2001 Nissan Xterra engine complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 17 of 17, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Since the vehicle was purchased brand new from nissan, hot air from the engine constantly pours through the ventilation system and into the cabin area, even when the air is turned off.
(1) normal vehicle operation, no special circumstances LED to failure. (2) the right cylinder bank exhaust manifold failed which allowed exhaust gases to be present under the hood and drawn into the passenger compartment by the heat and air conditioning system of the vehicle. (3) the right cylinder bank exhaust manifold was replaced. The old part is unavailable due to this repair being covered by a vehicle service contract and the old part was retained by the dealer performing the repair.
Passengar exhuast manifold cracked. Being replaced under extended warranty but as far as I can tell this seems to happen on 10-25% of xterra's and has not been addressed by nissan. Can possibly lead to exhaust entering the cabin if not detected. This is a variant of the engine that was used in older pathfinder models that suffered from this problem. Nissan is aware of the problem and at a minimum advise the public on it so that they are aware of possible exhaust entering the cabin.
Exhaust manifold bolts break on nissans vg33e engine, causing dangerious exhaust gas to leak in engine compartment where it could be sucked into in cabin air intake at front of windshield I had 3 broke on the passenger side manifold.
After several visits to nissan for numerous complaints and problems the 36,000 mile warranty had expired in the middle of fixing them. There has been a noise that they claimed first was the knock sensor, they replaced that, and now they believe it is the exhaust manifold however if it is just the gaskets they want $400.00 to replace or if it is cracked which they can't tell me for sure it's covered under the 60,000 warranty. The most upsetting thing is this problem existed before warranty expiration and they still have not fixed it.
When consumer drives up a hill engine will stall. Consumer has called dealer, and dealer has not called back yet.*ak transmission failed. The speedometer goes back and forth. Check engine light comes on due to canister leak, dealer replaced canister and valve assembly.
