2002 Nissan Maxima Problems

[XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

When I first purchased this car I had immediate problems with the power steering fluid. The check engine light has remained on the entire time. But the car was hemorrhaging fluid, groaning, whining, and my steering was becoming extremely loose. I call the dealer that sold me the car, because I dropped 4 grand on what seemed like a nice vehicle with under 100k on it. Well, I bought the car right off the lot and they refused to repair it. Cool, I respect that. IF the inspection reports and other papers are clearly falsified. It couldn't have passed inspection under normal situations. But since the dealer owns their own shop, they could slap stickers on busted vehicles and send them off to be sold. Eventually they do me " A favor" by replacing the power steering actuator/pump hoses & did work on towards a DTC code P0550. They give me that favor by charging me only for the parts, no labor. Totally cool, if work was done. It still has the same electrical tape in areas that was "fixed". They clear my codes and off I go. Engine light cuts on again and I'm having the same issues. My power steering fluid looks like it's boiling or bubbling as well. Still getting the P0550 code as my main DTC. Except now, I'm having major problems and my car has been sitting for a month. Not sure if the leaky fluid corroded components from before. As of now I'm throwing DTCs for P0171, P0305, P0550 (twice), believe I have a vacuum leak, my exhaust system is damaged internally from the misfire codes and has also broken apart near the rear muffler, among other pending codes. Lastly, I was coming home from work and my car completely loses power and bogs waaaay down. Engine light is flashing and I have no control or power. I limp home, park the car, and haven't drove it since other than for test drives. After countless repairs for the same issues, among new repairs and issues I'm broke. Issues started on 3/24 through 12/21 Not had this car for a year and it's been a constant pain ever since.

Driving vehicle on road and the accelerator pedal no longer working vehicle. coasted to the side. Car had to be towed. Vehicle cranking without problem but will not accelerate pedal goes to floor. At consideration of purchase of vehicle, car fax and all details about vehicle were viewed for possible purchase. Items on recall are now a concern as a safety issue.

The contact owned a 2002 Nissan Maxima. The contact received notifications of NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V-008000 (Air Bags) and would like to be removed from the recall distribution list as he is no longer the owner of the vehicle. The local dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was contacted.

THERE IS AN AIR LEAK IN THE REAR DRIVER SIDE WINDOW. I AM WORRIED THIS IS GOING TO CONSISTENTLY GET WORSE AND HAVE MY WINDOW SHATTER AT SOME POINT. AFTER READING ANOTHER COMPLAINT OF THE SAME PROBLEM I FELT COMPELLED TO FILE ONE OF MY OWN. I REPORTED THIS TO MY DEALER AND THEY HAVE NOT LOOKED INTO THE PROBLEM. WHILE IN FOR SERVICE, ANOTHER CUSTOMER WAS COMPALINING OF THE SAME PROBLEM. EVERY PERSON THAT SITS IN THE BACK SEAT NOTICES A VERY DISTINCT AIR LEAK IN THIS WINDOW. *AK

ELECTRIC SEAT WILL NOT MOVE FORWARD IT GOES UP AND DOWN RECLINES AND GOES UP. BUT I CANNOT GET IT TO MOVE FORWARD. SINCE I NEVER CHANGE MY DRIVING POSITION AND HAVE NO NEED TO MOVE IT. IT SHOULD STILL WORK. MY CAR IS IN PRIME CONDITION EVERYTHING ON THE CAR IS IN WORKING AND EXCELLENT CONDITION. DEALER SAID I HAVE TO GET A NEW "SEAT AND TRACK; I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THEN NEVER REMOVED THE TWO BOLTS AND LOOKED TO SEE IF THE WIRE MAY HAVE COME OFF THE UNIT? 2000.00 DOLLARS TO REPAIR SOUND LIKE A RIP OFF. YOUR THOUGHTS. BG

DRIVER'S SEAT FAILED ON IMPACT WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE. SEAT WENT INTO FULL RECLINE POSITION WHICH CAUSED THE DRIVER TO BE THROWN OUT OF HIS SEATBELT AND THROUGH THE BACK WINDSHIELD. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 NISSAN MAXIMA EQUIPPED WITH BRIDGESTONE TURANZA TIRES, LINE SIZE P215/55/R17. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WERE CRACKS IN THE SIDEWALL OF ALL FOUR TIRES. THE TIRE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE TIRES WERE NOT REPLACED.THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 67,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 68,000.

PURCHASED 2002 NISSAN MAXIMA WITH UNDER 30K MILES 11/09. AT 35K MILES HAD TRANSMISSION SERVICED. NOW THE TRANSMISSION IS COMPLETELY SHOT AT 38K MILES. NISSAN IS REFUSING TO ADMIT A DEFECT OR A FAULT WHEN THERE ARE OVER 100K COMPLAINTS ONLINE TO VARIOUS WEBSITES AND THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE IS PATHETIC AND OFFENSIVE. THE VEHICLE HAS LOST 3RD AND 4TH GEAR AND IS LOSING 2ND SLOWLY BUT SURELEY. THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED YET NISSAN IS DENYING THE CLAIM BECAUSE OF THE YEAR IT IS. A QUICK SEARCH OF GOOGLE TELLS ME THAT 2002-2006 NISSAN MAXIMAS HAVE HORRIBLE TRANSMISSION ISSUES. THIS SHOULD BE ESCALATED TO A RECALL DUE TO THE DANGERS OF HAVING THE TRANSMISSION DROP OUT OR HAVING IT CATCH FIRE WHICH WILL HAPPEN IF I CONTINUE TO DRIVE MY CAR THE WAY IT IS. I CANNOT AFFORD A $2500 TRANSMISSION WITH THE ECONOMY THE WAY IT IS. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO MAKE THIS RIGHT. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA SE. I BOUGHT MY CAR USED WITH 98,000 MILES ON IT. FOR THE FIRST YEAR IT WAS GREAT BUT THEN IT JUST STARTED GOING DOWN HILL. WHEN I WOULD SLOW DOWN A LITTLE BIT TO ABOUT 10 MPH AND THEN PRESS ON THE GAS THE CAR WOULD BUCK. WHEN I WOULD GO IN REVERSE AND STOP AND PUT IT IN DRIVE THE WOULD NOT GO INTO GEAR FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS AND WHEN IT WOULD FINALLY GO INTO GEAR IT WOULD MAKE THE CAR BUCK. THEN THINGS JUST KEPT GETTING WORSE AND WORSE. THE CAR WOULD BUCK IN EVERY UP-SHIFT AND EVERY DOWN SHIFT. FINALLY THE OTHER DAY I WAS DRIVING AND IT WOULDN'T EVEN HIT 3RD GEAR THE ENGINE WOULD JUST REV UP AND THEN BANG INTO GEAR. NOW THE OTHER DAY IT WONT EVEN GO INTO 3RD GEAR IT WILL JUST REV UNTIL I MANUALLY PUT IT INTO 3RD. THE REASON I AM PUTTING THIS COMPLAINT IN IS BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION ON ONLINE FORUMS AND BASICALLY EVERYONE WITH THE SAME CAR IS HAVING THE SAME EXACT PROBLEMS!! PLEASE MAKE SOMETHING HAPPEN WITH THIS. IT HAS TO BE A FACTORY DEFECT. *TR
