Xterra XE/SE 3.3L V6

This happened on my Saturn SL series car also. The only real fix here is Auto Upholstery & Interiors guy and that will cost $150. Its a real pain and is a def hazard as it can fall down while driving and flap around with the windows open

Xterra LX 3.2L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 63,000 miles

Bought the Xterra last April2015 from Avery Greene Honda in Vallejo, the dealership fix the headliner because I told them that it will be a driving hazard in the future, but after 8 mos, the headliner starts to sagging and peeling off. I diid not try to contact the dealership coz I knew what they gonna say, its AS IS and no warranty. I seen some older Xterra having the same problems, I hope Nissan will check this out and maybe this is considered a recall....

I have a 2004 car with a headliner that looks like it came from a 1920's car. The entire headliner has fallen down and it is a safety hazard.
