| Service engine soon light came on while driving on residential streets. had code checked. code listed as p0462. cleared code then restarted car. upon starting car none of the gauges worked only the tachometer and speedometer worked. fuel, temperature, oil, odometer, trip odometer and all warning lights to include turn signal indicators did not work. upon driving gauges would regain power, but the fuel gauge did not function properly. took vehicle to dealer. seems that my vin was not included in the recall # 10v075000, even though the exact recall repair was done to my car to fix this issue. while the fuel gauge now works, none of my other gauges work. i was told the combo meter that controls my cluster of gauges would need to be replaced. there were no issues with my vehicle until the service engine soon light came on. my vehicle should have been included in the recall stated above, and i find it highly suspect that all of my gauges go out at the exact same time, but according to nissan these are two separate unrelated issues. i have had to pay $488 to repair what should have been covered under the recall, and now need to pay an additional $590 to repair my gauges. my vehicle should have been included in the recall for other 08 nissan xterras. | |||

| While driving at 65 mph, the engine suddenly stopped. no warning lights were illuminated prior to the failure. gas, temp., and oil pressure were all normal. a private garage diagnosed the problem as a failure in the intelligent power distributor module (ipdm), and also the mass air flow sensor. both parts were replaced (at my expense) and the car now runs well. | |||

| Plastic tray that the battery sits on broke, causing the bar that holds the battery in place to arch over and set the plastic fuse holder on the battery to catch fire. the vehicle stalled the died. i saw what i thought was steam coming from under the hood. i popped to hood from inside and saw flames. i got out and tried to open the hood, which is very difficult since the latch is small and black. i got my grandkids out of the car and tried once more to open the hood. i finally got it opened and realized the battery was on fire. i poured the only liquid i had on it, a&w cream soda and put out the fire. it totally melted part of the battery and the battery connector. amazing enough the vehicle started and i was able to drive home. had i not been able to open the hood, the vehicle would have burnt to the ground all because of the cheap plastic battery holder broke. *tr | |||

| 2008 nissan xterra, chronic failures of the vdc traction control system, also causing failures in abs and air bags 7 repair attempts since purchased new 6 months ago including computer reprogramming, battery replacement, steering angle sensor adjustments, replacement of air bag control module and replacement of abs control module. these failures cause total failure in multiple electronic safety systems representing a serious threat to life or bodily harm. multiple incidents - the date below represents date of brand new purchase which was the day of the first malfunction for me. the dealership noticed a malfunction at the time of the pdi (but did not disclose this at the time of sale to my great outrage). *tr | |||
