The step boards of the 2000 nissan xterra are corroding. i have been the only owner of the vehicle and there has been no damage or unusual usage of the step boards that would have casued the corrosion. otherwise, the vehicle, both mechnaically and body, is in excellent shape. *ak i have taken the vehicle to two body shops and both agree the step boards need to be replaced and cannot be repaired. estimates for new step boards and installation range from $500 to $670. the service manager at my local nissan dealer indicates the step boards are supposed to be very durable and should not have corroded. however, he was unable to get any financial assistance from nissan to replace the step boards. my direct request to nissan was also turned down. since i had to enter a date in the form below, i entered the date nissan telephoned me and said they would not be assisting me in my effort to replace the step boards. my file number was 567.8334. there have been no accidents or deaths due to the defect. however, this is clearly a defective factory installed part on the vehicle.
3 time problem with the high pressure line in my 2000 nissan xterra. got a copy of the nissan 5 year repair history for the vehicle, and found out that at 22,3?? the line had to be replaced. it has now failed a third time and because it is out of warranty nissan said they will not fix it for me. clearly this is a faulty part to begin with and i should not have to be charged for its third failure. *nm
Yesterday my 2000 nissian was broken into and the stereo face was stolen. the passenger door was pried open. the alarm system never went off. what i am upset about it that my car is out of warranty and the dealership and nissian corp. stated that it would cost me approx. $85.00 to have it checked. i know that the alarm works because i set it myself reached through the window and tried to unlock the door and the alarm went off. i told nissian about it thinking that they might want to check it out because evidently theives have found out how to unlock these without setting off the alarm. they weren't concerned and stated that they would document it. basically they didn't believe what i told them had happened. so if you own a nissian don't expect your alarm to go off if someone pries open the door.*ak
