I'M HAVING A HIGH PITCH WHINE COMING ESPECIALLY FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE PITCH GETS LOUDER WITH RPM CHANGES. IT'S CONSTANTLY THERE, AS SOON AS THE CAR IS ON, WHETHER THE CAR IS IDLING, ACCELERATING OR DECELERATING. THIS WHINE COMES FROM THE SPEAKERS, BECAUSE WHEN I DISCONNECTED THE OEM BOSE AMPLIFIER, THE NOISE WAS GONE. I BELIEVE THIS IS KNOWN AS THE "ALTERNATOR WHINE" SO I CHANGED A NEW ALTERNATOR TOLD BY THE DEALER, AND CHANGED TO ANOTHER OEM BOSE AMPLIFIER, BUT THE "WHINE" STILL REMAINS. THE HIGH PITCH NOISE IS VERY ANNOYING AND CAUSES MIGRAINES. *TR
I HAVE HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR...THIS BEING THE LATEST.

I HAVE HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR...THIS BEING THE LATEST. SINCE BUYING THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW I HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD REPLACED BECAUSE IT WARPED, THE RADIO REPLACED, THE CHROME RAILS ON TOP OF THE CAR REPLACED AND NOW I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE BECAUSE I WAS HEARING A "CHIRPING" NOISE. I THEN GOT A CALL BACK AND WAS TOLD THAT THE COMPRESSOR HAD GONE BAD. BUT IT GETS BETTER AS RIGHT AFTER THAT I WAS TOLD THAT NISSAN GOT A BAD BATCH OF COMPRESSORS AND THEY CAN'T GET A NEW ONE FOR ME. BUT IT STILL GETS BETTER...I WAS THEN TOLD THAT IF I DON'T REPLACE THE COMPRESSOR (AT A COST OF OVER 1K) THEN IT WILL FAIL AND DAMAGE THE BELTS, WHICH WILL CAUSE THE POWER STEERING TO FAIL AS WELL AS DAMAGING THE CONDENSER. SO I NEED A PART THAT NISSAN SAYS IS DEFECTIVE SO THEY DON'T HAVE ANYMORE OF THEM AND ARE WAITING ON A NEW SUPPLIER, BUT IN ADDITION TO THAT IF I DON'T GET THIS PART IT WILL CAUSE ADDITIONAL DAMAGE TO THE CAR. *TR

TOOK MY CAR IN FOR A OIL CHANGE AND AFTER THE OIL CHANGE AND THE CHANGE OF BELTS MY CAR STARTED MAKING A NOISE WHEN THE HEAT OR AIR WAS TURNED ON. 2 MONTHS LATER WHEN I TURNED ON MY AIR CONDITION NO AIR WAS COMING THROUGH. TOOK IT BACK TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT MY AIR PRESSURE PUMP HAD A LEAK IN IT. I COULD NOT BELIEVE THAT WITH A 2007 CAR THAT I WOULD HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM THIS SOON!!! NOTHING WAS DONE TO REPAIR MY CAR. I OVER HEARD THE TWO SERVICE GUYS SAY THAT "OH YA, THAT'S GOING TO TAKE A PAYCHECK". NOT KNOWING THAT I WAS STILL LISTENING. I FEEL THAT THEY DID NOT CARE ABOUT ME OR WHAT WAS GOING ON WITH MY CAR ALL THEY WANTED WAS FOR ME TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. I TOLD THEM THAT MY HUSBAND WAS DEPLOYED AND HAD TWO SMALL CHILDREN THAT HAD ASTHMA AND THE HEAT WOULD TRIGGER THEIR ASTHMA AND ON THIS DAY IT WAS ALREADY 78 DEGREES. I WOULD NEVER USE THIS DEALERSHIP AGAIN!!!! IF I HAVE TO I WILL TAKE MY CAR TO ANOTHER NISSAN DEALERSHIP OUTSIDE OF SAVANNAH. *TR

ON WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 19, 2007 I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. AS THE SERVICE ADVISOR CHECKED ME IN I MADE HIM AWARE THAT MY SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND MY CAR WAS PERIODICALLY STALLING. INSTEAD OF THOROUGHLY CHECKING MY CAR OUT, BEING THAT I EXPLAINED THAT IT WASN'T RUNNING RIGHT, THE ADVISOR SAID THERE WERE A FEW TRANSMISSION CODES BUT THEY JUST RESET THE COMPUTER. I CONTINUE TO DRIVE MY CAR AND IT STILL PERIODICALLY STALLED BUT ON FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 28, 2007 MY CAR BEGAN STALLING AND JERKING SO I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE TECHNICIAN RAN A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND THE SAME CODES FROM THE PRIOR WEEKS VISIT CAME UP. THEY SAID THEY WOULD NEED TO KEEP MY CAR FOR EXTENSIVE WORK. HOWEVER, THEY COULD NOT START THIS PROCESS UNTIL WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 3, 2007, I EXPLAINED TO THE ADVISOR THAT I DROVE 80 MILES A DAY TO MY JOB AND WOULD NEED A LOANER VEHICLE. HE SAID THEY WOULD NOT PROVIDE ME WITH A LOANER VEHICLE BECAUSE I DID NOT PURCHASE MY CAR DIRECTLY THROUGH THEM. THE ADVISOR THEN SAID THE EARLIEST THEY COULD GET MY CAR IN ON MONDAY OCTOBER 1, 2007. I STRESSED TO THE ADVISOR THAT IT WAS STILL THREE DAYS AWAY AND I HAD TO DRIVE THE CAR 80 MILES A DAY. HE JUST TOLD ME NOT TO DRIVE THE CAR TOO MUCH. THE FOLLOWING MONDAY OCTOBER 1, 2007 AS I LEFT MY HOME I COULD NOT EVEN MAKE IT UP THE STREET IN MY SUBDIVISION, MY CAR CUT OFF, I MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO START IT AGAIN BECAUSE I HAD A SCHOOL BUS BLOCKED. I FINALLY GOT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. NEEDLESS TO SAY MY TRANSMISSION WAS BAD; THEY KEPT MY CAR FOUR DAYS. MY CAR HAS BEEN IN AND OUT OF THE SHOP SINCE THEN AND IT STILL IS NOT RIGHT. ONE VISIT THEY SAID THAT I HAD A PROBLEM WITH MY EXHAUST SYSTEM SO THEY KEPT IT TWO MORE DAYS. THE DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT CALL IN A SPECIAL TECHNICIAN IN TO FOUND OUT WHAT WAS WRONG WITH MY CAR SO I CONTACTED CONSUMER AFFAIRS. AS I STATED I DRIVE 80 MILES EVERYDAY AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY CAR. *TR

MY NEW 2007 NISSAN MAXIMA WAS "BUCKING" AT 40 MPH & 60 MPH. THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON CAME ON. LATER THAT DAY, THE VEHICLE STALLED OUT ON ME 3 TIMES. THE NEXT DAY I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY INDICATED THAT IT WAS THE CAM SHAFT. THE NEXT DAY I WAS ABLE TO PICK UP MY VEHICLE. HOWEVER, I COULDN'T GET IT OUT OF THE DEALERSHIP PARKING LOT AFTER STALLING 3 TIMES EACH TIME I PUT IT INTO DRIVE. THE MECHANIC WAS AUTHORIZED TO TAKE MY VEHICLE OVER NIGHT TO DRIVE IT AFTER BEING ABLE TO TEST DRIVE IT. I WAS INFORMED THE NEXT DAY THAT THE MECHANIC COULDN'T GET IT OUT OF THE DEALERSHIP PARKING LOT EITHER. THEY HAVE BEEN IN TOUCH WITH THE MANUFACTURER, BUT THEY CAN'T SEEM TO LOCATE ANY ERROR. *JB
