Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: X-terra stopped while driving on the interstate 4 times in two days. finally had to have it towed to nissan dealer after 5th time it stopped, this time in rush hour traffic. mechanic couldn't find anything wrong even on computer, then on second day decided it was the fuel pump, and replaced it, and then determined that it was not the fuel pump, but a wiring problem that burnt out the fuel sending unit. cost was over $700.00, plus tow bill, and rental car. also manifold is cracked, and was before waranty expired, but dealer where it was bought said that the waranty did not cover it and advised us to have a local mecahnic to fix it because it would be cheaper. have now learned that both fueld sneding unit, and manifold are a problem on many xterras. *ak
