#2773 of 2808 Re: 01 Xterra SE - car alarm ultra-sensitive [swintronix] by steve_ HOST Jun 04, 2008 (2:45 pm)
Replying to: swintronix (Jun 03, 2008 9:11 pm) My '97 Subaru alarm was acting up - I suspected the shock sensor, and it seemed mostly affected by cold weather. There is an sensitivity dial adjustment on mine. Assuming the factory setting can be adjusted, the dealer may know how to set yours for a lower sensitivity.   I go so frustrated with mine, instead of tinkering with the dial settings, I disconnected the battery and pulled the siren out and clipped the wires. Now it sometimes doesn't want to crank if I don't hit "unlock" on the key fob or press the "secret" override button that mine has, so I really can't recommend this method. But it did shut it up!   Good luck - durn alarms can really drive you boinkers.
#2774 of 2808 Rust??? by mysport Jun 09, 2008 (9:01 am)
Have 2006 with 22K on it and rust bubbles are forming just below the rear window. No accidents or anything like that. Not looking forward to resolving this with the dealer/Nissan - if the clutch fiasco we went through is any indication.   Ugghh.

#2775 of 2808 gas? by Boris2 Jun 11, 2008 (11:48 am)
What kind of gas do you put in XTerra? I've been fulling up with mid grade for the last years on all of my cars (including XTerra) and the dealer recently told me that all Nissans are designed for regular unleaded for the last several years.   I know that it'd make only $3-4 difference per fuel up but it all adds up.

#2777 of 2808 Re: 2nd post about 06 Xterra Clutch issue..unreal!!!!!! [slaviolette] by jdrivers09 Jun 15, 2008 (12:13 pm)
Replying to: slaviolette (Jan 02, 2008 10:38 pm) First off, I apologize for replying so late, however I had the exact same issue around the same time with my purchased brand new 2006 Off Road manual transmission. The only difference in my case, was I quit searching around the net because Nissan graciously decided to repair my clutch under warranty. I have a feeling it was because the service manager here in Fairbanks, AK really pushed for the warranty coverage. The flywheel, pressure plate, and clutch pad all had to be replaced at 21k miles. I noticed it failing well before I took it to the dealer, but I literally smoked the thing! They gave me the same spiel about how there are no recorded cases of 06 clutch failures and how it's probably because I'm hard on my vehicle. I did tow about 3500 lbs from Georgia to Alaska, but at no time did I ever "abuse" my clutch. I have been driving manual shift vehicles for 9 years now, 3 of them towing cars in a wrecker, so I know abuse to a clutch. I keep reading more and more of these posts on the net, which concerns me for the next 20k miles on this clutch. Whenever towing or in 4x4, I can smell the pad burning again, and despite taking it back to the dealer twice, they have yet to do anything about it. If it happens again I'm just going to replace it myself with an aftermarket clutch kit. Nissan is a bastard for not doing anything about this for others; last Nissan I buy.
#2778 of 2808 Re: 07 Frontier Clutch [mattyk19] by judy28 Aug 04, 2008 (7:43 am)
Replying to: mattyk19 (Dec 25, 2007 7:13 pm) Hi Mattyk19,   I was so welcome to see your clutch problem, and as many others stated, it can't be my driving habilts as you have driven mannual your whole life. Me too. I find my 2005 Frontier clutch is bad at 47,000 miles. The dealer says it is not covered unless they open it up (with my authorization for $400 if not covered) and it is a spring.For a truck that is supposed to be rated for a towing capacity of 5000 punds plus what a buch a nonesense. My dealer has reffered me to nissan. I was wondering how you made out with your situation. Thank you, judy
#2779 of 2808 2003 Nissan Xterra XE - 2WD by dzuba Aug 07, 2008 (12:35 pm)
Considering buying this for my 16yr old...........w/94K miles on it for 5K. Not sure if I will as it does not have side air bags. I used to have a 98 Maxima that ran forever and was very reliable. Any thoughts on the reliability of this model, and specific issues/parts inherent to the 03 Xterra?

Replying to: slaviolette (Jan 02, 2008 9:22 pm) Just recently posted my issue under the Xterra clutch problem forum. I know yours occured a few months ago. Have you made any progress.
#2781 of 2808 Question About 2009 Model Parking Brake by asa Nov 15, 2008 (1:10 pm)
On the 2009 Xterra Manual Transmission 6-Speed is the parking brake a handbrake in the center console or is it somewhere else? Thanks. Replies to this message: Boris2 (Dec 01, 2008 11:50 am) dat2 (Dec 13, 2008 11:38 pm) asa (Dec 19, 2008 3:23 pm)

Replying to: asa (Nov 15, 2008 1:10 pm) It better be! I looked at the pics they listed on their website and it's either int he center console or under the left foot. If it's a foot brake it completely defeats the purpose of having the manual transmission.
