2011 Nissan Maxima

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN MAXIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD MELTED AND CAUSED A GLARE FROM THE SUN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NAPLES NISSAN (3640 PINE RIDGE RD, NAPLES, FL 34109, 239-300-2765) WHERE THE FAILURE WAS CONFIRMED, BUT NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND OFFERED A FIFTY PERCENT DISCOUNT OFF THE REPAIR COST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 70,065.

TAKATA RECALL. AFTER BEING TOLD A PART ON MY TRANSMISSION WAS BROKEN I IMMEDIATELY GOT IT FIXED. WHEN ON THE HIGHWAY THE CAR WOULD REV TO HIGH RPM ON ITS OWN. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT BACK TO THE MECHANIC. THEY TOLD ME I NEEDED A WHOLE NEW TRANSMISSION THAT IS ON BACK ORDER BY NISSAN. IT'S BEEN A MONTH WITHOUT MY CAR AND TRANSMISSION ISN'T RECALLED EVEN AFTER BEING ON BACK ORDER. MY MAXIMA HAS ONLY 90000 MILES AND THIS SHOULDN'T BE AN ISSUE FOR A NEWER 2011 MAXIMA. I JUST WANT TO PREVENT ANYONE ELSE FROM BEING TRICKED INTO PURCHASING A CAR WITH A FAULTY TRANSMISSION WITHOUT KNOWING IT'S ISSUES. NEEDS TO BE RECALLED!

2011 NISSAN MAXIMA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE PASSENGER AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT STAYS ON INDICATING AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE AIRBAG LIGHT WOULD ILLUMINATE WHILE A PASSENGER WAS SEATED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE DEALER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATING AS DESIGNED. THE FAILURE EVENTUALLY BEGAN TO OCCUR WITHOUT ANYONE OR ANYTHING OCCUPYING THE SEAT. THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP WHO ADVISED THE VEHICLE HAD A FAILED CLOCK SPRING. *JS

TAKATA RECALL. AT 80K MILES MY VEHICLE IS IDLING WHILE IN PARK AND ALSO WHILE ACCELERATING ITS DOING A JERK AND FEELS AS IF IT DOESN'T WANT TO GO INTO GEAR TO REACH HIGHER SPEED. I CHECKED THE CODE AND IT READ AS A AIR MASS FLOW SENSOR, CATALYST CONVERTER, AND O2 SENSOR. THE CAR TURNED OFF ON ME WHILE ON, JUMP STARTED IT AND TURNED BACK ON. I CHANGED THE MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR AND ITS STILL DOING THE SAME THING. I TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC AND THE MECHANIC SAID THE CODE SAYS BATTERY AND OTHER THINGS. RECCOMMENDED WE START CHEAP BY CHANGING THE BATTERY AND GOING FROM THERE. I CHANGED THE BATTERY AND THE COMPUTER NOW SAYS O2 SENSOR. I KEEP DUMPING ALOT OF MONEY INTO THIS VEHICLE AND TO ME IT SEEMS THAT THIS ISSUE IS ALSO HAPPENING MANY OTHERS INCLUDING MY CLOSE FRIEND WHO OWNS THE SAME VEHICLE.

TAKATA INFLATORS. I'VE NOTICED THAT THE REAR DRIVER SIDE SUSPENSION DOES NOT SUSPEND CORRECLY. I FEEL THE REAR TIRE SLIPPING UNDER NORMAL WEATHER CONDITIONS. SO MUCH SO THAT ONE CAN FEEL THE TIRE SLIP. PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT MY TIRES ARE STILL NEW. I'M ALSO HEARING A WEIRD SOUND THAT COMES FROM THE SAME AREA. I'M NOT SURE WHAT'S HAPPENING. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION.

WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH ON I10, 20 MILES EAST OF BEAUMONT TEXAS, MY PANORAMIC SUNROOF EXPLODED ON ITS OWN. THERE WAS NO COLLISION WITH ANY ROAD DEBRIS, NOR WERE WE IN THE VICINITY OR IMPACTED FROM ANYTHING FALLING FROM AN OVERPASS. THE TRAFFIC WAS HEAVY AND AS A RESULT OF THE EXPLOSION, I WAS FORCED TO GET TO AN EXIT COVERED IN SHARDS OF GLASS. THIS GLASS EXPLOSION CREATED A VERY UNSAFE CONDITION NOT ONLY FOR MY IMMEDIATE FAMILY, BUT FOR THE OTHER INNOCENT PEOPLE THAT WAS IN THE IMMEDIATE AREA. I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE SIDE SHOULDER TO GAIN MY EXPOSURE THEN DROVE TO AN OFF RAMP. I TOOK PICTURES AND CLEANED THE BROKEN SHARDS FROM MY WIFE, MY TWO CATS AND MYSELF FIRST AND FOREMOST. WE ALL HAD GLASS CUTS, BUT DID NOT NEED ANY SUTURES. I THEN CLEANED UP THE REMAINING BROKEN GLASS FROM THE SEATS, FLOOR ETC... AND PILED THE BROKEN SHARDS INTO A PILE ON THE VEHICLE ROOF. I TOOK A PICTURE OF THIS PILE TO SHOW HOW MUCH GLASS COVERED US IN RELATION TO HOW MUCH GLASS EXPLODED OVER THE INNOCENT VEHICLES BEHIND ME AT THE ACTUAL TIME OF EXPLOSION. I CALLED PROGRESSIVE INSURANCE TO NOT ONLY REPORT THE INCIDENT, BUT TO FILE A CLAIM. THEY GAVE ME CLAIM NUMBER 184507967. WHEREAS I WAS ON A BUSINESS TRIP AND DID NOT LIVE IN THE IMMEDIATE AREA, I DID NOT HAVE THE LUXURY OF PARKING THE VEHICLE IN A GARAGE AND GETTING A RENTAL UNTIL RESOLUTION OF THE CLAIM. I DROVE WITH NO PROTECTION FROM THE 35 DEGREE WEATHER AND DRIZZLE TO THE CLOSEST HOME DEPOT AND PURCHASED MATERIALS TO FABRICATE MY OWN INSULATED ROOF IN THE PARKING LOT. AT THE TIME, I HAD NO CLUE WHAT HAD POTENTIALLY HAIR MY CAR, BUT DEEP INSIDE, KNEW NOTHING HAD. WHEN I PULLED OVER IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE INCIDENT, I THOUGHT IT WAS ODD THAT THE GLASS WAS SHAPED WITH AN OUTWARD MUSHROOM SHAPE AS IF EXPLOSION CAME FROM INSIDE OUT. AFTER CONTINUED RESEARCH, IT IS UNACCEPTABLE THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH NO MANUFACTURER RESPONSIBILITY.

LETTER FROM SENATOR BOOZMAN ON BEHALF OF CONSTITUENT RE 2011 NISSAN MAXIMA CONSUMER COMPLAINT AGAINST NISSAN CORPORATE. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS MAKING A HORRIBLE KNOCKING NOISE. THE CONSUMER WAS ADVISED THE TRANSMISSION WAS GOING OUT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED, BUT DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. THE CONSUMER REQUESTED TO BE REIMBURSED FOR THE REPAIRS AND THE RENTAL. *JS

MY MECHANIC TELLS ME MAXIMA 2011 HAS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO REPROGRAM THE ECM. "SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT SOON KEEPS APPEARING" THIS SHOULD BE A FREE SERVICE BECAUSE MY CAR DOES NOT NEED A NEW MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR. PLEASE FACTORY RECALL THIS ISSUE. MY CAR IS ACTUALLY IN GREAT SHAPE AT 49,000 MILES. HERE ARE THE LIST OF CARS AFFECTED. HTTPS://WWW.AUTOCODES.COM/P0101_NISSAN.HTML I WENT TO BAY RIDGE NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND TELLS ME MY WARRENTY DOES NOT COVER THIS SERVICE AND THERE IS NO FACTORY RECALL OR BULLETIN. HE WANTS ME TO BUY A NEW PART ($260.00 USD) AND REPROGRAM THE ECM ($175.00 USD). THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE.
