MY ABS/TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM FAILED. DUE TO THE SYSTEM FAILING THE VEHICLE TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTIONS. THIS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY TRAVELING AT THE RECOMMENDED SPEED. DUE TO THE ABS/TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM FAILING MY VEHICLE DECELERATED QUICKLY CAUSING A UNSAFE ENVIRONMENT FOR ME, MY PASSENGER AND THE VEHICLES BEHIND ME. FORTUNATELY THE VEHICLES BEHIND ME WAS AT A SAFE DISTANCE AND NO ACCIDENT WAS CAUSED. I HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED TO SAFE LOCATION BECAUSE THIS MALFUNCTION CAUSES THE TRANSMISSION TO NOT SHIFT FROM A LOW GEAR. THIS PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE IS UNSAFE AND I HAVE JUST FOUND THAT IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM. YET THERE HAS BEEN NO RESPONSIBLE ACTION TAKEN BY NISSAN. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE. *TR

THE CAR MAKES A KNOCKING SOUND WHEN THE ENGINE IS RUNNING. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED IT WAS THE TIMING CHAIN AND TENSIONER. THE COST FOR REPAIR IS 2500. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE EVER HEARD OF A TIMING CHAIN GOING BAD WITH A CAR WITH THIS MILEAGE. I AM VERY UPSET LOOKED THE PROBLEM UP ON THE INTERNET AND NOTICED ALOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THIS ON THEIR CARS. I FEEL NISSAN SHOULD REPLACE THIS AT THEIR COST. *TR

I WAS DRIVING NORTH ON E I-94 AT THE POSTED SPEED WHEN THE CALL STARTED TO SLOW DOWN AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PAST 40 MILES PER HOUR. THE SLUGGISH SPEED CONTINUED OFF AND ON UNTIL I REACHED MY DESTINATION. ON MY RETURN TRIP HOME, THE MULTITUDE OF LIGHTS CAME ON DURING THE DRIVE (TCS OFF, BRAKE, ABS, SLIP) AND THE CAR WOULD PERIODICALLY GO BETWEEN SLUGGISH AND REGULAR SPEED. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, THE CAR WAS DIAGNOSED WITH HAVE A BAD ABS ACTUATOR AND ONE BAD SPEED SENSOR, TOTAL COST OF REPAIRS ABOUT $2400. FROM WHAT I'VE READ, THIS IS A RECURRING NISSAN PROBLEM ACROSS MODELS AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. IT IS UNCONSCIONABLE THAT WE SHOULD BE HAVE TO PAY FOR A COMPANY MISTAKE. *TR

I OWN A 2007 NISSAN MAXIMA. COMING HOME FROM A TRIP THAT LASTED APPROXIMATELY 60 MILES, I TURNED ONTO MY STREET AFTER ABOUT ANOTHER MILE I WENT OVER A BUMP, AND IT SOUNDED LIKE I HAD SCRAPPED THE BOTTOM OF THE VEHICLE. I CONTINUED ON. WITHIN THE NEXT 500 FEET OR SO THE CAR BEGAN TO PULL EXTREMELY HARD TO THE RIGHT. KNOWING WHAT A TIRE FAILURE FEELS LIKE, I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND GOT OUT. TO MY AMAZEMENT MY RIGHT REAR TIRE HAD LOST ALL AIR WITHIN SECONDS. IF I HAD BEEN TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY LIKE I PREVIOUSLY STATED I WOULD HAVE SPUN OUT. AFTER CHANGING THE TIRE I EXAMINED THE FLAT AND OBSERVED THAT THE TIRE HAD TWO PIECES OF TREAD "TORN" OUT OF THE TIRE IN TWO SEPARATE LOCATIONS. THE FIRST WOULD BE AT APPROXIMATELY 2 O'CLOCK AND THE SECOND AT 9 O'CLOCK. NOT DIRECTLY PARALLEL TO EACH OTHER. THE TIRE HAD NOT BEEN WORN ON THE INSIDE WHERE THE TREAD FAILED, SO I DEEMED IT NOT TO BE A CHASSIS PROBLEM WITH THE CAR. I HAVE PHOTOS OF THE TIRE AND STILL HAVE IT AT THIS MOMENT. *TR
