| 2006 | SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC | I PURCHASED MY 06' MAXIMA IN 08' I HAD IT FOR ABOUT 2 MONTHS AND THE CD PLAYER DOESNT PLAY ANY THING IT SKIPS SPITS THE CD OUT AND AN ERROR MESG. COMES UP. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY "FIXED IT" SO THEY SAY 1 WEEK LATER IT STARTS WITH THE SAME ISSUE I CALLED AND THEY SAID THEY CAN DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT MAYBE ITS THE CD. SO I NEVER GOT THAT ISSUE FIXED. AN OTHER ISSUE IS MY CAR HAS ABOUT 70K MILES AND EVERY TIME THE CAR GOES 20-30 MPH IT HAS A HARD HIT TO CHANGE GEARS EVERY TIME. MY CAR GET SERVICED EVERY 3-4 MONTHS AND NOW I NEED A NEW TRANMISSION!! I ONLY WORK ABOUT 20 MILES FROM WHERE I LIVE HOW CAN THAT BE? ALSO I HAD TO REPLACE SOME KIND OF BRAKE PART. EVERY TIME I WENT TO BRAKE THE CAR MADE THIS NOISE AND IT STARTED TO SHAKE THE SOUND WAS THIS GRINDING SOUND THEN AN OTHER SOUND STARTED LIKE WHEN YOU PRESS THE BRAKES AND THE ROADS ARE WET. BUT SHAKING REAL BAD. I WENT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID ITS W & T ON THE CAR. WHEN I ASKED HIM HOW OFFTEN THIS HAPPENS AND HE SAID NOT THAT OFFTEN SO HOW CAN THAT BE? OTHER THAN THAT ITS LITTLE THING LIKE MY TRUCK LOCK DOESNT STAY PUT I HAVE TO TIGHTEN THE BOLTS OF IT ONCE AWEEK PLEASE MAKE NISSAN DO A RE-CALL I HAVE READ ALL THE COMPALINTS AND THEY ARE ALL THE SAME AND EXPENSIVE ISSUE. *TR |
| 1999 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION | IN JUNE OF 2003, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER PAYING FOR THE EXPENSIVE COMPUTER DIAGNOSIS I WAS TOLD THAT ONE OF THE IGNITION COILS WAS BAD. HOWEVER THEY COULD NOT TELL WHICH ONE AND I WOULD NEED TO REPLACE ALL OF THEM EVENTUALLY. SINCE IT WAS SO EXPENSIVE MY MECHANIC SAID WE COULD START BY REPLACING ONE AT A TIME THAT WORKED FINE UP UNTIL NOW. RECENTLY MY CAR HAS STALLED IN TRAFFIC. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY IF SO MANY PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS, WHY A RECALL IS NOT BEING DONE AT NISSAN'S EXPENSE. I WISH I WOULD HAVE FOUND THIS WEBSITE BEFORE I PURCHASED MY MAXIMA. I WILL THINK TWICE BEFORE BUYING ANOTHER NISSAN. *JB |
