2004 NISSAN XTERRA Complaints

PROBLEMS WITH INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. TACHOMETER, SPEEDOMETER, AND 4-WHEEL DRIVE LIGHT DO NOT FUNCTION PROPERTLY. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN FOR REPAIR 5 TIMES TO REPLACE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND ECM. THE VEHICLE STILL DOES NOT OPERATE PROPERLY. *NM

WHILE DRIVING THERE WAS AN ENGINE FIRE. CONSUMER INDICATED THAT A FAULTY FUEL CLAMP WAS USED WHICH DISENGAGED, CAUSING FUEL TO SPILL. THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED. CONTACTED THE DEALER. *AK

FOUR WHEEL DRIVE, WHEN I PUT THE LEVER INTO FOUR WHEEL DRIVE IT TAKE FOREVER FOR IT TO COME BACK OUT (THE SHIFTER MOVES BUT THE LIGHT STAYS ON) THEIR ARE TIMES THE 4X4 LIGHT IS DIMLY LIGHT? AND OTHER TIMES IT COMES ON FOR NO REASON, SERVICED TWICE WAS TOLD THEY REPLACED A SWITCH ON THE UNIT. PROBLEM STILL EXISITS.*AK

CRUISE CONTROL: WHEN ACTUATING THE ACCELERATE BUTTON THE VEHICLE SURGES EXCESSIVELY AS IF ONE WAS PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR CAUSING A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. THIS IS A CONSISTANT PROBLEM THAT APPEARS TO HAVE NO RESOLUTION WITH THE DELER OR MANUFACTURER.*AK

THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFT IS VERY WOBBLY, AND THERE IS A SQUEAKY SOUND COMING FROM THE FLOOR ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. IT WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER ON SIX OCCASIONS, BUT NOTHING WAS RESOLVED. *AK

THE FUSES WERE BURNING. WHEN REMOVING THE FUSE ONE COULD SEE SPARKS. DEALER REPLACED THE FUSES, AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. *AK

THE SIDE MIRRORS OF MY 2004 NISSAN X-TERRA SHOW MARKEDLY DISTORTION OF IMAGES. THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE CONVECTION OF THE RIGHT MIRROR. IT IS MOST PROBABLY RELATED TO FAULTY GLASS MANUFACTURING. SPECIALLY THE LEFT MIRROR IS NOT OPTICALLY FLAT. *JB

ALB LIGHT CAME ON SEVERAL TIMES THEN STAYED ON . DEALER HAD TO REPLACE ITEM THAT MAKES ANTI BRAKES WORK. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN VEHICLE. NOW WHEN I STOP SUDDENLY MY BRAKES LOCK AND I LEAVE TIRE MARKS. ALSO WHEN STOPPED AT LIGHT PEDAL WILL HOLD FOR A COUPLE OF SECONDS THEN GOES TO FLOOR. I NEED A VEHICLE I CAN TRUST BOTH ME AND MY HUSBAND ARE DISABLED VETERANS. ALSO I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE SUGGESTION: THE DRIVERS SEAT AFTER A PERSON ADJUSTS IT. THE LEVER ON SEAT RUBS ON CENTER CONSOLE WILL WEAR HOLE IN CONSUL. I BELIEVE THIS MAY BE A EASY FIX. JUST DOUBLE CHECK THAT NO MATTER WERE SEAT IS POSITIONED OR SIZE OF PERSON IT SHOULD NOT RUB CENTER CONSOLE.*AK

CRUISE CONTROL ERRATIC BEHAVIOR, STALLING, EXCESSIVE FUEL CONSUMPTION UNDER STAGGERED AMOUNTS, SLUGGISHNESS. *JB

VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN DRIVEWAY. THERE WAS A SLIGHT GRADE THAT WENT TO THE STREET. CONSUMER OPENED THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR, PUT LEFT FOOT ON THE CLUTCH, TURNED THE KEY, AND VEHICLE ROLLED BACKWARD. CONSUMER EXPECTED THE VEHICLE TO JILT FORWARD AND STALL WHEN FOOT WAS REMOVED FROM THE CLUTCH , BUT INSTEAD, IT JILTED, THEN SURGED FORWARD AT 25 MPH UP THE DRIVEWAY, DRAGGING THE CONSUMER. CONSUMER'S HANDS WERE STILL ON THE STEERING WHEEL. THE GAS PEDAL WAS NEVER DEPRESSED. VEHICLE WAS IN FIRST GEAR. VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE HOUSE , BUT THE REAR WHEEL CONTINUED TO TURN. TWO INSURANCE ADJUSTERS CAME OUT AND INSPECTED THE DAMAGE. DEALERSHIP INDICATED THAT AFTER THE FRONTAL REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED, THEN THEY WILL INSPECT VEHICLE ATTEMPTING TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE TO DETERMINE WHAT CAUSED THE ACCELERATION, AND THEN CORRECT THE PROBLEM.*AK
