I TOOK MY NISSAN IN FOR A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE AT PEP BOYS AND WAS IMMEDIATELY NOTIFIED OF RUST ON THE FLOOR BOARDS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE CAR. IT WAS BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT THE DRIVER SIDE IS BECOMING A SAFETY ISSUE AND CAN FAIL AT ANY TIME DUE TO THE SEVERITY OF THE PROBLEM. I NOTIFIED MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND WAS GIVEN A QUOTE FOR THE REPAIRS. I FORWARDED SAID QUOTE TO CONSUMER AFFAIRS AT NISSAN OF NORTH AMERICA AND WAS LATER NOTIFIED THAT THE MANUFACTURE DECLINED ANY SOLUTION TO MY PROBLEM. IT HAS COME TO MY ATTENTION THAT MANY CARS OF THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL HAVE THE SAME EXACT ISSUE. IT HAS BEEN REPORTED BEFORE BOTH WITH THE NHTSA AS WELL AS THE BBB. IF IT IS A PREVALENT PROBLEM THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DEFECT AND TRY TO REPAIR ALL ISSUES BEFORE PEOPLE ARE HURT. THE REPAIRS ARE EXTENSIVE, LABOR CONSUMING AND EXPENSIVE. *TR

MY ABS/TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM FAILED. DUE TO THE SYSTEM FAILING THE VEHICLE TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTIONS. THIS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY TRAVELING AT THE RECOMMENDED SPEED. DUE TO THE ABS/TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM FAILING MY VEHICLE DECELERATED QUICKLY CAUSING A UNSAFE ENVIRONMENT FOR ME, MY PASSENGER AND THE VEHICLES BEHIND ME. FORTUNATELY THE VEHICLES BEHIND ME WAS AT A SAFE DISTANCE AND NO ACCIDENT WAS CAUSED. I HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED TO SAFE LOCATION BECAUSE THIS MALFUNCTION CAUSES THE TRANSMISSION TO NOT SHIFT FROM A LOW GEAR. THIS PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE IS UNSAFE AND I HAVE JUST FOUND THAT IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM. YET THERE HAS BEEN NO RESPONSIBLE ACTION TAKEN BY NISSAN. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING NORTH ON E I-94 AT THE POSTED SPEED WHEN THE CALL STARTED TO SLOW DOWN AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PAST 40 MILES PER HOUR. THE SLUGGISH SPEED CONTINUED OFF AND ON UNTIL I REACHED MY DESTINATION. ON MY RETURN TRIP HOME, THE MULTITUDE OF LIGHTS CAME ON DURING THE DRIVE (TCS OFF, BRAKE, ABS, SLIP) AND THE CAR WOULD PERIODICALLY GO BETWEEN SLUGGISH AND REGULAR SPEED. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, THE CAR WAS DIAGNOSED WITH HAVE A BAD ABS ACTUATOR AND ONE BAD SPEED SENSOR, TOTAL COST OF REPAIRS ABOUT $2400. FROM WHAT I'VE READ, THIS IS A RECURRING NISSAN PROBLEM ACROSS MODELS AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. IT IS UNCONSCIONABLE THAT WE SHOULD BE HAVE TO PAY FOR A COMPANY MISTAKE. *TR

I OWN A 2007 NISSAN MAXIMA. COMING HOME FROM A TRIP THAT LASTED APPROXIMATELY 60 MILES, I TURNED ONTO MY STREET AFTER ABOUT ANOTHER MILE I WENT OVER A BUMP, AND IT SOUNDED LIKE I HAD SCRAPPED THE BOTTOM OF THE VEHICLE. I CONTINUED ON. WITHIN THE NEXT 500 FEET OR SO THE CAR BEGAN TO PULL EXTREMELY HARD TO THE RIGHT. KNOWING WHAT A TIRE FAILURE FEELS LIKE, I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND GOT OUT. TO MY AMAZEMENT MY RIGHT REAR TIRE HAD LOST ALL AIR WITHIN SECONDS. IF I HAD BEEN TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY LIKE I PREVIOUSLY STATED I WOULD HAVE SPUN OUT. AFTER CHANGING THE TIRE I EXAMINED THE FLAT AND OBSERVED THAT THE TIRE HAD TWO PIECES OF TREAD "TORN" OUT OF THE TIRE IN TWO SEPARATE LOCATIONS. THE FIRST WOULD BE AT APPROXIMATELY 2 O'CLOCK AND THE SECOND AT 9 O'CLOCK. NOT DIRECTLY PARALLEL TO EACH OTHER. THE TIRE HAD NOT BEEN WORN ON THE INSIDE WHERE THE TREAD FAILED, SO I DEEMED IT NOT TO BE A CHASSIS PROBLEM WITH THE CAR. I HAVE PHOTOS OF THE TIRE AND STILL HAVE IT AT THIS MOMENT. *TR
