Cannot believe Nissan would treat loyal customers this way. Radiator reimbursed by Nissan but wouldn't pay for transmission despite clear documentation that it was due to a recall. You can read their stories over at CarComplaints. I'm nervous that something isn't right, but cannot figure out what could be wrong, if anything. It keep doing this anywhere between 200 and 500 rpms in neutral at idle. Never again will we purchase a Nissan!!! In July car wouldn't drive at all and jerked when it finally did move.
I have upgraded the headlights to replace the old faded ones, redid the brake system to high heat for better braking. My boyfriend replaced the radiator for me and all was cured. They replaced the radiator and cleaned up the system. A claim with Nissan corp. He said that in a worst-case scenario, the vehicle's transmission could seize causing an immediate stop and loss of control. Nissan screwed this up big time, and their customer service is poor. I have also had dealers switch new parts off my car and replace with a part from some old car.
Nissan stated that the radiator leaked into the transmission and they would warrenty it if it was under 80,000 miles. Go Toyota No 1, those Toyota run for ever. Well not so the case. I hate to separate it again unless I have to, because it was so tough to get into position the first time. My shop replaced the tensioner with a new device that Nissan made available but Nissan isn't very upfront about why this is needed and replaced the rotted-out splash guard.
Xterra was fine until recently. The other three non-leaking transmission fluid cylinders were inspected under the microscope and five of the six transmission fluid port areas were cracked. Browse our online catalog and. The first sign of this failure is a slight vibration at 40-50 mph when the vehicle shifts from 4th to overdrive 5th gear. Sometimes it would downshift into 4th and when starting from a stop it would sometimes hesitate as I started to move and then run normal but sometimes it would shift through the first two gears at 4000 rpm even though I was driving slow in traffic. It had one other owner. Sadly it turned into a nightmare.
I wish I had never bought this money pit of a lemon. Nevada dryer, cold weather seems to trigger the knock sensor and that triggers misfire, and this makes the car shake. My Xterra has also locked on me many times to the point I do not get out of my vehicle without my keys in hand. I do not want to spend a fortune on fixing this issue if they do not know what to look for. Didn't get a chance to check much today when I got home but I did go out and listen to the engine to see if I could hear a vacuum leak about 2 hours after getting home. I previously owned a 2006 Xterra, 6 speed manual trans.
I assembled it the correct way with the torque converter on the transmission and buttoned it back up. For one, the fluid tends to burn very easily in the 2015 automatic transmission. I looked online and I read regarding the Milkshake of Death! At this point the damage, apparently, has been done. You may also want to seafoam your X, it will definitely help to get your idle to normal and you will feel your X smoother than before, at least that happened with my X. I also love the stereo system. Nissan hid it from customers and for that reason I will never buy another Nissan and I will discourage every person I know to stay away from Nissan products.
When I asked the dealership service associates why this would be happening, they could not speculate what might be the reason. Why when it is repaired does the new radiator have a different hose connection?? Nissan recommended a trany flush like the thousands of complaints I have read. This vehicle has been hands down the most reliable 4x4 I have owned. I am truly disappointed with how Nissan treats their customers and will never purchase a Nissan vehicle again!. The timing belt and clutch have been replaced, but that is to be expected.
Really mad after reading how many others have had this problem and the fact that there was a class action suit in 2012. It has had me completely stumped and now I have this problem. But, rain is still getting in through the hood and making the belt wet enough to slip off when I start the car, on occasion.

When this motor dues go out, I will have it rebuilt. The shop identified the oily coolant and knew the transmission fluid mixing had started. It had the fluid changed about 25,000 miles ago and the fluid looks good.
After replacing that item, a slight knocking could be heard. Or could the splined shaft somehow have been pushed back into the transmission and not be engaged? If you can find a good used, buy it. Fuel gauge not working, leaky radiator which ruined my transmission, catalytic converters gone bad, timing shoes or chain repairs, driver window issues, and more. I wonder if the Seafoam was a mistake. A little cooler the next day light comes on and flashes. Even with the warranty it only covers 800 dollars…and the other 3-4 thousand is on you. Test drove good but I lectured him that if it lasts 2 years he will have gotten his money worth.
