Loose Translation:
I own a 2002 Xterra that I am having a problem with. The truck feels too heavy when I am driving it. ( Like it's pulling a heavy trailer ). I only have 28,000 miles on it and everything else seems ok but it seems like it has been losing power compared to 2 years ago. I only went the supermarket ( short drives ) and the car feels heavy or underpowered.
RESPONSE:
Sounds to me like an Emergency brake cable or the rear brakes have seized up and are holding a rear wheel or both rear wheels.
Question for the owner: Are the back wheels really hot after a short drive? Can you tell if the emergency brake is working correctly? If the rear wheels are really hot....almost red hot, then the brakes are seized and they need repair.....right away.
The only other thing I can think of: If its an automatic transmission the transmission may have damage or the filter could be plugged. If it's a standard perhaps the clutch is worn out and it's not grabbing properly.
