problem #1

Mar 142007

Xterra 4WD 6-cyl

  • Manual transmission
  • 17,243 miles
Failure of 4 wheel drive power train due to failure of ABS sensor. This a dedicated off road vehicle with off road package installed by factory. The ABS system should not trump the 4 wheel drive and cause it to not engage. If I was far off road and 4 wheel drive system failed, I could be subject to serious injury or possibly death due to adverse weather conditions as I would have to walk and get help in prevailing weather conditions.
