Description of the problem	I own a 2005 nissan xterra. My problem started with the fuel leveling system and my check engine light coming on. It was the fuel leveling sender. My fuel was not registering correctly at all. Next came stalling of my suv. I would be driving and it would act as if it was running out of gas and cut off. That turn out to be the emc, in which i paid for but was reimburse because nissan issued a recall for the emc. This did not fix the fuel leveling sender problem. A few months later, my suv was having a "hard crank". It just did not want to turn over. It would stall while driving. I would just cut off. I took that to a dealership and they said it was the cam sensors. So, i had the cam sensors replaced and i had the fuel level sender replaced. It was recommended that i have a mult-point inspection, so i had everything with that replace. I spent a $1000, only for my check engine light to come back on the next day. I took it back to the dealership for them to tell me now it is the catalyst converters and both needs to be replace. The price for both parts alone was $1300. I do not understand why so many xterra owners are having these types of problems and nissan are not responsible for fixing them. They will offer an extended warranty after the fact, but by the time the problem occur a 2005 does not qualify for the extended warranty. The catalyst converters affects the clean air for your vehicle. This is a safety issue.
