2009 Nissan Maxima

GOT OFF OF WORK AND I TRIED TO CRANK MY CAR AND IT WOULDN'T START. THE KEY SYMBOL WAS ON BUT THAT'S IT.SO I GOT IT TOWED TO LOCAL MECHANIC THROUGH MY INSURANCE AND I PAYED 35. THEY COULDN'T FIND THE PROBLEM SO I HAD TO GET IT TOWED THE CAR LOT WHERE I BOUGJT IT FROM AND IT COST ME $125. I'VE SINCE DID RESEARCH AND IT SEEMS THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE HAS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND PAYING OVER $1, 000 OUT OF POCKET.NOW IAM WAITING FOR MY LEINHOLDER TO TELL ME I OWE THEM $1, 000. I REALLY LIKE MY 2009 NISSAN MAXIMA BUT I WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER ONE

I WAS STRANDED AT WORK DUE TO MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKING DEVICE WOULD NOT UNLOCK. NOTHING WE TRIED WORKED. HAD MY CAR TOWED TO DEALERSHIP TO FIND OUT THAT THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE WITH OTHER OWNERS. NO RECALL ON THIS SAFETY ISSUE AT THIS TIME. NISSAN GAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY INSTEAD BUT DID NOT MAKE ALL OWNERS AWARE. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF THIS ISSUE. DEALERSHIP REPAIRED THE DEVICE AND I HAVE A BILL FOR $906.00 THAT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE IT EXPIRED JUNE 2015.

TAKATA RECALL THIS WHOLE STEERING LOCK SITUATION IS AN ABSOLUTE OUTRAGE. APPARENTLY NISSAN DOES NOT FEEL THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING OR REPLACING THIS DEFECT. I KNOW THEY'VE LOST MY BUSINESS. I FEEL AS WELL AS MANY OTHERS THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON WHO HAS COMPLAINED OR HAD THIS PROBLEM. IT IS HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO FIX AND AFTER READING THERE ARE TONS OF CASES IDENTICAL TO MINE. I HAD TO LEAVE MY CAR UNATTENDED AT OUR LOCAL JCPENNEY'S FOR TWO DAYS AND TWO NIGHTS BECAUSE THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY LOCKED UP.

I WAS DRIVING ALONG A HIGHWAY AT 50 MPH. WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL SUDDENLY FELL TO MY KNEES. THIS CAR HAS A RETRACTABLE STEERING SYSTEM. I WAS ABLE TO STEER THE CAR SAFELY TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I DID NOT DRIVE THE CAR. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS THEN ABLE TO BE PUSHED BACK INTO THE DRIVING POSITION. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TODAY, AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE TWO ELECTRIC MOTORS IN THE STEERING COLUMN WERE DEFECTIVE (HAD TO BE REPLACE) THE COST WOULKD BE $2,000. THE CAR HAS JUST 60,000 MILES.

I HAVE NOT HAD THE CAR LONG ENOUGH TO PAY THE TAXES AND THE STEERING LOCKS. WARRANTY WILL NOT COVER THIS IS A MESS OVER $1100 TO REPAIR. I WAS GOING TO GET MY AUNT PICTURE COPIED FOR HER WEDDING SHE IS DECEASED. I DIDN'T GET THE PICTURE AND I MISSED THE WEDDING WAITING ON THE TOW TRUCK. REALLY 😡 UPSET WITH NISSAN I DON'T THINK I WILL BE BUYING ANOTHER ONE EVER. MANY PEOPLE HAS HAD THIS ISSUE YET NISSAN WILL NOT FIX THIS ISSUE. VERY DISSATISFIED CUSTOMER

I GOT IN MY CAR TRIED TURNING IT ON AND IT WOULD NOT TURN OVER AT ALL. I KNEW IT WASN'T THE BATTERY BECAUSE ALL LIGHTS WERE ON AND FOB STILL WORKED. WHEN I PUT THE ACTUAL KEY IN SLOT IT GAVE THE MISSING KEY LIGHT. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO NISSAN WHERE THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD BE 1100 TO FIX THE STEERING WHEEL LOCK. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE I SAW A LOT OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS, AND THAT NISSAN HAD ISSUED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. AFTER CALLING NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS THEY INFORMED ME THAT MY WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED 4 MONTHS AGO BUT THAT THEY WOULD ESCALATE TO SEE IF THEY WOULD COVER A PORTION. AFTER BEING STRUNG FOR THREE DAYS, THEY DECIDED THAT THEY WOULD NOT COVER ANY OF THE COST. THEY ALSO INFORMED ME PRIOR THAT NORMAL PROTOCOL WAS FOR CONSUMER AFFAIRS TO CALL THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CAR WAS WHICH THEY NEVER DID FOR, I JUST GOT AN AUTOMATIC NO!
