2001 NISSAN XTERRA Complaints

I AM HAVING TROUBLE WITH MY WINDOWS ALL 4 OF THEM DON'T WORK, IT ISN'T THE MOTOR, IT IS THE CABLE INSIDE...IT CRINKLES UP. 2 OF MY WINDOWS ARE STUCK DOWN. I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON HAVING THIS PROBLEM. I KNOW OF TWO OTHERS HAVING THE EXACT PROBLEM. ALL THREE OF US HAVE 2001 NISSAN XTERRA'S. THANKS, MATT WILLAND. *AK

EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS BREAK ON NISSANS VG33E ENGINE, CAUSING DANGERIOUS EXHAUST GAS TO LEAK IN ENGINE COMPARTMENT WHERE IT COULD BE SUCKED INTO IN CABIN AIR INTAKE AT FRONT OF WINDSHIELD I HAD 3 BROKE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE MANIFOLD. *AK

I BOUGHT MY 2001 NISSAN XTERRA NEW IN FEB. 2001. I'VE HAD 3 WINDOW REGULATORS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY ON MY DRIVER, PASSENGER AND REAR PASSENGER WINDOW. NOW LESS THAN 10K MILES LATER AND OUT OF WARRANTY, BOTH THE REAR DRIVER AND PASSENGER WINDOW REGULATORS HAVE QUIT WORKING. *JB

FUSE #11 WHICH PROTECTS THE ALTERNATOR/CHARGING CIRCUT AND 4WD/ATP WARNING LIGHT CIRCUTS KEPT BLOWING. WHEN THIS FUSE BLOWS THE ALTERNATOR STOPS WORKING AND THE VEHICLE THEN RUNS OFF THE BATTERY. AND WHEN THE BATTERY DIES 30 MINUTES LATER SO DOES YOUR XTERRA!*AK

STEERING WHEEL IS SEPARATING FROM THE STEERING COLUMN, CAUSING THE STEERING WHEEL TO HAVE TO MUCH PLAY IN IT. VEHICLE IS AT DEALERS SHOP AT THIS TIME FOR ANALYSIS. *AK

2 WINDOW REGULATORS ARE OUT AGAIN. SINCE BUYING THIS CAR WE HAVE HAD THEM REPLACED 8 TIMES. CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. FRIEND THAT BOUGHT SAME TYPE OF XTERRA AT THE SAME TIME HAS ALSO REPLACED THEM 5 TIMES. THIS ITEM IS OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED AND/OR REDESIGNED. NOW I EITHER CAN'T USE THE WINDOWS OR HAVE TO PAY HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS PER YEAR TO KEEP GETTING THEM REPLACED. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER NISSAN AS LONG AS I LIVE BECAUSE OF THIS. NEVER. JUST LOOK THROUGH THE LISTING HERE AND SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM. HOW NISSAN CAN ACT LIKE IT IS NORMAL IS AN ATROCITY. *AK

PASSENGER HEADLIGHT WILL NOT FUNCTION WHILE IN LOW BEAM. THE BULB HAS BEEN CHECKED AND IS STILL GOOD. THE LOW BEAM LIGHT WILL TURN ON WHEN THE COMPONENT IS PULLED OUT OF THE HEAD LAMP, BUT WILL NOT TURN ON WHEN INSTALLED PROPERLY. *LA

THE PASSENGER WINDSHIELD WASHER DOESN'T WORK. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND IT WORKED FOR ONLY A SHORT PERIOD. THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. IT IS VERY HARD TO DRIVE USING ONLY THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD. *LA

NISSAN, XTERRA, 2001. WITHIN 6 MONTHS OF PURCHASING THE VEHICLE I BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL. WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES AFTER A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME THE PEDAL WILL SINK APPROXIMATELY 1 - 2 INCHES. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE SEVERAL TIMES TO THE DEALER SINCE I PURCHASED IT. THE FIRST TIME THE DEALER TOLD THAT THEY REPLACE THE BOOSTER. THE PROBLEM STILL CONTINUES, AND I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY TELL ME THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKES. THE PROBLEM HAD NOT BEEN RESOLVED TO THIS DATE WHICH HAS BEEN THREE YEARS. *LA

THE FRONT AND REAR PASSENGER WINDOW REGULATORS DID NOT WORK. THE DEALER STATED, THERE WAS NO WARRANTY AND THEY WOULD NOT REPLACE THE PART. *PH *SCC *JB
