CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2005-2007 Xterra appears to have a widespread defect where coolant leaks into the transmission, causing transmission failure around 90,000 miles. Repair costs are typically upwards of $3,500.
The same defect exists in the Pathfinder & Frontier as well. And according to the New York Times & a class action lawsuit, the defect actually extends through 2010 model year. More info here.
My 2005 Nissan Xterra (I Purchased New in MA) "not included in the air bag recall" has been to the dealership three times for the air bag light staying on. First two times was a reset. now they are telling me it is a wiring problem, part alone is $813.00 and only three parts are avaliable in the US. from all of the information I can find I am far from the only one with this issue. Shame on NIssan !!!!!
