CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2003 Nissan Xterra doesn't seem to have any problem trends. The only thing prospective owners should be aware of are the less-than-perfect (but acceptable) crash test ratings.

There are a very few transmission complaints, but nothing like the huge defect that shows up starting in with the 2005 model year.

The paint under the back window began flaking and peeling. It looks horrible, and has gotten worse over the years, only in that area though.

I have noticed many other nissans with this paint peeling issue! ALSO they all seem to have the same color as my car. I complained about it early on in life of the car and was told it was road dings... then just this year under the back cargo door window panel, just under the window the paint started peeling/ flaking off!!! all the way to the metal. I have noticed this with pathfinders too! Why is there no recall??
