I would expect this from a SUV with much higher mileage but 125,000 miles, you got to be kidding. My 1945 Willys was tougher than this POS Lemon. I have a very limited income and this killed me. This was supposed to be off road tough and I had VW's that were far tougher. This is just the start of the problems you have with XTERRA's, they are junk. The flywheels on these are two part and when they wear out they destroy everything in the clutch area, and they cost over $400 dollars and are junk.
