2001 Nissan Maxima Problems

THE LOWER RADIATOR SUPPORT BAR AND SURROUNDING LOWER STRUCTURE STARTED RUSTING AWAY AFTER ABOUT 4-5 YEARS FROM NEW. THE LOWER RADIATOR SUPPORT IS NOW ALMOST ENTIRELY GONE. THE DEALER QUOTED $5400 TO REPAIR. I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE REP THAT IF/WHEN THE CORE SUPPORT LET GO, THE ENGINE COULD FALL CAUSING A WRECK.

THE LOWER RADIATOR SUPPORT BEAM RUSTED OUT CAUSING THE ENGINE SUPPORT TO BRAKE FREE FROM THE BEAM. NOW THE ENTIRE LOWER SUPPORT BEAM NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT AN EXTREMELY HIGH COST OF LABOR AND PARTS. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ACCORDING TO ALL THE CAR WEBSITES AND THE YOUTUBE VIDEOS SHOWING HOW TO CHANGE OUT THE BEAM. I DO NOT SEE ANY RECALLS FOR THIS. FOR AS MANY PEOPLE WHO SEEM TO HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED. PEOPLE WERE HAVING THIS PROBLEM 5 YRS AGO ACCORDING TO THE VIDEOS AND REPORTS. ACCORDING TO THE BODY SHOP THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM AND THEY HAVE SEEN A LOT OF THIS TYPE OF CORROSION ISSUES WITH THIS NISSAN MODEL AND YEAR. ACCORDING TO WHAT I HAVE BEEN TOLD A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT CAN OCCUR WHILE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE IF THE BEAM BREAKS WHILE IN MOTION AT HIGH SPEED. THERE ARE STILL A LARGE NUMBER OF THIS YEAR AND MAKE ON THE STREET AND NO WARNINGS HAVE BEEN GIVEN TO THE PUBLIC.

I SEE ON YOUR WEBSITE MY MODEL YEAR 2001 NISSAN MAXIMA WAS RECALLED FOR AIR BAGS. I HAVE NEVER BEEN NOTIFIED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE AIR BAGS. ALSO THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE SUSPENSION CONTROL ARM TRANSVERSE LINK PINS. I DON'T EVER REMEMBER SEEING A RECALL FOR THAT EITHER

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 NISSAN MAXIMA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE CONTACT HEARD A CONSTANT KNOCKING SOUND COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE BRAKES WERE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THEY TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE AND DIAGNOSED IT AS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE DEALER CLAIMED TO HAVE REPAIRED THE VEHICLE; HOWEVER, THE NOISE RECURRED AND THE CONTACT ALSO BEGAN EXPERIENCING STEERING FAILURE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE RECENT FAILURE WAS DUE TO THE LOWER ARM SUSPENSION. SHE FOUND A RECALL REGARDING THE SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER ARM, BUT NISSAN STATED THAT HER VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE CONTACT BELIEVES THAT HER VIN SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE RECALL NUMBER WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 125,000.

NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASES NEW IN '01. FROM REPLACING THE ALTERNATOR, STRONG SHUTTER IN BREAKS EVEN AFTER REPLACING TWICE AND NEEDS AGAIN, REPLACED REAR OXYGEN SENSORS TWICE WITH NOW A THIRD NEEDED, REPLACED MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR, AND NOW VEHICLE IS OUT OF COMMISSION DUE TO NEEDING A NEW COMPUTER SYSTEM, IDLE SPEED CONTROL SENSOR, AND REAR O2 SENSORS(AGAIN)! ALSO A LEAKING POWER STEERING PUMP AND POWER WINDOW MOTORS ARE NEAR DEATH. I UNDERSTAND WEAR AND TEAR ON A VEHICLE BUT THIS IS AN EXTREME CASE! POTENTIAL EPA ISSUES DUE TO THE OXYGEN SENSORS FAILING TIME AFTER TIME. *CN

I WAS TRAVELING ON SOUTH BOWENS MILL RD. IN DOUGLAS GA WHEN A VEHICLE THAT HAVE ON THEIR TURN SIGNAL INVOLVED ME HITTING THE BACK OF HER VEHICLE. THERE WASN'T MUCH DAMAGE TO HER VEHICLE BUT MY VEHICLE WAS DAMAGED SEVERELY. THE AIRBAG SHOULD'VE CAME OUT BUT DIDN'T. IN 2015, I RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM NISSAN STATING THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON NISSAN AIRBAGS, SO I IMMEDIATELY TOOK MY CAR TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN TIFTON, GA. I'M NOT EVEN SURE IF THEY REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE AIRBAG OR NOT BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP WAS ABOUT TO CLOSE WHEN THEY BEGAN TO WORK ON MY VEHICLE. MY APPOINTMENT WAS AT 9AM AND I DIDN'T GET OUT OF THEIR TO CLOSING. THE EMPLOYEES WAS READY TO GO ABOUT THE TIME THEY BEGAN TO WORK ON MY VEHICLE. HOWEVER, LOOKING AT THE DAMAGES TO MY VEHICLE, THE AIRBAG SHOULD'VE CAME OUT BUT IT DIDN'T. I WILL BE SUBMITTING PHOTOS OF DAMAGES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 NISSAN MAXIMA EQUIPPED WITH A WEBASTO HOLLANDIA 700 AFTERMARKET SUNROOF. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH WHEN HE HEARD A LOUD, ABNORMAL BANGING FROM THE ROOF OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT LOOKED INTO THE REAR VIEW MIRROR AND NOTICED THAT THE SUN ROOF HAD FRACTURED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO HAVE THE FAILURE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND THE CONTACT WAS TOLD THAT HIS EQUIPMENT WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10V421000 (VISIBILITY:SUN ROOF ASSEMBLY). THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 88,000.

IN FEB. 2008, MY MAXIMA 2001, WITH 55000 MILES, STALLED OUT AT A STOP LIGHT--IT WOULD START UP AGAIN BUT THEN STALLED OUT WHEN I TRIED TO GO. IT WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND THE IAC VALVE AND THE ECM WERE BOTH REPLACED FOR ABOUT $1700. THEN, ON OCT. 20, 2008, 8 MONTHS LATER WITH THE MILEAGE JUST UNDER 60,000 MILES, THE SAME THING HAPPENED BUT IT WAS PRECEDED BY A SMELL OF BURNING RUBBER. IT WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE ENGINE HARNESS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED ($2000 PARTS AND LABOR) AND THE IAC VALVE AND THE ECM AGAIN NEEDED TO REPLACED (ANOTHER $1700). AT FIRST, THE DEALER SAID THAT THE IAC VALVE AND ECM WERE COVERED UNDER THE NEW PARTS WARRANTY, BUT THEN I WAS TOLD THAT IF IT WAS THE ENGINE HARNESS THAT WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FAILURE OF THE IAC VALVE AND THE ECM, THEY WERE NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND I'D HAVE TO PAY THE TOTAL BILL OF $3700! I STARTED A CASE FILE WITH NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND WAS TOLD BY A REGIONAL SPECIALIST THAT NISSAN COULD DO NOTHING FOR ME SINCE THE PARTS WERE NOT UNDER WARRANTY. FROM THE INTERNET (AND NOT FROM THE DEALERSHIP), I LEARNED THAT THE ECM IS COVERED UNDER THE EPA SPECIFIED MAJOR EMISSION CONTROL COMPONENTS WARRANTY FOR 8 YEARS/80,000 MILES BUT NISSAN HAS DECLINED MY CLAIM, SAYING THAT THE IAC VALVE CAUSED THE FAILURE OF THE ECM THAT FIRST TIME IN FEB. 2008, SO THE ECM IS NOT COVERED BY THAT WARRANTY. THERE IS NO LANGUAGE IN THE EPA WARRANTY THAT STATES THAT AS AN EXCLUSION AND THERE IS NO LANGUAGE IN NISSAN'S OWN NEW PARTS WARRANTY THAT STATES THAT AS AN EXCLUSION (I.E., A NEW PART IS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY IF ITS FAILURE IS CAUSED BY ANOTHER NON-WARRANTED PART). I HAVE READ ONLINE MANY, MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE FAILURE OF THESE PARTS. THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY DANGEROUS DESIGN DEFECT WITH THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE SERIOUS HARM. BOTH TIMES I NARROWLY AVOIDED ACCIDENTS. NISSAN HASN'T BEEN WILLING TO HONOR THE WARRANTIES. I HAVE YET TO AUTHORIZE THE REPAIRS AND I AM NOT SURE WHAT TO DO NEXT. *TR

IMMORAL CAR COMPANY! NISSAN, THE NEXT BIG BAILOUT. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START MY VEHICLE, THE KEY SENSOR LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. I NOTIFIED MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND DESCRIBED THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER INDICATED THERE WAS A FAILURE OF THE SECURITY SYSTEM INVOLVING THE STEERING LOCK UNIT. HE ALSO ADVISED THE NISSAN CORP. WAS WELL AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM INVOLVING THE MAKE AND MODEL GIVEN. BECAUSE OF THIS COMMON OCCURRENCE HE SAID NISSAN ISSUED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE MALFUNCTIONING SYSTEM. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A CERTIFIED MECHANIC WHERE THE STEERING LOCK FAILURE WAS DIAGNOSED. I THEN CONTACTED NISSAN NORTH AMERICA INC WITH THE DIAGNOSES FOR THEM TO ADVISE THE NEXT STEP FOR THE REPAIRS. OF COURSE THEY SAID IT HAD TO BE DIAGNOSED/CONFIRMED BY A CERTIFIED NISSAN MECHANIC/DEALER. SINCE I USED MY INSURANCE COMPANY TO TOW MY VEHICLE, I HAD NO OTHER MEANS OF GETTING THE VEHICLE TO A NISSAN DEALER. THE CLERK I SPOKE WITH AT NISSAN NORTH AMERICA INFORMED ME TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A NISSAN DEALER AND IF THE PROBLEM WAS THE SAME AS STATED IN THE EXTENDED WARRANTY, THEY WOULD REIMBURSE ME FOR THE TOW BILL AND REPAIRS. AFTER $1710.93 AND THREE LONG, LONG, LONG PHONE CALLS LATER, HERE I AM WRITING A COMPLAINT BECAUSE I WAS NOT FULLY REIMBURSED AS PROMISED. THE PREVIOUS TOTAL INCLUDES THE REPAIR COST, TOW BILL AND RENTAL CAR COST. HOWEVER I MUST SAY I WAS PARTIALLY REIMBURSED FOR SOME OF MY EXPENSES. (THE TOW BILL FROM ONE CERTIFIED MECHANIC TO ANOTHER.) *TR

I WANTED TO BRING TO YOU NOTICE THAT, CARX LOCATED AT 7880 TYLERSVILLE SQ DR, WEST CHESTER OH 45069-4688, (513) 777-7945 IS SELLING LOW QUALITY "FEDERAL" BRAND TIRES. NHTSA (NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY AGENCY) HAS RATED MORE THAN 2,400 LINES OF TIRES AND THE "FEDERAL TIRE" BRAND SOLD BY CARX DOES NOT EVEN APPEAR ON THEIR LIST!! CHECK IT OUT FOR YOURSELF AT THIS PAGE (DROP DOWN LIST)HTTP://WWW.SAFERCAR.GOV/TIRES/PAGES/TIRERATINGS.CFM. I AM NOT SURE IF THE "FEDERAL" TIRE COMPLIES WITH NHTSA DEVELOPED TIRE SAFETY GRADING SYSTEM, KNOWN AS THE "UNIFORM TIRE QUALITY GRADING SYSTEM (UTQGS)", THAT ALLOWS CONSUMERS TO COMPARE TIRE TREADWEAR, TRACTION PERFORMANCE, AND TEMPERATURE RESISTANCE. THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT REQUIRES TIRE MANUFACTURERS TO GRADE THEIR TIRES IN THESE THREE AREAS AND PLACE THE INFORMATION ON THE SIDEWALL OF THE TIRE. CAN YOU PLEASE ADVICE REGARDING A RETAILER SELLING TIRES NOT LISTED IN THE NHTSA DATABASE ?? I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE TIRES SINCE THESE TIRES ARE NOT LISTED IN NHTSA DATABASE ...... MOREOVER, I DID NOT EVEN FIND THE 'FEDERAL' BRAND TIRES LISTED IN THE TOP 25 (TWENTY FIVE) TIRE BRANDS. THE TIRE PRESSURE IS NOT CONSISTENT AND HAS TO BE FILLED EVERY FEW DAYS ... TOOK THE CAR TO CARX AND THEY DON'T SEEM TO CARE. *NM
