Does anybody have metallic rattling sounds from the rear end and a certain crunchy/scratchy sound from the rear right wheel every time one gets in and out of the vehicle (Nissan X Trail 2008)
This is for the 23/May/08 comment:
I am glad to hear that you and your wife are interested in the XTRAIL. You won't be disappointed. I have put over 30,000km on mine, since September/07. There is not a problem. As for fuel mileage, the XTRAIL will get the suggested 26/35 mpg city/highway. Making sure that your spark plugs are good, the air filter is clean/unobstructed, have your throttle body cleaned out as well, properly inflated tires, less "lead footed driving", and the proper octane (87) fuel will lead to excellent fuel mileage.
As for the comparison to Toyota and Honda, although they are very respected automakers, the XTRAIL outperformed them in many categories. If the XTRAIL was introduced, in Canada, at the same time as Toyota and Honda introduced their respected compact SUVs, then the XTRAIL would still be here. Honestly, 2 years, for the XTRAIL, was too short and didn't give it a chance.
Hopefully you and your wife can find 1. If you live in Canada, try autotrader.ca and maybe you can find 1 in there. Good luck.
