Takata recall radiator leaked water into the transmission and I now I need completely new transmission and radiator. This is a common issue with nissans and I am outside of the mileage and warranty. I was driving on a city street and the rpms started racing but the car was not accelerating. Had to tow it in to the mechanics. My check engine light is also on and the code is for the catalytic converter.

While driving my "check engine soon" light appear, today I took it to a nissan dealership to get a diagnostic to fix it. To make short the transmission and radiator needs replacement ($4,600.00 dlls)because there's antifreeze in the transmission fluid. Online I found out that this problem is common to 2006 xterras, funny thing is nissan know all about it, but so far hasn't call a recall to fix their own mess. Another thing, I've got serviced my vehicle at to nissan dealership s and never ever make a simple comment or advised about this problem with the radiator to me on my prior visits. It seems to me that they are reckless for holding critical info about preventable issues, specially since this is a design flaw on their part

I am a 64 yr old woman driving across the country alone when my fuel gauge indicated I have gas when I did not. Luckily I was not in traffic. This is a dangerous situation when in the remote areas that I travel in utah where gas stations can be 100 miles apart and no cell coverage. I had only 67365 miles on the vehicle and didnt expect to have problems. I found that 2006 xterras were recalled for those made in a 3 month period, however my vehicle is 2 months prior to their voluntary recall. Same gas tank and sending unit as those recalled. (campaign id #: pc042 the federal safety agency #: 10v‑075) I am guessing nissan did a partial voluntary recall in hopes the federal safety agency wouldnt investigate the issue. Now the fuel gauge shows half a tank just after a fillup and then gradually jumps to full after the vehicle sits or is driven for a bit. The engine light stays on unless cleared. Diagnostic scan was done which indicated code p0463 which is defined as a fuel level sensor sensor high circuit input,

While driving on the highway the transmission failed. No warning, just check engine light and the transmission wouldn't go above 30 miles per hour without cutting off the car completely. Had to be towed. After troubleshooting problem the radiator on transmission failed. Come issue for this vehicle, just as noted in the safety recall a few years ago but nissan is no longer supporting their customers for this safety issue. Well, after $3700, my transmission is rebuilt with new radiator. Nissan should have covered this safety issue.. I was in traffic on a highway and the transmission failed, it was very stressful and unsafe for me to change lanes and pull over on a highway that has a 70 MPH limit and I was in the middle lane. Even though I put my flasher on traffic was very heavy and it was truly unsafe for not only myself but my passengers and those cars behind me that had to suddenly slow down because of my mechanical transmission failure.
