#2744 of 2808 Re: 2nd post about 06 Xterra Clutch issue..unreal!!!!!! [soulsearch22] by Boris2 Dec 19, 2007 (8:57 pm)
What's wrong with the clutch? Worn or some other problems that require replacement? If you can't get them to replace it under warranty, even though I think they give longer warranty even on break pads, maybe you can take it to AAMCO or some other independend dealer and they can actually tell you what happened... not to mention it would be cheaper too.   Sorry about your experience. I was reluctant to buy my '07 and I guess I am worring too much about the clutch and watching it very closely too. I don't think they changed anything from '06 to '07 except couple of color choices.   I did talk to several techs off the record prior to buying it and none of them could confirm that there are any known (even not advertised by Nissan) problems that they are aware of.

As previously indicated, we had the clutch repaired at our expense at only 7K mi the dealer and Nissan were very uncooperative. If we still own it by the next time it goes - we'll go with some heavier duty parts at a transmission specialist if possible. Wish that FJ wasn't so dang ugly.   None of our Toyota clutches went so quickly, my Tacoma has 102K on it, clutch was repaired at 70K or so. I had a Montero too, Mitsubishi and Toyota have really stood by their products. Was Nissan's intent to make a fast buck on me with the Xterra?. ...I wonder.   Granted used vehicles will have their own set of circumstances - but someone on this forum sounds like theyr'e with a dealership... I could be wrong...
#2746 of 2808 07 Frontier Clutch by mattyk19 Dec 25, 2007 (7:13 pm)
The clutch in my 07 Frontier Crew Cab 2wd just started slipping last week. Of course it had to happen over the holiday's so they won't be able to tell me anything definate about what went wrong until tomorrow. Meanwhile I've been out of a vehicle for almost a week now and I'm sure that I'm going to have to pay a ton of money because Nissan can't seem to build a decent clutch. I cant seem to think that my driving habits are to blame, I drive a ten speed semi for a living and am fully aware that protecting clutch life is a high priority. Since apparently it's not a warranty part, if it goes down again I'm going to replace it with and aftermarket clutch at some local clutch shop for half the price and sell it right away.

Replying to: soulsearch22 (Dec 19, 2007 7:56 pm) I happened to come across this forum while looking for answers as to why the clutch on my 06 Xterra, after only 26,000 miles, needs to be replaced. I have driven manual cars all my life and have raced with SCCA for years and somehow ive managed to abuse this clutch so badly that it cant last more than 26,000 miles??...something is amiss. Something must be done to get Nissan to remedy this situation. Replies to this message: slaviolette (Jan 02, 2008 2:23 pm)

Replying to: jladd23 (Jan 02, 2008 10:49 am) I have tried everything. The dealship I bought mine from changed ownership 30 days after selling it to me so the new owners refuse to do anything about it. I have called Nissan Consumer Affairs department 1-800-647-7261 and they don't seem to want to call back or take responsiblity. I am looking into a class action law suite because this seems to be a common problem. We only had ours for 1 month before this happended even though it was a certified pre-owned with a limited warantee in addition to the 36 month, 36,000 mile. If you are intested in a class action please email tiggger96aol.com.
#2750 of 2808 Re: 2wd vs 4wd [lawrencea] by slaviolette Jan 02, 2008 (9:15 pm)
Replying to: lawrencea (Nov 09, 2007 12:12 pm) In dealing with our 2006 Xterra which is a 4 wheel drive ( we couldn't take it in 4 wheel because the dealership put bad tires on it) we had to take our Xterra out in the Colorado winter weather in 2 wheel rear drive. It did ok because we have been driving in the snow for 25 years, but my spouse and I both agree that the 2006 Saturn ION (front wheel drive coupe) we own would have been better.    Don't buy it if you intend on anything but dessert weather or are extremely experienced with an under performing car in bad weather.

Replying to: mattyk19 (Dec 25, 2007 7:13 pm) The entire engine in the Frontier is the same as the Xterra. If you are having issues please contact those of us who are legally pursuing the issue with Nissan.
