PURCHASED VEHICLE IN NOVEMBER 2005. TIRES WERE ROTATED FOR THE FIRST TIME IN APRIL 2006 SERVICE. SINCE THAT TIME I HAVE EXPERIENCED EXCESSIVE VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL AT A CONSTANT SPEED OF 55MPH. EXCESSIVE VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL IS EXPERIENCED AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 45MPH TO 60MPH. EXCESSIVE VIBRATION STOPS IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND BEGINS IN THE RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AT SPEEDS THAT EXEED 60MPH. RETURNED VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHERE THE PROBLEM WAS UNRESOLVED. TECHNICIAN ADVISED ME THAT THE PROBLEM MAY BE A DEFECTIVE TIRE. MADE CONTACT WITH NISSAN CORPORATION OF AMERICA (REF# 5602757)WHERE I WAS ADVISED THAT THERE WERE NO REPORTED COMPLAINTS, RECALLS OR DEFECTS RECORDED. I WAS ADVISED TO RETURN TO LOCAL AREA DEALERSHIP AND SPEAK WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER. MAKING CONTACT WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER WAS UNSUCCESSFUL, EVEN AFTER LEAVING MESSAGE. FEBRUARY 2007 CONTACTED GOODYEAR TIRE PER THE ADVICE OF THE DEALERSHIP TECHNICIAN AND REPLACE ALLEGED DEFECTIVE TIRE AT COST TO ME. TO THIS DATE, THE PROBLEM STILL EXIST.

DEFECTIVE 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA. *KB *NM. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ON 06/19/2006 HIS WIFE WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE TO WORK. SHE CAME TO A STOP SIGN AND WHEN SHE WENT TO PULL OUT, THE VEHICLE WOULD BARELY MOVE . IT SEEMED LIKE THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT AND SHE COULD ONLY GO 20 MPH AFTER TAKING OFF. THE SAME PROBLEM RECURRED OFTEN. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A HONDA DEALER, WHO HOOKED IT UP TO COMPUTER TO LOOK AT DIAGNOSTIC CODES. HOWEVER, THE COMPUTER DID NOT SHOW ANYTHING WRONG. THUS, OUT OF THE FIRST 35 DAYS SINCE THE PURCHASE OF THE CAR, IT WAS IN THE REPAIE SHOP 18 DAYS. *AK

WHEN DRIVE WAS ENGAGED AND THE ACCELERATOR WAS DEPRESSED, THE FRONT LEFT BOUNCED OVER THE CURB. AS THIS HAPPENED, A METALLIC BANG WAS HEARD, THEN THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED FORWARD OUT OF CONTROL. THE STEERING WOULD NOT RESPOND AND THE VEHICLE DROVE OVER ANOTHER CURB KNOCKED DOWN A SIGN POST AND THEN ON IMPACT OF A STONE PILLAR, CAUSING ALL AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY.

I BOUGHT A 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA 2/27/06 AND IT HAS A RATTLING NOISE SOMEWHERE UNDERNEATH THE CAR. WHEN I NOTICE THIS NOISE BRING IT TO A NISSAN DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. THEY WORK ON IT SEVERAL TIME AND STILL DIDN'T FIX IT. I WAS UNHAPPY WITH THIS AND LAUNCH A COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIR. A CONSUMER AFFAIR SPECIALIST TOLD ME TO TAKE IT ANOTHER DEALER WHICH I DID. NOW IT'S BEEN A MONTH OR MORE GOING BACK AND FORTH TO GET THIS NOISE PROBLEM CORRECTED. I STILL HAVE THE CAR WHICH STILL HAVE THIS RATTLING NOISE. *NM
