Transmission Not Go Into Gear Problems of Nissan Xterra

Tl the contact owns a 2005 Nissan Xterra. While driving approximately 50 mph, the vehicle shook violently and did not shift gears. In addition, the check engine indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who performed a bypass and flushed the transmission. The vehicle was then taken to another independent mechanic who specialized in transmission service. The transmission was flushed and the filter was changed. The technician also located failure codes 1754 and 1759. The contact called rosen Nissan of madison (located at 2510 w beltline hwy, madison, WI 53713) and was informed that the mechanic who performed the bypass wrecked the vehicle. The contact was informed that nothing could be done. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and provided a case number. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 95,000.

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.

Bought my x-terra brand new and was told is has a bumper to bumper 36,000 mile warranty, at 22,000 the car would not shift into gear. Had it towed to a Nissan dealership that is saying the clutch is bad from normal wear and tear and not covered under the warranty. We've read a lot of other reviews of this happening to other people as well and want to report it. Both drivers in our household are experienced clutch driver with a combined 20+ year experience. I called Nissan customer service to further investigate and they called the dealership and just "took their word for it" nothing was really investigated at all. Poor customer service on both ends. I called the dealership we bought it from that is 4+ hours away from our current home and they said they would've taken car of it and fixed it under the warranty. We can't have it towed 4+ hours away after being taken apart. Bottom line Nissan has something going on with their clutches, and is blaming it on the consumers and not abiding to their warranty.

Radiator crack and mix radiator fluid w transition fluid ,transition problems, not change gears when I driving . Serious safety problem when I'm slow dawn on intersection I can't go forward and I stuck on the center of intersection. Possible crush accident.

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.

Tl-the contact owns a 2005 Nissan Xterra. The contact stated that while driving approximately 45 mph, the vehicle failed to shift gears as the service engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the radiator, transmission and coolant heater hose needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacture was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 105,334. Djr.

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.

I had an issue approximately 6 months ago regarding my radiator. The coolant and transmission fluids were mixing due to a defective (known) issue. My transmission has now failed due to a rusted valve body in the transmission. In fact it completely failed as I was driving. After puling into a parking lot, it would not go into gear, any gear. These issues are obviously directly linked but I am now left holding the bag due to the fact that Nissan's extension of the warranty covers only vehicles with up to 100k miles. I am now nearing 115k miles.

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.

I recently had to replace my radiator and transmission due to the known 2005 Nissan Xterra radiator problem. The problem started off as heavy vibration when gears shifted, and the heater was noticeably not as warm as it had been. After a short amount of time with the vibration issues, the transmission got to a point where the vibrations would last longer, meaning the vehicle was not shifting gears reasonably. This became a serious safety issue when I was merging onto the interstate one day and my overdrive completely missed, leaving me in basically neutral at approx 50mph with no ability to accelerate with a car almost slamming into the rear of me since it could not move out of the lane to avoid me. For this not to be considered a safety issue is very ridiculous. A failing transmission is most certainly a safety issue when it fails while you are driving. Nissan may have agreed to have this repaired for free for vehicles under 80000 miles, but the likelihood of this problem occurring is past 80000 miles. Nissan should not only be responsible for the cost of this repair, but Nissan should also be responsible for letting owners know of the symptoms, problems, and associated safety concerns with a failing transmission. As far as I am concerned, Nissan has failed in every aspect of dealing with such a costly issue.

I was driving on the interstate at 45 mph and all of a sudden my car started slowing down. When I pulled over the car would not go into gear. I had to have the car towed to my house and it hasn't started since.

While driving down a steep hill, I turned off the overdrive and the dashboard display showed the vehicle had shifted into 4th gear but in fact is was still in od (5th) gear. Upon activating the button to shift back to od, the vehicle now shifted down into 3rd gear but displayed that it was in od (5th) gear. I live in the san bernardino mountains of southern California and I need to downshift to slow the vehicle when going downhill and to avoid overheating the brakes with a possibility of brake failure. I have visited two different Nissan dealers on a total of four occasions to resolve the problem and they tell me that is the way the vehicle functions and there is nothing that can be done to fix it. Although I thought I was buying a vehicle with five gears, in fact when going down hill it does not have a 4th gear. Updated 02/14/11.
