Description of the problem	I was driving along and check engine light came on. Checked internet and found out that many people had this happen around 50,000 miles. This is supposed to be guaranteed for 50,000 miles and in practice most last a lot longer, but not in the case of the xterra. Nissan has noticed the large number of incidents but although they have completely redesigned the system they refuse to recall it. Many of the posts here take about the engine conking out at speed which is an unsafe condition. The dealer admitted today that they have seen 4 this month, its becoming a real problem and should be recalled. Dealer quoted me $70. 00 for the quote, $590. 00 for the canister, and $90. 00 for labor. I can't believe that nissan would know about the bad design, engineer a fix for it, and withhold the fix from the customer, unless they are willing to cough up almost $800. 00 to fix their mistake. This scares me as suv accidents are usually pretty bad with far more rollovers than regular cars. Please take the appropriate action before someone is seriously hurt.
