2010 Nissan Maxima

CAR WILL NOT START DUE TO STEERING WHEEL LOCK MALFUNCTION. CALLED MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHO ADVISED ME OF THE PROBLEM WHICH THEY ARE AWARE OF. HOWEVER, THE EXTENDED WARRANTY TO COVER THIS ISSUE EXPIRED MARCH OF 2015. SO THAT LEAVES THE CUSTOMER WITH AN OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE OF 900-1100 DOLLARS. NISSAN HAS NOT ISSUED ANY RECALL. I'M STUCK PAYING FOR A CAR THAT DOESN'T START AND FORCED TO SHELL OUT OVER A $1000 FOR A PROBLEM THAT IS THE MANFACTURER'S FAULT. THIS IS HIGHWAY ROBBERY. A COMPLETE RIPOFF TO NISSAN'S CUSTOMERS. THIS COMPANY IS A JOKE. I WILL NEVER EVER PURCHASE ANOTHER NISSAN AGAIN. AND I STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT ONE ELSE DOES.

THE STEERING WHEEL LOCK IS A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT THAT NISSAN HAS KNOWN ABOUT IN THEIR 2009 MODELS. THE REPAIR IS GOING TO COST ME, AND ANYONE THAT COMES THIS ISSUES, AND THAT OUT OF WARRANTY $1100.00. THIS REPAIR ISN'T GUARANTEED EITHER. CALLED CONSUMER AFFAIRS ONLY TO BE TOLD NO. THIS PART YOU NEED IS ONLY AVAILABLE AT A NISSAN DEALERSHIP, AND THE PART ITSELF COST $900. FOR NISSAN TO NOT STAND BY THEIR CARS IS A SHAME.

MY WIFE'S 2010 MAXIMA HAS ISSUES WITH THE AIRBAG SENSOR IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND IT DOESN'T OPERATE CORRECTLY. IT IS THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE 2013 NISSAN RECALLS BUT THAT RECALL DOESN'T GO BACK FAR ENOUGH. I'VE CONTACTED NISSAN HEADQUARTERS AND THEY JUST BLEW ME OFF. THE CONTACT PERSON'S NAME IS [XXX] WITH NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND HE HAS YET TO CONTACT ME BY MY CELL. THEY KEEP CALLING ME ON MY HOME NUMBER AND WE AREN'T HOME MOST OF THE TIME. I'VE RECENTLY CALLED THEM AGAIN THIS PAST FRIDAY AND THE REPRESENTATIVE SAID SOMEONE WILL CONTACT ME IN A FEW HOURS. TODAY IS WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 14, 2016 AND STILL NO PHONE CALL. I WAS ADVISED A FEW WEEKS AGO TO TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND GET A QUOTE BY NISSAN HQ AND CALL THEM BACK WITH THE INFORMATION. I'VE DONE THAT AND NOW THEY WON'T RETURN MY CALLS. [XXX] CONTACT NUMBER IS [XXX] AND MD CASE # [XXX]. NISSAN KEEPS CLOSING MY CASE NUMBER AND WON'T ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. I JUST DON'T WANT MY FAMILY PUT AT RISK IF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG DOESN'T DEPLOY BECAUSE OF A FAULTY SENSOR IN THE SEAT. I WANT NISSAN TO TAKE CARE OF THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMETHING HORRIBLE HAPPENS. THE CONTACT PERSON AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR NISSAN IS [XXX] AND THAT NUMBER IS [XXX]. HE CAN VERIFY HOW MUCH IT WOULD COST BY THE QUOTE HE GAVE US. IT'S APPROXIMATELY $1,100 TO FIX. THANKS FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE IN THIS MATTER NHTSA.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR TO SOUTHERN CAL, THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON. THE CAR WOULD NOT GO ABOVE 2000 RPMS PERIODICALLY. I PARKED THE CAR FOR 1 - 2 HRS AND IT SEEMED TO START WORKING AGAIN. ONCE HOME, I HEADED TO THE MECHANIC THE NEXT DAY AND THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED COMPLETELY. I SHOULD HAVE STOPPED AND CALLED NISSAN ON THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE ONCE I MADE IT HOME THE ODOMETER WAS ABOVE 120,000.

I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY HEADED TO NASHVILLE,TENNESSEE. I HAD BEEM DRIVING APROXIMATELY 45 MINUTES WHEN MY GAS PEDAL STOP WORKING ON ME. THE CAR STARTED SLOWING DOWN AND I START PULLING OVER TO GET OUTBOF OTHER CARS WAYS. THE BREAKS WERE STILL WORKING BUT THE GAS WAS NOT WORKING. I TURNED THE CAR ON AND OFF AND STILL NO GAS BUT ALLL OF THE SUDDEN ALL THE LIGHTS CAME ON SO I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO CALL MY INSURANCE FOR ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE. I HAVE NEVER HAD OR HEARD OF AN ISSUE LIKE THIS.
