2005 Nissan X-Terra S review from North America
"Hunk of junk"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
We have had to get the brake pads replaced. We complained about the brakes squealing since day one and they kept saying it was because it was a new vehicle, now when the 12 month warranty on the brakes is up, they needed replacing.
The belt pulley has been replaced. We took it in because it was squealing a little. When we left it was worse and we had to wait a week for parts.
We had to replace the wiring harness (recall).
The bushings on the front sway bar are cracked and squeaking. They have to be replaced (waiting again for parts).
General comments?
The Xterra has throttle response, and lots of power.
Isn't very practical for throwing kids in the back seat.
Service @ Nissan is awful. The last oil change I received they ran into a pole while washing it, they never have parts in stock, and are rude.
I will never buy another Nissan product again!!!
