“The low on air tire light is on all the time. I turn on the vehicle and the low air tire light flashes. After driving for awhile, the light goes solid. I was told by my tire installers that it wasn't the tire sensors that were bad, it was the main controller that is bad.”
NHTSA complaint #10588894, filed 2014-05, 125,000 miles“I noticed the tire pressure light was constantly staying on when my odometer reached approx. 28,000 miles, but was unsure of the reason. So I took my 2006 Xterra to the dealership and their service department plugged something into the port underneath the driver-side dash. The light would go out for about an hour or so before immediately turning back on. This continued a few more times until the 36k mile warranty was no longer effective. I did not return to the dealership anymore after this. …”
NHTSA complaint #10392378, filed 2011-03, 28,000 miles“I purchased this Xterra in may of 2006. In the past 8 weeks I have had to have my 06 Nissan Xterra towed to the dealer six times for the same issue of not starting. The first time I was told I was out of gas. Since then, I've been told the security module had gone bad, I had corrosion on the battery terminal causing it to go in to stolen mode, the fuel pump had gone bad (replaced twice), and the wiring harness to the fuel pump had a short in it (replaced twice). …”
NHTSA complaint #10252143, filed 2008-12, 58,600 miles“Regularly getting faulty tire pressure readings on my 2006 Xterra for over a year now (in cold and warm weather, long and short trips). At first, light would flash intermittently, and then stay on for long period until tire was inflated, particularly left front tire. Took it to the dealership several times, but they couldn't tell me what was wrong. On one occasion, I did have nail in the tire, which was repaired. However, for several months now, the light has come on and off and when I check the pressure, all tires were correctly inflated. …”
