2001 Nissan Xterra

I WAS TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH WHEN A VEHICLE PULLED OUT OF A BUSINESS PARKING LOT, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO YIELD, CAUSING ME TO COLLIDE WITH HER DRIVER DOOR. MY CONCERN IS THAT MY AIRBAG IN MY 2001 NISSAN XTERRA FAILED TO DEPLOY CAUSING ME TO HIT THE STEERING WHEEL WITH MY CHEST. I CONTACTED NISSAN AND THE RESULTS WERE THAT I FAILED TO PROPERLY DECELERATE; THIS WAS THE CAUSE FOR THE FAILURE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 NISSAN XTERRA. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BE REPAIRED UNDER A RECALL. THE REMEDY WAS PERFORMED BY SILICONE SPRAY BEING SPRAYED OVER THE STRAP SENDING UNIT, WHICH RESTS ON THE FUEL PUMP AND INDICATES HOW MUCH FUEL THE VEHICLE IS USING. AFTER HAVING THE VEHICLE REPAIRED, WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STOPPED. THE CONTACT FEELS THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE A CRASH COULD HAVE OCCURRED. HE FEELS THAT THE REPAIR WAS NOT FIXED PROPERLY, BUT COVERED UP INSTEAD. HE WOULD LIKE THE REPAIR WORK INVESTIGATED. THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 92,000.

IT'S BEEN 1 1/2 YEAR THAT I HAVE THE PROBLEM WITH REAR WINDOWS ON MY NISSAN XTERRA. THEY CAN GO DOWN, BUT THEY WANT GO UP. I HAVE TWO KIDS OF 5 AND 16 YEARS OLD AND I AM LITTLE CONCERNED WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF I PUT THE WINDOWS DOWN BY MISTAKE.I THINK THIS IS VERY UNSAFE. I DID CONTACT NISSAN AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THIS IS NOT THEY PROBLEM. I DID LOOK ONLINE AND I FOUND THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE IF I OPEN THOSE WINDOWS BY MISTAKE LETS SAY IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE. VERY UNSAFE!!!!! THANK YOU! *TR

(1) MY DRIVER WINDOW BEGAN TO GRIND WHEN I USED IT. SHORTLY AFTER IT WOULD NOT WORK AT ALL. (2) CURRENTLY, 3 OF 4 OF MY WINDOW REGULATORS DO NOT WORK PROPERLY. I STARTED TO LOOK ON THE NET TO SEE IF OTHERS ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND THAT IS HOW I FOUND THIS WEB SITE. NISSAN NEVER SENT ME ANYTHING ON THIS ISSUE EVEN THOUGH THEY HAD A VOLUNTARY SERVICE CAMPAIGN (PU306 & PU307). THEY DON'T CONSIDER IT A DANGER, BUT I THINK THAT IN THE MIDDLE OF A MICHIGAN WINTER WHEN MY WINDOWS WON'T GO UP AND YOU HAVE A BABY IN THE BACK SEAT DANGEROUS. AFTER MULTIPLE PHONE CALLS TO NISSAN THEY WANT ME TO TAKE IT INTO TO THE DEALER AND PAY $100 FOR THEM TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. I DON'T HAVE $100 TO GAMBLE WITH KNOWING THAT IT MAY LEAD TO NOT REIMBURSEMENT. I AM THE ONLY OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE AND NISSAN HAS ALWAYS HAD MY CONTACT INFO, YET THEY NEVER SENT ME ANY NOTICE OF THIS EXPIRED CAMPAIGN. *TR

MAJOR ELECTRICAL FIRE WHICH DESTROYED THE ENGINE ROOM HARNESS , SHORTED THE POWER TRANSIISTOR IN THE DISTRIBUTOR, DESSTROYED THE HOOD RELEASE CABLE AND BURNED THE WINDSHIELD WASHER TUBING, AND ALSO MULTIPLE FUSES AND RELAYS.THIS CONDITION OCCURED DUE TO THE MANUFACTURER CRUSHING THE WIRING FOR THE LEFT FRONT COMBINATION LIGHT UNDER THE AIR FILTER HOUSING AGAINST THE METAL BODY DURING INSTALLATION AT THE FACTORY.ALL PARTS RETAINED AND VEHICLE AVAILABLE FOR INSOECTION VEHIICLE CURRENTLY NOT RUNNING.

SINCE I BEGAN OWNERSHIP OF MY VEHICLE, I HAVE HAD TO GET THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM HOSES REPLACED 2 TIMES. BOTH TIMES, THE LOW PRESSURE AND HIGH PRESSURE HOSES HAVE CRACKED AND LEAKED FREON. ONE REPLACEMENT OCCURRED LESS THAN 2 YEARS AFTER THE INITIAL REPLACEMENT WHICH OCCURRED WITHIN 3 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP BUT DID OCCUR OUTSIDE OF 50,000 WARRANTY. *TR
