| Description of the problem | Financing and noticed the loud whining gears when car was cold. Almost like a after market racing tranny. Truck being quick and having a powerband it seems, i went with it!! We've had truck just over a year. 6 months ago, heater only blew heat when in motion. It still does both of these things but periodically the heat works like normal. Yes, this truck is still running!!!! But when i leave in the morning, it feels like the e brake is on when its not!! Serious restriction. And on freeway, over 50 mph, grinding sound gets louder by the day. The loud vibrating that if windows are up, your head seemingly could explode!!!! All the same symptoms of coolant in the tranny. Best part is, it was sold to us by a dealership with symptoms obviously nissan knows about. Heading down to trade it in for one over 2010!!! Please make it there xterra!!!! Wow. It still gets up and goes tho. Red light with a new v8 titan, green means go, xterra wins !!! Sad day because we loved this truck. Buh bye baby |
