I have a 2006 Xterra and just saw that both of the front tires are scalping on the inside. I can't decide if I should take it to a tire shop or the dealer. I have no problems with the alignment, it drives great. Has anyone else had this problem? Also the "always on" power source in the front no longer works. Checked the fuses and they all look good. Anyone have this problem too?

Chriping in Engine  Hello fellow Xterra owners- We have noticed a "chirp" in the engine of our 2004 Xterra. We brought it to 2 different places for estimates, both of which indicated we needed new belts. We had the belts replaced. Still chirping. They said it must be the pulley. Replaced it. Still chirping. They admitted they took a stethoscope to the engine to try and figure out exactly where it was coming from but still didn't know. Any ideas? We changed the oil and put in a new air filter, too.

| I bought an '03 Xterra about 3 months ago with 47K on it and recently have noticed a grinding of metal coming from the front end of the vehicle when I turn either right or left. The sound will last ranging from 5 seconds to over a minute depending on the travelling speed. I would've figured it was something to do with the Steering mechanism, but I took it to a mechanic today and he originally thought it might be the CV joint, but was convinced that it was the brakes. He recommended I replace the brake pads and both rotors in the front end. Has anybody else experienced this problem or anything like it? I feel a little suspicious that although I do need new brakes, it could possibly be something else causing the problem. | |

Turn ignition switch “OFF” wait at least 10 seconds. 4. Turn ignition switch “ON” and wait at least 2 seconds. 5. Turn ignition switch “OFF” wait at least 10 seconds. Proceed at your own risk -- I've never had a reason to mess with mine and it might be a waste of time. It reads as if ya don't actually start the engine in the procedure. |

i just rolled 100,000 miles and while all scheduled maintance have been performed. the only thing is was missing was cleaning the mass air sensor. this part is pretty expensive to replace at around 450.00 dollars. i was a little scared of doing it but went on the web to search for videos of how to do it. i had cleaned it before but only cleaned the sides and not the small opening that has the sensors...... i used brake cleaner and found a layer of dust inside that tiny opening.... wearing gloves to prevent damage from the oil on my hands i sprayed and used q-tips and allowed to dry for 20 minutes..... when i started the engine, i was surprice to see a difference on how smoother and responsive the engine performed.. i would say that this is a very important part to keep clean.
