CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2004 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.

Coolant in transmission! bought new in March of 2015. Was driving on I-10 in biloxi and it started smelling like a burnt rubber smell and it started smoking! pulled over and got out of it! left me and my daughter stranded on the side of the highway!
