| This vehicle is only four years old with only 84000 miles, while driving i heard a loud sound coming from under the vehicle. i took the vehicle in to five towns nissan they told me that i have a big problem, my transfer case is not good. the transfer case, seal-oil and seal- oil ring would be $2750.82. labor and tax would be bring it to $4074.33. now we all know owners of this very cute vehicle that it has a factory defect and we need more people like myself to come forth so the would have no choice but to recall these vehicles. | |||

| Faliure of coolant reserve tank. noticed a leak under the car and at first it could not be traced. but on the last oil change a crack on the edge of the coolant tank was noticed. dealership had this part readily available in stock, which leads me to believe that they are aware that there is a design flaw on this tank. the tank was not damaged or showing any signs of where and tear. the position of the crack leads me to conclude a design flaw. | |||

| The battery has been replaced twice in the vehicle and it has less than 35,000 miles on it. the first replacement was done when the car was only about 6 months old and i just recently had to have the battery replaced again. the second battery was supposed to be an 84,000 mile battery and was under warranty. however, when i was driving it, the car died on me and would not start again. the battery had less than 26,000 miles on it. nissan fought us on the replacement even though it was under warranty, but we finally got another one put in. we are on our 3rd battery in less than 3 years. this same vehicle had an engine mount crack at 32,000 miles and has also had the radiator replaced at 34,000 miles. it has been in the shop 4 times now in the last 2 1/2 months. when the radiator went out, the gauges did not even say that the car was running hot. i discovered the issue when my car started smoking everywhere and coolant was all over my vehicle. nissan insists that it is not an electrical issue of any kind and that the gauge can still read cool if the radiator goes out and the car is smoking. all in all, i now have the 3rd new battery, a new radiator, and a new engine mount. the drive belts have also cracked, but nissan refused to do anything about that. | |||
