261-horsepower 4.0L V6 6-speed manual 4WD, part-time w/low range
| 43000 mi US $2000 |
The clutch wore out at 44K miles. I'm a very careful and gentle driver and have driven manual transmission cars for over 50 years. I believe that this clutch is poorly designed and not rugged enough for a vehicle with as much mass as the Xterra has. Also discovered cracked exhaust manifold. |

Oil leak detection. Due to Krown underbody spray leak could not be detected. Dye added to engine oil. Have to drive 1-2000 km then return to dealer to find leak. |

Faulty crankshaft position sensor was causing intermittent stalling and loss of power. Sensor replaced and problem has been resolved, with a moderate improvement in MPG. |
| 49000 mi US $50 |
Heater was not blowing hot air unless the engine was running at a higher RPM (2,500+) or while going uphill. The heater core had air in it. This was resolved by bleeding the cooling system to get the air out. |
