2004 Nissan Maxima complaints

ON OR ABOUT THE EVENING OF OCTOBER 23, 2007, I HEARD A LOUD BOOM! AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. I DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING AIRBORNE, OR FEEL ANY SORT OF IMPACT. AT FIRST I THOUGHT SOMEONE HAD BLOWN-OUT THEIR TIRE, BUT THERE WERE NO CARS AROUND US. SO I PARKED AND LOOKED AT MY TIRES. ALL ALL MY TIRES WERE FINE, AND THERE WAS NO SIGN THAT ANYTHING HAD HIT THE BODY ANYWHERE IN THE FRONT, REAR OR SIDES OF THE VEHICLE. HOWEVER, THE NEXT MORNING IT WAS DRIZZLING, AND AS I WAS PULLING OUT, I NOTICED A SMALL TRICKLE OF WATER COMING FROM THE LIGHT PANEL ABOVE. IT WAS SEEPING IN FROM THE ROOF SOMEHOW. THIS WAS STRANGE, BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE A SUNROOF --ONLY A SKYVIEW AND THAT DOESN'T OPEN. I SLID BACK THE ROOF PANELS TO INVESTIGATE. AS THE DAYLIGHT SHINED THROUGH I WAS HORRIFIED TO FIND THE SKYVIEW WINDOW FULL OF CRACKS. IT LOOKED LIKED CRACKED ICE WHICH STARTED ABOVE THE FRONTSEAT AREA, AND CONTINUED INTO THE BACKSEAT AREA. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED 1-800- NISSAN-1 AND REPORTED THIS TO CUSTOMER CARE REP. CHRISTINE BASILLE X. 51276, AND TOLD HER WHAT HAD HAPPENED. FURTHERMORE, I TOLD HER THAT I HAD RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ABOUT THE SKYVIEW WITH MY VIN SOME YEARS EARLIER, BACK IN 2004. I WAS TOLD TO CONTACT NISSAN WHETHER I HAD EXPERIENCED ANY PROBLEMS WITH IT OR NOT. I TOLD HER THAT IN 2004, I HAD TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER IN RESPONSE TO THE RECALL BACK THEN. THE DEALER HAD KEPT MY VEHICLE OVERNIGHT TO INSPECT IT, BUT CHOSE NOT TO REPLACE MY SKYVIEW SAYING SOMETHING LIKE MY VEHICLE DIDN'T APPE

I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA THAT A FRIEND WAS DRIVING ON SUNDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 23,2007. THERE WAS 3 OF US IN THE CAR.

I TOOK POSSESSION OF MY 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA IN THE FIRST WEEK OF JANUARY 2005. I NOTICED A CONSTANT, BUT GRADUAL TIRE PRESSURE ISSUE. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY INDICATED THE TIRE HAD TO BE PATCHED. I ASKED ABOUT THE ACTUAL SIDEWALL AND THEY DID NOT FEEL THERE WERE ANY PROBLEMS INVOLVING THE SIDEWALLS. I TOOK THE CAR TO AN INDEPENDENT DEALERSHIP THAT FELT THERE WAS INDEED SOME MANUFACTURER PROBLEM WITH THE TIRES. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPORTED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS AND THAT THE WARRANTY WOULD NOT COVER THIS ISSUE. THEY EXPLAINED THAT IF I CHOSE TO I COULD INITIATE A CLAIM WITH BOTH OR EITHER THE GOOD YEAR EAGLE MANUFACTURER OR NISSAN. THE GOOD YEAR EAGLES INSTALLED ON MY MAXIMA HAD LESS THAN 11,000 MILES AND AS THE DEALERSHIP WAS NOT AMENABLE TO RECONCILING THEIR OPINION ON THE TIRES TO THAT OF AN INDEPENDENT TIRE INSPECTION I DECIDED THE BEST COURSE OF ACTION WAS TO REPLACE THE GOOD YEAR EAGLE TIRES WITH NOKIAN TIRES. THIS REPLACEMENT OCCURRED ON OCTOBER 6, 2006 WITH ONLY 11,000 MILES ON THE TIRES. I WAS VERY HESITANT TO DRIVE THE CAR DUE TO THE TIRE PRESSURE. I WAS FILLING THE TIRES EVERY TWO-THREE DAYS TO MAINTAIN SOME TYPE OF SAFETY WHILE DRIVING. WHEN I APPLIED FOR THE REIMBURSEMENT ON THE GOODYEAR EAGLE RS-A TIRES MY CLAIM WAS DENIED BECAUSE THERE WAS NO INDICATION THAT THE REPLACEMENT WAS DUE TO 'A SIDEWALL ISSUE.' WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MINDS WOULD WILLINGLY CHOOSE TO REPLACE 4 TIRES AT ONCE WITH BRAND NEW TIRES AT ONLY 11,000 MI

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA. THE VEHICLE HAS GOODYEAR EAGLE RS-A, SIZE P245/45R18 TIRES. THE CONTACT NOTICED CRACKS ON THE SIDEWALLS OF ALL FOUR TIRES. HE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN AUGUST OF 2007 REGARDING THE SIDEWALLS. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THEY WOULD ONLY REPLACE THEM IF HE COULD PRODUCE THE FAILED TIRES. THE CONTACT FELT THAT WAS UNACCEPTABLE. THE RECALL NUMBER WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 65,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000.

SIDEWALL CRACKS ON ALL 4 TIRES (GOODYEAR EAGLE RSA 245-45-18) ON MY 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA WERE APPARENT AT ABOUT 20-25,000 MILES. I WAS VERBALLY NOTIFIED ABOUT THIS DEFECT BY THE NISSAN DEALER, WHO RECOMMENDED A COMPLETE NEW SET OF TIRES. I WANTED A SECOND OPINION ABOUT THE CRACKS, AS THERE WAS STILL GOOD TREAD LEFT ON THE ORIGINAL TIRES. I TOOK THE CAR TO DISCOUNT TIRE CO. THEY ALSO SAID THAT THE TIRES WERE CRACKED AND THEREFORE UNSAFE. I HAD ALL 4 OF THEM REPLACED. UNFORTUNATELY, DISCOUNT TIRE COMPANY DIDN'T WRITE THE REASON FOR REPLACEMENT ON MY RECEIPT (CRACKED SIDEWALLS), AND BECAUSE OF THAT OMISSION, GOODYEAR HAS DENIED ME ANY REDRESS AT ALL. TO DATE, THEY STILL HAVEN'T EVEN SENT THE ORIGINAL RECEIPT BACK TO ME.

MY NISSAN MAXIMA TRANSMISSION IS GONE AND A LOT OF 04 MAXIMA'S WHICH IS MY YEAR IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND NISSAN DOESN'T CARE. *JB

AFTER REPLACING THREE OUT OF FOUR TIRES ON 5/29/07 FOR CRACKING AROUND THE ENTIRE OUTSIDE OF THE SIDEWALLS I RECEIVED A LETTER DATED JUNE 15,2007 STATING THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE TIRES. OBVIOUSLY I HAD ALREADY PAID $593.80 OUT OF POCKET. BECAUSE DOBBS WAS NOT NOTIFIED BY GOOD YEAR UNTIL JUNE (ACCORDING TO GOOD YEARS ASSISTANCE CENTER) THEY DID NOT PUT THE REASON FOR REPLACEMENT ON MY RECEIPT. I PROMPTLY RETURNED TO THE DOBBS LOCATION AND SPOKE WITH THEM AND THEY FILLED OUT THE CLAIM FORM PROVIDED BY GOOD YEAR TO VERIFY MY THREE TIRES WERE REPLACED FOR THAT REASON. I THEN SENT MY PAID RECEIPT ALONG WITH CLAIM FOR TO GOOD YEAR. NOW, ALMOST THREE MONTHS LATER GOOD YEAR IS REFUSING TO REFUND ME THEIR CONSUMER FOR A PROBLEM THEY KNOW EXISTS. THEIR REASONING, THE DOBBS EMPLOYEE DID NOT WRITE ON THE CLAIM FORM (A CLAIM FOR DESIGNED BY GOOD YEAR) WHY THE TIRES WERE REPLACED. COMMON SENSE WOULD TELL A CONSUMER AND THE EMPLOYEE AT DOBBS IF THEY ARE FILLLING OUT A CLAIM FORM, FOR A PROBLEM GOOD YEAR ADMITS THEY ARE HAVING WITH THEIR TIRES ,THAT IS WHY THE TIRES WERE REPLACED. I AM A VERY FRUSTRATED CONSUMER THAT HAD MY TIRES REPLACED DUE TO A SAFETY ISSUE AND NOW AM GETTING THE RUN AROUND FROM GOOD YEAR WHO IS FULLY AWARE THEY HAVE A PROBLEM. I GUESS IN THEIR MINDS I SHOULD HAVE CONTINUED DRIVING THE VEHICLE WITH THE TIRES CRACKED FOR AN ADDITIONAL TWO WEEKS UNTIL I GOT THEIR LETTER AND DOBBS WOULD HAVE NEVER CHARGED ME THE CONSUMER. NEVERMIND THE SAFETY OF THE CONSUMER AND THEIR PA
