2007 NISSAN MAXIMA Complaints

WHILE DRIVING ONTO THE HIGHWAY FROM AN OFF RAMP, THE POWER IN MY CAR FAILED. THE RPM'S WERE VERY HIGH, BUT THERE WAS NO POWER. AFTER PRESSING AND RELEASING THE GAS SEVERAL TIMES, THE POWER PICKED UP AND THE CAR DROVE NORMALLY. ON JANUARY 3, WHILE TRYING TO DRIVE 30 MPH TO WORK, THE CAR FELT AS IF IT WAS SHIFTING BETWEEN GEARS ON ITS OWN. NO MATTER HOW I WAS PRESSING ON THE GAS PEDAL, THE CAR SPED UP AND SLOWED DOWN ON IT'S OWN. IT WAS VERY SCARY HAVING THE CAR SPEED UP ON IT'S OWN. I TOOK THE CAR TO A MECHANIC AND I WAS TOLD THAT I NEED AN ENTIRELY NEW TRANSMISSION. THE CAR HAD LESS THAN 15 MILES ON IT WHEN I BOUGHT IT IN 2007, NEEDING A NEW TRANSMISSION IS UNACCEPTABLE AND HAVING THE CAR SPEED BE OUT OF CONTROL IS AN UNDOUBTED SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING WHERE THE TECHNICIAN ADVISED THAT THE FLOORBOARD WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 116,000. UPDATED 01/18/2012*LJ UPDATED 02/03/12

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN MAXIMA. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE OVER 30 MPH AND WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED THERE WAS EXCESSIVE VIBRATION. IN ADDITION, THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE WARNING INDICATORS REMAINED ILLUMINATED UNTIL THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE DRIVING CAUTIOUSLY TO HIS RESIDENCE AND UPON ARRIVAL THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THE ABS ACTUATOR AND BOTH REAR BRAKE SENSORS WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND WAS TAKEN AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC; HOWEVER THEY ADVISED FOR THAT TYPE OF REPAIR THE VEHICLE BE TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 54,000. UPDATED 01/30/12

ABS/SPEED SENSOR/CONTROLLER FAILURE - DRIVING HOME ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 65 MPH THE CAR SLOWED TO 25 & WOULDN'T GO OVER. COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. LATER FOUND OUT RR SENSOR WENT OUT FROM TECH. REPLACED, STILL DIDN'T WORK. BOUGHT NEW ABS CONTROLLER (VERY EXPENSIVE)! STILL NOT WORKING. THEN BOUGHT NEW RR HUB. NO DICE. WENT TO BUCKEYE NISSAN, THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME ANOTHER $4000 TO REPLACE ALL THE PARTS AGAIN AND A FEW WE DIDN'T! BOUGHT HUB FOR LR AND SOLVED PROBLEM. WELL WE THOUGHT. A MONTH LATER, IT IS NOW DOING IT AGAIN. THE CAR WON'T GO OVER 25 BUT THIS TIME NO LIGHTS. GETTING GRINDING FROM BRAKES LIKE IT DID WHEN CONTROLLER WENT OUT. BETTER NOT BE GOING OUT AGAIN. PAID A LOT OF MONEY TO GET THIS CAR FIXED AND NOW A FEW WEEKS LATER WE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. ALL WERE DEALER PARTS NEW. NOT CHEAP AND THEN THE DEALERSHIP WANTED TO RIP ME OFF MORE TO REPLACE PARTS THAT WERE NEW. THIS WAS MY THIRD AND FINAL NISSAN I WILL EVER BUY AND WILL TELL MY CHURCH FRIENDS AND FAMILY!! NISSAN WON'T MAKE IT RIGHT, IT IS THEIR PROBLEM. THEY SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL, I AM A MEMBER OF SEVERAL NISSAN FORUMS AND THIS PROBLEM IS HUGE. NISSAN TAKE CARE OF YOUR CUSTOMERS!!! *TR

2007 NISSAN MAXIMA. ABS ACTUATES DURING ACCELERATION AND NORMAL BRAKING NO LIGHTS ON CONSTANTLY. *TR

AFTER LEAVING HOME & DRIVING 1 MILE THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE TO HIGHWAY SPEED AND HAD DIFFICULTY GOING OVER 30 MPH. AT JUST OVER 40 MPH THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING AT OVER 4,500 RPM. NOT WANTING TO RISK DRIVING THE CAR ON THE HIGHWAY TO THE NEAREST NISSAN DEALER (20+ MI.), I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH A SHOP CLOSER TO HOME. WHEN I DROVE TO THE SHOP IT WAS DIFFICULT TO MAINTAIN ANY SPEED OVER 40 MPH AND THE CAR SLOWED TO UNDER 25 MPH GOING UP AN INCLINE. HALF WAY TO THE SHOP, APPROX. 4 MILES, SEVERAL WARNING LIGHTS LIT UP ON THE DASH. AT THE SHOP THE MECHANIC SAID THAT THE ABS BRAKE SYSTEM WAS SHOWING A PROBLEM WITH THE RIGHT REAR SENSOR, AFTER TALKING TO THE NISSAN DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR IT WAS DECIDED THAT THE RIGHT REAR ABS SENSOR SHOULD BE REPLACED. THAT WAS DONE BUT IT DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. MORE PHONE CALLS WERE MADE AND THE CONSENSUS WAS THAT THE ABS ACTUATOR (CONTROL UNIT) NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE NISSAN DEALER INDICATED THAT ABS BRAKE SYSTEM PROBLEMS ARE COMMON WITH THIS VEHICLE. A FAILURE OF SUCH A CRITICAL PART IN THE ABS BRAKE SYSTEM WOULD BE VERY DANGEROUS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS.. THIS WAS AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR AND THE ABS SYSTEM CONTROL UNIT IS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD LAST THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. WITH A VEHICLE WITH JUST OVER 50,000 MILES, IT SEEMS LIKE THERE IS A DESIGN OR MANUFACTURING PROBLEM HERE.

WE BOUGHT A NEW 2007 MAXIMA IN 5/07. AT 26,425 MILES (ALMOST 2 YEARS OLD), THE FRONT ROTORS NEEDED REPLACED BECAUSE THEY WERE WARPED AND THIN. NOW, ANOTHER 25,804 MILES (AND ALMOST 2 YEARS AFTER THE FIRST REPLACEMENT) THE SAME PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED. THEY TRIED TO BLAME IT ON HARD BRAKING AND/OR DRIVING STEEP HILLS REGULARLY; WHICH IS NOT ACCURATE. ROTORS SHOULD NOT FAIL WITH LOW MILES. WE HAVE A 20 YEAR OLD CAR THAT WE REPLACED THE ROTORS ONCE. I SEARCHED THE WEB FOR SIMILAR COMPLAINTS AND FOUND ALLWORLDAUTO.COM. ON THEIR WEB SITE, THERE WERE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE MAXIMA ROTORS. I BELIEVE THAT THIS PROBLEM IS UNDER REPORTED BY CONSUMERS AND THE COMPANY. THE COMPANY SHOULD NOT BE GETTING AWAY WITH THIS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN MAXIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER TWICE WHERE THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 116,821.
