Had to replace the fuel sensor in the gas tank, which required removing the tank. The truck drove fine, but there was a CEL and the gas level reading was not accurate. |

Kamaaina Nissan said the TPMS sensor in one tire was bad and needed to be replaced (but the other three were good), so I paid the $200 to do that. The problem was not fixed, and they again said that one TMPS sensor was bad and the other three were good. I declined to pay $200 a second time because they had lost their credibility. |
| 83000 mi US $316 |
Starter was failing. Replaced starter. |
| 85000 mi US $1100 |
BCU replaced, keys re-programmed |

The positive terminal had failed and required replacement. |

| 5000 mi | 105lb occupant does not activate front passenger airbag. Nissan and NHTSA say that's acceptable. I love the Xterra, but wife's safety is paramount. Consequently, this is the last Nissan I buy in this lifetime. |
| 11000 mi | Faulty passenger door actuator prevented opening of door. Repaired under warranty. |
| 253000 mi US $1100 |
Driver side power window motor replaced. |

All gauges went dead. Shop can't figure out what's wrong with the Xterra. Still at the shop. Will likely just donate to charity since repair is not yet successful |
| 85000 mi US $550 |
Faulty Fuel Sending Unit (FSU) Eventually covered under recall. Many, many calls to Nissan to convince them to cover. Eventually did prior to recall but wasn't easy getting repair covered AND had to pay upfront and mail receipts paperwork |
| 81840 mi C $98 |
Blower motor stopped working. Problem was the heater resistor. Some time spent for research on possible cause. Purchased from dealer - sent by freight (no dealership in my town) and installed myself. |
