#5 of 65 Clutch fails at 16K nissan won't cover it under warranty by ridingdirty Apr 28, 2008 (12:15 pm)
I have been driving manual trans. for over 35 years, including 2001 and 2003 Xterra. the 2007 I purchased has a clutch failure at only 16k.   no city driving,   no hauling,   over 10 years experience driving xterra manual trans.   over 35 years experience driving manual trans   and nissan wont pay for new clutch -- not even a dime!!!   needless to say, i will never buy a nissan again.

Replying to: marcogallo1986 (Apr 29, 2008 6:54 pm) Please let us know when you find something on this Marco. I've been lucky so far with my '06 Frontier 6-Speed at 13,500 Miles and have had no troubles. But, I've read on some Frontier forums that owners have had the same sort of clutch failures despite conservative driving. Replies to this message: marcogallo1986 (May 19, 2008 6:09 pm)

Replying to: greg62 (Jan 15, 2008 6:35 pm) I also have a 2006 Xtera and the clutch went at 35,000 km. My Ford Explorer clutch lasted 220,000 km so I wasn't expecting to replace the clutch this early. Today at 40,000 km, I was told I need $750 in brake work. I called Nissan Canada today and they said if there are enough complaints, they will do a recall.
#10 of 65 Premature clutch failure on 2006 Nissan Xterra by pietroant Nov 12, 2008 (3:53 pm)
My clutch failed at 23,000 miles. I recently had it repaired at my expense since it is considered a wearable part and not covered under warranty. I am having a hard time believing this part failed due to my driving behavior. I travel mostly over flat lands, do not down shift to slow the vehicle, do not hawl loads. The car has not been abused.....Nonetheless I've driven 2 different makes also manual transmission for a total of 15 years before the Nissan and never had a clutch failure.Sounds shockingly similar to your experiences. There is a trend here that Nissan must address. I hope all have voiced their concerns to the Nissan Consumer Affairs thru Nissan Official site under the contact us tab. I suppose this is the right place to start.
#11 of 65 2006Xterra clutch by tasin Nov 17, 2008 (3:18 am)
Ok - 2nd clutch at 43,000. This obviously is a design flaw. Have been driving standard transmissions for about 40 years and did not believe this was happening. My dealer was great on the first incident and replaced at no cost. 2nd just occurred this weekend so will see what happens, but afraid this car is going to have to go. I do a lot of cross country driving and cannot have this happen in middle of nowhere. This really should be a recall issue Replies to this message: Just_Peachy (Jan 15, 2009 11:12 am)

Replying to: tasin (Nov 17, 2008 3:18 am) ...mmmm it would appear I am not alone. I learned today that my clutch is worn out at 31,000 km. I am also a manual diehard (30 years). A significant chunk of this distance was long distance in Canada - so not a lot of gear changes. This travel is well documented. Lets hope Nissan will come clean. I am in the process of talking with Nissan... I will continue to post.
#14 of 65 2007 Xterra clutch by Bob6226 Jan 20, 2009 (4:51 am)
I have 2007 Nissan Xterra with 22000 miles and am in the process of having the second clutch put in. The first one wore out at 8000 miles. The dealership is now in the process of replacing and will let me know what they find after they take it apart. I have not been given any encouragement that they would find anything other than driver issues. This is a two wheel drive Xterra no off roading. I cannot afford to be replacing clutches every 8-12,000 miles. Any ideas?
