Transfer Case Problems of Nissan Xterra

After noting a repeated noise that sounded like driving over rumble strips, we discovered from our mechanic that we were facing a $6,400 repair for a issue that was well known and documented but only covered by Nissan up to 80,000 miles, which our car has exceeded. The entire transmission, radiator, transfer case and other parts are destroyed by a leak of the radiator into the transmission. We were never alerted to this major defect and now have no recourse back to Nissan to cover the repair. What a tremendous lack of accountability and disregard for potential safety of drivers by Nissan.

The failure would also occur when driving in wet or inclement weather with the four wheel drive activated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 75,000.

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.

Differentials front and rear are under engineered and break extremely easily. Transfer case also wouldn't shift into 4 wheel drive.
