POWER TRAIN:AXLE ASSEMBLY:AXLE SHAFT
MY NISSAN MAXIMA (2001) BEGAN TO HARD TIME SHIFT BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND GEAR AT APPROX. 55,000 MILES. WHEN I REPORTED IT TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER TOOK LOOKING AT IT AND DID A DRIVING TEST AND FOUND THAT THERE WAS NO PROBLEM SHIFT FROM FIRST GEAR TO SECOND GEAR. AT THE 60,000 IT GOT WORSE AND WORSE SHIFT FROM FIRST GEAR TO SECOND GEAR. MOST OF THE TIME IT WOULDN'T SWITCH TO SECOND GEAR. NOW I AM HEARING THAT NISSAN HAD A RECALL. NISSAN RELEASED A BULLETIN TO ITS DEALERS, EXPLAINING THAT THERE WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM IN THE MAXIMA 2000 TO 2003 (AND OTHER MODELS AS WELL). THE BULLETIN INSTRUCTS THE DEALER TO REPLACE THE CONTROL VALVE ASSEMBLY, BUT NOT THE TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY. I WAS NOT NOTIFIED ABOUT THIS RECALL. I WOULD LIKE TO GET MY CAR FIXES. I ALSO FOUND ANY PROBLEM THAT I AM KEEP GETTING FROM MY NISSAN EVERY 3,000 A LIGHT SAY CHECK ENGINE.. I TOOK THE CARS TO HAVE CHECK TWICE AND THERE TELL ME IT WAS A SOFTWARE UPGRADE. *NM

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
MY 2001 NISSAN MAXIMA HEADLIGHTS GLAZE OVER CONSTANTLY WHICH CAUSES LOSS OF VISIBILITY IN BAD WEATHER AND AT NIGHT. MY WIFE HAS A HARD TIME DRIVING THE CAR BECAUSE THERE IS NOT SUFFICIENT ILLUMINATION COMING FROM THE HEADLIGHTS. THE DEALER TOLD ME TO USE WAX ON THE HEADLIGHTS TO REMOVE THE GLAZING. THIS DOES NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD THAT NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED IMMEDIATELY. *NM

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
7/6/06 SMELLED STRANGE ODOR 30 MINUTES LATER MY 2001 NISSAN MAXIMA LOST TOTAL POWER IN THE FAST LANE, ALL GAUGES WENT TO ZERO, HEARD A HISSING SOUND AS I DODGED TRUCKS GOING BY AT 80 MPH AS I COASTED TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER. I OPENED THE HOOD AND THE BATTERY WAS SQUIRTING FLUID OUT OF ALL THE VENT CAPS. I CALLED THE NEAREST DEALER IN WILKES-BARRE, PA AND THEY TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T EVEN LOOK AT THE CAR FOR A WEEK! I MADE THE DECISION TO TOW IT TO BRENNER NISSAN IN MECHANICSBURG,PA(90 MILES, $346 TOW BILL). THEY MADE AN INITIAL INSPECTION 7/7 AND DETERMINED I HAVE AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM! I HAVE GATHERED INFORMATION ON NISSAN MAXIMA PROBLEMS AND WILL MEET WITH THE DEALER 7/10 TO DETERMINE HOW THIS PROBLEM WILL BE DIAGNOSED WITHOUT INCURRING $1000'S IN SERVICE CHARGES. THEY SEEMED UNWILLING TO REPLACE THE BATTERY AND THEN SEE WHAT ELSE WAS BROKE. *JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WE OWNED A 2001 NISSAN MAXIMA FOR 2 1/2 YEARS. WE PUT AN ALTERNATIVE ON IT AND THEN ON DEC 23, 2005 WE SMELLED SMOKE INSIDE OF THE CAR SITTING IN OUR GARAGE. CAR WOULD TURN OVER BUT NOT FIRE. THE MECHANIC SAID THE COMPUTER HAD BURNED UP ON THE CAR & HAD BURNED OUT NUMEROUS RELAYS AND SENSORS. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAD BEEN ON FOR 3 MONTHS. THE DEALER CHECKED IT AND SAID IT WAS AN O2 SENSOR. WE REPLACED THE UPPER INTAKE, LOWER INTAKE, GASKETS, FUEL PUMP, FUEL FILTER, FUEL PRESSER SWITCH, O2 SENSORS, A COMPUTER. (ALL THE ABOVE ARE NISSAN DEALER PARTS!!) THE COMPUTER STILL WOULD NOT MAINTAIN THE CODES FOR IT TO PASS INSPECTION SO WE BOUGHT A NEW COMPUTER FROM NISSAN. THE DEALER FLASHED THE COMPUTER AND BURNED THE NEW COMPUTER UP IN HIS DEALERSHIP & NOW CLAIMS WE OWE HIM FOR THE NEW COMPUTER ALSO. WE HAVEN'T EVEN DRIVEN IT OFF THE LOT & HAVE SPENT $3000 JUST IN PARTS NOT INCLUDING THE PURCHASE OF THE CAR. THE SALISBURY NISSAN DEALER WILL NOT SEND THE COMPUTER BACK TO NISSAN & WILL NOT WARRANTY THE NEW COMPUTER & MY CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP SINCE DEC 23, 2005. TODAY IS 5/31/06. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER NISSAN. *JB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL:CATALYTIC CONVERTOR
SOON AFTER MY WARRANTY EXPIRE ON MY NISSAN MAXIMA SE 2001. MY CATALYTIC CONVERTER FAILED. I CALL THE COMPANY TO COMPLAIN ABOUT IT AS I UNDERSTAND THE CONVERTER IS NOT A PART THAT IS LIKELY TO FAIL. I HAVE ALWAYS PURCHASED A 91 OCTANE GASOLINE OR HIGHER AND KEPT A ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. I ALSO HAVE TO REPLACE MY EXHAUST SYSTEM BECAUSE OF CORROSION JUST RECENTLY AND AS IF THIS WAS NOT ENOUGH, DRIVING HOME FROM WORK THE OTHER DAY, MY CAR STARTED SHAKING AND VIBRATING. I AM NOT QUITE SURE WHAT HAS CAUSED THE VIBRATION BUT WOULD LIKE TO BRING IT TO YOUR ATTENTION. *NM

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
I HAVE EXPERIENCED REPEATED PROBLEMS ON AT LEAST 6 OCCASIONS SINCE I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR WITH THE ROTORS. EVERYTIME I HAVE THIS FIXED THE DEALER DETERMINED THAT THIS WAS CAUSED BY MY DRIVING HABITS WHICH I DID NOT AGREE WITH SEEING AS HOW I HAVE OWNED 3 CARS PRIOR AND HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER REPLACED, 3 OXYGEN SENSORS REPLACED, AND 2 WHEEL SENSORS. THESE OCCURRENCES HAVE SPANNED OVER 18 MONTHS AND HAVE COST LOTS OF MONEY! THE CALIPERS HAVE LOCKED, AND THE CAR CAUGHT ON FIRE IN THE WHEEL WELL, ALSO. I HAVE TRIED TO GET ASSISTANCE FROM THE DEALER I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM, NO ASSISTANCE FROM THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALER IN RALEIGH, AND LAST, BUT NOT LEAST - NISSAN THEMSELVES - THEY EVEN LIED TO ME ON THE PHONE AND TOLD ME THAT IT WAS SENT BACK TO THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALER, WHO HAD THE RIGHT TO COVER THE COSTS, BUT WAS DENYING THE CHARGE. THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALER DISPUTED THIS AND IT LEFT ME WITH NOTHING BUT FRUSTRATION AND WITH A LEMON OF A CAR! I PURCHASED THIS CAR WITH LESS THAN 40000 MILES AND CHECKED THE VIN THROUGH CARFAX. I ALSO CHECKED WHAT CONSUMER REPORTS SAID ABOUT THE MAKE AND MODEL. FROM WHAT I HAVE EXPERIENCED ,AND THE COMPLAINTS I HAVE SEEN ON THIS SITE, I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER NISSAN AGAIN, AND FEEL THAT THE ROTORS AND SENSORS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED BY NISSAN.*AK

SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM
MY CONTROL ARM ON MY '01 MAXIMA BROKE. ALTHOUGH THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS YEAR, MY VIN # ISN'T INCLUDED SO NISSAN WON'T FIX. SEEMS LIKE THIS IS A COMON PROBLEM FOR THIS CAR. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW NISSAN CAN KNOW EXACTLY WHICH VEHICLES THIS RECALL AFFECTS IF MISTAKES WERE MADE. THANKFULLY I WASN'T ON A FREEWAY AT THE TIME. IF YOU HAVE HAD SAME PROBLEM, MY CONTACT IS [email protected]. *NM

POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION, EQUIPMENT:RECREATIONAL VEHICLE/TRAILER:LPG SYSTEMS:TANK VALVE/GAUGE
I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 70 MPH I WENT TO DOWN SHIFT TO 3RD BUT GOT 1ST. I KNOW THIS IS NOT SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN SO I THOUGHT I WAS IN 3RD GEAR. I LET OFF THE CLUTCH AND THE CAR WENT FROM 70 MPH TO ABOUT 35 MPH IN 3 SEC. I WOULD HAVE WENT THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD IF NOT FOR THE SEAT BELT WHICH WORK FINE. WELL THIS ORDEAL LEFT MY CAR WITH 1 OR 2 BLOWN CYLINDER HEADS, BENT,VALVES WATER OUT TAIL PIPE AND ITS NOT DUE TO THE FACT I DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO DRIVE A STICK I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THEM SINCE I GOT OUT OF SCHOOL IN 96..CAN YOU TELL ME WHY THIS HAPPENED ?

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
MY NISSAN MAXIMA (2001) BEGAN TO HARD SHIFT BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND GEAR AT APPROX. 55,000 MILES. WHEN I REPORTED IT TO THE DEALER (TIM DAHLE NISSAN IN SANDY, UT) AT THE 60,000 MAINTENANCE SERVICE, I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THE SHIFTING PROBLEM GOT STEADILY WORSE. THE CAR BEGAN DOING IT RANDOMLY AT ANY GEAR. AT 74,000 MILES I FINALLY HAD TIME TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER AGAIN. THIS TIME THE DEALER ACKNOWLEDGED THE PROBLEM (AFTER I MADE THEM TEST DRIVE THE CAR AGAIN) AND REPLACED THE CONTROL VALVE ASSEMBLY IN THE TRANSMISSION. I PICKED UP THE CAR AND DROVE OFF THE DEALER'S LOT AND THE CAR IMMEDIATELY HARD SHIFTED FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR. THREE WEEKS LATER I TOOK THE CAR BACK IN. THE DEALER ASSURED ME THAT THIS WAS THE WAY THE TRANSMISSION WAS SUPPOSED TO WORK. APPARENTLY, NISSAN RELEASED A BULLETIN TO ITS DEALERS, EXPLAINING THAT THERE WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM IN THE MAXIMA 2000 TO 2003 (AND OTHER MODELS AS WELL). THE BULLETIN INSTRUCTS THE DEALER TO REPLACE THE CONTROL VALVE ASSEMBLY, BUT NOT THE TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY. I AM LEFT WITH A CAR THAT SHIFTS HARD BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND, RESULTING IN A "CLUNK" SOUND. I BOUGHT NISSAN FOR PERFORMANCE BUT TO AVOID THIS HARD SHIFT I HAVE TO DRIVE SLOWLY, BABYING THE TRANSMISSION TO SHIFT QUIETLY BETWEEN 1ST AND

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL
I HAVE AN '01 MAXIMA SE. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, BROUGHT IT TO A DEALER WHO SAID IT WAS AN EMISSION PROBLEM & IT WOULD COST $900 TO FIX !!!! AND I NEED IT DONE BEFORE I CAN GET MY CAR INSPECTED, WHICH IS THIS MONTH. I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT ISSUES WITH THIS CAR. WHEN I BOUGHT IT IT KEPT STEERING TO THE RIGHT, THEY USED MY "ONE FREE" NISSAN ALIGNMENT AND IT WAS STILL NOT RIGHT! IT WAS MY TIRES BECAUSE I HAD TO GET NEW TIRES @ 30K MILES (I HAD BRIDGESTONE POTENZAS, THEY DON'T LAST VERY LONG I FOUND OUT) SO I ENDED UP BUYING COOPER TIRES FOR $200/TIRE. THE PULLING TO THE RIGHT WAS CURED AFTER THAT. I HAVE ALSO HAD A COMPUTER PROBLEM, AN ABS LIGHT PROBLEM, AND HAVE ALREADY HAD MY ROTORS & BRAKES REPLACED AT 30K. I ONLY HAVE 40K ON IT NOW. SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T WANT TO START EITHER. (IT WILL PUTTER AND DIE) ALL IN ALL I WILL NEVER BUY A NISSAN AGAIN. I HOPE SOMEONE WILL READ THIS & TAKE IT FROM ME, DO NOT GET A MAXIMA, ESPECIALLY AN '01.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:FRONT UNDERHOOD
I HAVE A COMPLAINT ABOUT A 2001 NISSAN MAXIMA THAT HAD AN ELECTRICAL SHORT IN ITS WIRING HARNESS THAT COMPLETELY DESTROYED THE ECM (ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE) AND THROTTLE BODY INJECTION SYSTEM CAUSING THE CAR TO STALL UNDER 1700 RPMS THIS CAUSED THE CAR TO STALL AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHEN RPMS DROPPED BELOW THE STATED THRESHOLD I HAVE LOOKED AT THE NHTSAS SERVICE BULLETINS AND COMPLAINT BULLETINS AND THESE WIRING HARNESS SHORTS SEEM TO BE A CONSISTENT PROBLEM WITH NISSANS VEHICLES ESPECIALLY THE MAXIMA MODEL AND ALSO FIRE RELATED SHORTS. I SPOKE WITH NISSANS COMPLAINT DIVISION AND THEY JUST SAID DUE TO MILES ITS OUT OF WARRANTY AND NOT THEIR PROBLEM. AFTER LOOKING AT VARIOUS WEB SITES DEDICATED TO NISSAN PROBLEMS THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM EVEN THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THAT NORMALLY THE ALTERNATOR BURNS OUT BEFORE THE ECM WITH THESE WIRING SHORTS BUT SAID I WAS ONE OF THE UNLUCKY ONES, THE LAST I HEARD WIRING HARNESSES ARE SUPPOSE TO BE STRAPPED DOWN AND NOT MOVING AND PROPERLY WRAPPED AND INSULATED SO VIBRATION DOES NO WEAR THROUGH BUT APPARENTLY NISSAN DOES NOT THINK SO. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A DESIGN DEFECT AND SAFETY DEFECT THAT NHTSA SHOULD LOOK AT.. ALSO I AM STUCK WITH A NINETEEN HUNDRED DOLLAR BILL FROM THE DEALER TO FIX THE PROBLEM NEEDLESS TO SAY I AM NOT HAPPY. YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER ARM
I HAVE A 2001 NISSAN MAXIMA SE 20TH ANNIV. [XXX] AND RECENTLY (ABOUT 2-3 MONTHS AGO) I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY FRONT SUSPENSION - WHENEVER I GO OVER BUMPS OR ANY SORT OF ROAD CRACKS, I HEAR THE BANGING (KNOCKING) SOUND IN MY FRONT SUSPENSION ON BOTH SIDES AND THE STEERING (HANDLING) HAS BECOME REALLY SLOPPY. THIS WEEK I WAS ABOUT TO TAKE THE CAR TO THE MECHANIC BUT I ACCIDENTALLY CAME ACROSS SOME INFORMATION ON THE INTERNET REGARDING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH OVER 90,000 2001-2002 MAXIMAS THAT HAVE BEEN RECALLED BY NISSAN FOR FREE FIXING. TO BE EXACT THE SAFETY NHTSA RECALL NUMBER IS 02V146 AND THE DESCRIPTION IS "THE PIN AT THE END OF THE FRONT SUSPENSION TRANSVERSE LINK (LOWER CONTROL ARM) COULD BREAK WHERE IT IS MOUNTED TO THE FRAME, CAUSING A KNOCKING SOUND AND ABNORMAL STEERING, RESULTING IN DIFFICULTY CONTROLLING THE VEHICLE AND INCREASING THE RISK OF CRASH. DEALERS SHOULD REPLACE THE TRANSVERSE LINKS ON THE LEFT AND RIGHT SIDES WITH NEW ONES. OWNERS WHO DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT NISSAN." ANYWAYS, THIS MORNING I CALLED NISSAN CANADA AND WAS TOLD THAT MY CAR WAS NOT RECALLED, BECAUSE APPARENTLY WHEN THEY BEGAN RECALLING ON JUNE 24, 2002, THEY DETERMINED THE MANUFACTURING DATE RANGE FROM JUNE 2001 TO JANUARY 2002. MY CAR WAS MANUFACTURED IN OCTOBER 2000; HOWEVER IF IT HAS BEEN A SAFETY ISSUE FOR OVER 90,000 SAME VEHICLES - HOW ACCURATE THEIR DECISION IS??? ALL I WANT IS TO FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY CAR BUT IN MY CASE NISSAN DO NOT WISH TO COOPERATE. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THERE IS A WAY TO HELP ME AND TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. THE BEST WAY TO CONTACT ME IS E-MAIL: [XXX] OR CELL [XXX] OR [XXX]. PLEASE LET ME KNOW, HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO PROCESS AND RESOLVE THE ISSUE BECAUSE I DO NOT WANT TO DRIVE THE CAR KNOWING WHAT THE PROBLEM IS AND ESPECIALLY KNOWING THAT IT IS A RECALL. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR ATTENTION! *JS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
