I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN MURANO. THE DOOR ACTUATOR HAS FAILED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE FAILS INTERMITTENTLY AS WELL AS THE REAR DOOR LATCH. THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WILL NOT OPEN AT ALL. TRULY THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE CORRECTED BY NISSAN. CURRENTLY, I HAVE SEEN NOR HEARD OF ANY RECALL. *TR

2006 NISSAN MAXIMA 3.5 SE. ABS ACTUATOR FAILURE, TBS, ABS, BRAKE LIGHTS ON. NO OTHER DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE HAS EVER OCCURRED. REPLACEMENT PART PRICE EXHORBANT, UNREALISTIC. THIS PART SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR

2004 NISSAN MAXIMA THAT SWAYS WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT AND SHIFTS HARD OR SKIPS OUT OF GEAR BETWEEN 2ND AND 3RD GEAR. ONLY HAVE 59,500 MILES ON CAR AND FRONT STRUTS SWAY BAR SUB FRAME BUSHINGS NEED TO BE REPLACED ALONG WITH STRUTS AND TRANSMISSION. *TR

2006 ALTIMA-SLUGGISH PERFORMANCE-HAD TO PUT 2 QUARTS OF OIL IN CAR TODAY-JUST HAD OIL CHANGE TWO WEEKS AGO. WHILE DRIVING UP A SLOPE CAR STARTS TO JERKS HARD-PULLED OFF ROAD-CUT THE CAR OFF-TOOK SEVERAL TRIES BEFORE CAR WOULD START. IT HAS BEEN DOING THIS FOR THE PAST TWO DAYS... *TR

NISSAN HAS A HUGE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. IT SEEMS TO BE A SERIOUS AND COMMON PROBLEM WITH 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA CARS! MY MAXIMA WAS JERKING BETWEEN 1ST 2ND AND 3RD GEARS, RPMS REACHING 4 DURING SHIFTING, HARD JERKS IN DOWN SHIFTING; A 5 SEC PAUSE WHEN PUTTING THE CAR INTO REVERSE OR DRIVE, I ALSO HEARD GRINDING NOISE WHEN SHIFTING. THIS OCCURRED ON A DAILY BASES.I HAD TO PAY $3,500 FOR A REBUILT TRANS. NISSAN HEADQUARTERS REFUSE TO; LOOK AT MY CAR...AT THAT TIME I ONLY HAD 95,000 MILES NISSAN SAID MY WARRANTY EXPIRED. NISSAN TOLD ME I WASN'T A TRUE CUSTOMER BECAUSE I WASN'T GETTING MY OIL CHANGED BY THEM ON A REGULAR BASIS. (I PAID MY CAR OFF IN FULL IN 2005 HOW DEVOTED IS THAT) NISSAN NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBLITY FOR THIS FAULTY TRANSMISSION. I WILL NEVER EVER BUY ANOTHER NISSAN AGAIN. ON TOP OF ALL THAT MY ABS SYSTEM IS COMPLETELY GONE IT'S TOO MUCH TO REPAIR. *TR

NISSAN ALTIMA HYBRID 2009 TPMS MALFUNCTION. THE VEHICLE WAS BOUGHT IN AUG 2009 AND THE TPMS FAILED AT LEAST FOUR TIMES TILL TODAY (MAR 2 2011). THE TPMS LIGHT WAS ON EVEN WHEN ALL THE TIRES WERE IN STANDARD PRESSURE. THE DEALER/SERVICE CENTER WAS ABLE TO REPAIR IT ALL THE TIME BUT THE EQUIPMENT CAN LEAD TO A FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY. *TR

MY DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR DOES NOT STAY IN THE UP POSITION. IT DROOPS DOWN INTERMITTENT BLOCKING SIGHT OF VIEW. THIS IS DANGEROUS WHEN I DRIVE AT NIGHT TIME WHEN THE SUN VISOR IS IN THE DOWN POSITION ALL THE TIME. THIS IS ON A 2007 NISSAN MURANO. I WAS TOLD THAT THE REPAIR/REPLACEMENT WILL BE ~$500 AND THE EXTENDED WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER FOR THIS DEFECTIVE PART. *TR

NISSAN 2004 FRONTIER XE BRAKES FAILED WITHOUT WARNING CAUSING A COLLISION INTO AN APARTMENT COMPLEX ENTRY SIGN MADE OUT OF CEMENT BLOCKS. THE DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE RESULTED IN A TOTAL LOSS. IF THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN REPAIRABLE, A SERIOUS CONCERN FOR DRIVER AND PASSENGER SAFETY DUE TO THE HIGH PROBABILITY OF REPEATED BRAKE FAILURE. A TOTAL BRAKE SYSTEM REPAIR HAD BEEN DONE BY A REPUTABLE REPAIR SHOP APPROXIMATELY ONE AND ONE-HALF YEARS PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT. *LN

2007 NISSAN MAXIMA ABS ACTIVATES WITH NORMAL BRAKING. THERE WAS A SERVICE BULLETIN NTB07-016B FOR THIS PROBLEM WHICH IS CLEARLY A DESIGN DEFECT FROM NISSAN. AS I WAS DRIVING AND CATCHING SPEED I NOTICED MY CAR SLIPPED INTO A LOWER GEAR I WOULD HEAR ABS ENGAGING AND IF I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL ABS WOULD BE ACTIVATED. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER EVEN THOUGH I HAVE NO WARRANTY THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD COST ME $1,200 TO REPLACE THE BEARINGS AND THE SENSORS AS THEY WERE CORRODED DUE TO WATER AND DIRT TRAPPED WHERE THE SENSORS REST. THE SERVICE BULLETIN CLEARLY STATES THAT A PIECE HAS TO BE GRINDED OFF ON KNUCKLE IN ORDER TO ALLOW PROPER DRAINAGE OF WATER AND DIRT. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR TO BE DONE COMING OUT OF CONSUMERS POCKETS DUE TO THE OBVIOUS DESIGN DEFECT FROM NISSAN. THEY SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS ONGOING DEFECT AND A RECALL SHOULD BE MANDATED TO CORRECT THIS POTENTIAL HAZARD WHILE DRIVING. *TR
