| Description of the problem | I own a 2006 nissan xterra and the clutch failed at 23,000 miles. I recently had it repaired at my expense since it is considered a wearable part and not covered under warranty. The old clutch is in my possession. I am having a hard time believing this part failed due to my driving behavior. I travel mostly over flat lands, do not down shift to slow the vehicle, do not haul loads. The car has not been abused..... Nonetheless i've driven 2 different makes also manual transmission for a total of 15 years before the nissan and never had a clutch failure. Sounds shockingly similar to other experiences logged on this reputable forum. Http://townhall-talk. Edmunds. Com/direct/view/. F17e7ed/0 there is a trend here that nissan must address. I am not convinced the clutch is repaired and will not fail again. I have logged complaints with nissan consumer affairs, written letters to bbb, nissan's vice president but no resolutions. This can be a potential hazard to a motorist. |
