“Nissan xterras are on recall in northern states due to snow and salt affecting the front crash sensor. I bought my Nissan intexas but work for the army and live in germany where there is plenty of ice and snow. Nissan said because I bought my car in texas, it isn't covered under the recall. They need to recall all vehicles with this safety flaw.”

Replaced a fuse for the transmission control module and was able to start the vehicle but it blew the fuse. Had my vehicle towed to our mechanic and he discovered discovered that the coolant mixed with transmission fluid and now I have to replace everything involved. …”
