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.
This is terrible I just had to replace my catalytic converter because of bad ECM in my opinion. This part was expensive to replace. Not a week later my car shift lock is acting up. These are not ordinary things to go out on a car. I believe Nissan is not reporting these problems with their vehicles because they do not want to pay for the repairs. I have been a loyal nissan customer but I am appalled at their lack of care for their customers. These are things that they should be replacing at cost to the company. Disappointed Nissan customer!!!!!
