NHTSA Complaint #10445735 — 2005 NISSAN XTERRA

THERE WAS A LOUD RUMBLE AND JERKING WHILE DRIVING AT 35MPH. FLUID WAS LEAKING BADLY ALSO. I TOOK THE CAR TO NISSAN ON ON APRIL 21, 2008. THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. AGAIN, THE CAR STARTED JERKING AND MAKING LOUD RUMBLES. I TOOK IT BACK TO NISSAN AND THEY SAID THE U JOINTS WERE BAD AND REPLACED THEM. AS SOON AS I PULLED OUT OF THEIR PARKING AREA, THE CAR DID THE SAME THING. SO, I TOOK IT BACK AGAIN. THIS TIME, THEY TOLD ME THAT THE RADIATOR WAS COMING APART AND LEAKING ANTIFREEZE INTO TRANSMISSION. THEY CHARGED ME $1285.89 TO REPLACE THE RADIATOR AND FLUSH THE TRANSMISSION. IT IS NOW 2012 AND THE CAR IS DOING THE SAME THING AGAIN. THE PROBLEM WAS NEVER FIXED PROPERLY TO BEGIN WITH. I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION AT A HIGH PRICE. ANYONE READING THIS SHOULD PHONE ME AT SO THAT WE CAN START A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT AGAINST NISSAN. LETS INFORM EVERYONE WHO HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM. FROM WHAT I HAVE BEEN READING, THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS WELL AS A COSTLY PROBLEM.
