ENGINE, AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:DRIVER SIDE:INFLATOR MODULE
DRIVING AT HIGHWAYS OF GREATER THAN 40 MPH AND BEGINNING TO BRAKE, THE VEHICLE WILL CUT OFF. IT WILL RESTART; HOWEVER, THIS HAS STARTED TO BE A FREQUENT AND DANGEROUS OCCURRENCE. AFTER SEVERAL TIMES, I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THERE WAS A VOLUNTARY RECALL CAMPAIGN BULLETIN R3022 AND NHTSA #03V-455 (ENGINE SENSORS), BEING REPORTED ON NOV. 17, 2003. NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, INC. SAYS THAT THE RECALL CAMPAIGN HAS BEEN CLOSED OUT. NHTSA SAYS THE RECALL CAMPAIGN IS OPEN FOR 10 YRS FROM THE DATE THE RECALL WAS REPORTED, BEING NOV. 17, 2013. TODAY'S DATE IS AUG. 23, 2013. NISSAN WILL NOT HONOR THE RECALL. THE COST TO REPAIR IS $625.19. ADDITIONALLY, THERE WAS A VOLUNTARY RECALL CAMPAIGN BULLETIN R2006 (TRANSVERSE LINK REPLACEMENT) WHICH NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, INC. CLAIMS THEY CANNOT SEE. LASTLY, THERE IS ANOTHER RECALL R1302 (FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG INFLATOR) OF AUGUST 14, 2013, THAT NISSAN CLAIMS THEY AREN'T SHOWING AS WELL. I AM UTTERLY FRUSTRATED AND FED UP WITH NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, INC. THE DEALERS WILL NOT HONOR ANY RECALL THAT NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, INC. DOES NOT RECOGNIZE EVEN IF YOU HAVE THE DOCUMENTATION OF THE RECALL. *TR

ENGINE, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
WHILE DRIVING ON THEY HIGHWAY MY VEHICLE "JERKED" WHILE I WAS GOING ROUGHLY 70MPH. WHEN THAT HAPPENED IT KIND OF HESITATED AND THEN MY "SLIP" AND TCS LIGHT CAME ON. LATER ON THAT DAY MY VEHICLE COMPLETELY STALLED WHILE STOPPED AT A INTERSECTION. IT STARTED BACK UP BUT STARTED VERY HARD. I ARRIVED AT MY DESTINATION AND TURNED IT OFF FOR ROUGHLY 10 MINUTES. I TRIED TO START IT AND IT WOULD NOT START. MY VEHICLE SAT FOR ABOUT 2 HOURS AND WHEN I TRIED IT AGAIN, IT STARTED RIGHT UP. I RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM AND FOUND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR NISSANS FOR THE CRANK POSITION SENSOR. ALL OF THESE ISSUES I HAD SEEMED TO MATCH UP WITH THIS RECALL. PER NISSAN MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT ONE OF THE AFFECTED VEHICLES. I FIND THAT HARD TO BELIEVE. I HAD TO GET MY VEHICLE FIXED SO I DID THAT TODAY. THE PROBLEM WITH MY CAR WAS THE CAM POSITION SENSOR AND THE CRANK POSITION SENSOR. THE AUTO SERVICE PLACE CALLED NISSAN AND NISSAN STATED TO THEM "THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE" I AM NOT VERY HAPPY WITH NISSAN RIGHT NOW. I FEEL THAT MY ISSUES SHOULD BE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION FOR THE RECALL. EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED RELATES BACK TO THE RECALL. RECALL I AM REFERRING TO IS CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 03V455000. PLEASE REVIEW MY NOTES AND MAYBE I CAN GET SOME HELP! *TR

SEATS, SEAT BELTS
TL* THE CONTACT REPORTED A 2002 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE DRIVER WAS TRAVELING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED AND BECAME DISTRACTED, VEERING OFF THE ROADWAY. THE DRIVER MANEUVERED THE STEERING WHEEL IN VARIOUS DIRECTIONS IN AN EFFORT TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE ROLLED OVER APPROXIMATELY EIGHT TIMES. THE DRIVER WAS NOT INJURED HOWEVER, A PASSENGER WAS KILLED. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY STATE POLICE WHO ADVISED THAT AT THE TIME OF THE CRASH, THE PASSENGER'S SEAT WAS RECLINED, CAUSING THE SEAT BELT TO FAIL TO RESTRAIN THE PASSENGER EFFECTIVELY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER SEVEN YEARS OF RESEARCH SHE DISCOVERED THAT MOST PASSENGER SEATS WERE UNSAFE WHEN THEY WERE RECLINED. THE CONTACT WANTED A WARNING TO BE PLACED ON THE VISOR OF THE VEHICLE ALERTING PASSENGERS TO THE DANGER, AS WELL AS POSSIBLY A MECHANISM THAT WOULD NOT ALLOW THE SEAT TO BE ADJUSTED ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. UPDATED 2/1/2013*JS

STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS:UNDERBODY SHIELDS, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, POWER TRAIN
THE RADIATOR CORE SUPPORT IS RUSTING AND HAS LEAD TO A LARGE HOLE ON THE BOTTOM. THE ENGINE BRACE IS MOUNTED WHERE THE RUST IS FORMING. IF THE RUST FORMS BAD ENOUGH AROUND THE BOLTS THE ENGINE COULD FALL DOWN. ALSO THE HOOD LATCH IS CONNECTED THE BOTTOM OF THE CORE SUPPORT. IF THIS FAILS THE RUST CAN CAUSE THE HOOD TO OPEN WHILE DRIVING. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY DOING 75 MPH IN SAN FRANCISCO, I STEPPED ON THE GAS PRETTY HARD AND LET OFF A SECOND OR TWO LATER. RIGHT AFTER THAT THE CAR WENT INTO LIMP MODE AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AT ALL. I HAD TO GO ACROSS 3 LANES WITH NO ACCELERATION. VERY SCARY. PULLED OVER AND TRIED TO REV THE ENGINE TO NO AVAIL. I THEN TURNED THE CAR OFF AND THEN STARTED IT AGAIN AND IT SEEMED TO ACT NORMAL. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHED FOR A AWHILE THEN WENT TO SOLID. ABOUT TWO HOURS LATER I WENT TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE AND IT DID IT AGAIN. I PULLED OVER AND TURNED IT THE VEHICLE OFF AGAIN. THIS SEEMS TO BE A PATTERN WITH THIS CAR WHEN I PUSH ON THE PEDDLE TO ACCELERATE. SINCE JANUARY OF 2012 IT HAS HAPPENED A TOTAL OF 7 TIMES. I BROUGHT IT TO A SHOP WHERE I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A VOLUNTARY RECALL CAMPAIGN FOR THIS PROBLEM ON 2002 NISSAN MAXIMAS. I WENT TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT MY CAR WAS NOT IN THIS RECALL. MY CONCERN IS WHY IS IT NOT IN THIS RECALL WHEN IT IS CLEARLY DISPLAYING WHAT THE "OTHER" 2002 NISSAN MAXIMAS ARE DOING?? THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE FOR FREEWAYS AND OTHER FAST MOVING AREAS. COULD SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME AND LET ME KNOW WHAT CHANNELS I NEED TO GO THROUGH TO GET THIS LOOKED AT? I HAVE CALLED THE NORTHERN REGION NISSAN DEALER AND THEY WERE VERY RUDE AND TOLD ME THAT IT WAS CONFIDENTIAL AND WOULDN'T TELL ME ANYTHING. THIS IS MY CAR THAT DRIVES MY FAMILY AROUND, I HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON. HAS ANY OTHER COMPLAINTS COME IN ABOUT THIS HAPPENING TO THEIR 2002 MODEL THAT WAS NOT IN THIS RECALL? I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN JANUARY OF 2003 WITH 22,000 MILES ON HER AND SHE NOW HAS 134,000. PLEASE HELP ME. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
PROBLEM RELATED TO CAM POSITION SENSORS (CAM SHAFT SENSOR AND POSSIBLY VIAS SENSORS). THIS INTERMITTENT FAILURE, CAUSES THE CAR TO BUCK. OFTEN THIS WILL CAUSE THE CAR TO STALL. THIS ISSUE IS PROMINENT WITH A LARGE PERCENTAGE OF NISSAN MAXIMA 2002 OWNERS AS WELL AS A NUMBER OF ADDITIONAL NISSAN YEARS AND MODELS (MURANO, ALTIMA). THE FREQUENCY OF THE ISSUE OCCURRING FOR NISSAN OWNERS AS WELL AS THE SEVERITY - STALLS HAVE OCCURRED FOR ME US AT ANY TIME INCLUDING MIDDLE OF INTERSECTION AND ALSO ON THE HIGHWAY RESULTING IN SOME VERY CLOSE CALLS AND POTENTIAL UPCOMING ACCIDENTS. NISSAN'S NEGLIGENCE IN RECALLING AND FIXING THIS PROBLEM, IS LIKELY TO LEAD TO ACCIDENTS AND LOSS OF LIFE. THE NISSAN DEALER HAS NOT RESPONDED TO MY DIRECT REQUESTS TO PLEASE FIX THE ISSUE AS THEY WILL ONLY DO THIS IF NISSAN ISSUES A RECALL. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS, THIS IS AN EXTREMELY FREQUENT AND EXPENSIVE REPAIR FOR NISSAN OWNERS. PEOPLE'S LIVES ARE AT RISK IF THIS IS NOT ADDRESSED AND THIS IS THE AVENUE THAT THE NORTHEAST NISSAN REP SAID I NEED TO TAKE TO START THE RECALL PROCESS. *TR

THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND THE CONTACT WAS REIMBURSED FOR THE COST OF THE PARTS, BUT NOT THE LABOR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 92,000. UPDATED 10/04/11 *BF UPDATED 01/03/12

SEATS
THE DRIVER'S SEAT IN MY 2002 NISSAN MAXIMA GLE DOES NOT MOVE FORWARD MAKING IT DIFFICULT REACHING THE PETAL. ALSO, THE SEAT CAN DROP TO THE GROUND MAKING VISIBILITY POOR WHERE YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SEE WHAT IS IN FRONT OF YOU. THIS PROBLEM JUST OCCURRED ABOUT 7 MONTHS AGO OUT OF THE BLUE. I AM THE ONLY PERSON WHO DRIVES THIS CARE AND RELY ON THE CAR FOR TRANSPORTATION TO WORK DAILY. IT IS APPARENT THAT THIS MATTER IS A THREAT TO THE SAFETY OF THE DRIVER OF THE CAR AND NISSAN SHOULD RECALL AND FIX THE PROBLEM. TOYOTA STEPPED UP TO THE PLATE AT LEAST THEY CARE ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMER'S SAFETY. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM AND I HOPE NISSAN LOOKS INTO THIS IMMEDIATELY. THANKING YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND HOPE THIS WILL HELP EVERYONE THAT OWNS A MAXIMA BY NISSAN ISSUING A RECALL ON THEIR FRONT SEAT SAFETY MECHANISMS THAT ARE DEFECTIVE. I'VE NEVER OWNED A CAR WHERE THIS WAS AN ISSUE BEFORE AND WOULD NOT WANT SOMEONE TO GET INJURED B/C THIS PROBLEM COULD HAVE BEEN CORRECTED BY NISSAN. *TR

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, WHEELS, STEERING
AFTER THE CAR HAS BEEN DRIVEN AWHILE AND WARMED UP, 30 MINS OR SO. THE STEERING WHEEL STARTS TO JERK AND THE CAR PULLS TO THE LEFT. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE CAR DRIVES LIKE IT'S ON A FLAT TIRE, A KLUCK KLUCK KLUCK SOUND IS COMING FROM THE FRONT END, BUT THE TIRES ARE NOT FLAT. I EVEN REPLACED THE OLD TIRES WITH NEW ONES. THE STEERING BECOMES VERY ERRATIC. IVE TAKEN IT TWICE TO A NISSAN DEALER AND A SEARS AUTO CENTER, AND WAS TOLD EVERYTHING WAS TIGHT IN THE FRONT END. NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS, BECAUSE THEY CAN'T GET THE CAR TO RECREATE THIS CONDITION. WHAT WOULD BE THE LIKELY CAUSE THAT WOULD MAKE THIS HAPPEN?

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
PURCHASED 2002 NISSAN MAXIMA WITH UNDER 30K MILES 11/09. AT 35K MILES HAD TRANSMISSION SERVICED. NOW THE TRANSMISSION IS COMPLETELY SHOT AT 38K MILES. NISSAN IS REFUSING TO ADMIT A DEFECT OR A FAULT WHEN THERE ARE OVER 100K COMPLAINTS ONLINE TO VARIOUS WEBSITES AND THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE IS PATHETIC AND OFFENSIVE. THE VEHICLE HAS LOST 3RD AND 4TH GEAR AND IS LOSING 2ND SLOWLY BUT SURELEY. THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED YET NISSAN IS DENYING THE CLAIM BECAUSE OF THE YEAR IT IS. A QUICK SEARCH OF GOOGLE TELLS ME THAT 2002-2006 NISSAN MAXIMAS HAVE HORRIBLE TRANSMISSION ISSUES. THIS SHOULD BE ESCALATED TO A RECALL DUE TO THE DANGERS OF HAVING THE TRANSMISSION DROP OUT OR HAVING IT CATCH FIRE WHICH WILL HAPPEN IF I CONTINUE TO DRIVE MY CAR THE WAY IT IS. I CANNOT AFFORD A $2500 TRANSMISSION WITH THE ECONOMY THE WAY IT IS. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO MAKE THIS RIGHT. *TR
