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.
I bought this vehicle used with 72,000 Km's at a Nissan dealership. When I test drove it, everything seemed like it should. After getting it home and driving it in the rain a week or two later, I noticed the rear wiper would just randomly stop after 3 wipes, and it would not come back on again for about 3 minutes. This poses a bit of a problem when driving in the rain or snow at times.
I took it back to the dealer and they basically told me it was my problem and probably my fault. Their only solution was to replace the wiper motor. Thanks again for the great service from Nissan...
