The dealer told me it was a sticking throttle body caused by carbon buildup, $100 to clean, not covered under warranty because it is a 'maintence' issue and nothing was 'broken'. I said 'BS' and told them maintenance is changing the oil, brakes, tirers etc...not cleaning the throttle body every 26k, especially when under warranty. So far Nissan is not budging on the cost and told me they have no other reportso of this problem.

Anyone had anything similar happen with their Xterra?

Yes, my 2000 Pathfinder does the same thing-What did you do about it?
