2004 Nissan Crew

2004 LE 4X4 OFFROAD-BIG TOW PACKAGE WITH 62,900. MILES. I WAS LEAVING MY APT. MADE A RIGHT TURN, STARTED TO INCREASE SPEED TO 25-35 MPH WHEN A CLUNK NOISE CAME FROM MY REAR END. I STOP TO CHECK IT OUT AND DID NOT NOTICE ANYTHING OUT OF PLACE. STARTED BACK UP AND IT CONTINUED. SO I WENT STRAIGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP. AFTER THEY LOOKED AT IT, THEY SHOW ME METAL PEACES AND HOW THE GEAR WAS SKIPPING. THERE RECOMMENDATION WAS REPLACEMENT OF THE WHOLE REAR END. I'M AN EASY DRIVER, HAVE NOT PULLED ANY LOADS WITH MY TRUCK. 60 MONTHS 60,000 MILES IS THE WARRANTY. I'M JUST OUTSIDE THAT BY CLOSE TO 3,000. I WOULD HOPE THIS HELPS, NISSAN NEEDS TO LOOK INTO THIS MATTER AS I HAVE NET WORK AND FOUND THAT THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH 04-06 TATIN. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA ON DECEMBER 2ND OF 2006,FROM A USED CARS DEALERSHIP ON BELAIR ROAD. THE FOLLOWING SATURDAY I HAD TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE FIXED WITH THE FIRST PROBLEM/ ENDED UP TAKING IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM 4 TIMES.AT THE TIME I PURCHASED THIS CAR, IT HAD A FACTORY WARRANTY OF 30 DAYS OR 1000 MILES.THEIR WAS A PROBLEM EVERY MONTH WITH THIS CAR. I EXPLAINED TO HER ALL I WANTED TO DO WAS TRADE FOR ANOTHER ONE JUST LIKE IT. BY THIS TIME THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED AND I COULDN'T AFFORD THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AMOUNT ALL AT ONE TIME. AS THE WARRANTY BEGIN TO END, THE TRANSMISSION WAS MESSING UP SHIFTING ROUGHLY,JUMPING INTO GEAR EITHER WHEN SLOWING DOWN, PULLING OFF, OR EVEN WHEN PARKING. I TOLD THIS TO THE SERVICE MAN AT THE DEALERSHIP AND BECAUSE OF THE MILES ON THE CAR THEY WOULDN'T TOUCH IT. I TOOK THE CAR TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION FLUSHED AT A SERVICE STATION AND I WAS TOLD A FLUSH WOULDN'T HELP THIS CAR NEEDS A TRANSMISSION. BEFORE I HAD TALKED TO THE GENERAL SALES MANAGER ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND HE STATED THEIR WAS NOTHING THAT COULD BE DONE, BECAUSE THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. I EXPLAINED TO HIM THAT I HAVE FOUND A LOT OF DEFECTS WITH THIS CAR, THAT WASN'T FOUND BEFORE BEING SOLD TO ME. I ASKED SEVERAL TIMES ABOUT THEM ASSISTING ME IN GETTING IT REPAIRED OR TRADING FOR AN OTHER MAX.NOW I HAVE A CAR SITTING AT HOME I CAN'T DRIVE THAT I STILL HAVE TO PAY FOR AND ITS NOT RIGHT. THE GM FROM A KOONS FORD LOCATION DID RESPOND TO MY COMPLAINT, BUT I HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING YET ON WHAT HE'S GOING TO DO.I HAVE CALLED/SENT HIM MESSAGES AND NO RESPONSE YET.I NEED MY CAR FIXED OR ANOTHER ONE. I'M SOLICITING FOR ASSISTANCE THROUGH THIS DIRECTION. IT'S BEEN 3 WEEKS NOE THE CAR HAS BEEN PARKED, I DON'T HAVE $2500.00 TO GET THIS TRANSMISSION FIXED. *TR

TRUCK NOW HAS 50,000 MILES ON IT. FIRST NOTICED THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL LEAKING ABOUT A YEAR AGO. HAD NISSAN DEALER SEAL IT AGAIN ALONG WITH THE 3RD BRAKE KIT REPLACEMENT. NOTICED A HIGH PITCHED WHINE WHEN ACCELERATING AND AT HIGH SPEEDS. TOOK IT BACK TO NISSAN DEALER WHO CHECKED OUT REAR DIFFERENTIAL AND SAID IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. TRUCK CAME WITH BIG TOW"PACKAGE. WE TOWED A 3500 LBS. BOAT LOCALLY DURING THE SUMMER, BUT IT MADE A ONCE-A-YEAR-ROUND-TRIP , TOWING BOAT BETWEEN FREEHOLD AND BASSETT, VA. *AK

I OWN A '04 NISSAN TITAN THAT I PURCHASED NEW IN DEC. '04. A REAR END HUM ALERTED ME (AFTER FURTHER INSPECTION) TO A LEAKY PASSENGER SIDE AXLE SEAL. AFTER FURTHER INSPECTION, THE LEFT AXLE SEAL WAS LEAKING AS WELL. THE TRUCK HAS 93,500 MILES ON IT AND THE PASSENGER SIDE LEAK IS SO BAD, THAT THE ENTIRE REAR WHEEL HUB AND PORTIONS OF THE REAR BRAKE SYSTEM ARE COVERED IN REAR END FLUID. I WAS FORTUNATE TO HAVE LOCATED THE PROBLEM BEFORE MORE EXTENSIVE DAMAGE OR AN ACCIDENT OCCURRED. *TR

VEHICLE SHIFT LOCK HANDLE WHEN PUT IN TO PARK LOCKS AND ITS VERY HARD TO TO SHIFT, IT GETS STUCK, IF FOR ANY REASON YOU STOP THE VEHICLE ON A VERY SMALL INCLINE AND SHIFT INTO PARK, BE PREPARED TO SPEND SOME TIME TRYING TO DISENGAGED THE SHIFT, CREATING THAT CONGESTION OF VEHICLES BEHIND YOUR CAR WAITING FOR YOU. IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING TO ME, I HAVE TAKEN THIS VEHICLE BACK TO DEALER SEVERAL TIMES AND ALL THEY SAID IS "THATS THE WAY THIS MINIVAN IS MADE, ACTUALLY YOU HAVE TO LEARN HOW TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AND COMPLAIN TO NISSAN", I HAVE TRIED SEVERAL OTHER QUESTS AND MOST OF THEM DO THE SAME THING AND SOME DON'T, IS THIS A GROUND FOR A MANUFACTURER RECALL? PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF I AM STUCK WITH SEVERAL YEARS OF PAYMENT FOR THIS VEHICLE AND I HAVE TO LIVE WITH THIS PROBLEM. THANK YOU. *TR

I OWN A 2004 NISSAN TITAN, I HAVE HAD SEVERAL ISSUES INVOLVING THE BRAKES HAVING A SEVERE VIBRATION PROBLEM AND HAVE HAD THEM FIXED AT LEAST 3 DIFFERENT TIME AT THE DEALER, THE DEALER SAYS THE PROBLEM IS FIXED AND SHOULD NOT RETURN BUT IT DOES 6-12 MONTHS LATER. NOW THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL IS GOING OUT AND THE TRUCK IS ONLY 2 1/2 YEARS OLD. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER ONLY TO BE TOLD IT WOULD COST OVER 3000.00 DOLLARS TO REPAIR. THE DEALER REP THAT I SPOKE TO SAID IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM ON THIS MODEL,I TOOK IT TO A REPUTABLE MECHANIC IN MY AREA TO BE TOLD IT COULD BR REPAIRED FOR AROUND 1200.00 DOLLARS. MY MECANIC DID HIS OWN RESEARCH SPEAKING TO SEVERAL AREA NISSAN DEALERS TO BE TOLD IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM AND IT COULD BE REPAIRED BUT IT WOULD MOST LIKELY HAPPEN AGAIN AND THAT THE ENTIRE REAR AXLE SHOULD BE REPLACED.I DO LIKE THE TRUCK AND ALL I WANT IS TO HAVE MY REAR REPLACED AT NO COST TO ME.THE TRUCK HAS NOT BEEN USED FOR ANY TOWING OR HAULING PURPOSES AND HAS ONLY BEEN IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE WHEN IS WAS A SEVERE SNOW. IT HAS BEEN USED FOR LIGHT FOUR WHEEL DRIVE USE. *NM

I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN QUEST WHICH HAS GIVEN ME PROBLEMS SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR. THE NUMEROUS RECALLS AND THE CONSTANT CHANGING OF BRAKES. WE HAVE HAD TO CHANGE THE BRAKES MORE THAN SIX TIMES. THE BACK BRAKES ARE CONSTANTLY GOING OUT. THEY HAVE A BURNING SMELL AND I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WITH NO ASSISTANCE. SINCE I COULD NOT GET AN ANSWER AS TO WHY MY BRAKES WERE GETTING HOT. I THEN TOOK THE CAR TO AAA FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE DIAGNOSTIC INSPECTION. THEY STATED THAT THE MOTOR VEHICLE HAD TWO CRACKED MOTOR MOUNTS, BOTH OF LOWER CONTROL ARMS WERE DEFECTIVE, WHICH WORE OUT TWO SETS OF TIRES,AND I HAD OTHER REPAIRS THAT WERE NECESSARY TO MAKE. AAA ALSO STATED THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING GOING ON WITH THE BRAKE CALIPERS, WHICH COULD BE THE REASON THAT I WAS HAVING TO CHANGE MY BRAKES EVERY SIX MONTHS. I TOLD THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND THEY DID NOT TRY TO REMEDY THE SITUATION. I ALSO CONTACTED NISSAN WHO HAVE NOT RESPONDED TO MY REQUEST FOR THEM TO REPLACE THE TIRES ON MY VEHICLE. I'M STILL TRYING TO REACH THEM. *NM
