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 Xterra has been leaking air from the rear driver side tire. At first I thought it was the tire. After inspection the tire was fine, but a fitting or something on the tire pressure monitor was leaking. This is a system where the vehicle will warn you when tire pressure is low. In my case the system is CAUSING my tire to be low.
