We have classified the 208 complaints from 2007 Nissan Xterra about POWER TRAIN into the following categories.
Transmission has been making a loud noise, a loud "clunk" periodically when in motion and more prevalent going uphill. the mechanic stated the transmission needs replaced due to radiator fluid leaking into transmission and has ruined transmission.he stand transmission fluid is contaminated.
All the sudden my xterra would not accelerate and shut down. towed to garage to find out collect leaked with oil and damaged transmission and radiator. called dealership who provided no help and quote for $5800.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan xterra. while driving approximately 35 mph, the check engine warning indicator illuminated. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who determined that the transmission failed and needed to be rebuilt or replaced. the vehicle was not taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the approximate failure mileage was 127,000.
Radiator defect caused transmission failure.
The radiator had failed and allowed radiator fluid to mix with transmission fluid. this ruined the transmission which will cost thousands of dollars. we always took care of our suv so we should not have to be dealing with these problems. we currently cannot afford the repairs so we will have an suv parked and that we cannot drive. we had to pull over in the middle of the highway due to the vehicle's extremely hot temperature.
In march 2019 the transmission started getting sluggish while dropping my daughter at school one day. eventually it would not switch gears as i pulled in my driveway from my 1.5 mile trip to/from the school. eventually it wouldn't even start in my driveway even with good battery. replaced a fuse for the transmission control module and was able to start the vehicle but it blew the fuse. had my vehicle towed to our mechanic and he discovered discovered that the coolant mixed with transmission fluid and now i have to replace everything involved. also, the mechanism that opens the tailgate/trunk door/liftgate will not stay open, especially in colder weather. it has hit several people in the head and is a definite hazard.
I was driving down a busy city street when the transmission stopped shifting. the speed of the car decreased and left me right in the middle of the street. i than had it towed to a nissan dealership and said it has been cross contaminated with the radiator and will be a $4,800.00 fix.
Transmission failure due to leak from radiator cooling system fluid intermixing with transmission fluid. check engine light came on while driving, went to repair shop the code p0717 came up. upon inspection by the repair shop it was determined that the transmission, radiator, and all hoses,etc. that interconnected the transmission and radiator had to be replaced.i live in california and the problem occured in arizona.
I was driving in an intersection when my gears slipped almost causing a multi-car collision because my car was shifting correctly. i wasn't sure what happened until it happened a couple of more times the same day. i knew immediately that something was wrong with the transmission on my automatic 2007 nissan xterra. i've had no issues with the transmission or car at all until then. the engine is strong and sound. everything works except now the transmission has failed. i use this vehicle simply to drive to work and state to state highway traveling. i took it to my mechanic after the incidents and noticing a milky brown substance leaking from the radiator. opened it up and the radiator was completely mixed with transmission fluid. apparently, the hoses from radiator and transmission are intertwined from the factory manufacture build. this mistake is now going to cost me thousands of dollars and could have potentially costs human lives in a horrific accident! after researching online this seems to have happened to thousands of xterra and frontier owners. these cars need to be recalled or else several highway/safety issues will occur. imagine driving and suddenly you have no powertrain to redirect ...

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan xterra. while idling at a stop sign, the vehicle failed to accelerate when the accelerator pedal was depressed. the vehicle had to be pushed off the roadway and towed home. an independent mechanic diagnosed that the radiator ruptured, causing coolant to enter into the transmission. the contact called autonation nissan (811 thornton rd, lithia springs, ga 30122, (770) 674-6080), but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was unknown.
Transmission fluid in radiator in 2016, had to rebuild radiator. 2018 gas gauge fuel sensor not reading accurately. only registers 1/4 tank even when filled.
Vehicle transmission started to slip and now, the transmission does not engage at random times causing power loss while in motion whether driving on highways or city streets. this problem is not worsen or aliviated by turning or breaking. the transmission will eventualy engage after slowing the vehicle down and later accelerating. the vehicle was brought to a trained mechanic who found that the coolant fluid was entering the transmission and oil was mixing with the coolant fluid. a second opinion from another trained mechanic verified the same problem.
Loss of power due to leak of the radiator to the transmission, follow by transmission failure. the vehicle runs in one gear and the dealer suggested changing the transmission for $4,000 are they crazy..........2007 nissan xterra with low miles 89,000 one owner. i am never buying nissan again
