2011 Nissan Maxima

TRANSMISSION: THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON INDICATOR WAS ON SO I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR SERVICE. WHEN I RECEIVED THE DIAGNOSIS I WAS TOLD THAT MY TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. MY CAR IS JUST 3YRS OLD AND HAS 98K MILES. I WAS INFORMED THAT THIS IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AS THE EXTENDED WARRANTY EXPIRED AT 75K MILES. THE TOTAL COST OF THE RE-MANUFACTURED 3.5 TRANSMISSION WOULD BE $3589. 2003-2010 MODELS HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE 3.0 TRANSMISSION BECAUSE OF THE SAME ISSUE. THE 2011 AND NEWER MODELS AREN'T COVERED CITING THAT IT'S NOT THE SAME TRANSMISSION (3.0 VS 3.5) THOUGH THE ISSUE WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION IS THE SAME. FOLLOWING ARE THE DIAGNOSIS CODES I RECEIVED: P0744, P0868 AND B2190. RECOMMEND CVT ASSEMBLY. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN MAXIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 55,200.

SINCE THE PURCHASE OF MY NISSAN MAXIMA, THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG SENSOR HAS BEEN SENSITIVE. IT LIGHTS UP INDICATING THAT THE AIR BAG IS NOT ENGAGED WHEN I SIT IN THE SEAT. I AM A 125 LB WOMAN. THERE IS NO INDICATION OF MINIMUM WEIGHT TO ACTIVATE THE AIRBAG IN THE MANUAL. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM SINCE WE PURCHASED THE CAR 2 1/2 YEARS AGO. WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO 2 DIFFERENT DEALERS TO CHECK OUT THE PROBLEM. THEY SAY THERE IS NO PROBLEM BUT I CAN'T BELIEVE THE CAR WASN'T DESIGNED FOR A GROWN WOMAN TO SIT IN THE FRONT SEAT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER'S SIDE BRAKE LIGHT FAILED SEVERAL TIMES. THE DEALER REPLACED THE BRAKE LIGHT BULB HOWEVER THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 75,567.

MY NISSAN MAXIMUM AIR BAG ON THE PASSAGE SIDE GOES OFF WHILE DRIVING. I REPORTED IT TO MY DEALER AND NISSAN CORPORATE OFFICE. I WAS ASKED IF I HAD SOMETHING IN THE SEAT THAT WEIGHTED 20 POUNDS. I WEIGHT 142 AND THE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON AND STAY ON FOR SOMETIME 20 MILES DRIVING UP TO 60-70 MILES PER HOUR. I FELL SO UNSAFE. I BOUGHT THIS CAR DEC. OF 2010 AND IT HAS A LITTLE OVER 21000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING NISSAN FOR OVER FOURTH YEARS. I HAVE BEEN VERY DISAPPOINTED IN NISSAN RESPONSES. THEY REFERRED ME TO THERE BBB INC.. IT WAS NOT A GOOD RESULT. *TR

THE CAR HAS A PUSH BUTTON START AND COULD NOT BE TURNED-OFF. ALL EMERGENCY PROCEDURES IN THE MANUAL WERE FOLLOWED AND THE CAR COULD NOT BE TURNED-OFF. THE DEAL ACTUALLY LET THE CAR RUN UNTIL IT RAN OUT OF GAS. THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE THERE WAS ANY ISSUE WITH THE CAR UNTIL I WENT TO TURN IT OFF, THEN THE ENGINE WOULD NOT SHUT-OFF. A DRIVER COULD BE IN NEED OF GAS, OR NEED TO STOP WITH CHILDREN IN THE CAR AND WOULD BE IN A SITUATION WHERE THE CAR WILL NOT STOP RUNNING. THE DOORS WOULD NOT LOCK WITH THE CAR RUNNING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN MAXIMA. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 40 MPH WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED TO AVOID A CRASH AND THE TRACTION WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED.

TEN MINUTES LATER, THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS UNRESPONSIVE AND COULD NOT BE DRIVEN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE TO THE CONTACT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 10,000. UPDATED 05/31/12*LJ
