I owned a Nissan Xterra(02)4wd-I drove it to the lassen nat'l volcanic park in red bluff,CA,I was about 300 ft from highway 36 going to the park. It was kind of chilly and the road have some snow on it. I was going slow about 13 to 15 miles, because I'm not familiar with the road, I was thinking I'll put on four wheel drive,but I have to stop the car and transfer it to 4wd-when I started sliding towards the mountainside,so stepped on the brakes(abs) but I kept on sliding, I did not steer it to the opposite direction,I just went where the was going which is to the right,the vehicle did not stop. It hit the the mountain side trees and snow then it rolled over. My son and me were shaken and I smelled the gas so I turn the engine, it still running. We got out of the car and I can't believe that we survived the crash- we were wearing our seat belts, we got some bruise an d bumps in our head,but a week later I still feel aches and pains-my complaints are that why did our abs did not work and the airbas did not deploy? lucky enough that we were not on the side of the of the deep canyon when it happened. I always maintained that car.

3 Brake Electric Antilock problem of the 2004 Nissan Xterra

Failure Date: 08/06/2004

Alb light came on several times then stayed on . Dealer had to replace item that makes anti brakes work. I do not feel safe in vehicle. Now when I stop suddenly my brakes lock and I leave tire marks. Also when stopped at light pedal will hold for a couple of seconds then goes to floor. I need a vehicle I can trust both me and my husband are disabled veterans. Also I would like to make suggestion: the drivers seat after a person adjusts it. The lever on seat rubs on center console will wear hole in consul. I believe this may be a easy fix. Just double check that no matter were seat is positioned or size of person it should not rub center console.

4 Brake Electric Antilock problem of the 2002 Nissan Xterra

Failure Date: 08/21/2002

The SUV deviates to the right at any speed with in a few seconds. It is extremely notiaceable at speeds above 40 mph. Constant pressure must be held on the steering wheel to the left. The SUV also deviated to the left when the brakes are applied hard, such as for sudden halting. The SUV would end on the shoulder if the brakes were applied hard. The SUV has been at the Nissan repair shop four times. There was some adjustments the last two times. Now the SUV still deviates to the right (like tring to run off the road) at cruising speeds. There has been a change with the behavior with sudden braking. The SUV now ends on the left lane or incomming lane when the brakes are applied suddenly. The above problems were not noted during the first two weeks of driving, but since them it seems to be getting worse. The dealer has not been able to fix the problem. I do worry about the behavior of the truck on the road under rain, snow, or ice conditions. I find it difficult to predict what the truck will do under an emergency. Are you interested in looking at this problem?.

5 Brake Electric Antilock problem of the 2000 Nissan Xterra

Failure Date: 09/09/2001

Since having my vehicle I have had several problems. Some minor however having a new vehicle I did not expect to have this many problems. I have had a continuous wind noise from my sun roof that has been taken in 3 times to be repaired. I also had to have my rear windshield wiper repaired. Approximately 1 month ago I had to have my brakes replaced and was just informed today (10/10/01) that my fuel pump has gone bad. Several monthes ago I had a "knocking" noise under my hood and as of today I have another "knocking" noise. I just do not feel that my truck should have this many problems with it being so new! my truck stopped 3 times as I was on the highway driving. I had cars in front as well as behind me, it was a very scary and dangerous situation to be in. I hope my complaints do not go unheard as I feel they have at my car dealership. Thank you!.
