| Description of the problem | I first noticed my clutch start to slip upon leaving a stop sign. 15 miles later i was stranded on the side of the road with no gears. My clutch had gone out on a brand new xterra with 1800 miles on it. It was towed to the concord, ca nissan dealer where i purchased it. I was badgered on abusing the car since it had some mud on the tires and they insisted i did not no how to drive manual. I had to replace the clutch and "blued" flywheel since they did not cover it with the warranty. They said this was the worst flywheel the shop has seen. Here i am with 22,000 miles on the car and the clutch is severely slipping again. I will bring my car in to nissan tomorrow. I bought a nissan because i expected high reliability standards but i was wrong. This is the last nissan i will buy and i will certainly pass on the word to my friends. There have been lots of people with the same problems so i am not the only one. |
