“3 time problem with the high pressure line in my 2000 Nissan Xterra. Got a copy of the Nissan 5 year repair history for the vehicle, and found out that at 22,3?? The line had to be replaced. It has now failed a third time and because it is out of warranty Nissan said they will not fix it for me. Clearly this is a faulty part to begin with and I should not have to be charged for its third failure.”

NHTSA complaint #10008246, filed 2003-02, 75,000 miles“The step boards of the 2000 Nissan Xterra are corroding. I have been the only owner of the vehicle and there has been no damage or unusual usage of the step boards that would have casued the corrosion. Otherwise, the vehicle, both mechnaically and body, is in excellent shape. I have taken the vehicle to two body shops and both agree the step boards need to be replaced and cannot be repaired. Estimates for new step boards and installation range from $500 to $670. The service manager at my local Nissan dealer indicates the step boards are supposed to be very durable and should not have corroded. …”

I know that the alarm works because I set it myself reached through the window and tried to unlock the door and the alarm went off.
