We have classified the 2 complaints from 2007 Nissan Xterra about STRUCTURE into the following categories.
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.
Nissan xterras are on recall in northern states due to snow and salt affecting the front crash sensor. i bought my nissan intexas but work for the army and live in germany where there is plenty of ice and snow. nissan said because i bought my car in texas, it isn't covered under the recall. they need to recall all vehicles with this safety flaw. *tr
From the day 1 i purchased this vehicle water is dropping from ac on a passenger side. dealer tried to repair, even changed mats. did not help. there is a bad smell inside the vehicle if i keep it locked after using ac. *tr
