2003 Nissan Maxima Complaint Log

ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO MY 2003 NISSAN MAXIMA'S ENGINE JUST SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. OVER THE NEXT TWO DAYS THIS HAPPENED 3 MORE TIMES. UPON TAKING MY MAXIMA TO BE REPAIRED THE MECHANIC INFORMED ME OF THE RECALL FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THE PROBLEM WAS WITH SENSORS FOR THE CAM, PER THE COMPUTER DIAGNOSTICS. HE THEN INFORMED ME THAT I SHOULD TAKE IT TO A NISSAN DEALER AS THIS WAS A RECALL SITUATION THAT NISSAN SHOULD FIX FOR FREE. UPON TAKING THE MAXIMA TO GURNEE NISSAN IN GURNEE ILLINOIS, I WAS CHARGED $65 DOLLARS FOR DIAGNOSTICS, QUOTED OVER $500 FOR THE REPAIRS AND VEHEMENTLY TOLD THERE IS NO RECALL ON THE 2003 MAXIMAS. I THEN CONTACT NISSAN, AFTER FINDING THE RECALL NOTICE ON THEIR WEBSITE AND A NUMBER TO CALL FOR ASSISTANCE. FOR THE LAST TWO WEEKS I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO DRIVE MY CAR AND HAVE RECEIVED NO ASSISTANCE FROM NISSAN. WHILE I CAN FIND THE RECALL ON THEIR WEBSITE, PROVIDED THE NISSAN RECALL NUMBER FROM THE NISSAN WEBSITE, THEY CONTENDED FIRST IT WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY, THEN IT WAS NOT A GOOD VIN, THEN THE VIN WAS GOOD BUT WAS OUTSIDE THE RANGE FOR THE RECALL, THEN IT WAS IN THE RANGE, BUT DID NOT QUALIFY AND FINALLY TODAY I WAS TOLD, "YOUR VIN IS NOT IN THE RANGE, BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE RANGE OF VINS ARE." *TR

2003 MAXIMA SHUTS OFF WHEN STARTING IT, BACK TO BACK. CAR HAS LESS THAN 80K MILES. MECHANIC SAID IT IS THE CAM SHAFT SENSOR POSITION & THIS CAR IS HORRIBLE. THIS IS A LIFE THREATENING ISSUE AND MUST BE FIXED BY NISSAN ONLY. IT WAS THEIR ERROR. I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT AGAINST NISSAN AS WELL. *TR

2003 NISSAN MAXIMA. CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE STALLED SEVERAL TIMES FOR NO APPARENT REASON NEARLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. *TGW SOON AFTER, THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE DASHBOARD. THE CONSUMER THEN WENT TO A MECHANIC WHO INFORMED HIM, THE PROBLEM WAS A RECALL ISSUE. THE CONSUMER CONTACTED NISSAN AND WAS TOLD NOTHING WAS COMING UP IN THEIR COMPUTER. THE CONSUMER PAID FOR THE REPAIRS OUT OF POCKET, AFTER NISSAN COULD NOT HELP HIM. THE CONSUMER STATED HE IS THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE VEHICLE AND NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE. *JB

AIRBAG BURN/ INJURY ' MY CAR HYDROPLANED AND CRASHED AGAINST CENTER DIVIDER ON FREEWAY DURING RAINY WEATHER. THE DRIVER-SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED UPON CRASH AND CAUSED A BRUISE AND 2ND DEGREE BURN TO MY LEFT ARM (INNER FOREARM). THE BRUISE INJURY WAS FROM THE IMPACT OF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. ADDITIONALLY, THE NISSAN LOGO (DECAL) ON THE STEERING WHEEL IMPACTED MY ARM AND CAUSED A 2ND DEGREE BURN - THIS BURN HAS NOW LEFT A PERMANENT SCAR IN THE SHAPE OF THE NISSAN LOGO ON MY LEFT ARM. I NOTICED THAT THIS IS A DESIGN DEFECT ON THE NISSAN CARS ' THEIR NISSAN LOGO DECALS ARE NOT FLUSH WITH THE STEERING SURFACE (LIKE OTHER CAR MANUFACTURERS) AND HENCE CAN SEVERELY IMPACT THE DRIVER IN CASE OF AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. *TR

APPROXIMATELY A WEEK AFTER A REMOTE STARTER WAS INSTALLED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IN THE VEHICLE CAME ON, INDICATING A PROBLEM WITH THE CAM POSITION SENSOR. THE REMOTE STARTER WAS REMOVED (BYPASSED BY INSTALLERS) AND THE CONDITION BEING EXPERIENCED CONTINUED. THE RESULT IS THE CAR FAILING TO START PROPERLY AND AT TIMES CUTTING OFF WHILE IN OPERATION INCLUDING WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION, WHICH CAN CAUSE A CRASH. THE FAILURE IS STILL BEING EXPERIENCED AND THE CAM POSITION SENSOR WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED. *TR

FAILURE TO START, SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT SOON ON -- TOOK TO SVC STATION, DID DIAGNOSTIC BAD CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR. *TR

I HAVE A 2003 MAXIMA. THE GEARS ARE JERKING REALLY BAD BETWEEN 1ST & 2ND GEAR. THIS IS NOT SUPPOSE TO BE HAPPENING. I'VE READ SO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THESE CARS, WHY IS THERE NOT A RECALL YET? WHEN SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY HURT MAYBE THEN A RECALL WILL BE ISSUED! *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 NISSAN MAXIMA. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED AND THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. THE CONTACT ALSO LOST CONTROL OF THE STEERING WHEEL.

I HAVE A 2003 NISSAN MAXIMA THAT STALLED WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR RESTARTED AFTER A COUPLE OF MINUTES AND I LATER RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM. APPARENTLY, THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THAT PROBLEM (RECALL 03V455) INVOLVING 3 FAULTY SENSORS AND MY VIN FALL INSIDE THE RANGE OF APPLIED VINS JN1DA*1**3T 400002 - 515067. I DID HAVE MY CAR REPAIRED BY NISSAN AT A COST TO ME OF OVER $416 WHEREAS, NISSAN REPLACED TWO OF THE SENSORS. AT THIS TIME, NISSAN INSISTS THAT MY CAR AND VIN DO NOT APPLY. I HAD READ ON THE INTERNET THAT THEY ARE OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND NISSAN REFUSES TO CORRECT THEIR PROBLEM ALSO. I AGREE THAT THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM SINCE THE CAR BEHIND ME CAME CLOSE TO HITTING ME WHEN MY CAR STALLED AND THE DRIVER PROCEEDED TO HONK THE HORN AND SHOUT AND ME. IT IS MY BELIEVE THAT NISSAN HAS NOT BEEN DILIGENT IN THEIR EFFORTS TO GET THIS PROBLEM RESOLVED AND GET THIS UNSAFE CARS OFF THE ROAD. I WOULD LIKE NISSAN TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE BY 1.) REIMBURSING ME FOR THE COST OF MY REPAIRS, 2.)REPAIR THE OTHER FAULTY SENSOR THAT WAS PART OF THE RECALL THAT THEY DID NOT REPAIR THIS TIME AND 3.) REPAIR OTHERS LIKE MINE THAT NISSAN REFUSES TO REPAIR AT THIS TIME. *TR

MY 2003 MAXIMA STALLED OUT TWICE WHILE DRIVING, ONCE WHILE AT A VERY BUSY INTERSECTION DURING RUSH HOUR. MY MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT NISSAN HAD RECALLED THE 2003 MAXIMAS FOR A FAULTY CAM SENSOR THAT CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO STALL. HOWEVER, IN TYPICAL FASHION, NISSAN TOLD ME THAT MY VIN DID NOT FALL UNDER THE RECALL AND THEY WOULD NOT HELP ME. MY MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP INFORMED HIM THAT THE PART WAS ON NATIONAL BACKORDER AND HE COULD NOT REPAIR MY VEHICLE. IN THE MEANTIME, I COULD POSSIBLY BE IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF FAULTY MANUFACTURING. MY MECHANIC ALSO INFORMED ME THAT NISSAN HAS CHANGED THE PART NUMBER, MEANING THAT THE PART IS THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM, WHICH PROVES THAT MY VEHICLE SHOULD BE REPAIRED BY NISSAN. *TR

NISSAN MURANO, 2003 WITH APPROXIMATELY 75,400 MILES. AUGUST 9, 2008, MY DAUGHTER AND WIFE WERE DRIVING THE CAR AND CALLED ME ON MY CELL PHONE VERY EXCITED AND UNSET STATING, ?THE CAR WON?T ACCELERATE AND IT IS JERKING,, WHAT SHOULD WE DO?? I INSTRUCTED THEM TO PARK THE CAR UNTIL I ARRIVE TO CHECK IT OUT I DIDN?T WANT THEM TO GET ONTO THE MAJOR HIGHWAY IN THE HEAVY TRAFFIC. I ARRIVED AND DROVE THE CAR HOME. I PARKED THE CAR IN OUR GARAGE AND DIDN?T DRIVE IT UNTIL MONDAY FOR WORK. HAD NO PROBLEMS THAT DAY AND DROVE IT TO WORK, BOTH WIFE AND I COMMUTE TO THE SAME LOCATION. AFTER WORK ON THIS VERY HEAVILY TRAVELED INTERSTATE ON OUR WAY HOME I EXPERIENCED THE CAR HESITATING AND THE RPM GAGE RIVED UP OVER 4000 RPMS AND THE CAR STARTED TO LURCH AND HESITATE AND HAD NO RESPONSE FROM THE ACCELERATOR. VEHICLE STARTED TO LOSE MOMENTUM SO I EXITED AT THE NEAREST EXIT. I NURSED THE CAR TO A PARKING LOT OFF THE MAIN INTERSTATE AND STOP. I CALLED THE NISSAN DEALER WHERE I JUST HAD THE CAR SERVICED THE WEEK BEFORE AND EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM I WAS HAVING. I INFORMED THE SERVICE REP THE CAR WOULD BE DELIVERED BY A WRECKER SERVICE TO HAVE THE CAR DROPPED OFF; READ CODES AND WOULD GET BACK LATER THE NEXT DAY. I CALLED THE NEXT DAY AND WAS INFORMED THE CODES WERE MANY AND THEY WERE WAITING FOR THE NISSAN HEADQUARTERS TO GIVE THEM SOME INSTRUCTION. WAS INFORMED TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION, COST $5400. THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE A VERY WELL KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE AND NISSAN IS WELL AWARE OF IT. I BLOGGED THE INTERNET, NISSAN MURANO FORUM AND TO MY AMAZEMENT UNCOVERED MANY INDIVIDUALS EXPERIENCING THE VERY PROBLEM WITH MY CAR, TRANSMISSION. I STRONGLY FEEL NISSAN SHOULD HAVE A RECALL ON THE PROBLEM AND INDIVIDUALS SHOULD HAVE THEIR MONIES REFUNDED AND NISSAN SHOULD BE FINED HEAVILY FOR THEIR NEGLECT AND NOT ACCEPTING RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEFECTIVE PRODUCT. *TR

2003 MAXIMA SE 110,000 MILES HAS OIL LEAKING THROUGH SEALS BETWEEN VALVE COVERS AND SPARK PLUG WIRES. ONE IGNITION COIL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE REAL ISSUE IS THAT THE SEALS CANNOT BE REPAIRED OR REPLACED. INSTEAD, THE VALVE COVERS HAVE TO BE RE-PURCHASED ADDING AN EXTRA $290.00 IN PARTS TO A LABOR INTENSIVE BILL. *TR

THE 2002-2003 NISSAN MAXIMA ARE KNOWN TO BE BURNING ENGINE OIL. THERE IS ALSO A SIGNIFICANT FLAW WHICH MAKES THE CAR LEAK ENGINE OIL THROUGH THE VALVE COVERS INTO THE SPARK PLUGS AND WITH THE IGNITION SYSTEM CLOSE BY, THERE IS POTENTIAL FOR FIRE IN THESE VEHICLES. NISSAN OF NORTH AMERICA IS NOT HELPING OR WILLING TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE AND SHRUGS CUSTOMERS BY SAYING ITS NORMAL. IT IS NOT NORMAL TO HAVE LOST 3/4TH OF YOUR ENGINE OIL BY THE TIME NEXT OIL CHANGE IS DUE ! *TR

TL*- THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 NISSAN MAXIMA. ON SEVERAL OCCASION HIS VEHICLE LOST POWER, HOWEVER HE WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND THE VEHICLE TO RESTART. AFTER A FEW MINUTES THE VEHICLE LOSE POWER AGAIN.

ACCORDING TO THE NISSAN SERVICE MANAGER THE SUN ROOF MECHANISM ON MY 2003 NISSAN MAXIMA HAS FAILED DUE TO WARPING OF CABLES. THE REPAIR COST IS ALMOST $2500 AND IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. I'M INTERESTED TO LEARN IF THIS IS A COMMON COMPLAINT ABOUT NISSAN SUN ROOFS, AND IF ANY FIRES OR FAILURES OF THESE SYSTEMS HAVE CAUSED VEHICLE DAMAGE OR SAFETY PROBLEMS. *TR

CAM SENSOR FAILURE. HOW DO I DETERMINE VIN NUMBERS AFFECTED BY NHTSA RECALL 03V455000. *TR

THE XENON HEADLIGHTS ON MY 2003 NISSAN MAXIMA HAVE BECOME CLOUDED WITH DRAMATICALLY REDUCED LIGHTING EFFECTIVENESS. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE ONE HEADLIGHT TWO YEARS AGO, AND THE OTHER NEEDS TO BE REPLACED SHORTLY. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

THE CAR STALLED ON MY WHILE I WAS STILL TRAVELING AT 60MPH AND I LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR. THE VEHICLE STARTED DRIFTING TO THE RIGHT FORCING ME TO GET OFF THE ROAD WHERE IT SUDDENLY STOPPED. A LITTLE SCARY DON'T YOU THINK? THE VEHICLE ALSO HAD THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. I LATER HAD THE CAR DIAGNOSED AND IT PULLED AN PO340 CODE(CAM POSITION SENSOR, CRANK POSITION SENSOR) WHICH WAS SUPPOSEDLY RECALLED BY NISSAN ON OCT 04. MY CAR'S MANUFACTURE DATE WAS 12/02. I CALLED NISSAN CORPORATE AND THEY TOLD ME THAT APPARENTLY MY CAR WASN'T UNDER RECALL WHEN A BUNCH OF OTHER WEBSITES(CARS.COM, INTERNETAUTOGUIDE.COM, NHTSA.GOV). I KNOW THIS DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE WHEN MY LIFE WAS IN DANGER AND I OWN 2 OTHER NISSAN CARS, I DON'T GET WHY A COMPANY WOULDN'T CARE ABOUT ITS LOYAL CUSTOMERS. I AM A COLLEGE STUDENT AND LOOKS LIKE THIS ISSUE IS GOING TO RUN ME $1200.00 WHEN PERSONALLY I DON'T KNOW WHY I NEED TO BE PAYING FOR IT WHILE THE SAME CAR HAS A RECALL ON IT AND THE RECALL HAPPENS TO BE THE SAME PROBLEM MY CAR HAS. PLEASE HELP ME FIGURE THIS OUT. THANKS FOR READING. *TR

THE MURANO LOST ACCELERATION ON THE INTERSTATE AND WOULD NOT GO INTO GEAR; IT CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP ON THE EXIT RAMP BETWEEN I-95 NORTH AND I-26 TOWARD CHARLESTON, SC. I WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE CAR AND HAD TO BE PUSHED "OUT OF HARM'S WAY BY A TRUCKER, AND A COUPLE WHO STOPPED TO HELP. I WAS BROUGHT TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP (20 MILES AWAY IN ORANGEBURG, SC). THE SERVICE DEPT. DETERMINED THAT THE FUEL PUMP SHUT DOWN, STOPPED WORKING. THE PART HAD TO BE ORDERED, AND I HAD TO PAY FOR A RENTAL CAR FROM ENTERPRISE , SO THAT I COULD DRIVE THE REMAINING 3 HOURS BACK TO MY HOME IN TRAVELERS REST (GREENVILLE,-SPARTANBURG AREA). THE PART ARRIVED ON 9-25-2007, AND I DROVE 3 HOURS BACK TO ORANGEBURG TO PICK UP MY CAR AND RETURN THE RENTAL). MY HUSBAND ASKED FOR THE "OLD FUEL PUMP". I HAD TO PAY $350.00 FOR THE PART AND LABOR AND $100 FOR TOWING. THE INSURANCE CO. REIMBURSED FOR TOWING.

CAR WAS BEING OPERATED IN NORMAL FASHION WHEN IT THE ENGINE SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING DURING NORMAL VEHICLE OPERATION. WAS ABLE TO GET CAR OFF OF ROAD SAFELY AND THEN RESTARTED, NOTICED CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. TOOK CAR HOME AND CALLED DEALER TO SEE IF THEY COULD INVESTIGATE.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 NISSAN MAXIMA. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE TIRE DEFLATED THROUGH ITS SIDEWALL. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE, BUT THE NUMBER WAS UNKNOWN. THE CONTACT NO LONGER OWNS THE VEHICLE. THE TIRES WERE GOODYEAR AND THE DOT NUMBER, TIRE LINE, PURCHASE DATE, AND CURRENT MILEAGE WERE UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 24,000.

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE ENGINE HAD DIFFICULTIES STARTING AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY A DEALER WHO REPLACED THE CRANKCASE POSITION SENSOR. AFTERWARDS, THE CHECK ENGINE CONTINUED TO ILLUMINATE. THERE WAS A NHTSA RECALL, # 03V455000, REGARDING THE ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL DUE TO THE VIN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALERTED.

ON FEBRUARY 14TH OF THIS YEAR, DURING A REGULAR TIRE INFLATION INSPECTION, I NOTED THREE BULGES ON THE OUTSIDE SIDEWALL OF THE LEFT FRONT NITTO 450, 225X50X17 TIRE. I IMMEDIATELY KNEW THAT I WAS HAVING A TIRE FAILURE AND THAT IT MUST BE REPLACED ASAP. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE CAR TO DISCOUNT TIRE WHERE THE TIRE HAD BEEN PURCHASED AND THEY REPLACED BOTH FRONT TIRES FOR SOMETHING OVER $300. THE DEFECTIVE TIRE HAS MOSTLY HIGHWAY MILES ON IT AND WAS PURCHASED APRIL 6, 2004. I AM RETIRED AND MOST OF THE MILES WERE ACCUMULATED WHILE ON VACATION. THE TIRE HAD LESS THAN 20,000 MILES ON IT AND HAD SUBSTANTIAL TREAD REMAINING. THE TIRE WAS WELL MAINTAINED AND I CONSIDER ITS FAILURE PREMATURE. SUBSEQUENTLY, I E-MAILED NITTO CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WROTE THE NORTH AMERICAN PRESIDENT OF TOYO, THE TIRE MANUFACTURER. THE E-MAIL AND FOLLOW UP LETTER WERE FORWARDED IN FEBRUARY OF THIS YEAR AND ELICITED NO RESPONSE FROM NITTO OR TOYO. I RETAINED THE TIRE AND HAVE IT IN PROTECTED STORAGE. I AM A FAST DRIVER AND SHUDDER TO THINK WHAT MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED IF THE TIRE HAD FAILED AT SPEED. I AM DEEPLY DISAPPOINTED IN THE LACK OF CARE OR RESPONSE FROM NITTO OR TOYO. *JB

DT: CONTACT STATED A LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON DASHBOARD. SHE CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER. THEY TOLD HER TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A DEALERSHIP. SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A DEALERSHIP. THEY CHECKED THE VEHICLE AND DETERMINED THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. SHE THEN TOOK THE VEHICLE TO ANOTHER MECHANIC, WHO DETERMINED THAT EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WAS LEAKING. THE LIGHT STAYED ON ALL THE TIME.*AK

I BOUGHT A 2003 MAXIMA SE OCTOBER 2005. MY LEFT SIDE SPEAKERS WOULD CUT IN AND OUT ONLY ON THE CD PLAYER. I FOUND THE TSB ON THIS AND HAD ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR 5 DAYS. SALESMAN TOLD ME I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR A NEW ONE AND HAD TO GET THE MANAGER TO SEND MY RADIO OFF TO A PLACE TO GET REPAIRED. ONE MONTH LATER IT QUIT WORKING AGAIN. I HAVE READ ON NUMEROUS WEB SITES ABOUT THE WAY NISSAN TREATS PEOPLE WITH THIS PROBLEM. I CANNOT AFFORD TO SHELL OUT $600 FOR A NEW NISSAN RADIO THAT WILL BREAK IN A FEW MONTHS ANYWAY. AND AN AFTERMARKET RADIO TAKES AWAY FROM THAT ORIGINAL LOOK FOR ME. CAN THEY NOT REPLACE IT WITH THE 2002 RADIO (A NEW ONE ) BECAUSE I HAVEN'T HEARD ANY COMPLAINTS ON THAT YEAR. THE DEALERSHIP WAS CROWN PONTIAC IN HOOVER, ALABAMA. THEY PROMISED ME A TOUCH UP ON THE FRONT BUMPER AND HOOD BECAUSE OF THE PAINT CHIPS AND TO REDO THE TITANIUM WHEELS BECAUSE THE FINISH WAS RUBBED OFF AND THE RIMS WERE TURNING BLACK. NO TOUCH UP, HAD A GUY COME AND FIX 3 OF THE WHEELS AND TOLD ME TO BRING THE OTHER ONE TO THE SHOP AND HE WOULD HAVE TO WORK ON IT OVERNIGHT FOR $100. SO I HAVE ONE RIM THAT DOES NOT MATCH. I HAD TO SHELL OUT $80 FOR FLOOR MATS. EVEN BOUGHT THE $1800 EXTENDED WARRANTY. SO FOR SPENDING $22000 ON A 2003 CAR, BROKEN CD PLAYER, UGLY RIM, HALF THE PAINT IS MISSING FROM THE TOUCH UP I NEVER RECEIVED. THEY WERE SO NICE BEFORE I GOT THE CAR, BUT AS SOON AS THE PAPER WAS SIGNED, ALL I GOT WAS SORRY THAT WILL COST YOU. ALL I WANT IS FOR MY CD PLAYER TO WORK AND REDO ONE RIM. I CANNOT GET THAT OR EVEN 1 OF 2 WOULD BE OKAY. *JB

I WAS STOPPED BEHIND A PICKUP TRUCK WHEN I WAS HIT FROM BEHIND. UPON IMPACT, MY 2003 NISSAN MAXIMA WAS SLAMMED INTO THE PICKUP TRUCK. THE IMPACT TO BOTH THE BACK AND FRONT OF MY CAR CAUSED THE PASSENGER'S SIDE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY, BUT NOT THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG. I AM HAPPY TO SAY THAT I WALKED AWAY FROM THE ACCIDENT. HOWEVER....FOR AN AIR BAG TO FAIL TO DEPLOY WHEN A CAR IS HIT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FRONT BUMPER . . . WITH ENOUGH FORCE TO TOTAL THE VEHICLE . . . . IS VERY CONCERNING. TWO DAYS AFTER THE ACCIDENT, I CALLED NISSAN AND PATIENTLY RECOUNTED THE EVENTS OF THE ACCIDENT INCLUDING SPECIFIC VEHICLE INFORMATION, DRIVER INFORMATION, STREET LOCATIONS AND POLICE CASE NUMBER. AFTER 33 MINUTES OF ANSWERING QUESTIONS, I WAS TOLD THAT MY NISSAN CASE #507-46-73 WOULD BE FORWARDED TO AN 'AIR BAG SPECIALIST.' I WAS NOT PERMITTED TO SPEAK TO ANYONE AT THAT TIME ACCEPT THE INFORMATION GATHERING PHONE AGENT. ON A WEEKDAY, DURING BUSINESS HOURS, THERE WAS NOBODY IN A POSITION OF RESPONSIBILITY WHO I COULD BE TRANSFERRED TO, NOT EVEN A SUPERVISOR. SO AS I SIT HERE FIVE WEEKS LATER,I HAVE DECIDED TO FORWARD THE DETAILS TO THE NHTSA IN HOPES THAT YOU CAN IMPROVE UPON THE GENERAL APATHY AT NISSAN AND HAVE SOMEONE STAND AND TAKE NOTICE OF THE ONLY SALIENT POINT OF MY WHOLE CALL TO NISSAN: YOUR EQUIPMENT MALFUNCTIONED...CALL ME. AT THIS POINT, I HAVE PURCHASED A NEW VEHICLE (NOT A NISSAN) AND HAVE MOVED ON, BUT MY HOPE IS THAT IF SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED DUE TO AN AIRBAG DEFECT, THAT THEY CAN REFERENCE MY EXPERIENCE SO THEY CAN TAKE NISSAN TO THE CLEANERS. MAYBE THEN NISSAN WILL FINALLY BOTHER TO TAKE AN INTEREST IN THEIR PRODUCT. *NM

AFTER DRIVING AND PARKING CAR IN GARAGE I DETECTED STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE. RETURNED TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS HAPPENS WHEN TEMPERATURE IS HIGH (120F THAT DAY) AND THAT THERE IS NO FIX. SINCE CAR IS PARKED NEXT TO A GAS WATER HEATER I FOUND THIS ANSWER UNSATISFACTORY AND I CONTACTED THE NISSAN OFFICE. I WAS TOLD SAME AND "NOT TO WORRY, TEMPS. RARELY ARE HIGHER THAN 115F". OBVIOUSLY DRIVERS IN S. NV AND ARIZONA ARE EXPENDABLE! ONLY FIX SEEMS TO BE TO PARK OUTSIDE UNTIL IT COOLS DOWN. PROBLEM IS RELATED TO THE EVAP. SYSTEM , I WAS TOLD. *TR

DT: THE CONSUMER STATED ON 2003 NISSAN MAXIMA THE REAR BRAKES WENT OUT AT 27,000 MILES. AFTER THEY WERE FIXED IN JUNE THERE WAS A CLICKING NOISE COMING FROM THEM. THE VEHICLE DIED ON JULY 11, 2005, WHILE IN TRAFFIC. SHE PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER AND AFTER 5 TRIES THE VEHICLE FINALLY STARTED. THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE WENT ALL THE WAY TO HOT, AND THE SET LIGHT CAME ON. THE DEALER STATED THAT 7 SERVICE CODES CAME UP AND THEY STATED THAT THE COMPUTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. ABOUT 10 MILES BEFORE THIS HAPPENED THE VEHICLE SURGED, BUT NO LIGHTS CAME ON. IT WAS A REALLY HOT DAY, SHE WAS GOING ABOUT 60 MPH. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOR BOTH ISSUES. *AK

THIS IS A MILEAGE ISSUE. I BOUGHT ON JULY 8, 2005 FROM EMPIRE NISSAN, ONTARIO, CA A 2003 350-Z VEHICLE THAT A AN ODOMETER READING OF 11684. ON JULY 11, MY INSURANCE AGENT CHECKED ON LINE WITH CARFAX ON THE HISTORY OF THIS CAR. PER CARFAX REPORT, MILEAGE AS OF DEC. 15, 2003 WAS 12,243 AND AS OF MARCH 2, 2004, IT WAS 12, 244. UPON CARFAX ADVICE, WE CAN EITHER NOTIFY YOUR OFFICE OR THE CALIFORNIA DEPT OF MOTOR VEHICLE. DMV ADVISED US TO BRING IT TO THE DEALER'S ATTENTION BECAUSE THEIR RECORDS ONLY SHOW 1 REGISTRATION UPON THE PURCHASE OF THE FIRST ORIGINAL BUYER. THEN, THE MILEAGE WAS 8 MILES. IT HAS NOT BEEN SMOGGED NOR RE-REGISTERED. I HAVE BROUGHT THE MATTER TO EMPIRE NISSAN ON THE EVENING OF JULY 13, 2005. I WAS ASKED TO WAIT AND THEY SAID THEY WILL RESEARCH THE MATTER & CALL ME ON JULY 14, 2005. I GOT A CALL AND AM GOING THERE IN THE EVENING. I WAS TOLD BY OTHER DEALERS THAT I HAVE THE RIGHT TO RETURN THE CAR & BE REIMBURSED FOR EVERYTHING. PLEASE HELP ME. WHAT IS THE RIGHT RECOURSE FOR THIS CASE?

MY BATTERY/BRAKE LIGHTS WENT ON MY 2003 NISSAN MURANO AND THE ENGINE DIED WHILE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY. I LOST MY BRAKES AND STEERING AND ALMOST CAUSED A BIG ACCIDENT ON THE HIGHWAY WITH SPEEDING CARS BEHIND ME GOING 55-65 MPH. I WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR AGAIN BUT IT DIED AT THE ENTRANCE OF A ONE LANE ROAD LEADING TO THE FDR DRIVE IN NEW YORK CITY. WORSE IS THAT THERE A BIG CONSTRUCTION UNDER THE 59TH ST. BRIDGE AND I WAS STUCK RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS CONSTRUCTION AND CAUSED A MAJOR, MAJOR TRAFFIC FROM YORK AVENUE TILL FDR. I HAD TO BE PUSHED OUT OF FDR (AWDS CANNOT BE TOWED) AND HAD TO PAY THE TOW TRUCK. AFTER THAT I HAD TO CALL A FLATBED TO BRING MY CAR TO THE DEALER. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED LONG TIME AGO SO PEOPLE DO NOT GO THRU WHAT I WENT THRU. DO YOU HAVE TO WAIT TILL PEOPLE DIE ON THE HIGHWAY? THE ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY WAS REPLACED BY DEALER SINCE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY. I WAS CHARGED FOR THE NEW BATTERY! AND OF COURSE, I HAD TO PAY FOR THE TOWING.

AT TIMES, DOORS LOCKS BY THEMSELVES. CHILD WAS TRAPPED IN CAR. 1993 NISSAN QUEST. *NM

2003 NISSAN MAXIMA EXPERIENCED CLUTCH FAILURE @ 23,000 MILES WITH NORMAL WEAR. CAR HAS ORIGINAL TIRES AND WAS DRIVEN BY AN EXPERIENCED DRIVER. OUR EXPERIENCE HAS BEEN THAT CLUTCHES NORMALLY LAST MORE THEN 75,000 MILES. THIS WAS A $900.00 REPAIR ON A TWO YEAR OLD CAR AND NISSAN OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE.*AK

HORRIBLE NOISES COMING FROM THE BRAKES. I WENT BY THE A NISSAN DEALER TO HAVE THEM CHECK IT OUT SINCE THE CAR HAD ONLY 25500 MILES ON IT. THEY SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL AND THAT THE BRAKES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED FOR BOTH FRONT AND REAR. I FEEL THAT THIS 2003 NISSAN MAXIMA SHOULD NOT HAVE HAD SUCH A PROBLEM WITH SO LITTLE MILES ON THEM, AND FROM MY TALKS WITH OTHERS. I HEARD THAT THEIR HAVE BEEN A LOT OF BRAKE REPAIRS GOING ON AT THIS NISSAN DEALER. I JUST FEEL THAT THE TOP OF THE LINE CAR AT NISSAN SHOULD NOT HAVE THIS KIND OF PROBLEM. I WAS GIVING THEM ANOTHER CHANCE SINCE MY OTHER 2000 MAXIMA HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM BUT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THOSE ROTORS AND BRAKES. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH NISSAN NOW AND MAY NOT BUY ANOTHER OF THEIR PRODUCTS AGAIN. *JB

AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT REMAINED LIT. DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED, BUT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. *AK

HEADLIGHTS STOLEN FROM VEHICLE TWICE IN 4 MONTHS. APRIL 15, 2004 AND SEPTEMBER 1, 2004. BECAUSE OF DESIGNE HEAD LIGHTS CAN BE REMOVED QUICKLY WITH A LONG SHARP OBJECT.*AK

I LOCKED MY CAR WHEN UNDERWAY. WHEN I STOPPED AND ATTEMPTED TO OPEN MY DRIVER'S DOOR, THE DOOR WOULD NOT UNLOCK EVEN THOUGH THE DOOR LOCK INDICATED IT WAS UNLOCKED. I COULD NOT OPEN THE DOOR MANUALLY AND EXITED THROUGH THE WINDOW. THE DOOR WOULD NOT UNLOCK MANUALLY FROM THE OUTSIDE. I CALLED MY ROAD SERVICE AND THEY COULD NOT GET THE DOOR TO OPEN. I AM TAKING THE CAR TO THE DEALER BUT MUST ENTER THROUGH THE WINDOW.*AK

THE HEADLIGHTS TO A 2003 NISSAN MAXIMA HAVE BEEN STOLEN ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS. ON BOTH OCCSSIONS THE THIEFS BENT THE INTERNAL METAL FRAME THAT MOUNTS THE BUMPER TO THE CAR TO PROVIDE ACCESS TO THE HEADLIGHT FROM BELOW. THIS FRAME IS A SHEET METAL STAMPING THAT CAN EASILY BE BENT BY APPLYING A SMALL AMOUNT OF A PERSONS BODY WEIGHT TO THE STRUCTURE. THE SHEET METAL CONSTRUCTION OF THE FENDER AND HOOD ALSO ALLOW A THIEF TO GAIN ACCESS TO THE HEADLIGHT BY FORCIBLY BENDING BACK THESE STRUCTURES. THE PLASTIC BRACKET THAT HOUSES THE HEADLIGHT AND MOUNTS IT TO THE FRAME OF THE CAR IS SHATTERED BY PRYING IT FROM THE FRAME WITH A TOOL. THIS PLASTIC STRUCTURE IS NOT SUFFICIENTLY STRONG ENOUGH TO DETER A THIEF FROM STEALING THE HEADLIGHT. THERE IS AN ADDITIONAL SHEET METAL STRUCTURE THAT MOUNTS THE PLASTIC HEADLIGHT HOUSING TO THE FRAME OF THE CAR. THIS STRUCTURE HAS AN ELECTRICAL BOX ATTACHED TO IT. IN BOTH CASES OF THEFT THIS STRUCTURE WAS FORCIBLY BENT BACK TO ACCESS THE REAR OF THE HEADLIGHT FOR REMOVAL. THIS STRUCTURE TOO IS NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO PREVENT A THIEF FROM FORCIBLY GAINING ACCESS TO THE HEADLIGHT. IT IS WORTH MENTIONING THAT THE ABOVE MENTIONED STRUCTURES WERE COMPROMISED SO EASILY, THIS VEHICLE'S ARMED, PROPERLY FUNCTIONING, FACTORY EQUIPPED ALARM SYSTEM WAS NOT SET OFF DURING THE THEFT. AFTER THE FIRST OCCURRENCE, I BROUGHT THE CAR TO POUGHKEEPSIE NISSAN FOR THEM TO INSTALL THE 'ANTI-THEFT DEVICE'. I DON'T KNOW IF OR WHAT WAS DONE BUT OBVIOUSLY IT DID NOT DETER THE THIEF(S). I HAVE BEEN FINANCIALLY BURDENED BY THIS. NOT ONLY DO I HAVE TO PAY A DEDUCTIBLE BUT HAVE TO RENT A CAR.*AK

WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH CONSUMER LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND CRASHED INTO A CEMENT WALL. UPON IMPACT, AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. DRIVER SUSTAINED MAJOR INJURIES, AND WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE HOSPITAL BY AMBULANCE. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. *AK
