2007 Nissan Maxima Problems

Front driver and passenger side rust and corrosion under the car

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN MAXIMA. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS UNDERGOING MAINTENANCE BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, THE MECHANIC NOTICED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE FLOOR PANEL WAS ROTTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

MY WIFE AND I PURCHASED A 2007 NISSAN MAXIMA FROM B.M.W AUTO DALLAS LLC. THE VEHICLE WAS ADVERTISED AS HAVING 137,000 MILES. DESPITE OTHER ISSUES WITH THE CAR, THE DECIDING FACTOR FOR THE PURCHASE WAS THE LOW MILES. AFTER PURCHASE, OUR MECHANIC DISCOVERED WHAT HE DESCRIBED AS "SHADY BUSINESS" UNDER THE HOOD AND RECOMMENDED WE CHECK THE VIN THROUGH CARFAX, AUTOCHECK, ETC. WE PURCHASED AN AUTOCHECK VEHICLE REPORT AND DISCOVERED THE ODOMETER WAS ROLLED BACK. FROM 166K IN 2016 TO 112K IN 1018. THE DEALER DID NOT DISCLOSE INFORMATION THAT WOULD HAVE IMPACTED PRICE, AT A MINIMUM AND OUR OVERALL BUYING DECISION. THE MILEAGE FRAUD ALSO IMPACTS THE FUTURE SELLING PRICE OF THE VEHICLE.

IT STARTED WITH THE CAR NOT GOING OVER 40 MPH THE FIRST FEW MINUTES OF DRIVING AND THEN IT WOULD BE OK. I DIDN'T GET CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR ANY WARNING SIGNS, SO I DROVE IT LIKE THAT FOR 5 MONTHS UNTIL THE CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING, AND IT WON'T GO OVER 20 MPH. STILL NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE ENGINE TIMING CHAIN WAS OUT ALONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THE REPAIR COST WAS OVER $8000. A 12 YEAR-OLD CAR WITH 114,000 MILES IS HEADED TO THE JUNK YARD. I WAS THE FIRST AND ONLY OWNER OF THE CAR AND TOOK REALLY GOOD CARE OF IT BUT SAD TO SEE IT GO SO SOON.

2007 NISSAN MAXIMA HAS ISSUE WITH ABS ENGAGING CAUSING TRANSMISSION TO GO INTO A LIMP/SAFE MODE WHICH DOES NOT ALLOW YOU TO ACCELERATE EVEN WHEN GAS PEDAL IS FLOORED. ON LEFT TURN ALMOST T-BONE BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECT WHICH IS WELL DOCUMENTED SINCE 2004. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON ROADWAY 45 MPH. RECALL NEEDED PEOPLE ARE GOING TO GET KILLED IF THEY HAVEN'T ALREADY.

NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH 07 MAXIMA WE BOUGHT, LATER REPOSSESSED. THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE WHOLE FRONT OF THE CAR WOULD SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLY ESPECIALLY WHEN BRAKES WERE USED. ALSO WHEELS (NOT FACTORY BUT THEY WERE ON THERE WHEN PURCHASED, BUT ASKED TO REPLACE BUT NEVER HAPPENED) WERE NOTICEABLY BENT. AND LASTLY, THE FRONT AND SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AFTER SHUTTING MY DRIVERS SIDE DOOR CAUSING MY ARM TO BE BURNED.

I STARTED MY CAR UP ON 12/11/2019 AND MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND HAS BEEN FLASHING SINCE WITH NO ACCIDENT. I'M AFRAID MY AIRBAG WILL DEPLOY WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD.

TAKATA RECALL AIR BAG LIGHT CONTINUES TO STAY ON , IM AFRAID THE AIRBAG IS GOING TO EXPLODE WHILE IM DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION.

WHEN DRIVING THE CAR WOULD LOOSE POWER AND NOT ACCELERATE. DRIVING ONTO ON RAMP TO HIGHWAY AND CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND STARTED TO LOOSE SPEED WHILE MERGING. NO LIGHTS CAME ON DASH OR ANYTHING. SEEMS LIKE THE CAR WENT INTO LIMP MODE OR SOMETHING.

The contact owns a 2007 Nissan Maxima. The contact stated while attempting to start the vehicle in the morning, the vehicle would start after several attempts. The contact stated that he opened the hood and checked the battery and became aware that both battery terminals were corroded. The contact cleaned the terminals and still had issues with starting the vehicle. Additionally, the steering wheel had locked. The contact was unable to unlock the steering wheel. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that inserting the key in the ignition switch would not start the vehicle, and the key fob ignition option had also failed to start the vehicle. The contact stated that the steering wheel remained locked. The contact stated that the vehicle remained at the residence and was no longer drivable. The contact had not taken the vehicle to a local dealer or independent mechanic. The vehicle had not been diagnosed or repaired.

The failure mileage was approximately 170,000.

I WAS AT A NISSAN DEALERSHIP GETTING A NEW INTELLI-KEY MADE FOR THE CAR WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL LOCK BROKE. I FOUND OUT THIS WOULD BE THE THIRD TIME THIS LOCKING MECHANISM HAS BEEN REPLACED ON THIS CAR ALONE. THE TECHNICIAN TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE RIGHT AND THE LOCK BROKE AND LOCKED INTO PLACE. HOW MANY TIMES DOES THE SAME PART HAVE TO BREAK ON A NISSAN BEFORE YOU CONSIDER IT TO BE A BAD PART? THE STEERING LOCK WAS RECALLED BEFORE IT LEFT THE FACTORY, REPLACED 2 TIMES OVER THE NEXT 7 YEARS. THE STEERING LOCK IS NOT A PART THAT FAILS BECAUSE IT IS REPEATEDLY USED OR BECAUSE OF TOO MANY MILES, IT IS CAUSED BY A POOR QUALITY PART! ONCE AGAIN THIS IS THE 3RD TIME THIS PART HAS BEEN REPLACED ON THIS VEHICLE, I HAVE HAD 18 CARS OVER THE LAST 30 YEARS AND I HAVE NEVER HAD A STEERING LOCK FAIL. *TR

THE INTELLIGENT KEY IS NOT BEING RECOGNIZED BY THE VEHICLE. ACTS AS IF THE KEY IS NOT WITHIN THE READING RANGE. THIS CAUSES THE DOORS TO STAY LOCKED/UNLOCKED WHEN USING THE FOB. ALSO, THE IGNITION WILL NOT TURN EVEN THOUGH THE FOB IS IN THE CAR. THE ACTUAL KEY HAS TO BE REMOVED FROM THE FOB IN ORDER TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE.

THE HORN ON THIS VECHICLE DOES NOT BLOW. NISSAN SERVICEMAN TOLD ME THIS WAS COMMON ON THIS VEHICLE, AND IF I DIDN'T REPAIR IT , THERE MIGHT BE AIRBAG ISSUES. I CALL NISSAN AND FILED A CLAIM # 22887303 ON 7-5-2016. WAS TOLD NOT TO MOVE VEHICLE FROM NISSAN REPAIR DEALER. ON 7-6-2016 WAS TOLD BY NISSAN THEY COULD NOT HELP WITH THIS HAZARD PROBLEM.

ON 10/05/2015 THE CAR STARTED TO SHIFT FUNNY AND FELT LIKE LOSS OF FUEL ON STARTS AND TURNING CORNERS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN MAXIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE FAILED. THE CONTACT WOULD ADD FUEL TO THE VEHICLE BUT THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD NOT MOVE. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE AMOUNT OF FUEL IN THE VEHICLE AT ALL TIMES. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION WHERE THEY ADVISED THAT THE UNIFIED UNIT ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND THEY ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT HE WOULD HAVE TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 22,000.

I OWN A 2007 NISSAN MAXIMA. COMING HOME FROM A TRIP THAT LASTED APPROXIMATELY 60 MILES, I TURNED ONTO MY STREET AFTER ABOUT ANOTHER MILE I WENT OVER A BUMP, AND IT SOUNDED LIKE I HAD SCRAPPED THE BOTTOM OF THE VEHICLE. I CONTINUED ON. WITHIN THE NEXT 500 FEET OR SO THE CAR BEGAN TO PULL EXTREMELY HARD TO THE RIGHT. KNOWING WHAT A TIRE FAILURE FEELS LIKE, I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND GOT OUT. TO MY AMAZEMENT MY RIGHT REAR TIRE HAD LOST ALL AIR WITHIN SECONDS. IF I HAD BEEN TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY LIKE I PREVIOUSLY STATED I WOULD HAVE SPUN OUT. AFTER CHANGING THE TIRE I EXAMINED THE FLAT AND OBSERVED THAT THE TIRE HAD TWO PIECES OF TREAD "TORN" OUT OF THE TIRE IN TWO SEPARATE LOCATIONS. THE FIRST WOULD BE AT APPROXIMATELY 2 O'CLOCK AND THE SECOND AT 9 O'CLOCK. NOT DIRECTLY PARALLEL TO EACH OTHER. THE TIRE HAD NOT BEEN WORN ON THE INSIDE WHERE THE TREAD FAILED, SO I DEEMED IT NOT TO BE A CHASSIS PROBLEM WITH THE CAR. I HAVE PHOTOS OF THE TIRE AND STILL HAVE IT AT THIS MOMENT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN MAXIMA. THE VEHICLE HAS CONTINENTAL CONTI PRO CONTACT TIRES, SIZE P215-60R16. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO VIBRATE. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER AND NOTICED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER TIRE HAD COMPLETELY BLOWN OUT. THE TIRE APPEARED TO BE SHREDDED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP AND A NEW TIRE WAS INSTALLED. THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED HER TO SEND THEM THE FAULTY TIRE. THE CONTACT BELIEVES THAT THE TIRES SHOULD BE RECALLED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 19,900 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 21,000.

CAR AFTER WARMED UP IS GETTING STUCK IN FIRST GEAR, HAD BACK TO DEALER AND THEY COULD NOT TRIGGER THE PROBLEM, HOOKED UP COMPUTER AND CAN NOT GET AN ERROR CODE SO THEY CALLED NISSAN USA AND WAS ADVISED TO REPLACE THE COMPUTER PROGRAM THAT TELLS THE TRANSMISSION TO SHIFT, I HAD THE CAR BACK FOR THREE DAYS AND SAME PROBLEM, BROUGHT RIGHT BACK TO DEALERSHIP, THEY HAD FOR ANOTHER TWO WEEKS AND I JUST RECEIVED A CALL THAT THEY CAN NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM TO COME PICK IT UP, AS SOON AS I DROVE OUT OF THE DEALERSHIP THE CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO SECOND GEAR ITS HUNG UP IN FIRST AND THEN MY ABS WERE ACTING UP SOUNDED LIKE THEY WERE DRAGGING ON THE GROUND BROUGHT RIGHT BACK TO DEALER THEY HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR 27 DAYS AND STILL CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT'S WRONG. *TR

CAR JERKS TRANSMISSION SLIPS, IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME... EXCEPT AT SPEEDS 55 OR HIGHER. NISSAN WOULD NOT FIX THE CAR.. I JUST MISSED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY MILEAGE AND THEY WILL NOT STAND BY THE PRODUCT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN MAXIMA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO DECREASE IN POWER. HE RELEASED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND WHEN DEPRESSING IT A SECOND TIME, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT ASSUMED THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF FUEL, YET THE FAILURE CORRECTED ITSELF. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WOULD OCCUR OFTEN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND THE DEALER ADVISED HIM THAT THE ABS SENSOR WOULD NEED REPLACING. IN ADDITION, BOTH KNUCKLES AND THE HUB WOULD NEED MODIFICATION. THE DEALER DISABLED THE ABS SYSTEM. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 69,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 69,966.

HEAR A CLICKING NOISE WHEN MAKING TURNS. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING. I WAS TOLD THEY TIGHTEN THE STEERING. I WAS CLOSE TO MY FACTORY WARRANTY EXPIRING. IT LASTED UNTIL 3 MONTHS LATER AND THE CLICKING IS BACK. I WAS TOLD I WOULD BE CHARGED TO LOOK AT SINCE IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. *TR

TO NTSB: I PURCHASED AND INSTALLED REPLACEMENT WIPER BLADES FOR THIS VEHICLE, THEY WERE INSTALLED PER THE ENCLOSED INSTRUCTIONS... ONCE THE WIPERS WERE USED DURING A RECENT RAIN EVENT, IT WAS EVIDENT THAT A PROBLEM WITH THE NEW WIPER BLADES WAS OCCURRING. I HAD THE WIPERS INSPECTED BY THE AUTO PARTS STORE SALES PERSON AND HE CONFIRMED MY FINDINGS... THERE WAS A DESIGN PROBLEM WITH THE WIPER BLADE ASSEMBLY, A 1/2" OFFSET IN THE MOUNTING THAT CAUSE THE WIPER BLADE ON THE DRIVER SIDE TO STRIKE THE WINDSHIELD TRIM WITH FULL FORCE, ACTUALLY BENDING THE METAL TRIM, SO ANOTHER SET OF WIPER BLADES WERE NEEDED, DUE TO THE INTERFERENCE ISSUES. HERE IS MOST OF MY LETTER TO TRICO, PLEASE READ... TO TRICO PRODUCTS: I WANT TO EXPRESS MY CONCERNS OVER THE TRICO SENTRY REPLACEMENT WIPER BLADES THAT I PURCHASED AT MY LOCAL O'REILLY AUTO PARTS STORE LAST YEAR. THE SPECIFIED PART NUMBER FOR THE DRIVERS SIDE OF MY GIRLFRIENDS 2007 NISSAN MAXIMA ( #32-260 ) DID NOT PERFORM AS IT SHOULD... THE PASSENGER SIDE WAS NOT AN ISSUE, HERE IS THE ISSUE: WHEN THE WIPERS WERE RUNNING, THE DRIVER SIDE WIPER WAS HITTING THE WIDOW POST, AND THERE WAS A VERY LOUD BANGING NOISE THAT WAS SO LOUD THAT WAS JUST CRAZY! THIS NOISE WAS ONLY HEARD ONCE THE WIPERS WERE RUNNING... AND OF COURSE WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF A MAJOR DROUGHT, BECAUSE IT HASN'T RAINED IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA IN LIKE FOREVER... THE TRICO SENTRY WIPER ON THE DRIVERS SIDE ACTUALLY PUT SCRATCHES AND DENTS ON THE WINDOW TRIM. THIS PROBLEM / ISSUE HAPPENS BECAUSE OF A .500 INCH OFFSET IN THE WIPER BLADE MOUNTING... THIS 1/2" OFFSET, IS WHAT I WOULD CALL A DESIGN FLAW IN THIS CASE. IT'S ALL ABOUT SAFETY ! AND THIS PROBLEM MAY / WILL EVENTUALLY LEAD TO A WIPER FAILURE... REGARDS [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).'*JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN MAXIMA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH,THE SUN ROOF EXPLODED AND PIECES OF GLASS FELL INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 206,000. UPDATED 7/16/15*CN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS 2007 NISSAN MAXIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THE SMART KEY LOCK ON THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WERE TAMPERED WITH WHICH CAUSED THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE WINDOWS TO UNLOCK AND ROLL DOWN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO WILL REPLACE THE SWITCH IN THE DOOR LOCK. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND A COMPLAINT REGARDING THE FAILURE WAS FILED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

NEW HAMPSHIRE MY 2007 NISSAN MAXIMA DRIVERS SIDE DOOR LOCK WILL NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK UNLESS DONE MANUALLY, THERE ARE MAJOR SAFETY CONCERNS WITH THIS ONGOING PROBLEM, TO NAME A FEW:1. HAVING A SECURE ENVIRONMENT IS PARAMOUNT IN CERTAIN NEIGHBORHOODS. WHEN LOCKING THE DOORS IT'S IMPERATIVE NOBODY CAN GAIN ACCESS AT WILL BY WALKING UP TO THE CAR. IF ANYONE CAN SIMPLY OPEN THE DOOR TO GAIN ACCESS, CARJACKING, INJURY, OR EVEN MURDER IS EASIER. IF THE DOORS LOCKED PROPERLY THIS PROVIDES A MORE SECURE ENVIRONMENT FOR THIS TYPE OF SCENARIO. 2. NISSAN KNOWING THERE IS A SECURITY PROBLEM WITH THEIR LOCKING MECHANISM AND NOT RECALLING THEM FOR SAFETY CONCERN IS NEGLIGENT. IT'S AN OPEN DOOR TO A LAWSUIT IF SOMEONE WERE TO BE MURDERED DUE TO A DOOR THAT DIDN'T LOCK, ALTHOUGH THE DRIVER PUSHED THE LOCK BUTTON AND HEARD THE LOCKING NOISE. REMEMBER, IN THIS CASE THERE'S NO OBVIOUS INDICATION THE DOOR ISN'T LOCKED UNLESS SOMEONE WALKS UP AND OPENS IT FROM THE OUTSIDE. THE DRIVE "THINKS" THE DOOR IS LOCKED, WHEN IN REALITY IT'S AN "OPEN DOOR" FOR CARJACKING OR ROBBERY. 3. IN EMERGENCIES IT'S IMPORTANT TO BE ABLE TO UNLOCK DOORS QUICKLY. SINCE 99% OF THE TIME WE ALL USE THE BUTTON TO LOCK AND UNLOCK DOORS, USING THE MANUAL LOCKING LEVER IS UNFAMILIAR. AND THE MURANO'S DESIGN IS SUCH THAT IT'S NOT EASY TO COMPREHEND IF IT'S NOT YOUR CAR, FOR INSTANCE A RENTAL CAR. I CAN EASILY UNDERSTAND HOW SOME PEOPLE WOULD BE CONFUSED HOW UNLOCK A DOOR USING THE MANUAL LEVEL IN AN EMERGENCY WHEN THEY VIRTUALLY HAVE NO EXPERIENCE WITH IT. IN EMERGENCIES EVERY SECOND COUNTS. THE LOCKING/UNLOCKING SOLENOID MALFUNCTIONING IS CLEARLY A HIGH RISK IN EMERGENCY SCENARIOS. SOME PEOPLE WHO CANNOT AFFORD THE $1600 TO HAVE ALL THE SOLENOIDS REPLACED (AS QUOTED BY DEALERS) WILL FORGO GETTING THEM FIXED, PUTTING THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS AT RISK WITH THE ABOVE MISHAP EXAMPLES. THIS SHOULDN'T BE, NISSAN SHOULD RECALL THEM. *TR

I TOOK MY CAR IN TO THE DEALERSHIP DUE TO ALL OF MY WARNING LIGHTS COMING ON. UPON PUTTING IT ON THE LIFT, THEY SHOWED ME WHERE THE UNDERSIDE WAS SIGNIFICANT RUST THAT CAUSED THE TIRE & BRAKE SENSORS TO FALL OFF THE STRUTS. ADDITIONALLY, THE FLOOR PANS WERE COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT WITH HOLES, WHICH CAN CAUSE MY FEET TO CRASH THROUGH THE FLOORBOARDS CAUSING AN ACCIDENT OR CARBON DIOXIDE POISONING. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE MANY PROBLEMS REPORTED ONLINE REGARDING RUSTED FLOOR PANS AND BELIEVE THE NHTSA SHOULD FORCE NISSAN TO PROVIDE A RECALL TO GET THESE ITEMS FIXED. I UNDERSTAND RUST IS NOT A STANDARD REASON FOR NHTSA TO BE INVOLVED, BUT WILL IT TAKE MY DEATH TO HAVE YOU REGULATE & RESOLVE THIS ISSUE?
