Problems with 2005 Nissan Xterra POWER TRAIN

On 3/14 i went to work as i work where i live when to drive the truck and it would not accelerate. was like being in 4th gear even though i was in first gear. i then noticed the check engine light came on. i borrowed a code reader and got the code p1769 called the mechanic and they came and towed to shop. the code wasn't what was wrong the radiator leaked into the transmission and it destroyed the transmission. the mechanic rebuilt entire tranny re ran cooling lines and added two cooling fans. he had to buy a brand new valve body and rebuild entire transmission as it was destroyed by the antifreeze. we did see this was a problem with this year nissan and no recall was ever done. the vehicle was in the shop for almost 8 weeks and the amount it cost to repair was a months worth of bring home pay for my self and wife who is disabled. the truck is repaired now thankfully but would of been nice to have nissan foot some of this bill for sure

Transmission radiator and low oil pressure failure

My vehicle lost all power. first started to shake and rattle, then all power was lost. upon further investigation, my engine coolant looked like a milk shake. call nissan, and they said it happens quite often that they have a name for it, "the milk shake". appearently the inner tube, that cools the trans, broke causing fluids to mix, resulting in failure of transmission.

Radiator cracks allowed transmission fluid and engine coolant to mix as a direct cause for transmission destruction! car will no longer move and no warning signs or recalls. this is a known problem by nissan for years and no recall? who got paid at here to allow nissan to get away with that for so many model vehicles for years! car stalled and died while in motion almost causing a major accident with my 2 kids aboard!

Tl* the contact owns a 2005 nissan xterra. while driving approximately 50 mph, the vehicle shook violently and did not shift gears. in addition, the check engine indicator illuminated. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who performed a bypass and flushed the transmission. the vehicle was then taken to another independent mechanic who specialized in transmission service. the transmission was flushed and the filter was changed. the technician also located failure codes 1754 and 1759. the contact called rosen nissan of madison (located at 2510 w beltline hwy, madison, wi 53713) and was informed that the mechanic who performed the bypass wrecked the vehicle. the contact was informed that nothing could be done. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and provided a case number. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was approximately 95,000.

While driving my xterra would not move when i depressed the accelerator. the engine would rev high making a loud noise and the car would barely move. service engine soon light turned on and stayed on. took to a repair shop and was told that it showed a code for the transmission control module. i was told to replace it, over a $1,300. mechanic disassembled transmission to reach control module and found transmission fluid mixed with water. i was advised to replace radiator and flush transmission. looking at $2,000 in repairs. nissan has been aware of a problem with the radiator cracking and mixing with the transmission fluid for awhile. no recall has been issued and consumers are stuck with the bill. they should at least issue a safety bulletin advising their customers of the risk. instead nissan opted to stay silent and has failed to address a serious problem. nissan has put profits before customer service. they should be fined and held accountable for this ongoing problem.

My 2005 nissan xterra trans just died on 5/10/2018. i was driving over the whitestone bridge queensbound on my way to work when it just stopped. my mechanic told me today, 5/18/2018, that the fan went inside the trans and would cost thousands to fix. apparantly this is a common problem. i'm so angry.

Coolant mixing with transmission fluid. the xterra would not shift gears correctly and therefore i investigated more by checking the fluid. i found brown coolant so i decided to do a drain/fill. it was running better and i researched further and found that this is a common problem. i took my xterra to a transmission mechanic who also drained it and repaired a valve that went bad due to the coolant fluid mixing. there was a transmission cooler added as well. he also drained and filled. i then had a transmission flush just to make sure all coolant was out. with all this done, it gave me more time but the damage was done and i am continuing to have shifting issues. i now have to replace my xterra transmission. i really enjoy my xterra and have taken care of it by regular fluid changes and keeping up with it maintenance. it has a strong engine with no leaks and constantly clean motor oil. it is unfortunate that i have had to go through the stress of all of this because of a design flaw that nissan is ...

While driving my car with just over 40,000 miles on it the clutch began to slip as i hit the gas. this caused the vehicle to slow down while in traffic and other drivers were forced to avoid my vehicle which could not safely maintain highway speeds. the clutch had to be replaced. this again just happened at over 80,000 miles. the clutch is wearing very quickly on this vehicle. luckily none of these have caused any real safety concern but i want it documented that nissan is selling a vehicle with a poorly made clutch that could cause safety issue depending on where you are when the failure occurs. if a vehicle loses its clutch it may not be able to shift gears or lose motive power increasing the risk of a crash.

Tl* the contact owns a 2005 nissan xterra. the contact stated that the vehicle was slow to change gears and accelerate. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for servicing and to have the transmission replaced. the failure recurred. the service engine warning indicator kept illuminating and the vehicle suddenly stalled. the vehicle was taken back to an independent mechanic for further diagnostic testing. a dealer was contacted (massapequa nissan, 200 sunrise highway, amityville, ny 11701, (516) 799-2800). the vehicle was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 10v517000 (engine and engine cooling) and nhtsa action number: dp-12004 (power train). the manufacturer issued four technical service bulletins (tsbs) on the engine and four tsbs on the power train, but there was no remedy to provide a solution. the approximate failure mileage was 66,074.

Transmission will not reverse or change gears while leaving the house today

Takata recall...car was driving fine all day until i pulled up to a red light.when light changed and i pressed on gas, car would hardly go but eventually after soft coaxing it got up to speed. was like i just lost first gear on an automatic transmission.subsequent red lights resulted in same problem. researched online about any complaints with this type of problem and found hundreds of complaints on just one website.took vehicle to local transmission repair shop where it was diagnosed with the following problem: coolant box inside transmission burst causing transmission and radiator fluids to mix and ruining both transmission and radiator. cost for this repair is $3800-4500.i have seen hundreds of complaints online about this very same problem. when i contacted nissan corporate i was told there is no recall for this because hundreds is minute in comparison to the thousands of vehicles they have sold.

My 2005 xteraa transmission and radiator needs replaced due to lines breaking and there is water all in the passenger side floorboard and the radiator has goo looking stuff in it and the vehicle will not go in drive at times. i just bought this car february 2016 for my daughter and still owe on this vehicle

Radiator leaked into transmission and both had to be replaced. stoped woring on the cross bronx expressway. very scary situation.

Coolant leak causing transmission to fail. nissan is aware of issue and fails to take responsibilty
