2000 NISSAN XTERRA Complaints

REQUEST FOR REFUND FOR REPLACEMENT OF THE FUEL SENDING UNIT ON THE 2000 NISSAN XTERRA.***NO ANSWER REQUIRED***. *MR AFTER THE REPAIRS WERE MADE THE CONSUMER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE. THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THAT HE COULD BE REIMBURSED FOR THE REPAIR. THE CONSUMER SENT SEVERAL COPIES OF THE INVOICE TO THE MANUFACTURER BUT TO DATE THE CONSUMER HAS NOT BEEN REIMBURSED. *NM

I HAVE ABOUT 70,000 MILES ON MY 2000 NISSAN XTERRA. I HAD TO REPLACE THE PASSENGER SIDE EXHAUST MANIFOLD AROUND 40K MILES DUE TO A CRACK. I AM NOW EXPERIENCING A CRACK OF THE DRIVER EXHAUST MANIFOLD. THIS PROBLEM HAS ME CONCERNED BECAUSE OF THE DEFECTS INVOLVED. I THINK THAT THE EXHAUST FUMES MAY ENTER THE PASSENGER AREA OF THE CAR THROUGH THE FIREWALL.

I DID NOT RECIEVE RECALL INFO ON ALLOY WHEEL AND FUEL SENDING UNIT FROM NISSAN FOR MY 2000 XTERRA. IN ADDITION I HAD MY NISSIAN SERVICED SEVERAL TIMES AT A DEALER AND WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE RECALL. ONLY WHEN I DID RESEARCH DID I FIND OUT THERE WAS A RECALL.

I WAS TRANSPORTING A MECHANIC TO A JOB SITE, WHEN THE MECHANIC NOTED A CRACKED EXHAUST MANIFOLD. AFTER TALKING WITH ANOTHER 2000 XTERRA OWNER, HE SITED THE SAME FAULT ON HIS VEHICLE. I DID RESEARCH AND FOUND THE FAULT IS WIDE SPREAD. I THEN TALKED WITH SEVERAL MECHANICS, AND THEY ALL AGREED THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD SHOULD NOT FAIL WITH THAT FREQUENCY AT THOSE MILES. AFTER FURTHER RESEARCH I FOUND THAT NISSIAN HAS PROBLEMS NOT JUST WITH THE XTERRA BUT ALSO EARLIER MODELS OF THE FRONTER. STATISTICAL AND MECHANICAL EVIDENCE SUGGETS A DEFECT IN THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD.

CONSUMER STATED VEHICLE WILL NOT GO INTO FIRST GEAR. ABOUT ONE MONTH AGO WHEN CONSUMER WOULD PUT VEHICLE INTO FIRST GEAR IT MADE A LOT OF NOISE. THEN, IT WOULD GO INTO GEAR, BUT IT WOULD SLIP OUT AGAIN. ABOUT A WEEK LATER, SHE HAD TO HOLD IT IN GEAR. CURRENTLY, THE VEHICLE WILL NOT GO INTO FIRST GEAR. CONSUMER WILL BE TAKING THIS VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, BUT FELT THIS VEHICLE WAS TOO NEW FOR TRANSMISSION TO MALFUNCTION. *AK AFTER THE TESTING THE CONSUMER WAS TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSION AND THE CLUTCH WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. *TC

CONTINUING POOR CLUTCH OPERATION. PEDAL OFTEN BINDS; HAD TO RELEASE PEDAL FULLY TO GET CRUISE CONTROL TO OPERATE; PEDAL IS NEARLY TO THE FLOOR AT FIRST START ON COLD MORNING. JUST SPENT $1200 TO REPAIR CLUTCH. DEALER CLAIMS BINDING CLUTCH IS NO PROBLEM. I HAVE SPOKEN TO OTHER 2000 XTERRA OWNERS THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM EARLIER IN THEIR OWNERSHIP AND HAD THE PEDAL REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY...MY THOUGHT IS THE BINDING CLUTCH IS CAUSING OTHER PROBLEMS...*JB

TRUCK WAS FOUND TO HAVE CRACKED EXHAUST MANIFOLD, I NOTICE OTHER ONES HAVE BEEN REPORTED, ALSO TRUCK RUNS VERY ROUGH AT IDLE ALMOST STALLING OUT, I HAVE SPENT A LOT ON THIS PROBLEM, NISSAN CAN NOT SOLVE PROBLEM, THEY REPLACE MANIFOLD BUT TRUCK STILL RUNS ROUGH AFTER A WEEK OF THEM FIXING IT. *JB
