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.

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. TIGGGER96 aol.com or Gsoulsearch22aol.com Replies to this message: pietroant (Nov 13, 2008 4:52 pm)
#2752 of 2808 Re: 2nd post about 06 Xterra Clutch issue..unreal!!!!!! [Boris2] by slaviolette Jan 02, 2008 (10:38 pm)
Replying to: Boris2 (Dec 19, 2007 8:57 pm) Be careful!!! If the clutch goes out; you also have to replace the hydraulic system/strip, the disc and the bearings, which is $2000-$2500. Because the new clutch systems now require replacement of all parts in order for the clutch system to run properly ( that is according to the service manager at GO Nissan, NorthGlenn, CO).     You are in a bad situation unless you bought the car brand new, not CPO, and you have had it less than 12,000 miles and less than 12 months.     -If CPO; you should not have signed their warrantee (read the fine print)    *** Nissan will not cover their own faulty installation unless you make sure to make amendments to the written contract/ warrantee    ***I have copies***       - If used or CPO they should cover the same 12,000 miles/ 12 months on the clutch along with the general 36,000/ *** see below: http://www.nissanusa.com/pdf/buying/2007_Nissan_CPOProcGuide0107-R4.pdf     -If new owned; your are equally in jeopardy (please see blogs under Nissan 2006 clutch issues/ even 7,000 miles and under you are not covered.)         Though Nissan will not cover the clutch under any warantee, they have had the 142 point Nissan CPO inspection done, which covers them, not you (how much?). You can have another dealer give you written documentation as to what Nisssan has neglected to do with thier suppossed "Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles". Though Nissan rarely if ever follows up on even their own protocall so you may still have a case, but they will not call you back.   Your best bet, don't buy a Nissan "TRADE IT IN!" ( I have had 3 in the last 7 years, my mistake).   Special note- ***According to Nissan; a warrantable issue is that of a "hard" part such as a "bearing" that goes out, of course they will tell you that the disc caused the bearing to go out not vice versa (even though you have to pay to replace the bearing).

#2753 of 2808 Anti-slip, VDC, etc... by Boris2 Jan 08, 2008 (10:20 am)
I can't figure out how all these systems work, how they work together and what happens when I disable the VDC. According to the manual even when VDC is disabled, the Anti slip still works which kind of makes disabling VDC useless, if I understand the systems correctly. Also, I think I saw somwhere (could even be the manual) that anti slip somehow works with the ABS breaks which doesn't make any sense to me as the system only engages when you're accelerating and not slowing down.   I don't mind the system engaging when it's simply slippery outside - either system for that matter - but when I am specifically disabling the VDC to have the full controll of the the truck I want to make sure I have the full control and none of the additional help is provided.   Also, does VDC work silently or it's somehow tied to the same ASlip light?
#2754 of 2808 08 xterra heater problem by gallicli Jan 18, 2008 (9:10 am)
This is my first Nissan product and since I live in New England, unless I can correct the heating issue, this it will be my last! The heat on the feet only setting is inadequate. Does not supply enough heat to feet, since the heat continues to blow out of both the chest and defrost areas at the same time. There is absolutely no way to supply heat to feet only. I have had the car back to the dealer twice and keep being told that this is the "way it is" since it is an electronic control. In over thirty years of driving I have never owned any vehicle where it was impossible to have heat to feet only. Please advise!

No fun being cold. It has been single digits here with high winds for several days. I started driving in 1964 and have a medical condition making me especially sensitive to cold. The '8 Xterra keeps my feet comfortable after a few minutes of warm up.   Whereas with our '5 Honda Pilot it was almost impossible to get my left foot and leg warm in the winter. Very poor design in my experience. '6 Jeep Commander had a well designed, flexible and balanced heating system. One of the best I have experienced.

Replying to: wyoforester (Jan 18, 2008 1:15 pm) I'm glad that someone has warm feet! However, does the heat only come out at the feet or does it also come out at the chest and defrost area (when set to foot only), on your '08? Replies to this message: tinycadon (Jan 19, 2008 8:11 am)
