Consumer Description

LIKE HUNDREDS OF OTHER XTERRA OWNERS, OUR RADIATOR LINE LEAKED COOLANT INTO OUR TRANSMISSION AND IT TOTALLY DESTROYED THE TRANSMISSION, AS WELL AS THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENT. ALL TOLD, $4,000 TO REPAIR (AND THAT WAS WITH A HEFTY DISCOUNT FROM AAMCO). IT HAPPENED ON AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, AND WE WERE LUCKY NOT TO END UP IN A WRECK. IN THE TWO DAYS IT TOOK AAMCO TO FIX OUR CAR, WE SPOKE WITH TWO OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAD THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPEN TO THEIR XTERRA'S. I AM AMAZED THAT THIS IS SUCH A COMMON PROBLEM AND HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED IN A MORE SATISFACTORY MANNER BY NISSAN. I HOPE THIS INVESTIGATION HELPS DRIVE NISSAN TO DO A RECALL ON THESE PARTS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT. *TR
