2004 NISSAN XTERRA Complaints

VEHICLE HAS TIGHT STEERING. BARELY ABLE TO TURN WHEEL WHILE NOT MOVING. INDEPENDENT GARAGE CHECKED STEERING, FOUND CORROSION IN STEERING LINKAGE AND NOTIFIED ME OF RECALL. WHEN CONTACTED NISSAN DEALER CLAIMS THAT RECALL DOES NOT COVER THIS VEHICLE. CALLED NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE NUMBER WHO ALSO DENIED THE RECALL. VEHICLE IS WITHIN THE RECALL DATES AND WAS MANUFACTURED AT SMYRNA, TN PLANT. REPRESENTATIVE COULD NOT SAY WHY THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED. WANTED ME TO TAKE TO DEALER AND PAY TO HAVE REPAIRED. EITHER NISSAN IS NOT HONORING THE COMMITMENT TO THE RECALL OR THE RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE ALL OF THE EFFECTED VEHICLES. *TR

FLANGE AROUND THE FUEL SENDING UNIT IS CORRODED AND FUMES ARE ESCAPING FROM THE GAS TANK EVERY TIME I FUEL UP MY VEHICLE. MANY XTERRAS HAVE THIS ISSUE. I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE A RECALL. *TR

AFTER REPAIRING STEERING COLUMN PROBLEM (RECALL ID# 10V554000) LESS THAN ONE YEAR, THE GEAR BOX CRACKED AND POWER STEERING FLUID DRAINED CAUSING POWER STEERING LOST FUNCTION. I THINK GEAR BOX CRACKED PROBLEM IS RELATED TO THE STEERING COLUMN PROBLEM. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN DEALER AND REGIONAL OFFICE BUT THEY DENIED THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE PROBLEM. *TR

I CURRENTLY OWN A 2004 NISSAN XTERRA AND IT IS LEAKING WATER IN THE REAR. I HAD THE BACK GLASS AND ROOF RACK CHECKED OUT BY A PROFESSIONAL. TO THE PROFESSIONALS FINDING THE WINDOW AND ROOF RACK WERE NOT LEAKING BUT THE WELDED SEAM OF MY VEHICLE IS LEAKING ON THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE. THE SEAM WAS NEVER WELDED RIGHT AND OVER THE COURSE OF TIME IT HAS CAUSED A HAIR LINE CRACK ON THE ROOF. THE PROFESSIONAL LOOKED ON THE REAR DRIVER SIDE AND NOTICED THE WELDED SEAM IS STARTED TO GIVE AWAY TOO. DUE TO THE CRACK MY VEHICLE IS LEAKING WATER EVERYTIME IT RAINS OR SNOWS. MY BACK CARPET HAS BEEN REMOVED SO NO FURTHER DAMAGE CAN BE DONE TO THE BACK INTERIOR. *KB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN XTERRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THEY ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THERE WAS A FUEL LEAK AND THE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND THEY ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 158,000.

DEFECTIVE FUEL TANK , FUEL PUMP MOUNTING BRACKET LEAKS AT THE MOUNTING. FUEL VAPOR LEAKAGE AND FUEL LEAKAGE WHEN TANK IS FULL. *TR

2004 NISSAN XTERRA. CONSUMER STATES FUEL TANK IS RUSTED OUT AND THE SMELL OF GAS IS APPARENT *TGW

I SMELL GAS INSIDE THE CAR, I TOOK IT TO A SHOP AND THEY TOLD ME THE GAS TANK IS ALL RUSTED ON TOP, CAUSING THE GAS TO SPILL OUT. I CALLED JUNK YARDS AND ALL THERE TANKS FOR THE NISSAN ARE ALSO CORRODED. I CALLED NISSAN AND THEY SAID THERE WERE NO RECALLS. THEY SAID IT IS FROM LIVING IN A SALT AREA. HOWEVER NO OTHER MAKES OR MODELS THAT I HAVE HAD EVER DID THIS. I WAS TOLD TO TAKE IT TO A NISSAN DEALER FOR EVALUATION. WHICH I DID BUT FELT UNSAFE DRIVING THE CAR. I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL, PLEASE HELP. THANKS *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY 2004 NISSAN XTERRA THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE DETACHED FROM THE ROTOR AND MY VEHICLE SUNK DOWN AND CONTINUED TO SKID FOR APPROXIMATELY 200 FEET BEFORE COMING TO A STOP. THE DETACHED TIRE CAUSED DAMAGE TO AN ONCOMING VEHICLE. AFTER STOPPING I OBSERVED THAT TWO LUG NUTS HAD BEEN SHEARED OFF. THE VEHICLE'S TIRES HAD NOT HAD ANY SERVICE DONE TO THEM RECENTLY AND IT IS STILL A MYSTERY AS TO WHY THE WHEEL DETACHED. IT IS STILL UNKNOWN AS TO WHAT THE EXTENT OF THE DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE IS AND THERE IS NO WAY TO INSPECT THE DETACHED TIRE AS IT WENT INTO A MARSHLAND AND WAS LOST. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN XTERRA. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A TURN WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME EXTREMELY DIFFICULTY TO MANEUVER. RECENTLY, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO REPAIRED THE VEHICLE UNDER NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 0V554000 (STEERING:COLUMN). THE REMEDY FAILED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM AND THE FAILURE CONTINUED AFTER THE REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO PROVIDE FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 20,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.
