UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I'm not sure what happened but all I know is my turns over but will not start. It has new battery, new alternator, both camshaft position sensors replaced. It has been at the mechanic shop for 2 weeks and they can't figure out the program. I have heard that the security system may have locked up on it preventing it from cranking but I am not sure but all I know is I don't have the money to get it towed or fixed now cuz I have already had to pay to get it towed and the shop. Please help me

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE INTELLIGENT KEY IS NOT BEING RECOGNIZED BY THE VEHICLE. ACTS AS IF THE KEY IS NOT WITHIN THE READING RANGE. THIS CAUSES THE DOORS TO STAY LOCKED/UNLOCKED WHEN USING THE FOB. ALSO, THE IGNITION WILL NOT TURN EVEN THOUGH THE FOB IS IN THE CAR. THE ACTUAL KEY HAS TO BE REMOVED FROM THE FOB IN ORDER TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE.

MY WIFE AND I PURCHASED A 2007 NISSAN MAXIMA FROM B.M.W AUTO DALLAS LLC. THE VEHICLE WAS ADVERTISED AS HAVING 137,000 MILES. DESPITE OTHER ISSUES WITH THE CAR, THE DECIDING FACTOR FOR THE PURCHASE WAS THE LOW MILES. AFTER PURCHASE, OUR MECHANIC DISCOVERED WHAT HE DESCRIBED AS "SHADY BUSINESS" UNDER THE HOOD AND RECOMMENDED WE CHECK THE VIN THROUGH CARFAX, AUTOCHECK, ETC. WE PURCHASED AN AUTOCHECK VEHICLE REPORT AND DISCOVERED THE ODOMETER WAS ROLLED BACK. FROM 166K IN 2016 TO 112K IN 1018. THE DEALER DID NOT DISCLOSE INFORMATION THAT WOULD HAVE IMPACTED PRICE, AT A MINIMUM AND OUR OVERALL BUYING DECISION. THE MILEAGE FRAUD ALSO IMPACTS THE FUTURE SELLING PRICE OF THE VEHICLE.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
IT STARTED WITH THE CAR NOT GOING OVER 40 MPH THE FIRST FEW MINUTES OF DRIVING AND THEN IT WOULD BE OK. I DIDN'T GET CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR ANY WARNING SIGNS, SO I DROVE IT LIKE THAT FOR 5 MONTHS UNTIL THE CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING, AND IT WON'T GO OVER 20 MPH. STILL NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE ENGINE TIMING CHAIN WAS OUT ALONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THE REPAIR COST WAS OVER $8000. A 12 YEAR-OLD CAR WITH 114,000 MILES IS HEADED TO THE JUNK YARD. I WAS THE FIRST AND ONLY OWNER OF THE CAR AND TOOK REALLY GOOD CARE OF IT BUT SAD TO SEE IT GO SO SOON.

POWER TRAIN
I HAD TO REPLACE MY TRANSMISSION JAN 2018 WITH NO ASSISTANCE FROM NISSAN. NOT EVEN A BREAK ON REPLACEMENT PRICING. 2007 MAXIMA WITH 78000 NOT DRIVEN HARD OR ON THE HIGHWAY FOR VERY LONG UNTIL 2 YEARS AGO. NOW THE REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION IS WHINING AND FLUCTUATION IN RPM'S. LAST MONTH I WAS PULLING INTO A SHOPPING CENTER ACROSS 3 LANES AND MY CAR ACCELERATED TO 2-3 MILES AND HOUR AND NO FASTER. I WAS THANKFUL I LEFT A LOT OF ROOM OTHERWISE THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN A NASTY ACCIDENT. I ONLY HAVE 7000 MILE ON THE REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION AND IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS WAS NOT HELPFUL AT ALL, THE LADY I SPOKE WITH SEEMS QUITE INDIFFERENT IN OUR CONVERSATION. I'M SURE SHE GETS A LOT OF ANGRY CALLS. I SPOKE WITH A TRANSMISSION REPAIR SHOP THAT TOLD ME THESE TRANSMISSIONS FAIL ALL OF THE TIME EVEN THE REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION. PRICE GOUGING AND SELLING BAD PARTS JUST TO INCREASE THEIR PROFIT MARGINS KNOWING NO INTERVENTION WILL HAPPEN.

2007 NISSAN MAXIMA HAS ISSUE WITH ABS ENGAGING CAUSING TRANSMISSION TO GO INTO A LIMP/SAFE MODE WHICH DOES NOT ALLOW YOU TO ACCELERATE EVEN WHEN GAS PEDAL IS FLOORED. ON LEFT TURN ALMOST T-BONE BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECT WHICH IS WELL DOCUMENTED SINCE 2004. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON ROADWAY 45 MPH. RECALL NEEDED PEOPLE ARE GOING TO GET KILLED IF THEY HAVEN'T ALREADY.

AIR BAGS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
DRIVER SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AFTER DRIVER SIDE DOOR WAS SHUT WHILE PARKED IN DRIVEWAY. TERRIBLE SHAKING WHEN GOING 60MPH AND ESPECIALLY BAD WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED, WHICH THEN CAUSE A HARD JERK OR PULL TO THE RIGHT. WHEELS WERE ALL FOUR BENT AT THE TIME I PURCHASED THE CAR, BUT DEALER NEVER FIXED ONE THING I LISTED AND HE AGREED TO FIX OR ATTEMPTED TO FIX BEFORE THE SALE. CAR WAS REPOSSESSED MONTHS LATER AND RESOLD AT PRIVATE AUCTION. THE NEW OWNERS NEED TO BE AWARE OF THE AIRBAGS THAT ARE MISSING. THIS CAR OBVIOUSLY WAS IN AN ACCIDENT AND DOES NOT SHOW UP ON ANY VEHICLE HISTORY REPORT BUT I AM UNABLE TO PROVE IT. THE VALUE OF THE CAR AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE WAS $4,000. THE NORMAL WAS $6,500 AT THAT TIME. IF I HAD KEPT THE POS, I'D PAY OVER $21,000 WITH INTEREST AND OTHER FEES INCLUDED. THIS IS FRAUD. I STRONGLY FEEL LIKE WE'RE DEALING WITH FRAUD IN THIS SITUATION, BUT UNFORTUNATELY I CANNOT PROVE IT BY MYSELF AND NO ONE WILL HELP ME PROVE IT.
