AS I WAS TURNING LEFT ONTO A HIGHWAY AND IN THE INTERSECTION, MY VEHICLE DIED. HAD TO BE PUSHED THROUGH THE INTERSECTION WHILE TRAFFIC WAS BEING HELD BACK IN 5 LANES. THE GAS TANK REGISTERED AN EIGHTH TANK OF GAS BUT IT WAS, IN FACT, OUT OF GAS. I HAD TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED AT A REPAIR SHOP BECAUSE I WAS NOT NEAR A DEALER. I NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE(CAMPAIGN ID# PC 042, NHTSA# 10V-075) BUT FOUND OUT LATER THERE WAS ONE ON CERTAIN VIN NUMBERS WITH MY MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLE. THE DEALER CLAIMS IT SHOULD BE COVERED BUT NISSAN SAYS THIS VIN # IS NOT COVERED. REGARDLESS, I HAD THE DESCRIBED PROBLEM WITH THE MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLE THAT HAS THIS PROBLEM AND I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. PERHAPS THEY NEED TO ADD MORE VIN #'S TO THEIR RECALL LIST AND GET ON THE SAME PAGE AS THEIR DEALERS. THIS WAS AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR FOR ME TO ABSORB. I WAS TO LEAVE ON A ROAD TRIP IN 2 DAYS. THANKFULLY IT HAPPENED BEFORE I WAS TRAVELING.

2008 NISSAN XTERRA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE FUEL GAUGE INACCURACY ISSUES. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED SHE RAN OUT OF GAS ON THE HIGHWAY, EVEN THOUGH THE TANK READ A QUARTER TANK REMAINING. *JB

VEHICLE FRONT BRAKES OVERHEAT. WHEN DRIVING DOWNHILL AT ANY RATE BRAKES WILL SOFTEN CONTINUOUSLY UNTIL HAVING TO PULL OVER FOR FEAR OF SAFETY. WHEN BRAKES WERE CHECKED BY DEALER THEY STATED THAT THEY WERE AT 75% AND SHOULD BE WORKING FINE. EVERY TIME I BRAKE GOING DOWN HILL I FEEL SOFTNESS IN BRAKES. BRAKES ALSO WILL START TO SMELL AFTER BRAKING DOWNHILL.

ENGINE OVER HEATED BECAUSE OF COOLANT LOST, WITH POSSIBLE TRANS DAMAGE, THE VEHICLE WS BEING DRIVEN WHEN THE HEATING PROBLEM OCCURED.

THE RADIATOR ON THE NISSAN XTERRA HAS A CRACK, FOUND COMMONLY I GUESS AND IT LEAKS INTO THE TRANSMISSION DESTROYING THE TRANSMISSION

AIRBAG LIGHT CONSTANTLY BLINKING AFTER TURN ON THE VEHICLE AND DOES NOT GO OFF. NOT SURE IF AIRBAGS INSTALLED ARE FROM TAKATA. AT LEAST, I REVIEW IF THERE IS ANY RECALL BASED ON VIN # AND THERE IS NO APPARENTLY RECALL IN THIS UNIT. VERY CONCERNED DUE TO THE FACT LAST YEARS A MAIN CABLE THAT CONNECT THE HORN AND OTHER RELATED COMPONENTS WAS INSTALLED.
