    I recently had a diagnosis of radiator coolant mixing with transmission following my vehicle being towed bc I lost power while driving with no warning signs. I was given an estimate for repairs of $5000. I had the extended warranty but wasn't told of the radiator issues w Xterra. My vehicle mileage is 128,000. Just past the 100,000 mileage mark. I just read an article that states this is a known issue with Nissan Xterra where lawsuits were filed. I just paid $7000 loan in full. I would not have done this had I known I would need this $ to repair my vehicle.

    PREMATURE CLUTCH FAILURE ON MY MANUAL TRANSMISSION. LESS THAN 48000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER AND THE CLUTCH IS GONE. THIS IS FAR TOO LITTLE TRAVEL FOR THE CLUTCH TO BE FAILING AT. DEGRADATION HAS ADVANCED RAPIDLY OVER A MATTER OF WEEKS AND DAYS AND NOW I FEAR HAVING MY FAMILY RIDE IN THE VEHICLE IN CASE THEY BECOMING STRANDED OR NEED TO AVOID A CRASH AND CANNOT DUE TO LOSS OF POWER. GENERAL CONSENSUS IS THAT THE CLUTCH IS TOO SMALL FOR THIS TRUCK. NISSAN CLAIMS THIS IS A WEAR ITEM AND WILL NOT COVER REPLACEMENT UNDER WARRANTY, OR ADMIT THERE IS AN ISSUE AT ALL. NISSAN IS QUICK TO BLAME DRIVER'S FOR 'RIDING THE CLUTCH' AS THE REASON FOR THE FAILURE. THIS IS A COP OUT, PARTICULARLY WHEN ONE CONSIDERS THE NUMBER OF XTERRA OWNER'S EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE.

    I'M FILING A COMPLAINT BEFORE I HAVE AN INCIDENT. I OWN A NISSAN XTERRA. MANY OTHER NISSAN XTERRA OWNERS HAVE HAD SPONTANEOUS SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT WHEN TRAVELING VERY SLOWLY, GENERALLY ON DIRT ROADS. SOME OF THESE DEPLOYMENTS HAVE CAUSED INJURIES. THE PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE COMMON ON ALL 2ND GENERATION NISSAN XTERRAS (2006-2016). THE FOLLOWING LINKS ARE TO XTERRA FORUM THREADS AND PROFESSIONAL PUBLICATIONS ABOUT RANDOM AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT IN XTERRAS. THERE ARE MANY MORE DOCUMENTED CASES OF THIS ONLINE, THE LINKS BELOW ARE A TASTE. THIS ALSO MAY BE A PROBLEM WITH NISSAN FRONTIERS, WHICH ARE BASICALLY THE TRUCK VARIANT OF THE XTERRA. BASED ON ABOVE TEXT, NO INCIDENT/CRASH OCCURRED...NO INJURIES.
