2004 Nissan X-Trail review from France
"Worrying reliability issues"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My turbo started to whine after 20,000km, the dealer (in France) pointed the problem out to me during a routine service, they replaced it (and the ECU) on warranty and provided me with a hire car free of charge.
At 30,000km an oil leak from the intercooler caught fire on the turbo, a minor fire occurred. Again the dealer replaced the part (a 30 minute) job. He didn't need to look under the bonnet to tell me what caused the fire.
General comments?
I like the car, I am worried about the long term reliability. Will probably sell before the 3yr warranty is up.
