problem #2

Xterra 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 130,850 miles
The thermostat and fan clutch in the cooling system of the vehicle has failed 3 times in the years I have owned my Nissan. The engine will rise in temperature and because of the fan clutch and thermostat failure, the engine temperature rises to unsafe levels.
