2010 NISSAN MAXIMA Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 NISSAN MAXIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START AND THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 114,000.

I DOUBLE PARKED MY 2010 MAXIMA TO RUN INTO A STORE TO BUY A NEWSPAPER. WHEN I RETURNED A MINUTE LATER TO THE CAR, IT WOULD NOT START - THE STEERING WHEEL WAS LOCKED. I WAS STRANDED ON A VERY BUSY AVENUE WITH A LOT OF TRAFFIC. AFTER READING ALL THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM ON THE 2010 MAXIMA, I AM SHOCKED THAT NISSAN HAS NOT RECALLED THIS CAR TO REPAIR THE ISSUE. I HAD TO WAIT 4 HOURS IN THE FREEZING COLD BEFORE A TOW TRUCK ARRIVED. THE DRIVER TOOK ME TO THE BAY RIDGE NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS REPAIRED AT A COST OF $1,056.00. I ALSO MISSED A DAY'S WORK DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS DEFINITELY A VEHICLE THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED FOR THIS DANGEROUS SITUATION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 NISSAN MAXIMA. WHILE PARKED, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AFTER REPEATED ATTEMPTS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A KEY WITH A LOCK WARNING SYMBOL ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING LOCK MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

UNEXPECTEDLY THE 2010 NISSAN MAXIMA WOULDN'T START. I THEN CHECK THIS WEBSITE, AND FIND A TON OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE! THE ELECTRONIC STEERING LOCK CONTROL! I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW NISSAN ISN'T HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS FAULTY PART. I PAID ALMOST $40,000 FOR A CAR THAT WON'T START. THIS CAN HAPPEN WITHOUT ANY WARNING. MY ISSUE OCCURED WITH MY 4 MONTH OLD SON IN THE VEHICLE WHILE EVERYONE ELSE I KNEW WAS AT WORK. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE! THIS SAME PART NUMBER WAS RECALLED IN PREVIOUS YEARS FOR THE MAXIMA! THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AFTER STOPPING AT THE BANK TO MAKE A DEPOSIT. WILL SOMEONE PLEASE HOLD NISSAN RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS ONGOING ISSUE!

UNEXPECTEDLY, AFTER DRIVING ONE KID TO SCHOOL THIS MORNING, VEHICLE (STATIONARY) WOULD NOT START TO DRIVE MY OTHER KID TO MIDDLE SCHOOL. THE ELECTRONIC STEERING COLUMN LOCK (ESCL) UNIT THAT LOCKS THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PARKED AND THE IGNITION IS TURNED OFF TO HELP PREVENT THEFT PREVENTS THE VEHICLE FROM RECOGNIZING MY KEY (FOB), NO REGULAR KEY IS ISSUED, JUST BUTTON START. IN MY VEHICLE THE ESCL MAY MALFUNCTION AFTER THE VEHICLE IS LOCKED AND COULD PREVENT THE ENGINE FROM STARTING. STILL WAITING TO HEAR THE DREADFUL CALL FROM THE DEALER (HAVE TO BE TOWED AND I AM NOT EVEN DONE MAKING PAYMENTS FOR MY 2010 MAXIMA) TO SEE WHAT THE DAMAGE WILL BE OR IF COVERED UNDER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. NOT BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS IN PARK, MEANS IT IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. IF YOU ARE STRANDED WITH A NON RELIABLE CAR, IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE, IT CAN BE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MOUNTAINS OR THE MIDDLE OF A DESERT, NO WAY TO START A CAR IF NO MECHANIC KEY IS ISSUED AND THE ONLY OPTION, THE FOB, IS NOT RECOGNIZED BY YOUR OWN CAR.

STEERING WHEEL LOCK SYSTEM WORKS WITH FAB TURNING ON VEHICLE DISENGAGED AND THE WIRING WAS DETERMINED TO BE THE CULPRIT AND WITHOUT THE REPAIR OF $950 THE CAR WILL NOT TURN ON. THE VEHICLE WAS RUNNING JUST FINE 1 HOUR PRIOR TO LOCKING ME OUT AND CAUSING MANY OF HOURS WITH AAA DIAGNOSTICS, THEN TOWING TO 2 SEPARATE LOCATIONS AND I ASKED THE DEALER IF THIS IS A ROUTINE ISSUE IT SEEMS EXTREME AND A MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH RESULTING IF IT HAPPENED WHEN ON THE ROAD AND NOT IN MY GARAGE TO QUOTE THEIR RESPONSE WAS NO IT WOULDN'T OF DONE IT WHILE DRIVING BUT IT COULD OF DESERTED YOU IN A LOCATION OTHER THAN YOUR HOME CAUSING YOU EVEN FURTHER INCONVENIENCE. THE VEHICLE IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD, I MAINTAIN IT BY OPERATORS MANUAL, I CANNOT EXPLAIN HOW UPSETTING IT IS TO HAVE A VEHICLE WITH THE "AUTO THEFT" SELLING POINT BE A FAULTY MANUFACTURING OF THE ABILITY FOR OWNERS TO START THEIR VEHICLE. THE RANDOM STOP WORKING IS VERY CONCERNING BECAUSE THE STEERING WHEEL CANNOT MOVE. ITS DEFINITELY A VEHICLE THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED FOR THIS SITUATION.

DROVE THE MAXIMA 2010 TO COUSINS HOUSE WAS THERE FOR APPROX 4 HOURS WENT OUT TO COME HOME TRIED TO START THE CAR NOTHING. CHANGED BATTERY'S IN KEY POD AND CHECKED FUSES ALL OK. IT IS SHOWING A KEY IN THE ODOMETER BLINKING AND ONE IN THE RPM GAUGE. READ THE MANUAL AND IT STATED A STEERING LOCK MECH COULD BE FAULTY AND TO TAKE TO A NISSAN DEALER. I HAVE NOTICED THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THIS YEAR AND MODEL AND DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY NISSAN HAS NOT STEPPED UP TO RECALL THIS ISSUE. THE CAR WAS STATIONARY THANK GOD, AND I WAS ABOUT 5 MILES FROM HOME. BUT WHAT IF IT WAS IN A AREA THAT WE DRIVE TO ON OCCASION TO PAY BILLS THAT ARE NOT AS SAFE. SCARY THOUGHT.

I DROVE TO A FRIENDS WAS OUT OF THE VEHICLE ABOUT ONE HOUR.THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED STILL. I RETURNED TO THE VEHICLE AND IT WOULDN'T START. I CALL ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND GOT A TOW TO NISSAN DEALER. I WAS TOLD I HAD TO PAY $115.00 DIAGNOSTIC FEE. THEN THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS MY STEERING LOCK UNIT AND IT WOULD COST ME $1109.09.

TRIED TURNING ON MY VEHICLE AND THE STEERING WHEEL WAS LOCKED. CANNOT START MY VEHICLE, THE BRAKE IS NOT WORKING AND THE STEERING WHEEL IS LOCKED.
