CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2005-2007 Xterra appears to have a widespread defect where coolant leaks into the transmission, causing transmission failure around 90,000 miles. Repair costs are typically upwards of $3,500.
The same defect exists in the Pathfinder & Frontier as well. And according to the New York Times & a class action lawsuit, the defect actually extends through 2010 model year. More info here.
With @80000 miles the radiator had to be replaced and tranny rebuilt, drivers side window motor replaced twice, valve for emissions at rear of vehicle replaced, 2 oxygen sensors, alternator. Now engine light came on and code is telling me the catalytic convertor has reached its limit.
Nissan should be made to buy back all the garbage they have put out there. I can't sell this lump of cesspool slime unless I give it away or nobody wants any part of it because they know of all the problems Nissan has and how they tried to get away without fixing it, Now I understand that there is a timing belt problem where you pretty much destroy your engine and all these vehicles are out of warranty. I have to stop cause I'm making myself ill. Nissan could give their products away for free, I would shoe leather express for transportation first.
