There are no invulnerable cars, no matter what advertising might have us believe. Each mechanism has problems and shortcomings, specific “sores”. A car is a collection of a huge number of mechanisms and everything that spins, rubs, switches, rotates, and comes into contact with the external environment is subject to deformation and is potentially vulnerable. Nissan X-Trail is no exception. To be fair, we note that Lexuses, Porsches, and Mercedes are no less vulnerable and have their own disadvantages, pros and cons.

Until 2009, all Nissans were imported from Japan. After the opening of assembly production at the plant in Shushary near St. Petersburg, the flow of imported cars in the European part of Russia sharply decreased, Nissan supplies local assembly. Supplies from Japan are relevant for Siberia and the Far East, where even right-hand drive versions are often found.

Versions and improvements

When buying a used car, especially one as expensive as the Nissan X-Trail, you need to understand that many components are worn out, and no one will replace expensive parts beyond the necessary pre-sale preparation. Let's look at the Nissan Xtrail pros and cons in order to focus on secondary market.

The weaknesses of the Nissan X-Trail were consistently worked out by designers, engineers and designers. The shortcomings of previous versions are eliminated quite quickly. Only a car cast entirely from titanium and launched into orbit, beyond the atmosphere, can be invulnerable.

Ixtrail has an incredible number of modifications and restylings. Cars Nissan X-Trail T30: 2001, 2003; : 2007, 2010; : 2015 - differ from each other quite significantly. The car of the first wave was progressive for its class, but the interior decoration was frankly simple. Restyling 2003 was carried out according to the requirements of consumers, for whom a line of wishes was specially opened. In 2007, the shortcomings of the control systems were eliminated, the CVTs, interior, and trunk were improved.

The most popular version on the secondary market was the 2007 version. This is due to the relatively low price and availability of basic technical innovations. Besides everything that could be broken has already been broken and replaced, accordingly, with skillful choice and a certain amount of luck, invest in expensive repairs immediately after purchasing the car, you won’t have to.

Modern shortcomings and shortcomings of the Nissan X-Trail T31 according to car owners:

The washer reservoir is a simple plastic container with tubes

1 Lack of washer reservoir level indicator

You can understand that the liquid has run out only by the absence of splashing on the glass... And this can lead to the fact that the pump that pumps the washer will deteriorate - it is not intended to work “dry”.

2 Unreliable fuel level sensor

Ixtrail has two of them. One on fuel pump, the other - separately. Usually the "separate" sensor is to blame. From constant contact with our “high-quality” fuel, contacts with all the consequences oxidize. You can clean it with a simple “cotton swab + solvent” kit.

Illuminated buttons on driver's door In the dark

3 Driver's door buttons do not light up properly

In particular, the power windows are not illuminated. It would be possible to make the lighting not from the side, but from the inside...

Curtain Nissan trunk X-Trail

4 Inconvenient trunk curtain

Tablecloth class. Something more practical could have been done.

Gas stop of the fifth door Nissan X-Trail

5 Weak fifth door stops

Nissan X-Trail gas struts do not always cope with the heavy fifth door. This is especially noticeable in cold weather and in the cold.

Operational problems

Relatively serious problems Nissan X-Trail starts after a year of running. Rust appears on the 5th door, which was slammed several times. There may be problems with paint coating on the roof, especially if you happened to drive through the bushes and didn’t notice the ones that appeared small scratches. Problems arise related to insufficiently careful handling, testing of extreme vehicle modes, and testing of capabilities.

Problems with wiring and abrasion of cables

From operating practice, it is quite obvious that all moving parts are subject to increased wear. As for the wires and cables laid in moving mechanisms, they also wear out, wear out, the insulation deteriorates, the wiring shorts out, the wires break and fray, and the microcircuits fail.

Traditional problems with car electronics; This is abrasion of control wires, cables, breakdown of controllers and buttons. What can we say if, even in old VAZs, the brake lights and turn signals fail, and on the left side, where the driver’s door provides additional mechanical stress on the wires. So, in the Nissan X-Trail, part of the control wire systems, buttons and cables are located on the steering wheel. Audio system cables, cruise control, speakerphone located on rotating elements are subject to abrasion.

Right front door wiring

In the hands of a competent electrician, the problem with cables can be easily eliminated. If there is no competent electrician, or the abrasion of the loops is catastrophic, that is, not “a little insulation”, but “in rags,” repair and replacement of the control loops will cost tens of thousands of rubles.

The electric seat adjustment drives of the Nissan X-Trail are also weak points due to increased mobility. This especially applies to driver's seat. Wear and tear of electrical circuits and cables is inevitable. And in the case of the Nissan X-Trail, a significant part of the electrics is located in moving parts, which increases wear many times over.

In addition to direct mechanical impact, there is a problem of condensation of excess moisture, a complex temperature regime, strong heating near the rubbing parts of the mechanism, unreliable protection of some components from dirt.

Sensors

Sensors transmitting data incorrectly are serious shortcomings of the Nissan X-Trail from the very first to latest models. Quite often this is a problem for a car owner who does not want to spend extra money on replacing a combined unit. By the way, there are a decent number of combined units in the Nissan X-Trail.

Resistor sensor open type: contacts constantly float in fuel

Fuel sensors. Ixtrail has two of them. The contacts of the fuel gauge become stuck, clogged and oxidized; for this reason, the sensor readings are not very accurate. Pros and cons of the car in in this case there is no point in measuring.

Fuel level sensor, which is combined with a fuel pump

The problem can be solved in the usual way by simply cleaning the boards. The “right” filter is no problem, but the “left” one is combined with the fuel pump. Replacement will cost more than 10,000 rubles. For this reason, many drivers limit themselves to clearing the right, which does not help efficient work level indicator.

IN extreme conditions, to which, according to the regulations, the Nissan X-Trail belongs subzero temperature, replacement of components should be carried out more often.

The same applies to the oil filter.

Expensive components

Cheap repairs for the Nissan X-Trail are impossible in principle. When considering the pros and cons of the Nissan X Trail, it is necessary to note expensive components for which replacement is recommended at the end of their service life.

This applies to scheduled work on the CVT transmission. Most CVTs use special oil CVT Fluid NS‑2, which is more expensive than regular transmission fluid. Oil filter, which must be changed simultaneously with the oil change, has additional functions and it costs a lot.

It is recommended to change the oil 2 times a year, which is approximately 32 thousand annually. In case of problems with the variator, and they arise due to incorrect user actions, an unscheduled oil change may be supplemented by changing the belt and grinding the pulleys.

Technical shortcomings

Small problems with the Nissan X-Trail, especially those purchased on the secondary market, are very unpleasant for the driver - these are plastic rattling parts in the cabin, as they are called “crickets”. The driver's problem is that by getting used to not paying attention to small clicking and creaking noises, you can miss a serious problem. The howl of the variator, of course, cannot be confused with anything, but it’s easy to miss the clicking and tapping of the steering rack. Let's list the most

• vulnerabilities
• Nissan X-Trail in terms of unexpected squeaks:
• On the outside there is a panel above the wipers. By the way, if cold weather is approaching, it is advisable to replace the standard wipers immediately; they are often made of rubber, which is not sufficiently resistant to frost. A nasty grinding sound on glass instead of soft sliding can be an unpleasant surprise.
• Center console. Heating system. The motor in it whistles and clicks, which will have to be replaced over time. The seats, though

the latest model and are stuffed with electronics, but after 2-3 years they creak almost like a spring grandmother’s sofa. This is, in principle, normal. None of the drivers complain about the seats and everyone finds the adjustment system very convenient. And they simply get used to the creaking and are surprised when strangers, for example, when selling a car, pay attention to the rather loud creaking. Nissan X-Trail is not the best

cheap car

and requires considerable investment in monthly maintenance; filters must be changed in accordance with the maintenance schedule, regardless of cost.

With proper driving and regular maintenance, the new Nissan X-Trail will not cause problems.

Disadvantages of Nissan X-Trail video Third generation (T32): Design features. In the third generation, X-Trail is based on new platform on the road. The car holds the road well, has firm suspension settings, has informative steering, is not prone to excessive roll, and provides reliable braking, but at the same time has lost some of its off-road qualities.

The weakest points. Among the most frequently broken components and assemblies of the T32 model, experts include:

• timing chain,
• wheel bearings,
• electrical components,

Engine problems. Problems with engines in the third generation are similar to problems with engines in a second-generation car and are described below.

Noise when the variator is running. The main reason for the appearance unnecessary noise from the variator - wear of the cone bearings. To restore normal operation of the variator, it is necessary to replace worn bearings. Note that worn bearings provoke accelerated wear of the variator belt and damage to other gearbox components, which may subsequently require complete replacement Checkpoint.

Jerks when driving a car with a CVT. The main reason is wedging pressure reducing valve variator oil pump due to ingress of products mechanical wear variator belt. To fix the problem, you will need to replace the belt and grind the conical surfaces of the pulleys.

Dust in the cabin when the air conditioning is turned on. The reason for the appearance of a “smell of dust” when the air conditioner is running lies in clogging cabin filter. To solve the problem, you need to replace the filter.

Rumble in the cabin when starting the engine. Typically, the noise comes from underneath the center of the car and is caused by the fuel line touching the bottom of the car. To solve the problem, it is necessary to prevent the fuel line from touching the body by laying it in problem areas polyurethane seal.

Doors don't close well. This problem can occur due to incorrect adjustment of door hinges and locks. To eliminate the problem, it is necessary to adjust the door hinges.

The stove is "cooking". This behavior is a feature of climate control. Russian version"X-Trail T32", which usually manifests itself in automatic mode work. To normalize the process of warming up the cabin and maintaining the temperature at a normal level, experts recommend switching the climate control to manual mode and redirect hot air flows to the “legs-glass” position.

Second generation (T31):

Disadvantages of Nissan X-Trail video The second generation crossover is built on the Renault-Nissan C platform, also aimed at cars, due to which the endurance of the suspension increased slightly. Meanwhile, the second generation received a more passable chassis with all-wheel drive transmission, interacting much more effectively with electronic assistants. The car demonstrates more stable behavior on the road, has more tenacious brakes and informative steering.

The weakest points. Among the most frequently broken components and assemblies of the T31 model, experts include:

• clutch,
• diesel engine injectors,
• wheel bearings,
• rack supports,
• electric power steering,
• thresholds (corrosion),
• trunk door (corrosion),

Unstable engine operation, tripping. As a rule, such symptoms are caused by stretching of the timing chain. To solve the problem, it is necessary to replace the chain and check the functionality of its tensioner.

The engine starts poorly when cold, the idle speed “floats”. The main reason for this engine behavior is clogging throttle valve. To fix the problem, you need to remove the throttle assembly and clean the valve.

Reduced diesel traction, reduced speed. These symptoms are caused by incorrect work particulate filter. To eliminate the symptoms, you will need to replace the filter or remove it from the system. In the latter case, the ECU will need to be reflashed.

Vibration in the front suspension. As a rule, vibration of the front suspension of a 2nd generation car, especially on rough roads, appears due to wear wheel bearings, which are the most weak point crossover suspensions. To fix the problem, it is necessary to replace worn bearings and check the reliability of fastening of all components. In addition, experts recommend simultaneously replacing the stabilizer struts, the wear of which provokes an increase in suspension noise.

Creaking or knocking noise when turning the steering wheel. The main reason for the appearance of these symptoms is wear of the steering shaft cardan shafts and its seals. To fix the problem you need to replace rubber seals and steering shaft driveshafts.

The fuel level indicator does not work correctly. Typically, the problem is caused by a clogged fuel level sensor, which causes it to periodically stick. To eliminate the problem, the sensor will need to be replaced.

Rattling in the windshield area. Main source extraneous noise– a plastic panel under the wipers, which has a weak fastening. It is recommended to glue the panel with double-sided tape.

Noise when the stove is turned on. The problem migrated from the first generation of the crossover and its solution is described below.

On-board systems do not respond to pressing buttons on the steering wheel. Failure of the control buttons on the steering wheel is caused by a failure of the steering column connecting cable. To solve the problem, you will need to replace the cable. In some cases, the functionality of the loop can be restored.

ABS does not work. Typically, the problem is caused by a failure of the ABS unit as a result of increased off-road loads. To solve the problem, you will need to replace the unit.

First generation (T30):

Disadvantages of Nissan X-Trail video The first generation of the car is built on a modified platform Almera sedan, which negatively affects the durability of the car suspension, which is not designed for increased load. Thus, crossover suspension elements are the most frequently breaking components. In addition, the car does not have very reliable brakes.

Increased oil consumption. On X-Trail T30 crossovers produced before 2004, an increase in oil consumption was quite often recorded with a relatively low mileage. The reason for the increase in consumption is wear valve stem seals And piston rings, which will require their immediate replacement, otherwise further operation may lead to the need overhaul engine.

The engine stalls or runs erratically. The main reason is timing chain stretching and tensioner wear. To eliminate interruptions in the operation of the motor, it is necessary to replace the chain and tensioner.

The engine starts poorly when cold and then runs intermittently. As a rule, such behavior of the motor provokes clogging throttle assembly. To restore engine performance, it is necessary to remove and clean the throttle assembly.
In addition, interruptions in engine operation may occur due to clogging fuel filter in the car's gas tank. In this case, the filter will need to be replaced.
If the problem occurs on a 2.5-liter engine, then you should additionally check the functionality of the crankshaft position sensor.

Unstable work diesel engine. As a rule, the main reason for the unstable operation of a diesel engine is incorrect work fuel pressure valve in the injection pump, which will require its replacement. In addition, it is necessary to check the operation of the sensor mass flow air and crankshaft position.

Reduced traction of a diesel engine, drop in speed. These symptoms indicate a failure of the particulate filter. To solve the problem, you will need to replace the filter or remove it from the system, followed by flashing the engine ECU.

The automatic transmission gear selector is locked. Selector locking is usually caused by burnout of contacts or failure of the power relay for the electric magnet of the locking drive. To solve the problem, you will need to replace the relay.

Knock in the suspension. The main reason is wear of the stabilizer struts. To solve the problem, they will need to be replaced. In addition, it is necessary to check the reliability of the connection of all suspension elements, especially the steering tips.

Noise when the stove is turned on. As a rule, noise occurs due to wear of the plain bearing in the heater motor. It is recommended to replace the bearing with a rolling bearing of similar size.
