problem #3

Xterra 4WD 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 42,000 miles
I own a Nissan Xterra 2004 it was in park and rolled by itself from flat to down a drive hitting a moving car then going down a cliff into a tree. No one at Nissan or allstate can explain why it rolled! Nissan blew me off saying it can happen what concerns me is that if it could just roll like that why did the air bags deploy" there explanation well--- it was in park! so how can if it is in park no keys can it roll forward then down???"

On May 9,2007 I shifted the 2004 Nissan Xterra from P ark to reverse and the vehicle accelerated forward 10 feet. I had my foot on the brake pedal, but the vehicle did not stop until it hit a retaining wall.

  • Automatic transmission

The automatic transmission shift is very wobbly, and there is a squeaky sound coming from the floor on the right side of the vehicle. It was taken to the dealer on six occasions, but nothing was resolved.
