More fun with Nissan...


So after all the fun I've had in the past 3 years with Nissan, I happened to Google my car's model to see if there were any recall notices on it....Hmmm...I thought that if they had those, then the company was obligated to inform you, right? Nope...Turns out there are two on my car. Problem #1 is that water can get into the rear axle housing, causing corrosion and this might cause the axle assembly to SEPARATE FROM THE CAR while driving (!!!!???!!!)...Isn't it comforting to know Nissan is on top of safety issues like this! :-) Problem #2 is that (again) water can get into the pump terminal on the fuel-sending unit, causing an abrupt stop in fuel delivery to the engine, causing the engine to FAIL WHILE DRIVING, possibly causing an accident (this is straight off the NHTSA website!!!)....Hmmm..Anyone thinking about buying a Nissan (particularly Xterra) out there?? I'd recommend going with the Volvo instead! :-)
