2000 Nissan Xterra Suv Left Front Side View

Pre-Owned: 2000-2001 Nissan Xterra

Problems were few for the Xterra: Early-build vehicles were recalled for faulty wheels that could develop stress cracks, and some automatic transmissions needed their shift-cable lock plates replaced due to possible breakage, leaving the PRNDL indicator out of sync with actual gear selection. Some later vehicles had faulty fuel-tank inlet shutter valves and ABS sensors that weren't properly sealed, which could increase the chance of wheel-bearing corrosion.

As many Xterra owners were likely to opt for some occasional soft-roading on the weekends, be sure to check for proper alignments, secure ball joints, and perform a general underbelly inspection for possible damage due to nearsighted spotters. With that stated, the Xterra is a tough SUV and a good preowned bargain for anyone looking to go deeper into the backcountry--or at least look like you can.
