The contact owns a 2004 Nissan Maxima. The contact stated that while driving 15 MPH, the ABS independently activated. In addition, the contact became aware of an abnormal sound. The failure was a persistent failure. The failure mileage was approximately 200,000.

The contact owns a 2004 Nissan Maxima. The contact stated while driving 60 MPH, the vehicle made an abnormally loud popping sound, and the contact noticed that the sky view roof glass had shattered. The contact stated that pieces of shattered glass had fallen inside the vehicle. The contact pulled over to the side of the road. The contact had not sustained any injuries and resumed driving. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the contact was informed that the VIN was not included in a recall. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and confirmed that the VIN was not included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 04V326000 (Visibility). The failure mileage was 165,000.

UNKNOWN - I recently purchased this vehicle today from a private seller on April 18, 2023. Previous owner had stated the driver seat adjuster motor(to move the seat forward and backwards) has never functioned properly and gets stuck in the far back position or rotates counterclockwise at times(while remaining in the far back position). This is a big safety issue for me as it is very difficult to reach the brake and gas pedals without compromising my field of vision whilst driving. I did a VIN check on vincheck.info and it comfirms a recall report for this specific seating problem for this vehicle's year, make, and model. As for everything else, it is unknown as I did just recently purchase the vehicle.

04V326000 ONE OF THE RECALL NUMBER THE OTHER IS 05V512000 NOT SURE WHAT TO DO AT THIS POINT I'VE CHANGED MY TIMING CHAIN ALSO ALREADY I ALSO RECEIVED A LETTER STATING IF I HAD TO REPLACE IT TO CONTACT NISSAN I BELIEVE I'M JUST GETTING THE RUN AROUND

TIMING CHAIN FAILURE. TIMING CHAIN WAS BAD FROM DAY ONE. SPENT NEARLY 4000 DOLLARS FOR REPAIR. THEN TO LOOK UP ONLINE AND FIND OUT MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAD PROBLEM. NOW A FEW YEARS LATER. SAME PROBLEM

FOR STARTERS I REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR THEN THE BATTERY AND THEN THE CRANKSHAFT SENOR AND THEN DORMAN THAT IS ON THE POSSESSIVE SIDE OF THE BATTERY. AND IT DOESN'T WANT TO START STILL. NOW JUST MAYBE YOU CAN HELP ME ON THIS.

WHEN IT RAINS THE BACK PASSENGER DOOR HAS WATER IN THE DOOR AND SOAKS THE BACK FLOOR

CAR FAILED SAFETY INSPECTION DUE TO RUSTING OF FLOORBOARDS ON DRIVER AND FRONT PASSENGER SIDE. TURNS OUT THIS IS A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM WITH MODEL YEARS 2002-2006. HOW CAN THIS NOT BE A SAFETY ISSUE??

FRONT SUBFRAME COMPLETELY ROTTED OUT LOWER CONTROL ARM BECOME UNATTACHED, HAD TO REPAIR SUBFRAME AND ALL COMPONENTS, ABSOLUTELY A SAFETY RISK, MANY RECALL ON THESE VEHICLES BUT I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THEY DON'T HAVE ONE FOR THIS VEHICLE

ME AND MY BOYFRIEND WERE SOLD THIS CAR FOR 2500 AND THE CAR NEEDED A NEW BATTERY, A NEW CONVERTER . ONCE I BROUGHT THOSE ITEMS AND PUT THEM IN THE CAR STARTED HAVING COMPRESSION PROBLEMS TO THE POINT IT HAS A SLOW TAKE OFF , CANNOT GO UP HILLS , AND WE HAVE TO SHIFT GEARS JUST FOR IT TO MOVE .. THIS CAR WAS SOLD TO US LIKE THIS AND WE ALMOST FELL OFF A CLIFF BECAUSE OF THE COMPRESSION PROBLEM AND NOT BEING ABLE TO GO UP ANY HILLS .. THE PEOPLE WHO SOLD US THE CAR SAID THEY WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM OR REFUND OUR MONEY .

THE FLOOR BOARDS ON BOTH THE DRIVERS AND PASSENGER SIDE FRONT HAVE RUSTED OUT. MOST OF THE OTHER METAL/ FLOORING HAS NOT RUSTED OUT LIKE IT HAS IN THESE TWO SPOTS. THE RUST DOES SEEM TO LEAD UP CLOSE TO THE SUB FRAME WHICH WORRIES ME OF THE INTEGRITY OF THE FRAME. THE FLOORING HAS RUSTED OUT TO THE FABRIC/INSULATION PORTION OF THE INTERIOR. ALSO OF CONCERN IS WHEN YOU ARE GETTING IN AND OUT OF THE CAR THE FLOOR IS SO WEAK THAT YOUR FOOT/LEG COULD GO THROUGH IT. IN TIME YOUR FEET CAN AND WILL GO THROUGH THE FLOOR WITH OUT WARNING.

THE BODY CONTROL MODULE KEEPS THE FRONT AND BACK LIGHTS FROM WORKING. THE TAIL LIGHTS ALSO NOT WORKING. THE LICENSE PLATE LIGHTS NOT WORKING COST FOR REPLACING WITH LABOR AND TAX IS OVER 1K IN CALIFORNIA. WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT I COULD NOT SEE THE ROAD. I HAD TO PULL OVER AND GET TOWED HOME.

WHEN IN MOTION THE TRANSMISSION STARTS TO SLIP IN 1 AND 2 GEAR THEN 4 AND 5 GEAR JUMPS OUT OF GEAR THEN GOES IN TO LIMP MODE

CAR WAS FINE INITIALLY THEN STARTED CAR WHICH TOOK LONGER THAN NORMAL TO START AND CAR WOULD NOT HARDLY GO DUE TO IT NOT BEING IN 1ST GEAR. PUT THE TRANSMISSION INTO MANUAL MODE AND DOWNSHIFTED IT TO FIRST AND GOT A HARD CLUNK BUT CAR WOULD NOW GO UNDER ITS OWN POWER BUT WHEN YOU PUT IT BACK IN AUTO MODE IT GOES STRAIGHT TO 3RD GEAR. SHUT CAR OFF CAME BACK LATER AND STARTED CAR IT STARTED RIGHT UP AND HAD NO ISSUES WITH TRANSMISSION. DROVE IT FOR A BIT TURNED CAR OFF FOR A BIT AND THEN WENT TO START AGAIN AND HAD THE LONG START AND BAD SHIFTS AGAIN.

WHEN DRIVING THE CAR WIL LOSE POWER AND START JERKING BADLY, CUTTING BACK LIKE LOSING POWER. IT FEELS AS IF IT IS GOING TO STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I TOOK IT TO A WELL KNOW TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH SEVERAL NISSAN CARS INCLUDING MINE. THERE ARE SEVERAL RECALLS INCLUDING THE 2003 BUT NOT MY YEAR,I'M CONFUSED AND IT'S GETTING WORSE. BUT IT'S A KNOWN ISSUE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND. MY SAFETY IS WARRANTED???

WHENEVER I ACCELERATE AND THE SPEEDOMETER HITS 20 MPH THE TRANSMISSION JERKS OR IF I'M GOING 60 MPH ON THE FREEWAY AND START TO BRAKE AND AS MY SPEED IS DECREASING WHEN THE SPEEDOMETER HITS 20 MPH IT JERKS. THE TRANSMISSION MUST BE SLIPPING OR HAVE AN ISSUE.

THE FLOOR BOARDS RUSTED OUT ON BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDES AND WE WERE NOT AWARE BECAUSE THE CARPET COVERED BUT YOU CAN FIT A FIST THROUGH EACH ONE! SHOULD NOT HAPPEN!!

THESE TRANSMISSION SHOULD OF BEEN RECALLED YEARS AGO I ALWAYS TEND TO FEEL A GEAR JUMP IN THE FIRST GEARS WHEN ABOUT TO START MOVING THE CAR OR BRAKING. THIS CAN BE A SERIOUS PROBLEM WHEN YOU SUDDENLY NEED TO MAKE A HARD STOP AND THE TRANSMISSION WILL MAKE A HUGE JUMP THEN STOP AND WITH THAT EXTRA TIME IT TAKES TO JUMP THEM STOP CAN BE A MINOR INJURY IF A PEDESTRIAN IS PRESENT OR EVEN DEATH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN THE GARAGE AT THE CONTACT'S HOME, THE HOOD BLEW UP AND THE FRONT END BURST INTO FLAMES. THE CONTACT OPENED THE GARAGE DOOR AND EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. THE MAINTENANCE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO FIVE STAR NISSAN OF FLORENCE (311 N CASHUA DR, FLORENCE, SC 29501, 843-628-0032) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SPEED SENSOR FAILED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE INSURANCE COMPANY TOTALED THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 96,149.

TRANSMISSION SLIPPING

ON SUNDAY, MARCH 4, 2018, IN THE MORNING AROUND A 11 AM, I WAS DRIVING MY 2004 MAXIMA AND IT STARTED TO LOOSE POWER AND TURNED OFF. I TRIED SEVERAL TIMES TO START IT, BUT IT WOULDN'T HOLD THE IDLE AND TURNED OFF AGAIN. NO NISSAN DEALERSHIP OR REPAIR SHOP WAS OPEN SO I CALLED THE NEAREST PEP BOYS SHOP TO MY HOME AND THEY TOWED MY CAR TO THEIR REPAIR SHOP. THEY SAID MY CAR WAS TOTALLY DEAD AND NEEDED A NEW BATTERY EVEN THOUGH MY BATTERY WASN'T THAT OLD. I PURCHASED A BATTERY, STILL WOULDN'T START. PEP BOYS THEN SAID I NEEDED A NEW ALTERNATOR, SO THAT WAS INSTALLED, STILL WOULDN'T START. THEY THEN SAID IT MUST BE THE ENGINE, SO THE NEXT DAY, MONDAY, MARCH 4, 2018, IT WAS TOWED TO THE FAIRFIELD, CT NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHERE IT IS CURRENTLY UNTIL I CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO. AFTER 3 DAYS, OF CALLING THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS WRONG WITH MY CAR, BET, IN THE NISSAN SERVICE DEPARTMENT TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD TAKEN OFF THE SIDE OF MY ENGINE AND TRIED TO MANUALLY TURN THE DRIVE SHAFT, BUT IT WOULDN'T TURN AND THAT IT WAS THE TIMING CHAIN AND THAT IT WOULD COST ANYWHERE FROM $2,600.00 TO $3,600.00 TO REPAIR MY CAR. PLEASE HELP WITH START A CASE, I CAN'T AFFORD THIS. I'M IN SCHOOL FOR PARALEGAL STUDIES AND A CT LICENSED TAX PREPARER

TAKATA RECALL ON LIGHT KEEPS GOING OFF! ALREADY REPLACED BULB BUT IT STILL GOES OFF AND COMES BACK ON WHEN YOU TURN IT ON!

MY COMPLAINTS IS DUE TO THE CHEAP STEAL THAT NISSAN USES TO BUILD THERE VEHICLES JUST TO SAVE A BUCK. WHEN I TAKE MY CAR IN FOR AN INSPECTION AND IT FAILED BECAUSE THE PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR PANEL HAS HOLES IN THE THE FLOOR THAT YOU COULD STEP RIGHT TRHU. THAT IS NOT THE ONLY ROT FROM RUST THE FRAME OF THE VEHICLE UP FRONT HAS ROTTED SO BAD THAT THE PART OF THE FRAME THAT HOLDS THE MOTOR IN THE VEHICLE HAS ROTTED SO BAD THAT THE INSPECTOR WAS WORRIED ABOUT ME DRIVING HOME AFTER I HAD FAILED THE INSPECTION. THIS WAS DISCOVERED BY A MECHANIC THAT WAS GOING TO FIX MY EXHAUST UP FRONT. I AM A DISABLED VETERAN AND THIS CAR WITH A REAL FRAME ON IT WOULD HAVE LASTED MANY MORE YEARS AND I JUST DO NOT HAVE THE FUNDS TO RUN OUT AND BUY A NEW CAR. THIS IS THE MANUFACTURES FAULT AND THEY SHOULD BE PAYING FOR IT TO BE FIXED. SOUNDS LIKE THE SAME PROBLEM THAT THEY HAD ON ALL OF THOSE PICKUPS THAT THEY HAD TO FIX. WHAT IS THIS GOING TO THAT THE MOTOR TO FALL OUT ON THE HIGH WAY AND KILL SOMEONE. THIS IS AND HAS BEEN A BIG PROBLEM WITH THIS COMPANY GOING ON FOR YEARS. SOMEONE DO SOMETHING FOR THE CONSUMER. AFTER PAYING $40,000.00 DOLLARS FOR THIS CAR I THOUGHT I WOULD GET MORE OUT OF IT THAN HAVING IT ROT OUT FROM UNDER ME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS UNOCCUPIED AND IT CAUGHT FIRE FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. A FIRE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. A LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TRANSMISSION JERKS FROM P TO DR, JERKS WHEN DOWN AND UP SHIFTING. DOES NOT SEEM SAFE. 73, 0000 MILES ON VEHICLE

ENGINE RECALL I WAS DRIVING MY CAR AND WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE CAR CAUGHT ON FIRE. I WAS ON HIGHWAY 62 EAST IN MINNEAPOLIS MN GOING THE SPEED LIMIT 60 MILES AND I LOOK AND SEEN SMOKE COMING FROM HOOD AND THE BACK OF MY CAR FROM THE TAIL PIPES.

THE TRANSMISSION IS HAVING ISSUES WHEN CHANGING GEARS. IT STARTING TO HESITATE BETWEEN FIRST GEAR AND SECOND AND SECOND TO THIRD. MY VEHICLE HAS ONLY 85,000 MILES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING SERVICED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, THE WIRING UNDERNEATH THE DRIVER'S SEAT CAUGHT FIRE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS NOT CONTACTED. AN AUTO TECHNICIAN EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC STATED THAT A WIRE BURNED THROUGH, WHICH LIKELY CAUSED THE FIRE. THE CONTACT WAS UNSURE OF WHAT REPAIRS WERE NEEDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY SERVICED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 05V512000 (SEATS). THE CONTACT SPOKE WITH TIM DAHLE NISSAN (4528 STATE ST, MURRAY, UT 84107) WHO STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT ASSIST AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO SPEAK WITH THE MANUFACTURER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THEY WERE NOT LIABLE SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 175,000.

THE TRANSMISSION IS JERKING WHEN IT'S TRYING TO SHIFT

I JUST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE THIS YEAR AS A USED VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAS STARTED TO JERKING AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHEN I PRESS THE GAS. IT TAKES AT LEAST 1 MINUTE THEN THE RPM SHOOTS UP. SOMETIMES I FEEL THAT I AM GOING TO GET WHIPLASH FROM ALL THE JERKING THIS VEHICLE DOES. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION WHEN NISSAN KNEW ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION IN THESE VEHICLES. THEY SHOULD BE HOLD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS AND REPLACE ALL THE TRANSMISSIONS IN THESE VEHICLES AND PAY OTHER INDIVIDUALS BACK THEIR MONEY THAT HAS ALREADY PAID TO REPLACE THEIR TRANSMISSION.

TAKATA RECALL I HAVE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS

VEHICLE HAS 91000 MILES ON IT AND TRANSMISSION IS FAILING.(JERKS WHEN VEHICLE TAKES OFF FROM STATIONARY POSITION. FRONT END GIVES ROUGH RIDE, AFTER REPLACING STRUTS.

TRANSMISSION IS STUCK IN 5TH GEAR WHEN GOING FORWARD. SHIFTING TO REVERSE OR ATTEMPTING TO DOWNSHIFT CAUSES SERIOUS JERKING (THUMP). THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE ELECTRONIC IN NATURE BECAUSE RESTARTING THE VEHICLE WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM WHEN IT FIRST STARTED OCCURRING. NOW, RESTARTING THE ENGINE DOES NOT FIX IT. NISSAN HAS CERTAINLY KNOWN ABOUT THE PROBLEM FOR YEARS, SINCE MANY COMPLAINTS OCCURRED WHEN THE VEHICLES HAD FAIRLY LOW MILEAGE.

MY 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA SHUTS DOWN WHILE RUNNING, CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION TO DEFAULT INTO 5TH GEAR, (2-4 GEARS EFFECTIVELY DISAPPEAR) AND THE ALL ELECTRICITY , RADIO, A/C, AND POWER STEERING TO SHUT DOWN. ON STRAIGHT HIGHWAYS ONE CAN KEEP DRIVING BY SHIFTING INTO NEUTRAL IMMEDIATELY, AND TRYING TO RESTART THE ENGINE WITH THE KEY. USUALLY IT RESTARTS AND RUNS BUT IN A DEFICIENT POWER MODE. THE VDC LIGHT APPEARS, LETTING YOU KNOW THAT THE TRANSMISSION WILL BE STUCK IN 5TH GEAR, WITH THE OPTION OF MANUALLY STARTING IN 1ST GEAR. EITHER SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO AUTOMATIC OR MANUALLY TO ANOTHER GEAR, DEFAULTS THE CAR INTO GEAR 5. THE CAR IS DRIVE-ABLE IN THIS CONDITION, BUT ONE HAS AT STOPLIGHTS, TO IMMEDIATELY SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL, AND MANUALLY WITH FOOT PEDAL, KEEP THE RPMS ABOVE 1100. FORTUNATELY I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT. IF TURNING A CORNER, AND NOT VERY STRONG, I'D HAVE NO CONTROL OVER MY CAR. WITHOUT POWER STEERING WORKING THE WHEEL IS VERY HARD TO TURN. FINALLY ONE DAY, THE CAR WOULD NOT START ON COLD START. IT WOULD OCCASIONALLY ALMOST FIRE, MAKE SOME REVOLUTIONS,BUT THEN WOULD ONLY TURN ON POWER OF THE STARTER. THE FIRST MECHANIC GAVE AN ESTIMATE OF $3600 TO REPLACE THE TIMING CHAIN THE PROBLEM ORIGINALLY DID NOT EXIST WHEN ENGINE WAS COLD, BUT AFTER ENGINE WARMS UP, AT THE FIRST TIME THE RPM'S FALL BELOW 1000, THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF... USUALLY WAITING FOR A COLD ENGINE AGAIN, CAUSES THE CAR TO START UP IN ORIGINAL FORM.

I HAVE POWER SEATS. WHILE DRIVING THE SEAT ON THE DRIVER SIDE MOVES AUTOMATICALLY WITHOUT PUSHING THE BUTTONS. THE SEAT MOVES UP TOWARDS THE STIRRING WHEEL AND SOMETIMES WILL NOT STOP. IT HAS MOVED SO CLOSE THAT I HAD TO LEAN THE SEAT BACK TO KEEP FROM HAVING AN ACCIDENT. IT ALSO MOVES BACK THE SAME WAY. THE CAUSE IS UNKNOWN .

PROBLEM WITH TRANSMISSION STARTED SOON AFTER I PURCHASED CAR, I WOULD SAY IN THE FIRST YEAR I HAD IT WHICH WAS IN 2003, ALTHOUGH IT IS A 2004. I TOOK IT IN MORE THAN ONCE WHEN THE TRANSMISSION STARTED CAUSING TROUBLE. IT WOULD ACT (AND STILL DOES TO THIS DAY) AS IF IT HAD/HAS BEEN KNOCKED OUT OF GEAR, RPM GOES UP AND THEN THE TRANSMISSION PICKS BACK UP. WHEN THAT HAPPENS IT WILL JERK REALLY HARD AND TAKE OFF. AS I SAID, I TOOK IT TO MY NISSAN DEALER AND EACH TIME WAS TOLD THEY DID NOT FIND ANY THING WRONG WITH IT. THIS IS MY 5TH MAXIMA, AND HAVE TO SAY IT IS MY LAST. THE SON OF A WOMAN I USED TO WORK WITH HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH HIS 2004 MAXIMA, WHICH HE BOUGHT USED. HE TRADED IT FOR SOMETHING ELSE. MY CAR IS STILL GOING, ALTHOUGH THE PROBLEM DOES NOT SEEM TO BE HAPPENING MORE OFTEN, BUT DOES SEEM TO BE MORE SEVERE WHEN IT DOES HAPPEN.

MY CAR IS JERKING AND BUCKING REALLY BADLY WHILE INTO GEAR ALSO WHILE COMING TO STOPS AND DRIVING ALONG. THE TAKE OFF IS SLOW AND HESITANT AND IT LOSES POWER AT TIMES WHILE DRIVING. WHILE PUTTING IT IN GEAR IT JERKS REALLY HARD AS WELL. PLEASE HELP! I CAN NOT AFFORD TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AND I NEED MY TRANSPORTATION FOR WORK

WHEN GIVING GAS TO ACCELERATE, THE CAR WILL JERK/JUMP GOING FROM 1 TO 2 RPMS

AFTER 100,000 MILES TRANSMISSION STARTED SHOES OF FAILURE. SHIFTING PAST SECOND GRAR WOULD CAUSE THE CAR TO STALLL, THEN BUCK. CAR WOULD ALSO BUCK WHEN ACCELERATING AT HIGH SPEEDS. ALSO THE CAR WOULD STALL AND THE ACCELERATOR WOULD BECOME UNRESPONSIVE WHEN SHIFTING AT HIGH SPEEDS. FORCED TO RELEASE THE ACCELORATOT AND THE PRESS IT AGAIN, UNTIL THE TRANSMISSION WOULD SHIFT CORRECTLY AND "CATCH" THE GEAR. MASSIVE GAS CONSUMPTION CAUSED BY FAULTY TRANSMISSION. MOST ERRORS CAUSED WHEN SHIFTING IN HIGH SPEED OR UPHILL. SPECIFICALLY WHEN SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR. CAR WOULD SLOW DOWN AND WORK HARDER TO ACCELERATE AFTER DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS FOR ANY PERIOD OF TIME. TRANSMISSION SHIFTS WOULD CAUSE BUCKING AND THE BODY OF THE CAR TO JERK AND SHAKE.

THE GLASS OF THE SKYVIEW SUN ROOF SHATTERED. AT THE TIME DISCOVERED THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED.

DOWN SHIFTING IN LOWER GEAR OR UPSHIFTING FROM LOWER TO HIGHER GEAR LOUD BANG IN TRANSMSSION

TRANSMISSION FAILURE AT 100K MILES

THE FLOOR PANEL ON THE PASSENGER SIDE HAS A HOLE IN IT DUE TO RUST AND ROT. IT FAILED THE STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE SAFETY INSPECTION, MY CAR IS A 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA SE, AND I AM A DISABLED MARINE VETERAN. I TOOK IT TO A BODY SHOP AND THERE COST WAS $800.00 DOLLARS AND FOR ME BEING DISABLED I CAN NOT AFFORD THAT COST. NISSAN NEEDS TO STEP UP HERE AND FIX WHAT IS RIGHT, NOT TO CALL ME AND TRY TO SELL ME A NEW CAR. I TOLD THE DEALER WHO IS GOING TO PAY FOR THIS NEW CAR. I AM SO SICK OF BEING A DISABLED MARINE VETERAN AND BEING TREATED LIKE CRAP. MOST PEOPLE JUST DO NOT GIVE A CRAP THEY JUST WANT YOUR MONEY, SOMETHING I DO NOT HAVE. MY CAR WAS IN A GARAGE MOST OF THE TIME IN A SMALL TOWN.

ON OCTOBER 5, 2016 MY HUSBAND CAME HOME FROM PT AND PARKED THE CAR UNDER OUR CARPORT. WHEN HE GOT OUT OF THE CAR THERE WAS NOT SIGNS OF SMOKE OR ANY WARNING LIGHTS ON IN THE CAR. HE CAME IN THE HOUSE AND STARTED TO GET DRESSED AND ABOUT 10 MINUTES LATER OUR NEIGHBOR WAS KNOCKING ON THE DOOR" SCREAMING YOUR CAR IS ON FIRE". THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CALLED OUT TO PUT OUT THE FIRE AND AFTER IT WAS OUT THEY FOUND THAT THE FIRE STARTED IN THE ENGINE AND RULED IT AN ELECTRICAL FIRE. I CALLED NNA AND EXPLAINED WHAT HAPPENED, SENT PHOTOS, THE POLICE REPORT, AND FIRE REPORT AND THEY STATED THAT IT WOULD TAKE 6 WEEKS FOR THEM TO EVEN DECIDE IF THEY WOULD INVESTIGATE AND THAT THEY WOULD NOT HELP WITH ANY FEES TO HAVE THE CAR PRESERVED. WE LIVE ON A MILITARY BASE SO WE HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED AWAY SO THAT MILITARY HOUSING COULD ASSESS THE DAMAGE THAT WAS DONE TO THE CARPORT AND WE CAN NOT AFFORD TO PAY DAILY FOR HAVING THE CAR SIT AT A TOW YARD WHILE NISSAN DECIDES IF THE WILL EVEN INVESTIGATE THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE. I REALLY FEEL LIKE THERE SHOULD BE A CLASS ACTION AGAINST NISSAN BECAUSE WITH ALL THESE COMPLAINTS THIS CAN'T JUST BE ISOLATED INCIDENTS. *TR

I WAS PULLING OUT AT A STOP SIGN FOR A LEFT TURN WHEN ALL A SUDDEN THE CAR JERKED AND I HEARD A LOUD BANG. THIS WAS MY TRANSMISSION LETTING GO. I WAS STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. LUCKILY SOMEONE STOPPED AND HELPED ME PUSH THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.

TRANSMISSION SHIFT POORLY, HIGH REV INBETWEEN SHIFTS, HARD DOWN SHIFTS AND EXTREMELY HARD UP SHIFTS. VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE DURING ICY CONDITIONS DUE TO THE HIGH REV AND HARD DOWN SHIFTS THAT CAUSE UNCONTROLLABLE LOSS OF DRIVING. *TR

I'M EXPERIENCING THE SAME AS EVERYONE ELSE WITH THE 02-06 NISSANS. MY FLOOR BOARDS ARE RUSTING OUT AND THESE COMPLAINTS ARE ALL OVER THE INTERNET. I'M AMAZED THAT THIS CAN BE IGNORED

TRANSMISSION JERKS WHEN DOWNSHIFTING ON HIGHWAY AND ROADS, THIS IS A VERY HARD JERK THAT IS VERY HAZARDOUS. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH ONLINE AND THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS WITH THE SAME VEHICLE.

FUEL PRESSURE DAMPNER LEAKING GAS AFTER 72,000 MILES ON 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA. THERE ARE TWO ON FUEL RAIL. IF CLIMATE CONTROL VENT IS OPEN, ONE CAN SMELL GAS IF THERE IS A PROBLEM. VERY POOR DESIGN TO FIX 3 HOURS LABOR TO PULL INTAKE MANIFOLD OFF TO REPAIR, BOLTS UPSIDE DOWN ON DAMPNER AND HARD TO GET TO. JUST REPLACING DAMPNERS DID NOT STOP LEAK, FUEL RAIL ALSO HAD TO BE REPLACED.

VERY HARD SHIFTING AND DELAY FROM PARK TO DRIVE, HARD SHIFT FROM PARK TO REVERS
