The forums list the problems. Exlpoding front and rear drivetrain differentials and malfunctioning vehicle dynamic control and slip warnings.
There is a 100+ post thread on the exploding diffferentials alone and even a youtube video showing it happen. Nissan Please Wake up and fix this.
Review:
So far my ride is great. I have not done any real 4 wheeling as of yet but will. Gingerly. Of course after I purchased my car I found the Forum websites. For a car
that was marketed to the masses as a capable off road vehicle, most users report weaknesses that should not be weaknesses. I have not yet encountered the problems others
have but it is not encouraging to hear so many similar problems plaguing the Nissan Xterra.
