2006 Nissan Maxima Driver assistance Problems

I BOUGHT THIS 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA SL WITH 137,806 MILES. I DROVE IT HOME. THE NEXT DAY, IT WOULD NOT START, I WENT AND BOUGHT A BATTERY, ON THE WAY THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON., THEN THE TCS AND SLIP LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC SHOP, HE KEEP IT ALMOST 4 WEEKS, AND THEN TOLD ME IT WAS NOT WORTH FIXING/REPAIRING IT. I COULD NOT BELIEVE, I JUST SPENT OVER $4,000.00 ON THIS CAR AND I ONLY DROVE IT HOME!!, I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER WELL KNOWN MECHANIC SHOP, HE TELLS ME THAT IT NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION, MOTOR MOUNTS, SENSORS AND PROBABLY MORE. IT IS NOT WORTH FIXING IT. I AM A 57 YEAR OLD LADY AND I DONT HAVE THE MONEY TO BUY ANOTHER CAR AND I DONT HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX IT. I HEAR THAT THESE CARS HAVE ALOT OF TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AND MORE. I WISH I HAD KNOWN THAT BEFORE BUYING IT.

"TAKATA RECALL" IN MOTION, SHIFTING HAS A LARGE CLOCK SOUND I'D LIKE TO KNOW IF IT'S A RECALL ON THE COIL. BOTH CITY STREET AND HIGHWAY, WHEN ACCELERATING IT SEEMS TO STALL IN MOVING TO THE NEXT GEAR OR ACTUALLY NOT EVEN SHIFT INTO THE NEXT GEAR IN MOTION, SO WILL NOT ALLOW THE CAR TO PICK UP ANY MOMENTUM. REVERSE IS VERY LOUD WITH A SOMEWHAT BANG TO IT. AS I SAID BEFORE IT COULD BE THE COIL BUT I'D LIKE TO KNOW HOW TO IDENTIFY IF IT'S ALSO A DRIVESHAFT.

AT 12,500 MILES I WAS DRIVING AND IT WAS LIKE SOMEONE PUT IT IN NEUTRAL. TOWED THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY CHANGED THE TRANSMISSION. AT 34,000 MILES, IT STARTED KNOCKING AND SMOKING WHEN YOU FIRST START IT. BROUGHT TO DEALER AND THE GAS WAS MIXING WITH THE OIL. MY CLAIM WAS DENIED SO I HAD TO REPLACE THE ENGINE. NOW AT 110,000 MILES THE CAR WON'T SHIFT OUT OF FIRST GEAR. I'M A SINGLE MOTHER AND DO NOT HAVE ANY MORE MONEY TO SINK INTO THIS LEMON.

DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE, MERGING INTO THE EXIT LANE, I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL TO SLOW DOWN TO THE LIGHT, AS SOON AS I TAP THE GAS PEDAL THE CAR JUMPS OUT OF GEAR AND REVS TO APPROXIMATELY 6,000 RPM. CAR THEN VIOLENTLY KICKS BACK INTO GEAR, MORE THAN LIKELY DAMAGING ALL MOTOR MOUNTS AND TRANSMISSION MOUNTS. IT DOES THE SAME THING WHEN DRIVING AROUND SMALL BENDS AND TAKING TURNS. IT PUT MY CAR INTO LIMP MODE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR ROUGHLY THE PAST 6 MONTHS

I HAD ADEQUATE CLEARANCE TO BACK INTO A PARKING SPACE IN FRONT OF A BUILDING. I PUT MY CAR IN REVERSE, GENTLY PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR, AND WITHOUT WARNING MY VEHICLE TOOK OFF LIKE A MISSILE. WITHIN SECONDS THE REAR OF MY CAR WAS AGAINST THE BUILDING AND MY FRONT END WAS AGAINST THE CAR PARKED IN THE NEXT SPACE. TO SAY I WAS STUNNED IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT. WEATHER CONDITIONS WERE NOT AN ISSUE AND I WAS OF SOUND MIND AND BODY. I FIRMLY BELIEVE SOME KIND OF MECHANICAL DEFECT (POSSIBLY WITH MY VEHICLE'S ACCELERATOR) CAUSED THE ACCIDENT. I AM 100% CONFIDENT I DID NOT PRESS TOO HARD ON THE ACCELERATOR. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE WHICH I HAVE DRIVEN FOR OVER 8 YEARS (I'M ALSO A REPEAT OWNER OF THIS MAKE/MODEL) SO I AM VERY FAMILIAR WITH HOW IT HANDLES. IT ACCELERATED INAPPROPRIATELY RESULTING IN OVER $7,400 OF DAMAGES TO MY CAR ALONE.

ALTHOUGH THE CAR LOOKS BEAUTIFUL, IT'S QUICKLY BECOMING ONE OF MY LEAST FAVORITE VEHICLES I'VE OWNED. WHEN I START GOING FORWARD, I HAVE TO WAIT AND BE VERY PATIENT ON THE GAS PEDAL TO MAKE SURE IT SHIFTS PROPERLY OR IT WILL JERK MYSELF AND SMALL CHILDREN IN THE BACK FORWARD. I PARK IN A RAMP AT WORK AND ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASSION THE CAR WAS DOWNSHIFTING AS I TURNED A CORNER GOING UP THE RAMP AND I WAS SLOWING FOR A PEDESTRIAN AND THE CAR JERKED FORWARD AND THE PEDESTRIAN JUMPED AND GAVE ME A SCARED LOOK. NOT ONLY IS THAT ENTIRELY EMBARASSING AS AN EXECUTIVE BUT IT IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD ON MULTIPLE LEVELS. THE CAR SEEMS TO JERK THE MOST FROM 1-2 AND 2-3 AND VISA VERSA. I NOTED ELECTRICAL AS AN AFFECTED PART BECAUSE NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I SET THE MIRROR AND SEATS, EVERY TIME I USE REVERSE, THE MIRRORS MOVE AND CLICK UNTIL I ADJUST THEM TO WHERE I NEED THEM.

MY MAXIMA HAS BEEN JERKING AND HESITATING AT LOW SPEEDS. IT IS ONLY WHEN THE CAR HAS BEEN RUNNING FOR A BIT AND IS WARMED UP. A FEW TIMES IT HAS SLAMMED INTO GEAR SO HARD I THOUGHT I HAD BEEN REAR ENDED. IT IS SO BAD THAT I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH MY HAZARD LIGHT ON. I'M AFRAID FOR MY LIFE AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. THIS PROBLEM SHOULDN'T BE TAKEN LIGHTLY AND I BELIEVE NISSAN SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. *TR

MY CAR WILL START OFF RIDING GREAT BUT THEN THE JERKING STARTS AND THE ACCELERATION STALLS. I AM SO AFRAID THAT I MAY GET IN AN ACCIDENT AS A RESULT OF THE CONSTANT JERKING. SOMETIMES MY ENGINE REVS UP AND MY CAR JERKS AS IF THE WHOLE CAR WILL JUST FALL APART. I PRAY EVERYTIME I GET BEHIND THE WHEEL. I DON'T HAVE $3,000 TO GET IT REPAIRED AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR IT WHEN THERE IS A CLASS ACTION SUIT AGAINST NISSAN FOR THIS ISSUE. I AM HOPING THAT A RECALL IS DONE SO THAT I WON'T HAVE TO PAY. I BELIEVE ITS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE I CAN GET IN AN ACCIDENT OR INJURE SOMEONE. IT PISSES ME OFF THAT NISSAN WON'T TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. *TR

BRAKE "ACTUATOR" STARTED HUMMING OR RUNNING AS SOON AS CAR ('06 NISSAN MAXIMA SE) WAS TURNED ON AWAY FROM HOME. CONTINUED TO KICK IN ABS AT EVERY BRAKE APPLICATION CREATING UNSAFE (OR AT LEAST NOT NORMAL) BRAKING SITUATIONS AND CONTINUED TO RUN WHEN CAR WAS SHUT OFF. ABS LIGHT, TCS LIGHT, AND SLIP LIGHT ALL ACTIVATED CONTINUALLY. CODES C1110 & C1105 & C1106 WERE PRESENT AFTER SCANNING AT LOCAL GARAGE. BATTERY DRAINED AFTER CAR SHUT OFF DUE TO ACTUATOR CONTINUING TO RUN WITH CAR SHUT OFF. PER RESEARCH AND OTHER TSB OR NISSAN-ISSUED TECHNICAL BULLETINS, THE REAR HUB ABS SENSOR FREQUENTLY MALFUNCTIONS DUE TO A DESIGN FLAW IN THE CAR. IF DRIVEN WHILE MALFUNCTIONING (AS IN THIS CASE) THE CONTROLLER/ACTUATOR MAY MALFUNCTION. TURNING OFF "ABS" WHILE DRIVING SEEMS TO KEEP THE ACTUATOR FROM RUNNING, BUT ALSO MAKES DRIVING LESS SAFE, ESPECIALLY IN INCLEMENT WEATHER DUE TO TURNING OFF TCS/ABS. I'VE HAD TO REPLACE THIS OUT-OF-POCKET (DESPITE BEING AN EXTREMELY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL VEHICLE). SENSORS AND ACTUATOR WERE REPLACED. VEHICLE DRIVEN AGAIN. LESS THAN 8 MONTHS LATER, SAME ISSUES RETURN. NISSAN DEALERSHIP REPLACED REAR SENSOR PER CODES, NEW CODE FOR ACTUATOR SHOWS AGAIN (AFTER SENSORS PLACED IN) AND THEY REQUIRE ME TO PAY OUT OF POCKET AGAIN FOR NEW ACTUATOR. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A DESIGN FLAW IN THE CAR (PER MANY OTHER REPORTS) AND SHOULD BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY FOR REPAIR. *TR

HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES TO HAVE ISSUES DIAGNOSED AND THEY WOULD STATE THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. FIRST STARTED WITH HAVING LOW AND DIRTY OIL AND MAKING A WEIRD NOISE EVEN AFTER IT HAS BEEN SERVICED. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A DIFFERENT PLACE THAT THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP SAID WE SHOULD GO. THEIR OIL SOLUTION OF ROYAL PURPLE SYNTHETIC OIL DID NOT WORK. TALKED TO THE PLACE WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS BOUGHT AND BECAUSE THE WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED THEY WERE UNWILLING TO HELP. THE VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS ALMOST 108000 MILES ON IT AND HAVE ONLY OWNED IT A YEAR. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THE HARD SHIFTING WHEN DRIVING AND THE SLAMMING OF THE HEAD AGAINST THE HEAD REST. IT WILL SLAM INTO SECOND, THIRD AND EVEN FOURTH GEAR ONCE IT GETS WARMED UP AND TAKE SEVERAL SECONDS FOR THE VEHICLE TO ENGAGE AND ADJUST THE SPEED. I EXPERIENCE JERKING COMING FROM THE REAR WHILE DRIVING AND RECENTLY WHILE GOING FROM SPEED LIMITS OF 45 TO 30 I FELT A LOSE OF POWER LIKE IT DID NOT WANT TO GO. WHILE PARKED IT ALSO SLAMS INTO REVERSE AND THE FIRST. I HAVE A YOUNG SON AND THIS VEHICLE IS DEFIANTLY NOT SAFE FOR HIM TO DRIVE IN. I WAS TOLD TO REPLACE THE SOLENOIDS, TIMING CHAINS, AND TO PUT A KIT IN IT FOR THE SHIFTING ISSUES. I ALSO NEED TO GET AN ALIGNMENT DONE TO ADDRESS THE SHAKING WHEN GOING OVER 55MPH. AT THIS POINT THE MOTOR MOUNTS PROBABLY NEED TO BE REPLACED. I'M STILL MAKING PAYMENTS ON THIS VEHICLE AND ALL WARRANTIES ARE EXPIRED. THE AIR BAGS ARE ALSO MALFUNCTIONING AND THE LIGHTS BLINK ON AND OFF THIS WILL COST UP TO A $1000 TO HAVE FIXED. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALSO COMES OFF AND ON BUT NO CODES SHOW UP. THE RPM GAUGE GETS STUCK AT 3 AND YOU HAVE TO GO OVER 40MPH TO GET THAT GAUGE TO WORK. REALLY DON'T WANT TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THE ISSUES WITH THE DRIVE TRAIN AND TRANSMISSION. *TR

ABS BRAKING SYSTEM FAILURE AND ACTUATOR DEFECT; ABS SYSTEM SENSORS AND HUBS PREVIOUSLY REPLACED IN AUGUST 2009 AFTER NOTIFICATION TO NISSAN. NISSAN HAS FAILED TO NOTIFY PUBLIC OF AN ABS SYSTEM DESIGN DEFECT AND TO ISSUE A RECALL ALTHOUGH IT HAS KNOWN ABOUT THE PROBLEM IN ITS VEHICLES SINCE APPROXIMATELY 2004 AND THE DEALERS HAVE BEEN ISSUED AN ADVISORY. FAILURE OF THESE COMPONENTS CAN LEAD TO FAILURE IN PROPER BRAKING, SIGNIFICANT REDUCTION OF ENGINE POWER, LOSS OF SPEEDOMETER, AND REPORTEDLY FIRE. NISSAN ALSO HAS BEEN NOTIFIED OF RE-OCURRENCE BY COMPLAINANT AND REFUSED TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR REPAIR.

MY INITIAL INCIDENT OCCURRED SOMETIME IN DECEMBER, AFTER PUTTING MY VEHICLE IN TO GEAR (D) FROM PARK POSITION IT HESITATED AND THEN IT FELT AS IF MY WHOLE CAR JUMPED. I STEPPED ON THE GAS TO SLOWLY ACCELERATE AND THE CARS ENGINE REVVED UP BUT THE CAR DID NOT MOVE. IT KIND OF SCARED ME. IT CONTINUED TO DO SO ON MY DRIVE HOME. IT CONTINUES TO DO SO OFF AND ON PREDOMINATELY WHEN MY CAR HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO WARM UP. AFTER DOING SOME ONLINE RESEARCH AS TO WHAT COULD BE CAUSING THE ISSUE IT SEEMS THAT THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS WITH THIS SAME MATTER. IT IS BELIEVED THAT THE TRANSMISSIONS INSTALLED IN NISSAN MAXIMAS ARE FAULTY AND NISSAN REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE. IT IS VERY HAZARDS TO BE DRIVING LIKE THIS AND IT IS A VERY COSTLY FIX FOR A PROBLEM THAT SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING THIS EARLY ON OR AT ALL WITH A VEHICLE. *TR

WHILE CASUALLY DRIVING, HANDS ON STEERING WHEEL, FOOT ON ACCELERATOR, ASPHALT ROAD SLIGHTLY DAMP BUT NOT WET, ON A TWO WAY STREET WITH NO REASON TO EXPECT A SUDDEN CRISIS, THE ABA BRAKES ON MY 2006 MAXIMA SUDDENLY LOCKED THROWING THE REAR END OF THE VEHICLE INTO A SLIDE FACING ONCOMING TRAFFIC WHICH AT THIS TIME THERE HAPPENED TO BE NONE. WHEN I FELT THE SUDDEN ACTION, WHICH WAS LIKE I HAD RUN INTO AN INVISIBLE WALL, I THEN HIT THE BRAKES ATTEMPTING TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE STEERING WHEEL SEEMED TO FLOAT WITH NO CONTROL OF THE DIRECTION HEADED. THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE INSTEAD OF BRAKING. THIS SENT THE VEHICLE BACK ACROSS TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD INTO A CONCRETE CURB AND OVER INTO A GRASSY AREA BEFORE THE CAR CAME TO A STOP. ONLY EXTERIOR MINOR DAMAGE FROM HITTING A SMALL SIGN POST. HAD IT IMMEDIATELY TOWED TO THE DEALER WHO ROAD TESTED IT BUT FOUND NO REASON FOR THE INCIDENT. THEY SAID THERE WERE NO COMPUTER CODES FOR WHAT HAPPENED. I SPOKE TO THE SERVICE MANAGER AND CALLED NISSAN TO EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPENED. THEY HAD NO CLUE FOR WHY. I AM STILL AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR IN HEAVY TRAFFIC FOR FEAR OF A REPEAT. WITH SUCH LOW MILES AND IN THE GARAGE CARE OVER THE YEARS IT IS NOT TIME TO TRADE IT IN. *TR

I WAS A PROUD OWNER OF A 2006 MAXIMA BUT NOW I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED. ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO, MY CAR STARTED JERKING WHEN SWITCHING GEARS, ACCELERATING, PARKING, AND SLOWING DOWN. I WENT TO NISSAN AND THEY TOLD ME THAT MY TRANSMISSION HAD INTERNAL FAILURES AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT $4200.00!!! MY CAR ONLY HAS 73,000 MILES SHOULD NOT NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. I LOOKED ON THE INTERNET AND DISCOVERED THAT THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUES AND HAVE FILED A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST NISSAN BECAUSE THEY KNOW THAT THEIR TRANSMISSIONS ARE MESSED UP AND THEY ARE TRYING NOT TO OWN UP TO IT. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE WHEN IT JERKS VIOLENTLY OR STALLS, YOU LOSE CONTROL OF THE CAR WHICH IS VERY SCARY AND TERRIFYING. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER NISSAN AGAIN!!! *TR
