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.

The contact owns a 2004 Nissan Xterra. The contact stated that the check engine light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where they advised the contact that there was a fuel leak and the fuel tank needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and they advised the contact that there were no recalls for the vehicle. The failure mileage was approximately 158,000.
I smell gas inside the car, I took it to a shop and they told me the gas tank is all rusted on top, causing the gas to spill out. I called junk yards and all there tanks for the Nissan are also corroded. I called Nissan and they said there were no recalls. They said it is from living in a salt area. However no other makes or models that I have had ever did this. I was told to take it to a Nissan dealer for evaluation. Which I did but felt unsafe driving the car. I feel this should be a recall, please help. Thanks
My 2004 Nissan Xterra has a rusted fuel tank. I always smell gas. Nissan corporate told me to bring it to a dealer.I brought it in to Nissan to confirm this and they said" its rusted and dangerous to drive" I called corporate and they said the will get in touch with me in 3 days, its been 2 weeks. A gas tank should not rot in 5 years(bought in 05) with 58,000. If the tech said I should not drive this truck then why is Nissan Corp. Not getting back to me in a timely manner?
