2010 Nissan Maxima

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 NISSAN MAXIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 3 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO ACCELERATE WITHOUT DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THERE WERE NO FAILURES WITH THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE RECURRED THREE TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALLS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AFTER I STOPPED AT THE STORE. MY KEY LIGHT ON THE DASH WAS ON SO I REFERRED TO THE MANUAL AND IT INDICATED A MALFUNCTION IN THE STEERING LOCK SOLENOID. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS I NOTICE THOUSANDS OF NISSAN OWNERS HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO BE STRANDED WHERE EVER YOU SHUT IT OFF AT. THEN I HAD TO GET THE VEHICLE TOWED WHERE IT COST ME OVER $1000 TO GET IT FIXED. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *TR

I PURCHASED MY MAXIMA 2010 THAT CAME WITH THE SPORTS PACKAGE, USED BACK IN SEPTEMBER OF 2011. FROM THE DAY I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, THE STEERING WHEEL WAS ALWAYS SHAKEN WHEN I BREAK ON THE HIGHWAY FROM DRIVING 60 MILES OR OVER. ON NOVEMBER OF 2012, MY NISSAN MAXIMA 2010 PUSH START BUTTON WOULD NOT START. I HAD TO GET IT TOWED TO A NEAREST NISSAN DEALER. THEY WANTED TO REPLACE THE WHOLE STEERING WHEEL ($700) BECAUSE THEIR DEFENSE IS DUE TO WEAR AND TEAR. IS THIS REALLY POSSIBLE ON A FAIRLY NEW CAR BECAUSE MY HONDAS,SINCE 2004, HAD NEVER HAD TO HAVE THE STEERING WHEEL REPLACED. I HAVE RESEARCHED AND FOUND THAT THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE ON DIFFERENT WEBSITES. I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO KNOW IF THIS POSSIBLE ISSUE IS DUE TO MANUFACTURER'S SIDE. *TR

THIS IS NOT A SAFETY COMPLAINT. HOWEVER, I PURCHASED THIS 2010 NISSAN MAXIMA ONE YEAR AGO. ABOUT ONE MONTH AFTER I PURCHASED IT, THE PAINT STARTED CHIPPING OFF THE BUMPER AND NOW IT LOOKS TERRIBLE. I PAID A LOT OF MONEY FOR THIS VEHICLE AND IT WAS MY IDEAL CAR AND I DEFINITELY DID NOT EXPECT TO HAVE ANY ISSUES WITH IT WHATSOEVER, ESPECIALLY ONE MONTH AFTER MY PURCHASE. NOW I AM HAVING SECOND THOUGHTS ABOUT THE QUALITY PUT INTO THE EXTERIOR OF THE NISSANS. LOVE THE CAR ITSELF BUT VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THE QUALITY. VERY DISAPPOINTED AND CAN'T SAY THAT I WILL BE PURCHASING ANOTHER ONE. WHAT'S SAD IS THAT THERE IS NO WARRANTY ON THE EXTERIOR WHEN IT WAS ONLY A YEAR AND A HALF OLD. DEFINITELY NOT A GOOD LOOK. *TR

2010 NISSAN MAXIMA. CONSUMER STATES UNINTENDED ACCELERATION *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED AS HE APPROACHED A STOP SIGN, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO ACCELERATE AS HE APPLIED THE BRAKE. HE EXPERIENCED IT TWO MORE TIMES, BEFORE HE TOOK THE VEHICLE FOR ITS INITIAL CHECK-UP AND MAINTENANCE. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO FIND A PROBLEM. ON MARCH 29, 2012, AS THE CONSUMER WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO ACCELERATE AGAIN. HE IMMEDIATELY STEPPED ON THE BRAKE AND BARELY AVOIDED A COLLISION WITH A CONCRETE WALL. THE ENGINE STARTED REVVING, SO HE PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND THE ENGINE ROARED FOR A SECOND OR TWO BEFORE GOING BACK TO NORMAL. THE DEALER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATING ACCORDING TO FACTORY SPECIFICATIONS. *JB THE DEALER REPORTED THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATING ACCORDING TO FACTORY SPECIFICATIONS. UPDATED 06/19/12 THE CONSUMER STATED HE HAS SINCE EXPERIENCED ANOTHER EPISODE WITH THE ENGINE RACING, EVEN AS HE APPLIED THE BRAKES. THE CONSUMER STATED HE COULD FEEL THE TENSION OF A TUG OF WAR BETWEEN THE ENGINE AND THE BRAKES, UNTIL HE PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK. UPDATED 09/19/12*JB

ON 3 OCCASIONS, WHEN TRYING TO STOP THE CAR FROM A SLOW SPEED, THE THROTTLE FAILED TO DISCONNECT. I WAS ABLE TO SLOW THE CAR DOWN FROM 25 MPH TO 3MPH, BUT I COULD NOT GET IT TO STOP UNTIL I PUT IT INTO NEUTRAL. WHEN I DID THAT, THE ENGINE RACED JUST LIKE IT WOULD IF YOU WERE ON THE GAS AND SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL. I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR 13 MONTHS AND THIS DID NOT HAPPEN UNTIL2 MONTHS AGO, AND HAS NOW HAPPENED 3 TIMES. OF COURSE, NISSAN CAN'T REPLICATE AND SAYS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. ONLY HAPPENED AT SLOW SPEED AND WITHIN 5 MINUTES OF STARTING THE CAR AFTER SITTING FOR SEVERAL HOURS.. WEATHER WAS ABOVE 70 ALL 3 TIMES. *TR
