2006 Nissan Maxima

THE FLOOR BOARDS IN THIS 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA ARE BADLY ROTTED THROUGH. IT PROBABLY HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR QUITE SOME TIME. I SPOKE WITH THE NISSAN DEALER TODAY. THEY WANT $1200 TO PATCH THE FLOOR BOARDS. IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY DEFECT IN MANUFACTURING AND DESIGN. I BELIEVE THIS AND ALL CARS OF THIS MODEL AND YEAR SHOULD BE RECALLED AND FIXED BY NISSAN. THERE ARE NUMEROUS POSTINGS ON THE INTERNET FOR THE SAME PROBLEM ON THIS AND OTHER NISSAN MODEL CARS OF THE SAME VINTAGE. NISSAN REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS DEFECT AND TAKE ANY ACTION. I NEED YOUR INTERVENTION. *JS

MY 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA HAS BEEN FEELING WEIRD FOR SOME WEEKS NOW. EVERY TIME IT WAS TAKEN TO THE MECHANIC SHOP THEY WERE NEVER EVER ABLE TO PINPOINT THE ISSUE. AFTER HAVING SPENT HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS ON A NEW VALVE BODY, TRANSMISSION FLUSH, ETC. THE ISSUE NOW SEEMS TO BE THE TRANSMISSION! MY TRANSMISSION IS COMPLETELY OUT! I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT I HAVE SPENT $21,000+ ON THIS CAR TO GET NOTHING BUT DEPT OUT OF IT! AFTER ALMOST GETTING INTO MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS FROM THE SUDDEN JERKING OF THE TRANSMISSION, I CAN SAY I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER NISSAN VEHICLE AGAIN!!!!! I WISH I WOULD HAVE DONE RESEARCH ON THIS VEHICLE SOONER SO THAT I COULD HAVE TRADED IT IN BEFORE IT WAS TOO LATE. MY MOTHER WHO ALSO PURCHASED A NISSAN (QUEST) IS BEGINNING TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS. WE ARE VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THE COMPANY. THE LEAST NISSAN COULD DO IT REPAIR THE DAMAGE FOR ALL THE CUSTOMERS THAT ARE GOING THROUGH THE SAME ISSUE! *TR

WHILE MY MECHANIC WAS DOING MAINTENANCE WORK ON MY 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA, HE FOUND THE FRONT FLOORBOARDS ARE COMPLETELY RUSTED AND CORRODED. HE WAS SURPRISED THAT MY FEET HAD NOT GONE THRU THE FLOOR. I WAS TOLD THIS HAS BEEN SEEN BEFORE AND WHEN I CALL NISSAN THAT TOLD ME IT WAS NOT COVERED. MY AUTO HAS JUST RESEARCHED 73,000 MI. *TR

ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION SURGING AND THEN A HARD JERK OR GEAR SHIFT.TOOK IT TO THE SHOP, AND BEFORE CHECKING, THE SHOP OWNER WAS FAMILIAR WITH THE ISSUE BECAUSE MINE WAS THE 4TH '06 MAXIMA THAT HAD BEEN BROUGHT IN THAT WEEK WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS. I HAVE A BLACK CAR THATS 6 YEARS OLD AND THE PAINT HAS FADED ALMOST TO WHITE ON THE ROOF OF MY CAR. *TR
