My estimate (which also includes a new O2 sensor and replacing the caps, rotors and plugs) includes SRT resetting, for $333 parts & labor. I don't think I completely understand this, but as the wrench described to me, there are 5 settings in the onboard computer that indicate the function of the various smog-related parts of the engine, and at least 3 need to be set properly or the car automatically fails regardless of the quality of the exhaust output; these switches turn off (from what I don't know) and are apparently there to prevent manipulation of the computer.
So to make a long question short, what are these SRT settings? Why do they switch off? Is this something I can fix myself?
Thanks,

As far as the durability and finish of the X, been in mine for 6 years (almost 7) and its bulletproof... even the interior has held up quite well considering the amount of junk, construction materials and 2 dogs. There was some issue with the seat rattle you mention, but at this time I can't remember what the fix was.

and the air fillter on the car? :lemon:
never had automatic transmission, this is my 5th car, can't believe this.
now trying to deal with nissan directly to have extension of warranty to the clutch. has anyone tried, does it work?
I did notice that it only happens in the winter and when the vehicle is cold. If I put it in the garage overnight, it won't happen.
Many thanks.
I bought my X with 60K i have added close to 60K in 2 years and the only repair I have made is 2 new leaf springs/shocks in the rear...not even a break job. So I couldn't be happier with the way my X has held up mechanically. The interior however has had the following problems:
-AC stopped working (recharging makes it work for about an hour.
-both front seats no longer slide back/forward!!!!
-first 2 settings on the climate control knob don't work (so heat is always blowing hard on 3 and 4)
-rear wiper works, fluid does not
-rear windows slowly dieing
- E brake doesn't stop it from rolling ever... even in a level parking lot. (only other mechanical problem). Had the cable tightened but it worked for a few days and then stopped again. Even when it did, the break would stick and my X didn't roll very well.
If anyone has experienced these problems, PLEASE let me know how you fixed them!!!!!!
-AC stopped working (recharging makes it work for about an hour.
>Sounds like a leak, dealer has to check hoses.
-both front seats no longer slide back/forward!!!!
>check for change and other small items in the track, look deep, it might not be obvious.
-first 2 settings on the climate control knob don't work (so heat is always blowing hard on 3 and 4)
>the resistor is burnt out, cheap DYI, its behind the glovebox
-rear windows slowly dieing
>Yet anohter resistor, but a recal it out on tis one
- E brake doesn't stop it from rolling ever... even in a level parking lot. (only other mechanical problem). Had the cable tightened but it worked for a few days and then stopped again. Even when it did, the break would stick and my X didn't roll very well.
> they have to removs the rear drum and super grease the pivot point to the cable, tightening/adjusting is a short lived patch as you noticed
They're probably quoting to do the rears as well, because they don't know if they'll need anything to replace until they take the wheels off.
When starting and driving my auto trans X after being parked a while, once you hit 15 miles an hour (seems to be shifting gears at this point)there is a clunk in the engine. Only happens once after it's been parked. Dealer svc has greased and lubed everything and tightened a Uclamp and everything else they can find and it STILL happens. Any ideas of what is causing and more importantly- how can it be fixed?
Thanks so much! RBinCT
I've already given the guys on the corner $168 to charge it, and the dealer $260 to diagnose it, change the oil, and for the hose. So were almost at $400 and we still aren't fixed.
My friend came by and put the sniffer on the system and couldn't find any leaks. We took the black light and found some dye around the high pressure hose compression fitting but couldn't see any drips or see and feel any evidence of oil around the suspected leak. Almost as though someone smeared dye around the fitting and said, ooops! there's the leak...right there! This whole thing is wearing on my patience. The a/c will never work right until the fan starts turning. Seems to me the dealer boys are too lazy to get out the book and trace the problem back or call their tech support and get some help. As soon as I can find a vehicle that I like better that suits my needs I will trade it in and buy something other than a Nissan. But, in the mean time I need to get this issue fixed. Has any one had problems with the fan. If you found the fix I'd like to hear from you!
This is the first post for me as I just joined this forum. I have 2006 Xterra 1ith 11484 miles on it and it just started making rattling sound that seems to be coming through glove compartment. I removed all loose objects from my car and after I drive for 20min the rattle sound seems to be coming from glove comportment or somewhere around that area! I tried my best to focus while driving to see where the noise is coming from but could not find the exact location. I took it to dealer today and they said it might be due to hot temperature outside, they put some insulation around AC cables, speaker lines but the problem still persists. It is intermittant now but Ican still hear rattle sound. I will be taking it to the dealer again tomorrow but if anyone had this problem before could you please share information with me?
Thanks.

thanks!
I had rattling on my passenger side window. The dealer just had to adjust something in the power window mechanism. Just have the mechanic test drive it so he can hear the sound. It's all under warranty. Is the rattling sound behind the glove box a squeak or a rattle. I had some squeaking issues but not rattling issues.
