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.
When I first bought my 07 Xterra I did notice that the brakes weren't as strong as other cars I've drove, but it has gotten to the point now where it is unsafe. I haven't looked into it any further besides replacing pads front and rear, and front rotors. Maybe a brake flush is in order, or possibly new master cylinder. I have noticed a good amount of complaints online of the same problem just figured I would add to it
