2002 Nissan X-Terra review from North America
"I definitely am not an SUV person if this vehicle is what represents the SUV's of today"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car windows have stuck from the day I picked it up and still stick to this day. Yes, I took it in to get fixed, they assured me that it was, and alas, we still have the sticking window problem.
The air conditioning is the worst I have ever encountered in a vehicle. Even the Ford Escort that I owned was better than my Xterra.
At 42,000, my power steering gearbox went out; a $1,757 part, not including labor. I am still waiting to hear if it falls under "covered by warranty" in order to get it fixed.
Also, a rattle has suddenly started when I use the heat or air conditioning.
General comments?
Gas mileage is absolutely atrocious. I have friends with much larger SUV's that get better gas mileage than I do.
