2010 NISSAN XTERRA Complaints

MY SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND HAD THE SYSTEM DIAGNOSED. IT WAS A BAD FUEL SENDING UNIT. I ONLY HAD 37200 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. I CONTACTED NISSAN AND SURROUNDING DEALERSHIPS AND GOT THE "IT'S OUT OF WARRANTY" SPEECH. THE SHOP THAT PERFORMED THE WORK MENTIONED THEY HAVE HAD A LOT OF NISSANS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I STILL HAVE THE RECEIPT AND IF THERE IS A RECALL ISSUED, I WOULD LIKE TO GET MY MONEY BACK. *TR

I AM WRITING TO REPORT REPEATED PROBLEMS WITH MY VEHICLE, AN XTERRA 2010. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT RISK OF CRASH AND DAMAGE TO THE TRANSMISSION. THE PROBLEMS INCLUDE - SLOW ACCELERATION ON SURFACE STREETS AFTER LIGHT CHANGES ? THIS HAPPENS FREQUENTLY. - SLOW ACCELERATION WHEN ENTERING THE EXPRESSWAY, CAR SHIFTS GEARS SLOWLY ? THIS HAPPENS FREQUENTLY, - CAR FILLS WITH KEROSENE OR EXHAUST SMELL FOR A SHORT TIME, EVEN WHEN THERE ARE NO OTHER CARS AROUND ? THIS OCCURS OCCASIONALLY, - CAR REVVED UP FOLLOWED BY A SWEET SMELL (LIKE COOLANT/ANTIFREEZE) WHEN STANDING AT STOP LIGHTS ? THIS OCCURS OCCASIONALLY, AND - SIGNIFICANT VIBRATION. I HAVE REPORTED THE PROBLEMS WHEN CAR IS SERVICED. IMMEDIATELY AFTER PURCHASE AND FOR MORE THAN A YEAR I WAS TOLD THE ACCELERATION AND SHIFTING ISSUES WOULD SUBSIDE AFTER THE ENGINE ADJUSTED. DURING THE LAST SERVICE, THE VIBRATION ISSUE WAS ADDRESSED BUT THE OTHER ISSUES CONTINUE. I RECEIVED NOTICE OF A CLASS ACTION SUIT REGARDING XTERRA TRANSMISSION AND OTHER ISSUES. WHILE LOOKING INTO THE SUIT I DISCOVERED PROBLEMS WITH THE XTERRA ARE WIDESPREAD. I NEED YOUR ASSISTANCE TO CORRECT PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR ? PLEASE ADVISE OPTIONS AVAILABLE TO CORRECT ISSUES BEFORE THEY GET WORSE. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR ADVISE ON HOW TO PROCEED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 NISSAN XTERRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 3 MPH, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO MAKE A LOUD NOISE AND JERK VIOLENTLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER INSPECTING THE VEHICLE HE NOTICED THAT THE BOLTS THAT HELD THE DRIVE SHAFT IN PLACE WERE DETACHED AND CAUSING THE DRIVE SHAFT TO BECOME LOOSE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO VERIFIED THE FAILURE AND REPLACED THE BOLTS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE WHO DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,160 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 25,360. UPDATED 04/23/12

I HAVE A 2010 NISSAN XTERRA I BOUGHT IN AUG 2010. I AM CONSTANTLY HAVING TO BRING IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS WITH SAME 3-4 ISSUES. IT NOW HAS APPRX 8000 MILES AND NEEDS A NEW SET OF TIRES WHICH NISSAN IS REFUSING TO CHANGE. THE GAS GAUGE IS CONSTANTLY NOT WORKING, DOES NOT READ PROPERLY, I FINALLY HAD TO PROVE IT TO THEM THIS PAST WEEK AFTER COMPLAINING NUMEROUS TIME AND HAVING THEM, REPLACE THE GAS SENSOR ONE . THE ENGINE HESITATES AT APPRX 40 MILES AN HOUR, ONE OF THESE DAYS I AM AFRAID I WILL BE HIT FROM BEHIND WHEN I STEP ON THE GAS AND IT DOES NOT GO. I AM DEALING WITH CORPORATE NISSAN BUT THE KEEP PUTTING ME OFF. I FEEL IT HAS BECOME A DANGER. THE DEALER SAYS ITS UP TO NISSAN, NISSAN SAYS ITS NOT THEM SO I AM STUCK WITH BAD TIRES ON MY NEW VEHICLE, THEY ARE GENERAL TIRES. THEY HAVE INDENTED DIMPLES, SIDE WALLS ARE WEARING OUT AND TREAD IS WEARING UNEVEN. THE FIRST SET WAS REPLACED AROUND 3000-4000 MILES. THE ENGINE HESITATION AND THE GAS SENSOR I AM CONSTANTLY GETTING EXCUSES FOR THOSE ISSUES. SO FAR THE TIRES HAVE BEEN REPLACED ONCE AND NEED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN I WAS TOLD NO, GAS SENSOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AGAIN THAT IS TO BE DONE POSSIBLY IN THE FUTURE. WHAT ABOUT MY ENGINE ISSUE. I FEEL LIKE I HAVE A POSSIBLE LEMON? MY TRUCK IS IN THE SHOP SO MUCH THE DEALERSHIP HAS A KEY TO IT. HOW DO I FIND OUT IF THOSE TIRES ARE SAFE TO DRIVE ON THEM? I CAN NOT HAVE MY LIFE AND THE PEOPLE WHO DRIVE WITH ME IN DANGER. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE SENSOR FOR THE GAS GAGE- THAT WAS REPLACED I STILL HAVE ISSUES. OBVIOUS THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE IF THEY REPLACED THE TIRES ONCE AND NOW 4000 MILES LATER THE NEW TIRES ARE BAD AGAIN. THE DEALERSHIP SAID I MIGHT WANT TO ROTATE THE TIRES EVERY 3000 MILES. ALL 4 TIRES HAD TO BE REPLACED AND ALL 4 TIRES ARE GOING BAD AGAIN. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 NISSAN XTERRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH PULLING A SMALL TRAILER HE LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND CRASHED INTO THE GUARD RAIL CAUSING THE TRAILER TO ROLL OVER. THE CONTACT SUFFERED INJURIES TO THE BACK AND PSYCHOLOGICAL DAMAGE AS WELL. THE VEHICLE STARTED SHAKING BEFORE HE LOST CONTROL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ALIGNMENT WAS ABNORMAL WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED BUT HE WAS UNAWARE OF THE BAD WHEEL ALIGNMENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS AT FAULT AND SHOULD NOT HAVE SOLD THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200.

MY 2005 XTERRA IS HAVING SAME PROBLEM AS THE RECALLED 2006 XTERRA WITH THE FUEL GAUGE AND RUNNING OUT OF GAS...BUT THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO GET MINE FIXED COSTING NEARLY $500.00....THE 2005 XTERRAS SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL AS MANY ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THE FUEL GAUGE... *TR
