PURCHASED A NEW 2010 NISSAN MAXIMA. THIS PAST WEEKEND, 4-3-11 WHILE TRAVELING ENGINE DEVELOPED A LOUD SOUND LIKE METAL TO METAL GRINDING OR LOUD MUFFLER. CAR TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE CHECKED, HAS BEEN THERE FOR 4 DAYS AND YESTERDAY WE WERE INFORMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED REPLACED. EXTREMELY LOW MILEAGE ON THIS MODEL & NO EXCUSE FOR THIS TRANSMISSION TO BE BAD ALREADY! IT APPEARS THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER REPORTS OF TRANSMISSIONS GOING BAD IN THE NISSAN MAXIMA, CAN THIS BE INVESTIGATED?? *TR

MY HUSBAND & I PURCHASED THE 2007 NISSAN MAXIMA FOR OUR DAUGHTER WHO IS NOW EXPECTING HER FIRST CHILD. MY HUSBAND BORROWED HER CAR TO DRIVE MY SISTER HUSBAND AND CHILDREN BACK TO ATLANTA AIRPORT MIND YOU SPEED LIMIT ON I75 IS 70MPH, WHEN THIS MAXIMA LOCKED UP AND SHUT DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF A 6 LANE HWY. THANKFULLY HE WAS ABLE TO COAST ACROSS THE HWY TO THE SHOULDER AND THE CAR SMELLED SO MY HUSBAND CALLED MY INSURANCE CO. MY SISTER ENDED UP TAKING A TAXI AND WE HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED 95 MILES ($282.00). PYE NISSAN HAS THE CAR IN DALTON AND THE SERVICE TECH SAID THE COMPRESSOR LOCKED UP AND BLEW ALL THE BELTS DUE TO ME NOT HAVING THE COMPRESSOR LUBRICATED. THE CAR WARRANTY EXPIRED JUST A FEW MONTHS AGO AND NISSAN SAID THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DUE AND WANTS $1000.00 TO FIX THIS. I HAVE CALLED ANOTHER NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THE SERVICE TECH AT THIS DEALERSHIP SAID THAT HE NEVER HEARD OF THE COMPRESSOR BEING LUBRICATED AND HE HAS BEEN WITH NISSAN FOR 20 YEARS. WHERE IS JUSTICE WHEN YOU PURCHASE A $30,000.00 CAR AFTER 3 YRS A MAJOR PART LIKE THIS GOING, I JUST THANK GOD IT WAS MY HUSBAND DRIVING AND NOT MY PREGNANT DAUGHTER. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS CAR BEING UNSAFE NOW FOR NOT ONLY MY DAUGHTER BUT MY UNBORN GRANDSON. SIGNED CHATSWORTH GEORGIA. *TR

PASSENGER AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATES SPORADICALLY WHILE DRIVING WITH A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT. VEHICLE HAS 7000 MILES AND I TRADED IN AN IDENTICAL VEHICLE 2009 WITH 25,000 MILES THAT WAS DOING THE EXACT SAME THING. DEALER COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG, BUT AGREED THAT IF THE LIGHT IS ON, THE AIRBAG WOULD NOT DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT. HE STATED THAT POSSIBLY "THE LEATHER ON THE SEAT HAS TO AGE TO GIVE IT MORE FLEXIBILITY". MY WIFE IS 140 POUNDS AND 68" TALL. I BELIEVE THAT SHOULD KEEP THE AIRBAG SYSTEM ACTIVE. A GOOGLE SEARCH REVEALED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. *TR
