2005 Nissan XTERRA Power Train Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1009775
Internal NHTSA #	10542812
Manufacurer	Nissan North America, Inc.
Brand	NISSAN
Model	XTERRA
Model Year	2005
File date	08/09/13
Component	POWER TRAIN
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Due to a faulty design by the manufacturer, transmission fluid leaked into the radiator and caused complete failure of the radiator and transmission. Because my vehicle had over 100,000 miles it is not covered in any way by warranty and there was no recall issued. I am now facing a car that is worth $7000 or so and needs more than that in repairs. My vehicle is totaled thanks to a faulty design that has been well documented by the manufacturer, but they will do absolutely nothing to help. If they had simply issued a recall on the radiator when the problem first became known, this would have been and easy $500 fix, instead i am left with a worthless vehicle and insufficient funds to repair it or get a new one. I could not be more angry and disappointed with nissan and their handling of this situation. Needless to say i will never be buying from them again and i will suggest the same to anyone who will listen.
