Nissan X-Trail Questions & Answers (page 2 of 14)

get a service & the engine light will go out. The cars computer is telling you hey theres something wrong take me for service & get me checked out. X trails Needs to be serviced every 10 thousand kilometers leave it too long after that & the engine light comes on, ignore the engine light then it goes into limp mode & makes you get it serviced

No squeak but my air con has been poor since day one. Had unit checked at the workshop and no issues - just always struggles to cool in higher heat.

what year is it?? any Xtrails after 2014 are problems the earlier models are better.The squeak in the front wheels is the ball joints or sway bar bushes common problem with the later model Xtrails same as the air conditioner another common problem with later model xtrails Nissan knows about it but says there is not an issue.

common problem with the compressor in the later model xtrails

(xtrail t32) I had same problem, took it to nissan service station, they only cleaned and bla bla bla... then I took the liberty to check the refrigerant by pressure (not by weight as they recommended). turned out, need more gas. I filled it up to the minimum requirement to be cautious. it's been 10 months now and the aircon still good.

I am not a mechanic but if you google the XTrail forum there is plenty of info there to read about this and other issues.

if the engine light is coming on it needs a tune up and new filters go and get it serviced

when Then engine flickers it is telling you there is something wrong. Dirty filters dirty /worn spark plugs, coils go & get a service

wheel bearings or shocks

I've had similar problems.. front shocks seem to squeak everytime I drive over a speed hump at low speed. Probably there at higher speeds but cant hear it. Been to the dealership many times b4 it ran out of warranty still not fixed, and now the aircon isn't working. For such a lovely well equipped car its disappointing!!!

me same problem with my xtrail t32.... sigh....

Your only getting the problem because Nissan has no idea what they are doing they "fix" 1 thing & fu*k another then "fix" that problem and so on Knowing Nissan they have probably deactivated the anti skid & . its showing a solid light because Its NOT working. If the system is deactivated it WONT show up on their diagnostic system. If they changed the brakes & drums that more than likely has something to do with it. & they probably also stuffed around with wiring when they were "fixing" the air bag the apprentices do the work & they are not supervised. Its not a common problem with Xtrails the problem is caused by Nissan themselves. By the way they shouldnt need a code to fix it. Have you checked all the fuses & relays?

typical Nissan They havent got a clue nissans are good cars If you dont let nissan service them Its nissan who creates the problems in the 1st place. they dont know what they did to create the problem & cant fix it.

is it diesel or petrol or turbo?

Its just a petrol model

We took it to the dealership they rang Nissan..its the speedometer some bushes wearing out making the speedometer needle make the noise we have to pay $800 and Nissan will pay the rest got quoted $2,000 to fix . They are going to fix it on their good will .. we got a phone call yesterday

no its not a common problem it only happens when you go trough dich driving a FWD

Thanks John. Not sure abt. Car history how it's used as I just bought the car. I didn't realise on test drive but been to suspension specialist and he recommended for front shock change.

worn motor get a new motor or sell it

Lot of kilometers for a petrol engine you need a new engine

Write a letter or complaint direct to the dealer principle and cc in the sales manager, explain your situation. Im sure theyll come to a reasonable outcome considering.

Thank you for your suggestion. I'm meeting with them next week. I'd like to know if this was an isolated incident or a known problem, before this. Having had Nissans for nearly 20 years, I am forever hopeful.

My company purchased a new 2.5L petrol auto Xtrail in 2012. The AC was hopeless from new and I complained at first service, but was told it was normal. The AC stopped blowing cold air after 3 years, so we only use the vehicle in winter months now. Fast forward to today, (2019) and I've just been informed the cause is a blocked pipe (manufacturing fault) and $3000 to fix. It's out of warranty and Nissan Australia Support are rejecting to fix under warranty. I hate being dudded. My company operates with many vehicles, no more Nissans from hereon!

I had the same problem with 2016 xtrail turned out to be a vacuum leak in the compressor Nissan didnt have a clue i took it to the local mechanic & he picked it up within 5 mins. & fixed it within an hour.

Thank you Ill look into it. Nissan have estimated $2k in diagnosis fees and $8-10k in repairs if it is the turbo.

nissan will rip you off because they havent got a clue

no

You looking to use an xtrail as a kidnap mobile?

I'm camping in my car and finding it very difficult to get out the rear door. Just curious if it's possible to exit via the tailgate. But I think it's just electronic and not mechanical unfortunately.

who knows it could be anything take it to a mechanic & have it checked out

Yes.
There are three anchor points at the boot/behind the rear seats.
