1 Anti-theft Devices problem of the 2008 Nissan Maxima

Failure Date: 08/06/2017

Tl- the contact owns a 2008 Nissan Maxima. The contact stated that while driving at 40 mph, the vehicle lost power and stalled without warning. The contact was unable to restart the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the vehicle stalled because the anti-theft system registered the key as faulty. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact spoke to metro Nissan of redlands 1665 industrial park Ave, redlands, CA 92374 who stated that the repair would not be covered under warranty and the entire anti-theft system would need to be re-mapped. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that the contact would have to pay out of pocket for the repair. The approximate failure mileage was 135,000.

2 Anti-theft Devices problem of the 1999 Nissan Maxima

Failure Date: 02/11/2007

I have a potentially deadly problem with my 133,000-mile, 1999 Nissan Maxima. It might be related to the crank sensor on newer Maxima, a steering column lock, a faulty ignition switch, faulty clutch depression switch, and the anti-theft kill switch, perhaps even a random ground. The problem was conceivably catastrophic. Upon entering my car using the remote, occasionally the car won't respond, and must be unlocked manually. In these instances, neither the dome lights nor the headlights shine. When the ignition key is rotated to the start position, as the clutch is being depressed, sometimes the gauge lights appear and then quickly fade and disappear; the car just doesn't crank. A faint, diminishing telltale buzzing sound can be heard. What's worse, this can happen spontaneously while driving, in which case the car's steering wheel locks and the brakes become inoperable. I have had this happen on three occasions, twice while driving in a mall parking lot (February and March ã‚07) and the other time (just last week) while turning into my neighbor's driveway, to take out her oak tree. The ignition crank sensor must slip into an inoperable mode during driving or while attempting to start the car, or the anti-theft switch somehow interferes with starting, operation or driving. Maybe the master ignition coil is failing (but that doesn't explain the headlight and dome light problems). The clutch switch may not engage when its pedal is being depressed. Sometimes, I can restart the car after an incident in which it was parked for a while. My battery is brand new, and there don't seem to be any shorts as far as I can tell. But nothing electrically works (not even the radio) when I have to unlock the car manually. I am very concerned about driving the car beyond my neighborhood. I might have to become a hermit, or worse, a college professor. Any ideas? the car is in excellent shape otherwise and has all service records.

3 Anti-theft Devices problem of the 2003 Nissan Maxima

Failure Date: 12/22/2003

Nissan xenon (hid) headlights stolen, second time in three days. After the first incident, Nissan installed an anti-theft system which should have prevented theft. But that did nothing. Vehicle lights were stolen during daylight in heavy populated area. This is becoming very frustrating, especially because of its frequency. Safety concerns should be considered because individuals with these Nissans are driving with no headlights when stolen, no lights no turn signals. Nssan motor will not offer any assistance to aide in solving this problem, upon calling them they basically said they could not assist.

4 Anti-theft Devices problem of the 2002 Nissan Maxima

Failure Date: 10/16/2002

Head lights were stolen from the vehicle. Damage was done to the electrical system, hood and bumper because thief knew that there was no motion sensor alarm. The brackets holding each $724 light is made of plastic and can easily be snapped/broken. The anti-theft kit doesn't do anything because it doesn't fix the issue that the lights can still be removed by breaking the bracket without opening the hood. The horn wiring was also removed because of its easy accessibility through the grill.
