| Description of the problem | I purchased a brand new 2005 xterra 1/2006 with 10 miles!!!! I paid 28,000 for this vehicle and worst vehicle i never had!!! I only service this vehicle at the dealership!!!! I had so many issues with this new truck!! The check engine light keeping on at from the very beginning and when i took it to the dealership said nothing was wrong! Over time, this was a complete lemon!! The vehicle had to replace a radio, 6 batteries, 3 alternators, hoses leaking, oil leaking within 3 years purchasing a new truck, fuel sensor replaced, fuel pump replaced, 1 cal. Conventor replaced, and worst of all transmission issues!! The truck will not go up hills and when i took it to 2 different places said that the radiator was leaking into the transmission and nissan knew about this and never said nothing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I only took my truck to the dealership and they never said a thing! I could replaced the radiator long time again to avoid the transmission going out!! 5,500 repair job!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is poor quality truck with all the issues i had since i brought it brand new !! My acura have 241,000 and never had any of these issues that i purchased used!! I contact the corp office and they will never do anything! The nissan dealerships around the country knows the issues with these nissan cars and never say a thing!! I will never purchase a another nissan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They will not stand behind their product!! 4 of my friends with nissan (xterra, pathfinder, and maxima) the transmission went out within 6 months of each other!!! |
