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.
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.

Timing chain tensioners. this is the second time to replace in just a few years. this is a well documented issue online for the xterrra. clearly this is a defect in either the car or the tennsioners. at a cost of over $2000 to repair this is an issue that is costly. this is a safety issue and should be covered under recalls.

Total transmission failure caused by a cracked radiator that allowed engine coolant to mix with transmission fluid. cost to fix is more than the value of the vehicle. the defective radiator has no recall on it although the problem is well known to nissan.
Nissan dealership notified me about needing to replace the entire timing chain system. after doing research, it is evident nissan knew about faulty timing chain tensioners and guides that it was using on certain model year xterras, including 2007. if timing chain fails while vehicle is in motion, it can lead to catastrophic engine failure and a $8000+ repair bill for a new engine. nissan knowing about this problem sent service bulletins to its service centers but did not inform consumers about the problem. the timing chain should be good for the life of the engine, but now my local dealership is telling me it is going to cost at least $1900 to replace the timing chain and all components. nissan knew the components are faulty and yet don't care enough to inform consumers. this isn't the first time this has happened. nissan knew that the transmission coolers on same model year were faulty and did not inform consumers. class action lawsuit forced nissan to face the music, but consumers still had to pay over $2000 out of pocket to replace transmission, transmission cooler, and radiator.
Radiator leaked into the transmission rendering both defective and in need of replacement. no heat when car not moving, transmission slipping and skipping while driving.
Nissan dealer told me that the radiator fluids started to leak into the transmission and now the transmission needs to be replaced and it will cost $8000 dollars to fix
Transmission slipping, contamination in radiator. vehicle is now rendered useless until transmission/radiator replacement.
Took suv to woodbury nissan, hearing sounds when driving and no heat. the radiator coolant leaked into the transmission. both needs to be replaced. there was never a recall or any notice to me in the 9 years i have had this from new.i feel nissan should have recalled this, and consumers should not have to pay for a defect they knew about. *tr
