Nissan uses faulty equipment in their vehicles and ashly at their consumer affairs dept actually told me that nissan only expects their vehicles to last the 3 yrs or 36k miles!! since i purchased this vehicle i have had the a/c compressor replaces, all heater hosses replaced, oil leaks, coolant leaks, drive belts replaced and the alternator replaced. my car literally broke down in my driveway. i was returning from vacation with my son, my dog and my cat-if my trip would have 15 mins. longer i would have broke down on the side of the road. nissan does not stand behind their products at all and does not care about the consumer or their safety!! *tr | |||

Since week i bought this suv i have made complaints about in park and in drive you hear a lifter type ticking noise at the passenger side of this xterra. i for sure think it is a lifter tick but the dealer has always said it is nothing and no not worry about it. it has not gotten loader but inside by the wheel well and also inside right engine side you can hear it. as i drive you can also hear it with the windows up. they agree they hear it but they state all other xterra make the same. they clam it is the normal injector. i think it is lifters or lose valve that the v6 is noted for. i still say a engine of this price should be very quiet and not sound like lifter noise. *nm | |||

From the onset of the purchase i have been hearing a knocking noise in the engine the mechanics at the nissan repair shops states that nothing is wrong , however the noise gets worst when you drive the car , for longer periods , i have had nissan service the car but all they do is tighten the fan, the timing tensioner pulley , yet the noise is still there, nissan north america has been contacted and so has the dealer to this day they cannot find the problem , nor are have they been able to identify the source. *nm |
