2007 NISSAN XTERRA Engine And Engine Cooling Problems

MY NISSAN WHICH I LOVED ORIGINALLY WHEN I PURCHASED IT BRAND NEW HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS AND I HAVE MAINTAINED IT AND SERVICED IT FAITHFULLY. I HAD TAKEN MY TRUCK FOR SERVICE TWICE PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT FOR REGULAR MAINTENANCE AND NOTHING WAS DETECTED AS FAR AS THE RADIATOR CRACKING. THIS IS WHAT CAUSES THE TRANSMISSION TO GO. THE FIRST TIME I WENT FOR SERVICE IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY NOTHING WAS SAID. THE SECOND TIME AT 80588 ANOTHER SERVICE WAS DONE BASIC OIL CHANGE AND TIRE ROTATION SUPPOSEDLY EVERYTHING CHECKED OUT FINE EACH TIME A MULTI POINT INSPECTIONS WAS DONE. I IMAGINE THIS INCLUDES PLACING THE VEHICLE ON THE DIAGNOSTIC COMPUTERIZED MACHINE. WELL, SHORTLY AFTER THIS IS WHEN MY MAJOR PROBLEMS BEGAN. MY VEHICLE BEGAN TO VIBRATE AS IF I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY RIDING ON THE SHOULDER WERE THE WARNING STRIPS WITH THE GRIDS VIBRATES YOUR CAR...

TIMINS CHAINS WEAR DOWN TOO EASILY. *TR

MY CHECK ENGINE SON LIGHT CAME ON, I WENT TO AUTOZONE AND I WAS TOLD THE ERROR CODE STATED FUEL SENDING UNIT/SENSOR. I WAS TOLD THAT NISSAN RECOMMENDS YOU KEEP A HALF A TANK OF GAS IN THE TANK. MY XTERRA GUAGE IS VERY UNPREDICTABLE 90% OF THE TIME EVEN WHEN I FILL THE TANK UP THE GUAGE DOESN'T REGISTER, AND IT'S STUCK ON E WITH THE GAS LIGHT ON CONSTANTLY, WHICH HAS CAUSED ME A SINGLE MOTHER OF 3 TO RUN OUT OF GAS TWICE. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THERE WAS A VOLUNTARY RECALL, BUT I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT THERE WASN'T. I ALSO LIVE IN A CITY WHERE THERE IS EMISSIONS TESTING WHICH I CAN'T PASS BECAUSE OF THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, I CANNOT RECEIVE MY VEHICLE TAG, WHICH MEANS I CAN'T WORK OR DRIVE. I WOULD LIKE THIS SENSOR REPLACED AT NO CHARGE TO...

MY CAR 2007 NISSAN XTERRA STARTED TO MAKE A REVVING NOISE UNDER THE HOOD ON SUNDAY 10/2/2011. THE NEXT DAY I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I CAUTIOUSLY DROVE THE MIN SPEED LIMIT TO THE MID-CITY NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHICH WAS LESS THAN 2 MILES AWAY AT THIS POINT. THE NEXT DAY, MID-CITY NISSAN INFORMED ME THAT I NEEDED THE TIMING CHAIN REPAIRED ASAP. THIS SIGHT ISN'T THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU SO I'LL SAVE YOU THE EXTRANEOUS LIES NISSAN TRIED TO SELL ME SO THEY DIDN'T HAVE TO FIX MY CAR WHICH WAS UNDER 46000 MILES AND STILL UNDER EXTENDED NISSAN FACTORY WARRANTY. NOT WANTING TO SPEND $2000 ON A CAR THAT I AM STILL PAYING FOR AND IS STILL CONSIDERABLY NEW AT 46000 MILES. SO I CALLED MY TRUSTED NEIGHBORHOOD MECHANIC TO LOOK AT IT. HE CONCLUDED THAT...

NO FAILURE OCCURRED, THOUGH WHILE AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPLACEMENT OF A FAULTY FACTORY PART, I WAS INFORMED OF ANOTHER FAILING FACTORY PART (THE TIMING CHAIN GUIDES) THAT WAS A WELL KNOWN AND DOCUMENTED PROBLEM THAT NISSAN FAILED TO ADDRESS FOR ITS CONSUMERS. THE COST OF THE REPAIR WAS ESTIMATED AT $1533.64. *TR

SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON THEN FUEL GAUGE NO LONGER WORKS. SEEMS TO BE A RECURRING PROBLEM IN NISSANS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN XTERRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FUEL PUMP WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED. THE CONTACT WAS THEN TOLD THAT THE VEHICLE WAS ALSO RUNNING ROUGHLY AND THE INTELLIGENT POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE WAS REPLACED. THE FAILURE DID NOT RECUR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 93,348 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 94,800. UPDATED 03/15/11 *BF UPDATED 1/5/12 *CN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN XTERRA. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35-40 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND IT WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE DEALER MADE REPAIRS TO THE VEHICLE HOWEVER, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS IN WORSE CONDITION AFTER REPAIRS. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS EXTREMELY LOOSE, THE FUEL LEVEL GAUGE WAS NOT OPERATING, THE TIRE PRESSURE WARNING GAUGE INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED AND OCCASIONALLY, THE VEHICLE WOULD FAIL TO START. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER BUT WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WERE SEVERAL RECALLS REPAIRS MADE TO THE VEHICLE BUT HE WAS NOT SURE WHICH RECALL REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED. THE FAILURE PERSISTED AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT FURTHER REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 29,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 63,700.

VDC AND SLIP LIGHT COME ON TOGETHER AT RANDOM START UP TIMES AND WILL STAY ON UNTIL THE MOTOR IS TURNED OFF. AFTER I TURN THE MOTOR OFF, THE NEXT TIME IT IS TURNED ON JUST THE VDC LIGHT WILL BE ON. EVENTUALLY THIS WILL TURN OFF WHEN DRIVING. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE I BOUGHT MY 2007 NISSAN XTERRA AND I HAVE TAKEN IT IN TO BE FIXED TWICE. BOTH TIMES A SENSOR WAS ADJUSTED, BUT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. NOW THAT IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY, THE DEALERSHIP TELLS ME IT WILL COST $1000 TO FIX?!?! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN XTERRA. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE FUEL LEVEL GAUGE DROPPED FROM THREE QUARTERS FULL TO INDICATE THERE WAS ONLY ONE QUARTER FULL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 43,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 45,000.

THIS AN ADDENDUM TO COMPLAINT CONF # 10330608. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON IN CONCERT WITH TYHE ERRATIC FUEL GAUGE ALSO. *TR
