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.
I think that this is ridiculous that Nissan knew about this problem and refused to put it on the Recall list! I don't have the money to have this fixed or to buy another car! If I end up having to find a way to buy another car I will Never buy a Nissan again and will pass the word Not to buy Nissan. That is just bad business, how can you trust a company that would put so many lives in Danger!!!!??????
Update from Jul 5, 2018: I saw that there was a lawsuit in New York and a few other states about the timing chain in 2015, What happened with that? and what about the other Nissan owners that have this problem? I am in Pennsylvania and I haven't heard anything about a "RECALL" or a lawsuit. If anyone has any information on this issue, please let me know. I don't have the money to fix it or buy another car at this time. my email is Reeves276@comcast.net.
