2007 NISSAN MAXIMA Complaints

AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT WON'T TURN OFF. I'M WORRIED IT WILL SPONTANEOUSLY DEPLOY AT ANYTIME. IT IS THE OPINION OF VARIOUS CAR WASH ESTABLISHMENTS THAT ROOF AND HOOD PAINT IS A COMMON DEFECT ON NISSAN VEHICLES, INCLUDING MINI-VANS. MY CAR'S HOOD AND ROOF LOOK LIKE I'VE LIVED BY THE SEA FOR YEARS. TRUTH IS THAT I'VE ALWAYS LIVED INLAND. THERE'S NO REASON WHY MY CAR SHOULD LOOK 20 YEARS OLD! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN MAXIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS CORROSION PRESENT AND A HOLE LOCATED ON THE DRIVER SIDE FLOORBOARD. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN TAKEN TO DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSIS AND STATED THEY WOULD HAVE TO EJECT THE DRIVER'S SEAT FROM THE VEHICLE, WELD NEW MEDAL TO COVER THE HOLE AND PUT AN UNDER COATING ON THE WELD NEW MEDAL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 74,000.

THIS FRIDAY OCTOBER 24TH I WAS DRIVING BACK HOME IN MY 2007 MAXIMA SE (VIN: [XXX]) WHEN SUDDENLY MY CAR STALLED WHILE DRIVING WITH NO CONTROL OVER THE STEERING WHEEL. LUCKILY I WAS AT THE ENTRANCE OF MY SUBDIVISION MINUTE AFTER TAKING EXIT FROM A 50 MPH STATE ROUTE. MY CAR RAN OVER THE CURB BARELY MISSING A RARE COLLISION WITH A SUV WHOSE DRIVER HAD NO CLUE WHAT'S GOING ON WITH MY CAR. I CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED IF THE CAR STALLED ON 50 MPH STATE ROUTE DURING THE RUSH HOUR. THE PROBLEM TURNED OUT TO BE A FAULTY CAM SHAFT SENSOR THAT I'VE ORDERED AND WILL BE ARRIVING IN A DAY OR TWO. REGARDLESS OF THE FAULTY PART I BELIEVE THE CAR BEHAVIOR IS UNACCEPTABLE AS A RESULT OF THAT. I DID SPENT TIME RESEARCHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM ONLINE AND IT LOOKS I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE AS THERE ARE MANY NISSAN OWNERS WITH THIS PROBLEM AND HAVE THEIR OWN HORROR STORIES TO TELL. I GUESS I'M EXTREMELY LUCKY THAT I'M WRITING THIS EMAIL IN PERSON VS. SOMEONE ELSE DOING IT FOR ME. IT'S EXTREMELY HARD FOR ME TO BELIEVE THAT THE CAR WOULD STALL DUE TO A FAULTY ISSUE AND I'M SURE NISSAN IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM BUT THERE IS STILL NO RECALL. I URGE NISSAN TO CONSIDER THIS ISSUE SERIOUSLY AND MAKE REMEDY AVAILABLE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE BEFORE ITS TOO LATE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

PASSENGERS SIDE FRONT FLOOR PAN RUSTED THROUGH AS IF CAR IS 40 YEARS OLD. NOT ONLY IS THIS A BODY FRAME DEFECT BUT A SAFETY ISSUE. HUNDREDS OF ON LINE FORUMS NOTE THE PROBLEM IS OBVIOUS AND NISSAN REFUSES TO ADMIT DESIGN DEFECT. THIS DEFECT JUSTIFIES A RECALL FOR REPAIR OTHERWISE VALUE OF VEHICLE HAS BEEN SIGNIFICANTLY DIMINISHED.

TL ' THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN MAXIMA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR OF THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS STRUCK BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT CRASHED HEAD ON INTO A PARKED VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED A FRACTURED STERNUM. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED.

WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN SHOP I WAS ALERTED TO THE FACT BOTH FRONT BOARDS WERE RUSTED THROUGH TO THE GROUND. *TR

I TOOK MY NISSAN IN FOR A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE AT PEP BOYS AND WAS IMMEDIATELY NOTIFIED OF RUST ON THE FLOOR BOARDS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE CAR. IT WAS BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT THE DRIVER SIDE IS BECOMING A SAFETY ISSUE AND CAN FAIL AT ANY TIME DUE TO THE SEVERITY OF THE PROBLEM. I NOTIFIED MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND WAS GIVEN A QUOTE FOR THE REPAIRS. I FORWARDED SAID QUOTE TO CONSUMER AFFAIRS AT NISSAN OF NORTH AMERICA AND WAS LATER NOTIFIED THAT THE MANUFACTURE DECLINED ANY SOLUTION TO MY PROBLEM. IT HAS COME TO MY ATTENTION THAT MANY CARS OF THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL HAVE THE SAME EXACT ISSUE. IT HAS BEEN REPORTED BEFORE BOTH WITH THE NHTSA AS WELL AS THE BBB. IF IT IS A PREVALENT PROBLEM THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DEFECT AND TRY TO REPAIR ALL ISSUES BEFORE PEOPLE ARE HURT. THE REPAIRS ARE EXTENSIVE, LABOR CONSUMING AND EXPENSIVE. *TR
