2010 NISSAN MAXIMA Complaints

The contact owns a 2010 Nissan Maxima. The contact stated that while driving at 60 MPH, the steering wheel began to violently shake without warning as his vehicle also began to wobble uncontrollably. The contact stated that the wobbling came to a stop once he released his foot off the accelerator pedal. The contact had taken the vehicle to an independent mechanic where the vehicle was diagnosed with a cracked strut insulator. Upon investigation, the contact discovered NHTSA Campaign Number: 09V358000 (Suspension) which he linked to the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was informed that the VIN was not included in the recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 148,000.

I bought this vehicle used and with the dash being defective from the heat and humidity, it puts off a glare on the windshield which makes it extremely difficult to see through.

MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKING ASSEMBLY WENT OUT AND I'M NOT ABLE TO CRANK MY CAR. APPARENTLY MY 2010 WASN'T AVAILABLE IN THE RECALL OR CAMPAIGN . IT QUIT WORKING IN MY DRIVEWAY

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 NISSAN MAXIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STRUT INSULATOR WAS FRACTURED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRACTURE CAUSED A POWER STEERING FLUID LEAK. ADDITIONALLY, THE SET OF TIRES WERE REPLACED ALONG WITH THE MOTOR MOUNTS DUE TO THE FAILURE. THE TIRE PRESSURE WARNING WAS ILLUMINATED.

MY CAR HAS A DEFECTIVE DASHBOARD THAT MELT AND BECOME SHINY, STICKY, AND REFLECTIVE WHEN EXPOSED TO SUNLIGHT. SOFT, STICKY MESS! SHINY DASHBOARDS CAUSING DISTRACTING AND GLARING REFLECTIONS OFF THE WINDSHIELD. AS SOON IT WILL BE HOT AGAIN, I WILL AGAIN BE AFRAID TO DRIVE A CAR DUE TO THE WINDSHIELD GLARE FROM THE SHINY MELTED DASHBOARD. I HAVE NO PHOTOS OF THE SHINY PANEL, BECAUSE IT WAS LAST SUMMER, WHEN I WAS TAKING CARE OF A DYING HUSBAND, WHO PASSED AWAY LAST SEPTEMBER. I DID NOT HAVE TIME TO TAKE PHOTOS OF THE CAR AND THINK ABOUT IT. BUT THE PANEL IS STILL STICKY. IN ADDITION TO THIS PROBLEM, THE DASHBOARD HAS A MANY CRACKS, PHOTOS THAT I CAN SHOW. SUCH A WELL-KNOWN MANUFACTURER USED THE WRONG MATERIAL FOR THE DASHBOARD. THIS IS NOT MY FAULT, SO I DO NOT HAVE TO PAY A LOT OF MONEY FOR REPLACING THE DASHBOARD. I DON'T HAVE MONEY FOR THIS, SINCE I ONLY GET SOCIAL SECURITY CHECK. IN ADDITION, WE RETIRED AT THE BEGINNING OF 2015 AND MY CAR IS MOST OF THE TIME IN THE GARAGE. I AM THE ONLY ONE USING THIS CAR. THE MILEAGE OF THE CAR IS 51152 ML.
