MY 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA 3.5SL HAS A UNRELIABLE RESPONSE FROM THE PASSENGER POWER DOOR LOCK. IT ONLY LOCK AND UNLOCK PARTIALLY, WHICH I BELIEVE IT IS A CRITICAL SAFETY ISSUE AND SOMEWHAT DISAPPOINTING TO SEE ON A BRAND CAR LIKE MAXIMA. *TR

2005 NISSAN MURANO. THE LEFT SEAT ( DRIVERS ). ABOUT ONE MONTH AGO I NOTICED THAT THE SEAT WAS LOOSE ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE SEAT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERS AND THEY FOUND THAT THE AFT LIFT ROD HAD CRACKED. THE REPAIR WOULD COST OVER 1000 DOLLARS. I MADE A REPAIR ON THE SEAT BY WELDING THE BROKEN PART. *TR

NISSAN USES FAULTY EQUIPMENT IN THEIR VEHICLES AND ASHLY AT THEIR CONSUMER AFFAIRS DEPT ACTUALLY TOLD ME THAT NISSAN ONLY EXPECTS THEIR VEHICLES TO LAST THE 3 YRS OR 36K MILES!! SINCE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE I HAVE HAD THE A/C COMPRESSOR REPLACES, ALL HEATER HOSSES REPLACED, OIL LEAKS, COOLANT LEAKS, DRIVE BELTS REPLACED AND THE ALTERNATOR REPLACED. MY CAR LITERALLY BROKE DOWN IN MY DRIVEWAY. I WAS RETURNING FROM VACATION WITH MY SON, MY DOG AND MY CAT-IF MY TRIP WOULD HAVE 15 MINS. LONGER I WOULD HAVE BROKE DOWN ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. NISSAN DOES NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS AT ALL AND DOES NOT CARE ABOUT THE CONSUMER OR THEIR SAFETY!! *TR

MY VAN HAD THE RED KEY WARNING LIGHT GO ON AND SMELLED LIKE ELECTRICAL BURNING. I HAD IT TOWED IMMEDIATELY TO A NISSAN DEALER KELLY NISSAN LYNNFIELD MA. THEY DID CHECK THE BULLETINS UNTIL AFTER TEST DRIVING IT TWICE AND BURNING OUT THE IGNITION COILS THEY JUST REPLACED AND BURNED OUT MY CATALYTIC CONVERTER (THEY PUT A NEW ONE ON WITHOUT REPORTING IT) THEY WERE ADVISED IN WRITING NOT TO DO ANY WORK EXCEPT REPLACE THE COILS THEY SAID THEY BURNED OUT AND ONLY THEN AT NO COST TO ME. THEY REPLACED MORE THAN WHAT WAS ORIGINALLY WRITTEN, CHARGED ME AND WHEN THEY TEST DROVE IT AND RUINED THE CONVERTER IT SUCKED UP DEBRIS INTO THE ENGINE AND DESTROYED MY ENGINE. CALLED CORPORATE NISSAN WHO SAID THEY COULD NOT HELP ( AFTER THEY GAVE A 300.00 COUPON BECAUSE OF THE DECEPTION PRIOR TO FINDING OUT ABOUT THE DAMAGED ENGINE). IT ALL STARTED FROM A LOOSE GROUND WIRE THAT CAUSED THE COILS TO OVERWORK AND BURNED OUT. I ENDED UP PAYING ABOUT $900 FOR REPAIRS BECAUSE THE MISDIAGNOSED AND DAMAGED PARTS, NOW THE ENGINE IS ESTIMATED AT 6800. TO REPLACE. I M DISABLED AND BARELY ABLE TO AFFORD THE ROOF OVER MY HEAD AND FOOD. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE BEHAVIOR, NISS SAYS THE DEALERS ARE INDEPENDANTLY OWNED, YET THEY L HAVE THE SAME MAKER. I KEPT THE COILS THEY PUT IN HOWEVER THEY REMOVED A BOX WITH THE FIRST REPLACED ONES AND DID TO PUT THEM ALL BACK FOR ME AS INSTRUCTED. I HAVE TWO TECHNICIANS ONE A NISSAN TECH WHO SAYS IT IS DIRECTLY DUE TO KELLY NISSAN'S MISDIAGNOSIS AND DRIVING OF THE CAR TO THE POINT OF BURNING UP THE PARTS. WHAT DOES A CONSUMER NEED TO DO TO PROTECT THEMSELVES? THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. ALL PARTS EXCEPT THE CONVERTER THEY ALSO KEPT AND THE INITIAL COILS I HAVE. THE VAN WAS TOWED TO THE SHOP I USED AND ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON IMMEDIATELY FROM FIRST TIME DRIVEN STILL IN DEALER LOT, THEY COULD TO FIND PROBLEM ALTHOUGH HEARD SOUND FROM ENGINE AND READ THE MISFIRE CODES UNTIL SECOND LOOK AFTER IT STARTED POURING SMOKE OUT THE EXHAUST AND SOUND BECAME SO BAD AND CAR WAS DEEMED UNSAFE TO DRIVE. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA SE WITH 51039 MILES AND RECENTLY I NOTICED THAT THE CAR JERKING CHANGING GEARS SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT AND THEY ADVICE ME THAT I NEEDED TO HAVE THE MOTOR MOUNT REPLACE, AC LINE IS LEAKING NEED REPLACEMENT AND TRANSMISSION FLUSHED. I DID ALL THAT AND THE PROBLEM STILL HAPPENS SO I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THIS TIME THEY ADVICE ME THAT THE TRANSMISSION WILL NEED TO BE REPLACE. THEY GAVE ME A ESTIMATE OF 4500 FOR THE REPAIR. AFTER RESEARCHING ON THIS ISSUE TO SEE IF THE TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT WILL FIX THE PROBLEM AND I AM A LITTLE WORRY THAT IT MIGHT NOT. BECAUSE I GOT THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND I DROVE IT FOR NO MORE THEN 3 MILES AND THE PROBLEM CAME BACK. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE TO HAVE IT LOOK AT AGAIN. I THINK THAT IF NISSAN DOES NOT LOOK INTO THIS IT WILL CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT IF THE TRANSMISSION FAILS OR THAT SUDDEN JERK WILL CAUSE PANIC IS THE DRIVER AND CAUSE THE DRIVEN TO STEP ON THE GAS AND HIT SOMEONE IN FRONT OF THEM. PLEASE PLEASE ADVICE NISSAN FOR RECALL. *TR
