2004 Nissan Maxima

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA. SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED, THE CONTACT HAS EXPERIENCED FAILURES WITH THE RADIO AND HEADLIGHTS, THE ROTORS WERE REPLACED THREE TIMES, THE FRONT COIL SPRINGS WERE REPLACED TWICE, AND THE BATTERY WIRING BURNED. CURRENTLY, THE TRANSMISSION PULLS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS ACCELERATED. THE VEHICLE WILL BE TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO DIAGNOSE THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT NO RECALLS WERE AVAILABLE FOR ANY OF THE FAILURES. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 49,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 26,000.

SINCE THE CAR WAS NEW (PURCHASED FEB. 2004), I HAVE HAD A KNOCKING SOUND FROM THE FRONT RIGHT. THE DEALERSHIP ORIGINALLY DIAGNOSED THIS AS A STRUT PROBLEM, AND REPLACED THE STRUT MOUNT UNDER WARRANTY, BUT THE SOUND CAME BACK WITHIN A FEW MONTHS. NISSAN REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT IN THE CAR (AS EVIDENCED BY THE ABUNDANT COMPLAINTS ONLINE AND ON FILE WITH THE NHTSA), AND HAS CONTINUALLY REFUSED TO COVER THE COST OF REPAIR ONCE THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. *TR

MY 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA EXP TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS @ 65K REPLACED OUT OF WARRANTY SINCE THEN THE CAR HAS HAD (4) FRONT MOTOR MOUNTS (1) TRANSMISSION MOUNT.(1)RACK AND PINION REPLACED,(1) RIGHT FRONT AXLE REPLACED. STRUTS ARE NOW BAD! WHEEL BEARINGS REPLACED, OIL SEALS REPLACED AND THE FRONT END MAKES NOISE LIKE SOMETHING BIG IS LOOSE. OVER $12,000.00 DOLLARS INTO VEHICLE LAST YEAR ALONE? WHEN THE CAR CAME BACK WITH THE NEW TRANS IT STILL WAS NOT RIGHT ? I NOTIFIED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING? I CHOSE NOT TO PAY @ LAST MINUTE TO BRING TO THERE ATTENTION AND I WAS SENT TO COLLECTIONS? I AM STILL PAYING THE $3,997.00 PLUS $1,500.00 FINE FOR ISF THE VEHICLE IS ON ITS 2ND TRANSMISSION AND ITS GONE BAD NOW AS WELL? NISSAN DID REPLACE THE RIGHT AXLE @NO/CHARGE THAT WAS ALL. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN SEPTEMBER OF 2006 REGARDING THE SUBFRAME OF THE VEHICLE. THE RECALL REPAIR CONSISTED OF A REAR WHEEL ALIGNMENT. WHEN SHE RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE, SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND HAD THE RECALL REPAIR PERFORMED. SIX MONTHS LATER, SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER FOR A TIRE INSPECTION. THE DEALER STATED THAT BOTH REAR TIRES APPEARED TO BE MANUFACTURER DEFECTS. THE CONTACT PURCHASED TWO NEW TIRES IN MARCH OF 2007. THE DEALER REFUSED TO HONOR HER WARRANTY FOR THE NEW TIRES BECAUSE HER VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED AT ANOTHER DEALER. SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE TIRE SHOP FOR A ROTATION AND THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE TREAD WAS WORN ON BOTH OF HER NEW REAR TIRES. THE MECHANIC ALSO CONFIRMED THAT WHEN THE RECALL WAS REPAIRED, THE REAR WHEEL ALIGNMENT WAS NEVER PERFORMED. SHE CALLED THE DEALER THAT PERFORMED THE REPAIR AND THEY REFUSED TO SHOW HER THE REPAIR HISTORY PAPERWORK. THE RECALL NUMBER WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 14,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 20,000.

I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA SE THAT I BOUGHT 2 YEARS AGO WITH 14000 MILES ON IT. CURRENTLY HAVE 24000 MILES SO I DON'T DRIVE A LOT. IN THOSE 2 YEARS, I'VE HAD STRUTS, BRAKES, ROTORS,A/C PROBLEMS, TONS OF ANTI-LOCK BRAKE ISSUES(WAS IN SHOP 4 TIMES) AND AT 19000 MILES, A TIRE BLOWOUT AND AGAIN ANOTHER ONE AT 24000 MILES. I SUBMITTED MY PAPERWORK FOR CRACKED SIDEWALLS ON MY GOODYEAR RSA TIRES ON JULY 1,2007 AND HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING YET. THIS CAR HAS BEEN THE CAR FROM YOU KNOW WHERE. IT JUST HAS PROBLEM AFTER PROBLEM--I GET ONE THING FIXED AND SOMETHING ELSE SEEMS TO COME UP. *JB

I OWN A 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA. I HAD THE TIRES REPLACED AT AROUND 30,000 MILES DUE TO "CUPPING" ON THE TIRES. THEY WORE TERRIBLY AND WERE MAKING A TERRIBLE NOISE. I THEN HAD TO HAVE THE RIGHT FRONT STRUT AND BEARINGS REPLACED AT 31,000 MILES AND NOW AT 47,000 MILES MY LEFT FRONT STRUT AND BEARINGS NEEDS REPLACING, WHICH WILL COST ME NEARLY $400.00. THE CAR HAS A BAD VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL AT 50-60 MILES PER HOUR AND WHEN BRAKING. NOW, MY NEW SET OF TIRES HAVE WORN BADLY AND ARE SO NOISY THAT YOU CANNOT HOLD A NORMAL CONVERSATION AT FREEWAY SPEED. I LOVE THE LOOK OF THE CAR, BUT I CANNOT WAIT TO GET RID OF IT! IT IS OBVIOUSLY NOT SAFE IF THE SUSPENSION BOUNCES YOU ALL OVER THE ROAD! ADDITIONALLY, I HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE HEAT SHIELD REPLACED ONCE AND NOW IT NEEDS IT AGAIN. THE POWER OUTLETS ARE IN THE WORST POSSIBLE PLACES I HAVE EVER SEEN. NISSAN....PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS BEFORE YOUR LOYAL CUSTOMERS PAY FOR THIS FLAW! *TR
