general problems of the 2008 Nissan Maxima

The car ignition will not let me turn it.

My car accelerated causing damage to mailbox, telephones pole and I don't know what else? and myself, along with other people could have been seriously hurt, was driving down the street when a car pulled in front of me, I swerved to keep from hitting them, when I did that my car accelerated to high speed, while my foot was on the brake the whole time and both hands on the stirring wheel while it proceeded to cross the intersection until it came to a stop, foot still on brake while it started to back up slowly back into the intersection I pray to god and then stirred the wheel into the sidewalk and into the back of a pole is where it stopped foot still on brake while the police and ambulance got there. I noticed a week befor it stopped in the middle of me driving it, I thought maybe the key need a new battery so I strarted using the key in the egnition which I usually don't do because of it being a keyless also noticed the seat belt was having issues would not return to its proper place after releasing the belt. ? I know this was a electrical or malfunction and someone needs to find it because I did not mistake the gas for the brake.

While waiting for a traffic light to turn green the car stalled. Had to turn the car starter several times before the car would start again. The dealer diagnosed the issue as a failed cam and crank shaft sensor. Prior to this incident the car had trouble starting and would stall when the engine was cold. The dealer diagnosed the issue as the fuel pump not holding its pressure. Cam and crank shaft sensors were replaced as well as the fuel pump.

Driver and passenger floor rusted big whole on both side. Just look under the car this week when I took it to the mechanic.

Rusting in their cars¿ floorboards. Rusting large enough to see through the car floor.

It started with what the technicians mentioned as a "misfire," and I kept smelling something burning through the air vents inside the car. After spending $1200. 00 for a complete tune-up with Nissan parts, fixing a motor mount, and a cheap hose that crumbled as they were repairing the car in February 2014 I had to spend another $500. 00 in November to replace the same Nissan spark plugs that burned out after no where near their usage date and replace back coils. I took the car to Nissan to look at the service engine light and ask why one headlight is foggy and the other one is not in which they had no answer so I had to pay $75. 00 for them to clean the foggy light and now it's foggy again so they say $1200 for a new one which is ridiculous to me. The paint is fading and the chrome is completely gone on the roof and this is 2008 model which makes no sense to me. After spending this in 2014, in February 2015 I had to pay Nissan $2000. 00 to replace the catalyst converter, fix an oil leak, tpm sensor for the second time, and for a brake flush and rear brakes. I took the car in to Nissan today and tire pressure light is on spent two hours them for them to tell me it was a small leak in the tire that they patched and something keeping the rim from sealing around the tire completely. Today I get home and the driver seat would not move backwards or forward after my wife leave to go to work the seat starts to work as I am on the highway driving in heavy traffic and it moves forward all the way to the steering wheel causing me to press down further on the gas which was very dangerous and I was able to struggle to pull over in side median in order to maneuver out of the seat and cut the car off. After standing on side the highway, pressing the seat device it finally moved back enough for me to continue driving to work.

The floor board on the driver's side is rusted through. This is a safety hazard and I have contacted Nissan to see if they would assist in covering the repairs. I contacted Nissan and I was told by marilyn that "Nissan could not offer any assistance for the repairs. . . It is just too far out of warranty. " my vehicle is only six years old and after additional research have found that rusted out floors are quickly becoming a problem for Nissan. My goal here is to make sure others are aware of this problem that Nissan is ignoring. I would like Nissan to repair my vehicle without charge to me. Any assistance or advice you can give me will be appreciated.

About 4-5 months ago I noticed an oil spot on my driveway and as the months passed the spots got larger and larger. Now if the car is running my 2008 Maxima leaves a large oil spot wherever I am stopped. It is getting very aggravating because I now can't drive my car any long distances for fear of it running out of oil and causing severe engine damage. Please help!.

Purchased 2008 Maxima as 2nd owner when car was 6 months old with approx. 20k miles. Recently while having tired changed, noticed extreme rust on underside of the passenger front seat. In researching the internet, this appears to be a common problem with Maximas. This car has been babied since I have owned it, driving minimum miles. What is Nissan doing to address this problem?.

The dashboard on my 2008 Nissan altima is melting so barely I thing because of the sun and the bad material. However, it makes difficult to drive during the day because of the reflective glare on the windshield. My car is only 39,800 miles. I need help from Nissan company.
