2004 Nissan Crew complaints

FRONT BRAKE DEFECT. BRAKES WORN TO UNUSABLE CONDITION EVERY 2000 MILES. NISSAN STATES THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. TWICE MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN UNABLE TO MAINTAIN PROPER BRAKING POWER WHILE ON THE MAJOR FREEWAYS OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.

ROTOR WARPING CAUSING BRAKE ISSUES.

I WILL BE ON MY 5TH BRAKE JOB SHORTLY AND I AM STILL AWAITING ROTORS, PADS, CALIPERS FOR THE FRONT AS WELL AS THE REAR. IT SEEMS THAT NISSIAN NORTH AMERICA SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO FIX ALL OF IT'S VEHICLE'S PROBLEMS SINCE THEY STATED THEY HAVE CORRECTED IT ON THE 2005 AND NOE THE 2006 NISSIAN TITAN TRUCKS.

DT: BOUGHT CAR IN 2004, A MONTH LATER EVERY TIME CONSUMER APPLIED BRAKE PRESSURE THE FRONT END SHOOK. SOMETIMES THE BRAKE COULD BE ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALER TO BE SERVICED, AND A COUPLE MONTHS THIS STARTED AGAIN. TOOK THE VEHICLE BE SERVICED AGAIN, THEY PUT NEW BRAKES ON, AND AGAIN VEHICLE WAS HARD TO STOP AND STILL VIBRATED. THIS HAS SUPPOSED TO BE FIXED THREE TIMES ALREADY. *AK

AT 5000 MILES MY STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO SHAKE EVERY TIME I APPLIED THE BRAKES. DEALER MADE TEMP. REPAIR AND TOLD ME IT WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN. NISSAN HAS NOT COME UP WITH PERMINATE FIX. SEEM ROTORS OR PADS ARE WARPING.

SAFETY CONCERN REGARDING THE FRONT END. I'VE HAD TO TAKE MY TRUCK IN FOR VIBRATION OF STEERING WHEEL AND FRONT END WHEN SLOWING DOWN AT STOP SIGNS, LIGHTS, OR PARKING. THE VIBRATION IS ONLY WHEN SLOWING DOWN AND IT FEELS LIKE IT RADIATES TOWARDS THE REAR END RIGHT BEFORE THE COMPLETE STOP. I'VE HAD TO TAKE MY TRUCK IN FOR 4 TIMES DUE TO THE FRONT END. THREE, BECAUSE OF THE VIBRATION AND ONCE IN DEC. FOR RED FLUID DRIPPING AND GETTING ALL OVER THE BOTTOM AND SIDE OF TRUCK WHILE COMING BACK FROM A CHRISTMAS TRIP ABOUT 7HRS AWAY. I WAS TOLD IT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE RACK AND PINION. THAT WAS NOT GOOD NEWS TO HEAR ESPECIALLY SINCE WE HAD DRIVEN BACK A FEW NIGHTS AGO IN THE SNOW. NOW, APRIL 2005 I STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM FOR THE FOURTH TIME WITH THE EXTREME VIBRATION OF THE FRONT END WHILE BRAKING OR SLOWING DOWN. I NEED TO BE INCONVENIENCED AGAIN WHEN I TAKE MY TRUCK IN FOR A CHECK AND LEAVING IT BEHIND SEVERAL DAYS AND BE WITHOUT A CAR. THE OTHER PROBLEMS ARE THE FACT THAT THE TWO FRONT WINDOWS OF THE TRUCK DO NOT ALWAYS GO UP WHEN THE AUTOMATIC BUTTON IS USED. IT SEEMS THAT THE WINDOWS BEGIN TO GO UP THEN JUST SLIDE BACK DOWN. THIS HAS BEEN SERVICED MORE THAN FOUR (4) TIMES WITH STILL THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRING TO ONE OF THE WINDOWS. IT IS AN INCONVENIENCE WHEN THE WINDOW DOES NOT GO UP WHEN IT IS RAINING OR COLD WIND BLOWING WHILE DRIVING AND MY KIDS ARE AT THE BACK SEAT.*AK

WHILE BACKING MY BOAT INTO ITS PARKING SPOT, I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK. WITH THE ENGINE STILL RUNNING, I GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE TO UNHOOK THE BOAT TRAILER FROM THE TOW VEHICLE, LEAVING THE DRIVER'S DOOR OPEN. AS I TURNED THE TRAILER JACK TO LIFT BOAT TRAILER FROM THE TRAILER HITCH OF THE TITAN TRUCK, WHICH IS THE TOW VEHICLE, IT JUMPED OUT OF PARK INTO REVERSE, AND STARTED TRAVELING BACKWARDS. AS I ATTEMPTED TO ENTER THE TRUCK AND PRESS THE BRAKE, THE TREE NEXT TO THE VEHICLE CAUGHT THE DRIVER DOOR. BECAUSE I WAS HOLDING ON TO AND USING THE OPEN DOOR AS LEVERAGE WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ENTER THE CAB TO STOP THE VEHICLE, I WAS THROWN TO THE GROUND VERY CLOSE TO BEING RUN OVER BY THE DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE. THE DOOR WHILE PASSING OVER ME CAUSED A SEVERE ABRASION TO MY LEFT ARM. AS THE RESULT OF THE REVERSE MOVEMENT OF MY TRUCK CAUSED BY THE GEAR SHIFT JUMPING FROM PARK TO REVERSE, MY BOAT WAS PUSHED DOWN INTO A CULVERT, DAMAGE AT THIS POINT UNKNOWN. INSURANCE CLAIM PENDING; LIABILITY TO NISSAN CORPORATION TO BE INVESTIGATED. *JB

I AM HAVING A PROBLEM WITH MY 2004 NISSAN PATHFINDER WHICH I PURCHASED IN NOVEMBER 2004. ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS, THE ENGINE REVVED UP ON ITS OWN. THE FIRST TWO TIMES I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT WITH MY FOOT FIRMLY ON THE BRAKE WHEN THE ENGINE REVVED UP. THE THIRD TIME IT HAPPENED ON APRIL 12, 2005 AS I WAS APPROACHING A RED LIGHT. I GENTLY APPLIED PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE AND THE ENGINE REVVED UP AND LUNGED FORWARD. I APPLIED AS MUCH PRESSURE AS I COULD TO THE BRAKE, BUT THE TRUCK WOULDN'T STOP. I QUICKLY PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND THREW THE TRUCK INTO PARK IN ORDER TO STOP THE TRUCK FROM MOVING AND AVOID HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. NISSAN SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE TRUCK. WHAT DO I DO NOW? I'M NERVOUS DRIVING THE VEHICLE.*AK

MAR 2004 I PURCHASED A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. AT 7000 MILES I BEGAN HAVING VIOLENT VIBRATIONS WITH BRAKING. I RETIRNED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED THEM AND STATED THE CALIPERS NEEDED REINFORNCING WITH A SPECIAL KIT. TWO MONTHS LATER, I EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM AND THE DEALERSHIP DID ANOTHER FRONT BRAKE REPLACEMENT. EVERY THREE MONTHS I HAVE HAD THE BRAKES REPLACED, AND LAST MONTH THEY REPLACED THE ROTORS AND THE BRAKES. I AM CONCERNED THAT IN THE PAST 14 MONTHS I HAVE REPLACED MY BRAKES 4 TIMES. THIS IS QUITE EXTREME. THE POINT OF MY COMPLAINT IS TO NOT HAVE TO COMPLAIN AFTER SOMEONE IN MY FAMILY DIES. I LOVE THE TRUCK, BUT I AM WORRIED THE TRUCK IS UNSAFE AND I HAVE ASKED MY FAMILY NOT TO RIDE IN IT UNTIL THIS MATTER CAN BE RESOLVED IN SOME WAY OTHER THAN SIMPLY REPLACING THE FRONT PADS.*AK

WHEN DRIVING THIS VEHICLE ,AND THE RIGHT FOOT IS ON THE ACCELERATOR YOU FEEL AS THOUGH YOU ARE GOING TO RIP A WIRING HARNES WITH YOUR FOOT ,IT IS ALSO DISTRACTING AND SOME WHAT CONCERNING AS IT TAKES YOU LONGER TO MOVE YOUR FOOT TO THE BRAKE PEDAL,ALSO THE SUSPENSION ON THIS VEHICLE IS NOT STURDY , THE FRONT STRUT ASSEMBLY RATTLES AS IF THE VEHICLE IS 10 YEARS OLD I HAVE SPOKEN TO NISSAN AND THEY SAY THAT SUCH IS NORMAL I HAVE SPOKEN TO OTHER FRONT END EXPERTS AND THEY SAY THE SUSPENSION ON THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE REPLACED , I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THAT AT COLD STARTS THE VEHICLE GIVES OF A BLUE SMOKE WHICH IS NOT NORMAL I AM A VERY METICULOUS PERSON AND TAKE CARE OF MY VEHICLE ,FAITHFULL OIL CHANGES ETC. I BELIEVE NISSAN SHOULD REEVALUTE THIS 2004 AND MAKE CHANGES TO KEEP CUSTOMERS HAPPY. *AK

WHERE TO BEGIN. PROBLEMS STARTED FROM THE TIME WE TOOK POSSESION. THE IGNITION WOULDN'T RELEASE, BACK TO THE DEALER. THE BREAKS SHUDDER, BACK TO THE DEALER TWICE!! ROTORS WARPED. POWER WINDOWS WORK ON SOME OF THE TIME. STEERING PULSES AT SPEEDS OVER 70. IT'S JUST BEEN ONE THING AFTER ANOTHER. THE BIGGEST IS THE BRAKES THOUGH, NOW AFFECTING THE WHOLE FRONT END AND SAFETY.*AK

I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN TITAN 4X4 PICKUP AND HAVE BEEN HAVING STEADILY INCREASING PROBLEMS WITH MY BRAKES. THEY STARTED VIBRATING AT ABOUT 5,000 MILES AND CONTINUED TO GET WORST. I BROUGHT THE TRUCK IN TO A NISSAN DEALER TO GET THEM WORKED ON AFTER THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO SHAKE REALLY BAD WHEN BRAKES WERE USED. THE SERVICE WRITER STATED NISSAN WAS WORKING ON A RECALL EXPECTED IN JUNE. HE HAD THE ROTORS TURNED, DID A FIX KIT ON THE CALIPERS, AND PUT NEW PADS ON. THE ARE WORKING FINE NOW BUT I AM AFRAID IT IS JUST A TEMPORARY FIX. THEY REALLY NEED TO BE INVESTIGATED BEFORE SERIOUS PROBLEMS BEGAN HAPPENING. THANKS. *AK

IT STARTED ABOUT A MONTH AFTER TAKING OWNERSHIP ON A NEW 2004 TITAN..AT THAT TIME IT HAD ABOUT 1500 MILES ON IT ..THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED A SHUDDER UPON APPLYING THE BRAKES ...I FINALLY HAD THE TIME AVAILABLE TO GET IT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD TURN THE ROTORS..I COULDN'T ACCEPT THAT QUICK FIX AND INSISTED ON THE UPDATED ROTORS.. THEY COMPLIED AND THAT WAS YESTERDAY..TODAY THE DEALER CALLED ME AND TOLD ME THAT THE NEW ROTORS ARRIVED AT THE DEALER TODAY..I AM SCHEDULED FOR REPLACEMENT IN 5 DAYS FROM NOW WHEN I FOUND THE TIME TO GET TO THE DEALER.....HOPE IT TAKES CARE OF THE PROBLEM.......*AK

HAVE 04 ARMADA AND HAD THE ROTORS TURNED AT 7000 MILES, AND JUST FOUND OUT THAT I NEED ANOTHER ROTOR AND BRAKE JOB AT 14000 MILES. CONTACTED DEALERSHIP AND FIRST PERSON I TALKED TO DENIED THERE WAS A PROBLEM AND SAID IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER A WARRANTY-EVEN EXTENDED. SECOND PERSON WAS MUCH NICER BUT SAID THAT THEY STILL WON'T BE ABLE TO "FIX" THE PROBLEM FOR NOW. HAVE ALSO TAKEN TRUCK IN FOR DRIVER SIDE WINDOW RATTLE AND PASSENGER SIDE DOOR SQUEAKING TWICE AND HAS YET TO BE FIXED. DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT THEY CANNOT HEAR OR "FIND" A PROBLEM, I DON'T THINK THAT THEY EVEN CHECKED IT OUT. *NM

BRAKES HAVE BEEN SERVICED 6 TIMES IN 8 MONTHS AND HAVE FAILED TO STOP VEHICLE 2 TIMES. DEALERSHIPS HAVE INFORMED ME THAT THIS BRAKE PROBLEM IS OCCURING IN ABOUT 35 TO 40% OF ALL 2004 NISSAN ARMADA'S AND THAT NISSAN ENGINEERS ARE PREPARING A BRAND NEW REDESIGN OF THE BRAKING SYSTEM FOR THIS VEHICLE OVER THE NEXT 3 MONTHS. IN THE MEANTIME, THIS VEHICLE POSES A POTENTIAL LIFE THREATENING PROBLEM FOR ALL CONSUMERS THAT HAVE PURCHASED THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED FOR SAFETY REASONS. A VEHICLE THAT RUNS THE RISK OF NOT STOPPING, OR IMPARING ONES ABILITY TO STOP, SHOULD BE TAKEN OFF THE MARKET, UNTIL SUCH TIME AS THE SITUATION IS FULLY CORRECTED AND DOCUMENTED AS CORRECTED. *AK

2004 NISSAN TITAN WITH EXCESSIVE STEERING WHEEL SHUDDER UPON BRAKE APPLICATION. HAD ROTORS AND PADS REPLACED ONCE AT 10,000 MILES AND HAS RE-OCCURED AT 15,000 MILES.WAITING FOR NISSAN RECALL.*AK

I HAVE HAD MY ARMADA IN FOR BRAKE SERVICE 4 TIMES NOW .MY WIFE CAN'T WORK ON THAT DAY AND ISN'T PROVIDED A RENTAL CAR FOR A DEFECT THAT IS NOT OUR RESPONSIBILITY NEEDS TO QUIT DANCING AROUND THIS ISSUE AND MANUFACTURE CORRECTLY DESIGNED BRAKE ROTORS FOR THIS VEHICLE. THEY NEED TO PROVIDE VEHICLES TO THOSE THAT NEED TO GET TO WORK .THIS IS THEIR RESPONSIBILITY OR THEY ARE GOING TO LOOSE A LARGE PORTION OF THEIR CUSTOMER BASE TO TOYOTA AND OTHERS WITH PROVEN RELIABILITY. *JB

I BOUGHT MY ARMADA IN OCT 2004 AND IT WAS IN FOR REPAIRS BY NOV 2004, THE FRONT END/BRAKES WOULD VIOLENTLY VIBRATE WHILE ATTEMPTING TO STOP, THE ROTORS ALONG WITH SEVERAL OTHER MAJOR COMPONENTS WERE REPLACED WHICH TEMPORARILY FIXED THE PROBLEM. BY THE BEGINNING FEB 2005 MY ARMADA WAS BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE EXACT REPAIRS WHICH AGAIN WILL TEMPORARILY FIX THE PROBLEM. I WAS ADVISED BY NMAC THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM THEY ARE AWARE OF AND THEY ARE "WORKING ON A REMEDY", SO FOR THE MEAN TIME, MY ARMADA SITS IN MY GARAGE UNTIL NISSAN COME UP WITH A "REMEDY" FOR THIS PROBLEM, I HOPE THEY EXPEDITE THIS PROCESS BEFORE TRAGEDY STRIKES.*JB

1-STILL PENDING - STEERING, BRAKES, AND SHAKY NOISE IN NEW NISSAN ARMADA. -TAKEN TO DEALER, AND THEY ATTEMPTED TO FIX BRAKES - BUT THE CONSEQUENCES ARE THE SAME - SAME PROBLEMS. 3 -PARTS REPAIRED - BUT CLUNKING SOUND STILL SOUNDS WHEN BRAKING - AND STEERING IS OFF. *AK

MY TRUCK HAS 8,000 MILES. 1ST THE MAIN COMPUTER SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONED AND I HAD TO WAIT A WEEK TO BE REPLACED. THEN MY BRAKES STARTED SHAKING SO THEY GRINDED DOWN MY ROTORS.THEN THE BRAKES STARTED SHAKING AGAIN SO THEY REPLACED THE ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS. THEN TWO MONTHS LATER THE BRAKES WENT AGAIN SO THEY REPLACED THE ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS AGAIN. THEN ON A COLD DAY I WENT TO OPEN MY CAR AND THE DOOR HANDLE BROKE SO I COULDN'T CLOSE MY DOOR. THE DEALER REPLACED IT. NOW THREE WEEKS LATER THE DOOR HANDLE BROKE AGAIN AND MY REAR WINDOW WIPER STOPPED WORKING. NISSAN TELLS ME THAT THEY HAVE A NATIONAL BACK ORDER ON THE DOOR HANDLES.

BRAKES TOO SMALL FOR TRUCK. BRAKE PADS WEAR OUT AND ROTOR WARP EVERY APPROX. 3,000.00 MILES. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE DEALER IT WILL BE ANOTHER 6 TO 12 MONTHS BEFORE NISSAN WILL PROVIDE A REPAIR KIT TO THE DEALERS THAT WILL RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. IN THE MEANTIME THE BRAKE PADS RUB AGAINST THE ROTORS, EVEN WHEN THE BRAKES ARE NOT BEING USED, AND THE ROTORS WARP BECAUSE OF THE HEAT. *JB

MY FRONT WHEELS AND STEERING WHEEL SHUDDER WHEN I AM BRAKING AT MEDIUM PRESSURE. *AK

I HAVE NOW EXPERIENCED BRAKE FAILURE ON MY NISSAN TITAN FOR THE 4TH TIME IN 10 MONTHS. EACH TIME IT GETS MORE AND MORE DIFFICULT TO CONVINCE THE DEALER TO ABSORB THE COSTS , EVEN THOUGH NISSAN HAS ACKNOWLEGED AN ONGOING PROBLEM. THE DEALER (QUALITY NISSAN IN TMEMCULA) SEEMS UN SYMPATHETIC AND EVEN THOUGH I BOUGHT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY, THE SDERVICE IS GETTING WORSE AND THE PROBLEM PERSISTS COSTING ME A DAY OR MORE EACH TIME THESE BRAKES FAIL. *AK

THE NISSAN TITAN STARTED SHIMMIED AFTER 5 WEEKS FROM PURCHASE DATE. IT WAS TAKEN IN FOR SERVICE AND DISCOVERED THAT THE BRAKES WERE BAD AND A PIN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. FOLLOWING THE PIN REPLAEMENT, THE BRAKES WERE STILL BAD AND THE SHIMMIED CONTINUED. I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE ADVISOR THAT BRAKE PADS WERE NEEDED. THE PADS WERE ORDERED - DURING THE INTERIM THE BRAKE ROTORS WERE TURNED. THREE WEEKS AFTER THIS THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AND CONTINUED MAKING A BEEPING CHIME TO ALERT OF THE BRAKE MALFUNCTION, IT WS TAKEN IN FOR SERVICE ONCE AGAIN AND I WAS ADVISED BY THE SERVICE ADVISOR THAT THE PADS WERE AGAIN WORN AND THE ROTORS NEEDED TO BE TURNED AGAIN. THIS WAS DONE, HOWEVER, UPON PICKING UP THE TITAN FROM SERVICE, THE BRAKE LIGHT WAS STILL ON AND THE SHIMMYING WAS NOT GONE. NOW I HAVE TO TAKE THE VEHICLE IN AGAIN. I FEEL THIS IS UNJUSTIFIED - AND WOULD LIKE TO COMPLAIN. -*AK

CAR BRAKES ARE FAILING EVERY MONTH.*AK

REAR SEAT BELT - CENTER- LOCKS UP WHILE PASSAGER IS IN THE SEAT. THE ONLY WAY TO UNLOCK THE SEAT BELT IS TO RELEASE THE BELT FROM THE BUCKLE AND FACE THE REAR OF THE TRUCK AND PRESS THE SEAT IN SO ENOUGH BELT RETRACTS AS TO ALLOW THE SEAT BELT TO UN LOCK. THIS OPERATION IS UNSAFE IF TRUCK IS MOVING. THE DEALERSHIP INDICATED THAT THIS " IS " THE DESIGN AND IT IS UP TO ME TO LEARN HOW TO USE THE BELT. I HAVE CHECK WITH OTHER MANUFACTURERS OF TRUCKS AND THE CENTER SEAT BELT RELEASES TEH SAME AS ALL OTHER BELTS IN THE TRUCK. THE REST OF THE BELT SEAM TO RELEASE AFTER PRESURE IS RELEASED FROM THE BELT. AS MOST SEAT BELTS DO. THIS DEFECT IN DESIGN OR MANUFACTORING WILL CAUSE INJURY AT SOME TIME IN THE FUTURE AS WELL AS THE LAW STATES THAT THE BELT MUST BE BUCHLED AT ALL TIMES WHEN THE VEHICAL IS IN MOTION. *AK

I PURCHASED A 2004 NISSAN ARMADA ON JUNE 18,2004. THIS IS MY THIRD NISSAN VEHICLE. IN AUGUST, I STARTED FEELING THAT, WHEN BRAKING, MY CAR VIOLENTLY PULLS TO ONE SIDE, AND STEERING WHEEL SHAKES. I COULDN'T BELIEVE THAT MY BRAKES WERE BAD AFTER ONLY 2000 MILES. ALSO, MY FRONT WINDOWS SQUEAK AND DO NOT GO UP SMOOTHLY. AFTER BRINGING THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE, THEY TOLD ME THAT MY ROTORS WERE WARPED. THE ROTORS WERE CUT AND NEW BRAKE PADS INSTALLED. (BAY RIDGE NISSAN INVOICE #174068 SEPT. 17,2004). THEY ALSO REPLACED 2 WINDOW REGULATORS. ON NOV 8, 2004 AT 3750 MILES MY BRAKES FAILED COMPLETELY. I WAS STOPPED AT THE LIGHT WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY PEDAL WENT DOWN TO THE FLOOR. WHEN I PULLED UP AND TRIED TO STOP, ALL I HEARD WAS METAL ON METAL NOISE AND THE CAR WON'T STOP. WHEN I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALER, I WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS A ONGOING PROBLEM. AFTER THEY CHECKED THE COMPUTER, I WAS TOLD THAT MY POWER BRAKE BOOSTER FAILED. (BAY RIDGE NISSAN NOV. 8,2004). ORIGINALLY, I WAS TOLD THAT THE PART IS ON LOCAL BACKORDER, BUT WEEK LATER THEY NOTIFIED ME THAT IT IS ON NATIONAL BACKORDER, AND NOBODY KNOWS WHEN I'M GETTING MY CAR BACK. EVERY MECHANIC TELLS ME THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH BRAKES ON THESE TRUCKS, AND NOBODY KNOWS HOW TO FIX IT. EVEN AFTER THIS PROBLEM IS FIXED, I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS TRUCK. IF THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURS ON THE HIGHWAY, I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO STOP THE TRUCK. NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS USELESS AND CANNOT PROVIDE ANY SOLUTIONS. *JB

THE FIRST DAY AFTER RECEIVING THE CAR AND GETTING ONTO THE HIGHWAY I NOTICED THE VEHICLE WOULD EXHIBIT HARSH VIBRATIONS. IT WAS TOO MUCH VIBRATION TO BE TOLERATED. I SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT WITH MY LOCAL SERVICE DEALER THEY ROTATED AND BALANCED THE TIRES, ADJUSTED THE STEERING RACK (A TSB ISSUED) AND FOUND MY FRONT PASSENGER SIDE STRUT HAD BLOWN. I HAD TO DRIVE A WHOLE MONTH WITH A BLOWN STRUT TO WAIT FOR PARTS TO GET IN AND IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS. THE VIOLENT VIBRATIONS WERE STILL NOT TAKEN CARE OF. THAT WAS THE FIRST TRIP. WHEN I FINALLY WENT IN TO GET THE STRUT FIX THEY BALANCED MY TIRES YET AGAIN. THIS SEEM TO ELIMINATE THE VIBRATIONS FROM 45-55, BUT AT 60-80+ MPH THERE WERE STILL VIOLENT VIBRATIONS AND THE INTENSITY HAD NOT BEEN LESSENED. I AM SCHEDULED FOR YET ANOTHER APPOINTMENT SPECIFICALLY TO FIX THE VIBRATIONS. I DO NOT WANT TO GO IN FOR A 4TH TIME AND HAVE NOTHING FIXED. I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED WITH THE SITUATION, THE VEHICLE, AND NISSAN FOR LETTING SUCH AN ISSUE AS THIS GET SO LARGE. HAVING SUBSCRIBED ON MANY FORUMS ONLINE, IVE NOTICED THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THESE ISSUES. *JB

2003 MURANO ALTERNATOR FAILED ON I40 IN EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA, MADE IT SAFELY TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. DEALER SAID THEY HAVE REPLACED MANY ALTERNATORS ON THE MURANOS EVEN THOUGH FIRST MODEL YEAR IS 2003. THEY SEEM TO THINK ITS A COOLING/ELECTRICAL PROBLEM THAT CAUSES THE FAILURES. *JB

THERE HAS BEEN A VIBRATION IN THE STEERING SINCE PURCHASE (NOW 14000 MILES). WAS ORIGINALLY TOLD THAT THE CAR HAS TO BE BROKEN IN AND THEN DEALER BALANCED TIRES. THE CAR IS NOW AT THE DEALER FOR THE 3RD TIME. *JB

FAILURE OF ALTERNATOR ON 2004 NISSAN MURANO 11 MO'S, 13,500 MILES. DEALER WAS AWARE OF MULTIPLE FAILURES, WHY ISN'T THERE A RECALL? WITH WHAT CERTAINTY AM I NOT GETTING ANOTHER ALTERNATOR WITH A HIGH PROBABILITY OF FAILURE? CAR WAS DRIVEN ON BATTERY TO NISSAN STATEN ISLAND, WHERE THEY DIAGNOSED FAILED ALTERNATOR AND A CRACKED TRANSFER CASE. WHEN I VISITED THE REPAIR SHOP AND REQUESTED THE MECHANIC SHOW ME THE CRACK IN THE TRANSFER CASE, HE AND HIS MANAGER CLAIMED THEY MADE A MISTAKE, AND ONLY A FAILED ALTERNATOR WAS DIAGNOSED. AS A RESULT MY CAR SAT IN NISSAN FOR 3 CONSECTIVE DAYS. THIS PROBLEM, ALTERNATOR AND MISMANAGED NISSAN SERVICE WAS REPORTED TO NISSAN NATIONAL CUST SVC.

2004 NISSAN MAXIMA SL IN SHOP SIX TIMES SINCE PURCHASED BRAND NEW FOR STEERING WHEEL VIBRATION.TIRES BALANCED NUMEROUS TIMES, TSB ON STEERING RACK FORCE DONE. VIBRATION STILL THERE. THIS VEHICLE HAS CONTINENTAL TIRES. IN SHOP FOR ONE WEEK NOW WAITING REPLACEMENT OF FOUR TIRES.

CONSUMER BOUGHT A BRAND NEW VEHICLE IN WHICH A GRILL WAS TO COME WITH IT UPON PURCHASE. CONSUMER STATED THAT HE HAD BEEN GOING BACK AND FORTH WITH THE MANUFACTURER ABOUT THE PROBLEM . HOWEVER, THERE WAS NO PROTECTION TO THE UNDER BODY OF THE VEHICLE. *AK
