Common 2007 Nissan Xterra problems
The Nissan Xterra 2007 is known for several common problems, primarily related to the coolant leaking into the transmission system, fuel level sensor issues, and radiator leaks.
- Defective Fuel Level Sensor: Many Xterra owners have reported inaccurate fuel gauge readings due to a failing fuel level sensor. This issue is common among many 2001-2011 Nissan Xterra vehicles. The automaker has recalled specific 2006-2008 Xterra units to resolve this fuel gauge problem. This typically leads to engine stalling, which increases the risk of road accidents.
- Radiator Leaks: Radiator leaks have been reported by owners of many 2005 Nissan Xterras. According to the drivers of affected vehicles, the leaks may persist even after screwing on their SUV’s radiator cap tightly. If this problem is detected early, you may only need to repair the lower intake manifold to solve the issue. However, radiator leaks that aren’t addressed immediately may cause engine overheating and eventually lead to transmission failure.
- Transmission Failure: Transmission failure is another top problem for many units belonging to the 2005 model year. This is usually a result of a radiator leak. When engine coolant mixes with the transmission fluid, it creates a milkshake-like discolored mixture. The combined fluids speed up corrosion in the transmission, causing it to slip or overheat. Replacing your transmission is complex and costly, so it’s best to keep an eye out for radiator leaks to avoid this issue.
- Shuddering/Vibrations: Another problem that affected the 2007 Xterra is the shuddering or vibrations as the vehicle accelerates. The problem becomes noticeable at 40+ mph and may cost $2,700+ to repair.
In summary, the Nissan Xterra 2007 has several common problems, primarily related to the coolant leaking into the transmission system, fuel level sensor issues, and radiator leaks. These issues can result in significant repair costs and should be carefully considered when purchasing a used 2007 Xterra.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2018-05-25
- VIN: 5n1an08u47c
- Components: FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
- Summary: Aprox. three years ago, I reported a problem with the fuel gauge not giving true readings. After taking the car to be tested, I was advised that the sending unit was faulty, and the mechanic believed that there was a recall on the matter (he had heard of many people having the same problem). After doing online research, I came across hundreds, if not thousands of Xterra owners reporting the same problem. I called Nissan, and I was advised that there were no recalls on this matter. That does not make sense, for it seems obvious, based on my research, that this--among other common problems (such as the Airbag light coming on)--are very prevalent, and seem to be due to a manufacturing/design problem.

Your Xtera is a real trooper! Despite being hit three times by distracted drivers, it barely suffered any damage. Unfortunately, the other cars involved didn't fare as well. It's always important to stay focused on the road to avoid accidents. Take care out there!

We recently replaced our 2-year-old Sante Fe with an all decked out Xterra. We got a lot of car for our money, paying only $26500. The Xterra has lots of power, a good turning radius, and great brakes. Surprisingly, the ride is not as bad as we thought it would be and it is GREAT IN THE SNOW. As a family with 2 kids and 2 big dogs, this SUV was made for us. It has so many useful features, including a roof bin that we even used for my daughter's soccer cleats after practice. The gas mileage is on par with the Santa Fe it replaced, which is impressive considering the Xterra has 60 more horsepower. We highly recommend this SUV and encourage you to consider it for your family's needs.

The advertised fuel efficiency for this vehicle is 18 city/21hwy, but I have found that my own vehicle has never exceeded 17mpg regardless of how I drive. Before purchasing my X, I test drove a Tacoma, but ultimately chose the X because of its 6-speed transmission and full-size truck feel. While it may not have the same luxurious features as other trucks, it certainly has a lot of power. I have found that when driving on the highway, shifting into 3rd gear allows me to easily pass other vehicles. I purchased this vehicle specifically to transport my mastiffs to shows, and it has proven to be a great fit with plenty of room and height for them. I recommend using a rubber mat to prevent your dogs from slipping on the plastic. The only time I have found the vehicle to struggle with power is when driving up hills in 6th gear while hauling dogs or people, but shifting down to 5th gear quickly resolves this issue.

This is a great truck. I recently traded in my Chevy Trailblazer for it. Although I don't do much off-roading, I appreciate the versatility and occasional towing capabilities that come with owning a truck. As a self-proclaimed truck guy, I find the get-up-and-go to be fantastic and the gas mileage to be good. The previous owner had upgraded to a touchscreen Pioneer Navi/Stereo/Bluetooth & a Viper alarm w/ remote start, which I find both fun and functional. I never thought I needed a navi before, but now I can't imagine owning a car without one! The only downside is that the armrest is too low and too small, but overall, I am extremely happy with this great truck.

We have been using this vehicle heavily off-road and it has been a great performer. With 27K miles on it, we have not encountered any problems so far. We have taken it over some really horrible roads and it has taken everything in stride, keeping up with Jeep Rubicons and all other vehicles. My wife and I love it, and it is a pleasure to drive both on and off the road. We plan to keep it until it dies. We did beef up the suspension as it was weak stock, adding a leaf in the rear and a 2 1/2 inch leveling kit in the front, which helped a lot. I highly recommend this vehicle, especially with the upgraded suspension. We destroyed 2 of the stock BFG Rugged Trails tires, so we replaced all of them with BFG All Terrain AT KO's, which work great!

Other years of Nissan Xterra
Are you having problems with your 2007 Nissan Xterra?
Leland Gislason 2024-10-11
The clutch failed at 16k and unfortunately, Nissan refused to cover it under warranty. However, I have over 40 years of experience driving manual transmissions, including the 2001 Xterra, 2003 Xterra, and 2007 Xterra, and I can confidently say that I did not cause the issue. After researching this problem, I found that many other Xterra owners have reported similar clutch failures. Interestingly, a dealer representative let slip that the drivetrain may not be able to accommodate increased power, which could indicate a design defect. Based on this evidence, I am confident that the issue is not due to my driving and is instead a result of a design flaw in the Xterra's drivetrain.
Marty Mueller 2024-09-09
I would definitely buy another Nissan! My Xterra has over 160,000 miles and I haven't had a single issue with it.

We purchased our Xterra used with 161K miles, but were told it was a reliable vehicle. Unfortunately, within 2 days of bringing it home, the Service Engine Light came on. I initially thought it was a gas cap sensor issue, but it turned out to be something more serious. We have had to take it back to the dealership 3 times already. The first time, they simply reset the SEL as it came up as a random misfire. However, the light came back on within 60 hours of us bringing it home, even though we hadn't driven it much. We took it back in and they replaced one coil pack, but 48 hours later, the SEL was on AGAIN. A friend plugged it in and the code read 'Random: Multiple Cylinder Misfire'. I'm concerned about the reliability of this vehicle, especially since I only drive it 10 miles a day and have put more miles on it taking it to and from the dealership (36 miles one way) than I have driving it myself. It's an old vehicle with a lot of miles, but I really like it and only drive a few miles a day. With winter coming, I'm not sure whether to keep it or let it go back. What do you think?

Although the sound system was impressive, I was disappointed with the vehicle's performance. The suspension bottoms out on almost every bump, making it unsuitable for city driving. Additionally, the brakes require excessive force to stop the vehicle. As an owner of the 'OFFROAD' model, I expected more versatility from this Nissan. Overall, I found the vehicle to be lacking in the heavy-duty capabilities that were advertised. Despite having it checked for problems, none were found.

I purchased my Xterra as a dealer demo. While I have had a great deal of fun taking it off-road, I have experienced some nagging issues with the vehicle when driving it mostly on-road. After doing a bit of digging, I found that these issues are quite common in the Nissan line, such as fuel sensors and emissions problems. Additionally, brakes wear out quickly and there are numerous rattles and squeaks. If you are in warranty, most of these issues are a non-issue, but out of warranty, they can be pricey. Unfortunately, my experience with Nissan's warranty assistance was one of the worst experiences ever.
