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 transmission in my 2003 Nissan Xterra needs to be replaced. The radiator fluid has leaked into the transmission fluid causing damage to my transmission. This is a widespread problem and should be handled by the Nissan dealership.
