POWER TRAIN
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.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
DASH DEFECT. THE DASH ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE LOOKS LIKE MELTED TAR CREATING A GLARE WHILE DRIVING. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST NISSAN'S 2008 & 2009 ALTIMAS THAT HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. WHEN I CONTACTED NISSAN USA (CASE # 2716855) THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY COULD OFFER TO PAY FOR HALF OF THE REPAIR WHICH WOULD STILL BE $1000 OUT OF POCKET. MY QUESTION IS; ARE THEY WAITING FOR A FATAL ACCIDENT TO HAPPEN BEFORE THEY OFFER A CAMPAIGN FOR RECALL? YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

POWER TRAIN
VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY AND I WAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE AND THE CAR DID NOT RESPOND. I COASTED TO THE EMERGENCY LANE. MY CARS TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT ENGAGE. I WAS STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY FOR TWO HOURS, UNTIL THE TOW TRUCK ARRIVED. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION I FOUND THAT NISSAN MAXIMA'S WERE RECALLED FROM 2003-2010 FOR CVT TRANSMISSION FAILURES. NISSAN DOUBLED THE WARRANTY (10 YEARS, 120,000 MILES). MY VEHICLE HAD THE SAME CVT TRANSMISSION ISSUE AND I HAD 110,000 MILES WHEN THE INCIDENT OCCURRED. NISSAN PUT THE SAME FAULTY CVT TRANSMISSION IN MY CAR AS THEY DID THE PREVIOUS YEARS. I AM REQUESTING A REFUND FOR REPAIRS AND CAR RENTAL (CVT TRANSMISSION $2,443.87, CAR RENTAL $550.04). UPON REQUEST I CAN PROVIDE RECEIPTS. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND I COULD HAVE BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT ON THE HIGHWAY AND BEEN INJURED OR INJURED SOMEONE ELSE.

POWER TRAIN
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.
