2005 Nissan X-Trail XE review from North America
"Very disappointed"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Bought the car in January 2009 second hand. It is a 2005 X Trail, approx 65,000 kms and have had nothing but problems.
After one week... rear differential went.
Hardly starts in the winter. All the locks freeze and can't get it unlocked.
Drivers window is very slow going up and down.
My most recent issue is that sometimes it won't start. It has nothing to do with it being cold or hot, it just won't start. It is almost as though after it is started about 50 times, on the 51st time, it won't go. It makes a weird ticking/turn over noise. You have to try it 3 times, and hold it on and it will start. Very annoying and nobody knows what it is.
General comments?
Love the drive and 4x4.
