2007 NISSAN MAXIMA Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN MAXIMA. THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 116,000.

I HAD TO REPLACE MY TRANSMISSION JAN 2018 WITH NO ASSISTANCE FROM NISSAN. NOT EVEN A BREAK ON REPLACEMENT PRICING. 2007 MAXIMA WITH 78000 NOT DRIVEN HARD OR ON THE HIGHWAY FOR VERY LONG UNTIL 2 YEARS AGO. NOW THE REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION IS WHINING AND FLUCTUATION IN RPM'S. LAST MONTH I WAS PULLING INTO A SHOPPING CENTER ACROSS 3 LANES AND MY CAR ACCELERATED TO 2-3 MILES AND HOUR AND NO FASTER. I WAS THANKFUL I LEFT A LOT OF ROOM OTHERWISE THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN A NASTY ACCIDENT. I ONLY HAVE 7000 MILE ON THE REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION AND IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS WAS NOT HELPFUL AT ALL, THE LADY I SPOKE WITH SEEMS QUITE INDIFFERENT IN OUR CONVERSATION. I'M SURE SHE GETS A LOT OF ANGRY CALLS. I SPOKE WITH A TRANSMISSION REPAIR SHOP THAT TOLD ME THESE TRANSMISSIONS FAIL ALL OF THE TIME EVEN THE REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION. PRICE GOUGING AND SELLING BAD PARTS JUST TO INCREASE THEIR PROFIT MARGINS KNOWING NO INTERVENTION WILL HAPPEN.

THE PROBLEM ON THE TRANSMISSION THE CAR WON'T ACCELERATE BEYOND 40MPH THROW THE RPM CAN'T GO HIGH ALL THE WAY

2007 NISSAN MAXIMA HAS ISSUE WITH ABS ENGAGING CAUSING TRANSMISSION TO GO INTO A LIMP/SAFE MODE WHICH DOES NOT ALLOW YOU TO ACCELERATE EVEN WHEN GAS PEDAL IS FLOORED. ON LEFT TURN ALMOST T-BONE BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECT WHICH IS WELL DOCUMENTED SINCE 2004. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON ROADWAY 45 MPH. RECALL NEEDED PEOPLE ARE GOING TO GET KILLED IF THEY HAVEN'T ALREADY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN MAXIMA. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS UNDERGOING MAINTENANCE BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, THE MECHANIC NOTICED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE FLOOR PANEL WAS ROTTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

THE FLOOR BOARDS ON M/V ARE ROTTING. IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE, NISSAN HAS BEEN AWARE AND NEVER TOLD THE BUYING PUBLIC. PLEASE FORCE A RECALL TO FIX ISSUE. MY NISSAN ONLY HAS 54K FOR MILEAGE AND HAS BEEN WELL TAKEN CARE OF. DISCOVERED THE ISSUE AS A RESULT OF HAVING STRUTS AND BREAK WORK DONE TO THE CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN MAXIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD BEGAN TO CRACK. THE LOCAL DEALER (DON DAVIS NISSAN 1320 I-20 FRONTAGE ROAD, ARLINGTON, TX 76018) WAS CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 25,000.

TIMING CHAIN AND AND ALL THE PLASTIC GUIDES FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. NEVER KNEW UNTIL CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK TO DEALER TO GET CHECKED, COME TO FIND OUT THAT THE PRIMARY AND SECONDARY TIMING CHAINS HAVE BOTH FAILED.

DRIVER SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AFTER DRIVER SIDE DOOR WAS SHUT WHILE PARKED IN DRIVEWAY. TERRIBLE SHAKING WHEN GOING 60MPH AND ESPECIALLY BAD WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED, WHICH THEN CAUSE A HARD JERK OR PULL TO THE RIGHT. WHEELS WERE ALL FOUR BENT AT THE TIME I PURCHASED THE CAR, BUT DEALER NEVER FIXED ONE THING I LISTED AND HE AGREED TO FIX OR ATTEMPTED TO FIX BEFORE THE SALE. CAR WAS REPOSSESSED MONTHS LATER AND RESOLD AT PRIVATE AUCTION. THE NEW OWNERS NEED TO BE AWARE OF THE AIRBAGS THAT ARE MISSING. THIS CAR OBVIOUSLY WAS IN AN ACCIDENT AND DOES NOT SHOW UP ON ANY VEHICLE HISTORY REPORT BUT I AM UNABLE TO PROVE IT. THE VALUE OF THE CAR AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE WAS $4,000. THE NORMAL WAS $6,500 AT THAT TIME. IF I HAD KEPT THE POS, I'D PAY OVER $21,000 WITH INTEREST AND OTHER FEES INCLUDED. THIS IS FRAUD. I STRONGLY FEEL LIKE WE'RE DEALING WITH FRAUD IN THIS SITUATION, BUT UNFORTUNATELY I CANNOT PROVE IT BY MYSELF AND NO ONE WILL HELP ME PROVE IT.

THE CVT TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED IN AUGUST 2016. THE CAR WAS JERKY AND THEN WOULDN'T GO INTO ANY GEAR ONCE I PULLED IT OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. NISSAN KNEW THERE WERE PROBLEMS WITH THE CVT'S - AND HAD EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FROM 5 YEARS AND 50,000 MILES TO 10 YEARS AND 100,000 MILES. THE CVT IN MY CAR WENT AT 9 YEARS (UNDER THE 10 YEARS) BUT OVER THE 100,000 MILES. SINCE NISSAN KNEW THERE WERE PROBLEMS, THEY SHOULD HAVE RECALLED THE TRANSMISSIONS INSTEAD OF EXTENDING THE WARRANTY. IT COST ME OVER $3,000 - WHEN IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN HANDLED WITH A RECALL. NISSAN ALSO STATES THAT THEY WILL LOWER THE COST OF THE REFURBISHED CVT AND THE REPAIRS IF OUT OF WARRANTY - YET THE PRICE WAS $3,119.60.
