Car failed to start after being parked overnight. Would crank but not start. Had it diagnosed and the fuel sending unit replaced. The dead unit had a hole through it's plastic which showed a corroded electrical tab. It doesn't look like corrosion from a crack in the plastic as stated in campaign# 04v230000, but more like the electrical connection melted through the plastic, which then allowed corrosion. nissan hotline told me that the previous owner had the recall taken care of already, but couldn't say if the unit was repaired or replaced.

I just purchased this car about 3 months ago and paid 4000 dollars for it. The vehicle stopped working and the fuel pump wasn't coming on. After searching for the power issue I discovered the fuel tank sending unit which IS the top to the gas tank itself. Meaning the service hole of the tank access IS the top part of the sending unit. The sending unit has 4 fuel line connections and 4 electrical connections. Two fuel conections and 2 electrical connections plug into the top side of the sending unit and they route through the plastic molded sending unit and connections are made in the bottom side. Basically fuel and electricity route through this unit into the tank. The power wire to the fuel pump burned and melted the conection inside the mold and burned the plastic all around the connection plug where the power goes to the gas tank. From what I understand the 00' and 02' sending units were recalled but not my 01'. This IS the equivalent to riding down the road with a ticking time bomb under my children's seats. I have contacted nissan but I have gotten nowhere with them so I am reaching out to the transportation saftey authorities. *tr

While driving on the mass turnpike, the front wheel came off the car. This IS the second time. First time, in 2013, in school parking lot, different side but also a front wheel. we bought the car used from a nissan dealership in august 2012 for my 19 year old son. the car IS hardly driven as he IS away in college. this car has been serviced several times for various other things and two different front wheels just coming off can not be a matter of loose lug nuts and incompetence on the part of the repair shop. I feel that something must be fundamentally wrong or faulty. I see that there were recalls years ago having to do with ball joints in this model, I can not tell from carfax reports whether this vin was ever serviced for that, and that nissan never should have resold this car without checking to see - despite the fact that this IS an older car. a wheel coming off IS dangerous, especially while driving at highway speeds. my son could have been killed (luckily no one was hurt). I am trying to find out whether this car was ever checked for the recall on ball joints in 2003 or ever. Doesn't the dealership have any obligation to check safety recalls before reselling cars that could be dangerous to drive? I feel that we were sold a used car that was fundamentally not safe. two different wheels fall off within 2 years of purchase - something doesn't seem legitimate here. *tr

I opened case # [xxx] with nissan regarding the failure of all four window regulators in the nissan xterra I purchased from nissan of bourne (ma) in 2000 on martha's vineyard. That IS where the vehicle IS garaged and used and only has 67K miles on it. The windows have been acting up for quite some time (many years) now and the vehicle IS primarily used only in the summer. there was a window regulator warranty extension (pu307) issued on this vehicle and there are numerous online complaints about the problem. Nissan consumer affairs has rejected the claim since it IS beyond the warranty extension period even though I was never notified of the problem since it only applied to "warm weather" states. I'D like to escalate this claim to encourage nissan to pick up the cost of parts as this IS a safety issue should the window get stuck in the up or down position. There are numerous online complaints about this problem. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(B)(6). *tr

Mr. Kent jones of kernersville, nc, submitted a petition to nhtsa by e-mail dated july 1, 2003, requesting nhtsa to investigate the brake rotors on my 2002 nissan xterra vehicles.the petitioner alleged that the brake rotors in these vehicles were defective because the rotors overheat and warp from normal usage.a review of odi's database for complaints regarding my 2001 through my 2003 nissan xterra vehicles identified only two reports related to brake rotor warping; one for a my 2001 and one for a my 2002.the complaint for the my 2002 nissan xterra was reported by the petitioner.brake rotor warping can result in brake pulsation and shaking when the brake IS applied.brake pulsation, tire or suspension vibration, and similar conditions are an obvious annoyance to the driver, but generally do not cause a driver to lose control of a vehicle.furthermore, even if left uncorrected, any potential increase in stopping distance will be negligible. Therefore, this condition does not normally constitute a safety defect, even if it occurs with far more often frequency. In view of the foregoing, it IS unlikely that nhtsa would issue an order for the notification and remedy of an alleged safety-related defect as defined by the petitioner in the my 2002 nissan xterra vehicles at the conclusion of an investigation.therefore, in view of the need to allocate and prioritize nhtsa's limited resources to best accomplish the agency's safety mission, the petition IS denied.
