2003 Nissan Maxima

Defect. Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain air bag inflator replacement service parts that may have been installed as part of a theft or collision repair. The parts include certain passenger-side air bag inflators designed to fit Infiniti 2002-2003 QX4, 2006-2010 M35 and M45; Nissan 2001-2003 Maxima, 2002-2006 Sentra, and both driver and passenger-side inflators designed to fit 2007-2012 Versa Sedan and Versa Hatchback vehicles. Please see Nissan's recall report for the specific part numbers. These replacement inflators may explode due to propellant degradation occurring after long-term exposure to high absolute humidity, temperature and temperature cycling.

Risk. An inflator explosion may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants resulting in serious injury or death.

Remedy. Dealers will inspect and replace the inflators as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed September 14, 2022. Owners may contact Nissan's customer service at 1-800-867-7669.

Defect. Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2001-2003 Maxima, 2002-2006 Sentra, 2002-2004 Pathfinder, 2007-2011 Versa Sedan and Versa Hatchback, 2001-2004 Infiniti I30 and I35, 2002-2003 Inifiniti QX4, 2003-2008 Infiniti FX35 and FX45 and 2006-2010 M35 and M45 vehicles. The vehicles are equipped with non-desiccated, frontal passenger air bag inflators containing phase stabilized ammonium nitrate (PSAN) propellant that were used as interim remedy parts for previous Takata recalls. These inflators may explode due to propellant degradation occurring after long-term exposure to high absolute humidity, high temperatures, and high temperature cycling.

Risk. An inflator explosion may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants resulting in serious injury or death.

Remedy. Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front passenger air bag inflators with alternate desiccated inflators, free of charge. The recall began February 12, 2020. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 888-737-9511 or Infiniti customer service at 888-810-3715.

Defect. Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2001-2003 Nissan Maxima, 2002-2004 Pathfinder, 2002-2006 Sentra, 2002-2003 Infiniti QX4 and I35, 2003 FX35 and FX45, and 2001 I30 vehicles. Upon deployment of the passenger side frontal air bag, excessive internal pressure may cause the inflator to rupture.

Risk. In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the passenger's frontal air bag, the inflator could rupture with metal fragments striking the vehicle occupants potentially resulting in serious injury or death.

Remedy. Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will replace the passenger air bag inflator, free of charge. The recall began on June 15, 2015. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7261. Note: On December 18, 2015 Nissan informed NHTSA of an amendment of this recall to remove 2004-2005 Infiniti FX35 and FX45 vehicles.

Defect. ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES, THE CIRCUIT BOARD FOR THE CRANK POSITION SENSOR OR CAM POSITION SENSOR MAY HAVE AN IMPROPER SOLDER JOINT DUE TO SOLDER DEFORMATION CAUSED BY HEAT STRESS ACCELERATED BY THE EXISTENCE OF FLUX RESIDUE DURING THE SOLDERING PROCESS.

Risk. THIS COULD CAUSE THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" WARNING LIGHT TO COME ON, CREATE A NO START CONDITION, CAUSE REDUCED ENGINE POWER, OR CAUSE THE ENGINE TO STOP RUNNING WITHOUT WARNING DURING VEHICLE OPERATION, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE CRANK POSITION SENSORS. CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR(S), AND IN SOME CASES, THE VARIABLE TIMING CONTROL SENSOR(S). VEHICLES INVOLVED IN A PREVIOUS RECALL CAMPAIGN, 01V357, ARE ALSO INCLUDED IN THIS NEW CAMPAIGN. THE REPLACEMENT SENSORS USED IN THAT CAMPAIGN ARE ALSO AFFECTED. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN ON DECEMBER 22, 2003. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261 OR INFINITI AT 1-800-662-6200.

The contact owns a 2003 Nissan Maxima. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the check engine warning light remained illuminated. Additionally, while driving approximately 20 MPH, the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was later towed to the residence. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The local dealer and manufacturer were not contacted regarding the failure. The failure mileage was 225,000.

The steering shimmies and pulls to the right. Power steering fluids are within there limits.

Please fix your auto fill --- it just erased everything! Anyway, the engine cuts out while driving in traffic. The engine cuts out while waiting at a red light. The engine cuts out while turning. It's ALL random! The engine code shows P0340, Bank 1 and Bank2, and sometimes P0345. I have replaced the camshaft position sensors FIVE times!!!!! I have tried both Auto Zone and Hitachi, and neither of them solves the problem. I also paid to have the crankshaft sensor below replaced, and that didn't help. I am told that this problem has been posted online and it was recommended to only use OEM parts. This is very dangerous to lose power while in traffic, and then having to wait until the engine will restart, which eventually it does. This is an ongoing problem. PLEASE help!!!

AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE CAR JERKED AND FELT LIKE IT WAS LOSING ACCELERATION. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, TCS AND SLID LIGHT TURNED ON. I BEGAN TO FEEL SCARED I HAD MY CHILD, SISTER AND BROTHER IN THE VEHICLE. I PROCEED TO DRIVE HOME WITH CAUTION. ONCE I ARRIVED HOME, I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND TRIED TO RESTART IT. THE CAR WOULD NOT START.

HOWEVER I PUT IN MY VIN # AND I'M ASSUMING MY CAR DOES NOT APPLY. VERY VERY DANGEROUS. MY YOUNG DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING WHEN IT DIED. WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF REPAIRS WOULD BE COVERED UNDER PREVIOUS RECALL.

TAKATA RECALL. ON 10/24/18 I HAD THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG FIXED AT THE OXNARD TEAM NISSAN SHOP. I ASKED ABOUT THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG, AND THEY SAID THE ONLY ONE TO BE TAKEN CARE OF WAS THE PASSENGER SIDE FOR MY CAR MODEL, IS THIS TRUE? MY CONCERN IS, AS FAR AS I KNOW, THE INJURIES AND DEATHS HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG. CAN YOU CLARIFY THIS FOR MY PEACE OF MIND. THANKS A LOT!

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 124,432.

I HAVE EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS CRANKING THE CAR, I PURCHASED A NEW BATTERY AND BATTERY TERMINALS. THIS APPEARED TO QUICK FIX IT BUT SOON AFTER THE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. SOON AFTER FOLLOWED TCS CONTROL AND ABS LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND THE DIAGNOSIS INVOLVED A PROBLEM WITH THE CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSORS AND CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSORS. I PURCHASED A BOOK ABOUT THE CAR AND READ THAT MY MAKE AND MODEL HAD A RECALL. AFTER DOUBLE CHECKING ONLINE ABOUT THE RECALL I NOTICED IT APPEARED TO BE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. CONVINCED, I WENT TO MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THEM CHECK HOWEVER IT WAS EXPLAINED TO ME THAT MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT RECALLED. I WANT TO HAVE MY VIN NUMBER PLACED ON THE NHTSA RECALL LIST SO THAT I MAY HAVE MY VEHICLE REPAIRED. IF THIS IS NOT POSSIBLE PLEASE ADVISE FURTHER. THANK YOU.

I NO THERE WAS A VOLUNTEER RECALL ON A COUPLE DIFFERENT PARTS OF THIS CAR , YET LOOKING AT THE VIN NUMBER DOESNT SHOW A RECALL NOW. I BOUGHT MY 5TH GEN MAXIMA AND SINCE THEN IVE HAD TO REPLACE THE CAMSHAFT SENSORS IN IT NOW 3 TIMES AN EVEN GOTTEN NEW CONNECTORS INSTALLED TO FIX THE PROBLEM. IVE HAD MY CAR JUST SUDDENLY DIE IN TRAFFIC AS IM DRIVING OR SOON AS YOU TRY TO ACCELORATE IT DIES AND IS HARD TO RESTART.. ITS FRUSTRATING TO LOVE THE CAR AND CANT EVER SEEM TO GET IT RIGHT., IT ALWAYS SEEMS TO HAVE A PROBLEM. I MONITOR NISSAN'S WEBSITE TO SEE IF THEY HAVE ANY TSB'S WHEN I HAVE AN ISSUSE AN NORMALLY I FIND THERES SOMETHING FROM FEW YEARS BACK THAT HAD A RECALL FOR IT.

TAKATA RECALL I HAVE HAD MY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG REPLACED BUT HAVE NOT BEEN NOTIFIED IF THE DRIVER SIDE IS NECESSARY TO REPLACE.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY HERE IN WALDORF, MARYLAND WHEN THE AIRBAG INDICATOR KEEP ON FLASHING. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS EPISODE WILL NOT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

THE CAR HEAVILY BURNS OIL, THIS CAR AS WELL AS MANY OTHER CARS IN THE NISSAN LINE-UP WERE GIVEN THE VQ35DE MOTOR WHICH IS WELL KNOWN FOR BURNING OIL. I AM REQUIRED TO CHANGE MY OIL EVERY 3000 MILES BECAUSE IT BURNS A LOT OF OIL. I FILL UP THE ENGINE 5 QUARTS WHICH IS ABOVE RECOMMENDED BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO RISK RUNNING MY ENGINE DRY OF OIL BECAUSE IT GETS BURNED. EVERY 3000 MILES I GET RID OF ABOUT 2.8 QUARTS WHEN I START OFF WITH 5 QUARTS EACH OIL CHANGE. I ONLY DO CITY DRIVING AND NOT LONG DISTANCE DRIVING. MANY OTHER NISSAN VEHICLES ARE ALSO PLAGUED WITH THIS OIL BURNING ISSUE.

TAKATA RECALL: NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW MY VEHICLE WAS RECALLED EXCEPT NISSAN AND CAR FAX. LUCKILY I DOWNLOADED THE CAR FAX APP AND SAW THE RECALL. HOW IS IT THAT CAR FAX KNOWS ABOUT THE RECALL FOR MY VIN# BUT NHTSA DOESN'T KNOW? AND I WANST OFFERED A RENTAL OUT LOANER CAR.

TAKATA RECALL DRIVER AND PASSENGER WINDOWS WERE BOTH DOWN ON 11/9/17 AROUND 8AM IN THE MORNING. BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER WINDOW WERE ALL THE WAY DOWN. I DID LEAVE THE DOORS UNLOCKED OR WINDOWS DOWN WHEN I WENT TO SLEEP. THE CAR WAS STATIONARY ON A REGULAR STREET PARKED OVER NIGHT.

TAKATA RECALL I LIVE IN OCALA FLORIDA I HAVE CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP ABOUT GETTING THE RECALL FIXED. THE PROBLEM IS THEY WANT ME TO LEAVE MY CAR WITH THEM. I HAVE A FULL-TIME JOB A CHILD AND AN ELDERLY PARENT I NEED TO HAVE ACCESS TO TRANSPORTATION. THEY OFFERED TO SHUTTLE ME SOMEWHERE BUT THAT'S NOT ACCEPTABLE SO I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO GET THE REPAIRS DONE. WHAT OTHER CHOICES ARE THRE?

WHILE DRIVING CAR JUST STOPS, NO FUEL, NO POWER, NO POWER STEERING, NO ELECTRICAL, NOTHING EVERYTHING SHUTS OFF. RESTART NO ISSUES RUNS FOR AWHILE AND HAPPENED AGAIN TWO MORE TIMES. SO THREE TIMES TOTAL. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 03V455000. TOOK IT TO DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY DON'T HONOR THIS BECAUSE IT IS NOT A NISSAN RECALL? WHAT?
