Car Stall Problems of Nissan Maxima - part 2

While driving on the interstate, I had cruse control set at 80mph. There was a stalling/jerking motion that took place. After looking over the instrument panal. I notice it was still on cruse control but the mph had dropped a few miles. Once cruse controll was disengaged, I noticed the difference in acceleration. It felt like my car was stuck in third or forth gear. I had to hold pedal to the floor and wait as it picked up speed.

While driving approximately 25 mph, the vehicle suddenly stalled. After approximately ten minutes, I was able to restart the vehicle. The car has stalled in traffic three times over the last 3 weeks. I have read on the internet that there are many others with the same problem. Nissan refuses to correct the problem. When my car stalled the car behind me came close to hitting me. The car is unsafe to drive. I or my family could be killed in an accident due to the stalling of the car in traffic. Gm is now fixing the problem with their cars; after 13 deaths. Please ensure that owners of this car are safe! thanks you.

The contact owns a 2003 Nissan Maxima. While driving at 35 mph, the vehicle stalled. The contact was able to restart the vehicle and all warning lights on the instrument panel illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the cam shaft sensor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was then taken to a dealer but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The contact was aware of NHTSA campaign number: 03v455000 (engine and engine cooling), but the VIN was not included. The failure mileage was 47,000. Updated 7/13/cn the consumer stated the vehicle hard to start. Updated 07/16/jb.

I took my car to Nissan to have my car totally checked over . The abs light came on and I had sharp jerks from the transmission and hesitation around 40 mph . The timing chain also had a rattle when the car was started. My abs system had failed due to water shorting out the abs sensor which destroyed the abs control module repair cost 1200. 00 . When I told the service advisor my abs light was on, he had a service bulletin at his station with exactly what he thought was wrong with my car and he told me it was a common issue with my car. The transmission needs a valve body due to premature wear cost 3500. 00 to rebuild and install new valve body design . The timing chain has guides that wear and chain rubs against plastic then down to metal repair cost 1500. 00. Nissan needs to fix all of these defective cars and pay the people who have made these costly repairs.

While driving my 2012 Nissan Maxima, I was slowing to a stop at an intersection. The car unexpectedly stalled due to a problem with the power steering pump. I was luckily able to push the brakes and emergency brake to get the vehicle to stop. After stopping, I restarted the car, and was without power steering after that. I have read online that there are many other 2012 Nissan Maxima owners who have had similar problems, others reporting the loss of power steering at highway speeds, which could lead to serious crashes or worse. My car is outside of Nissan's factory warranty, but given the car is only 2 years old with 43k miles, it seems it is still far to new to be having a problem such as this. Based on the comments online, it would be in Nissan's and the public's best interest for Nissan to issue a recall on the power steering mechanisms.

I have a 2004 Nissan Maxima. When I was driving, the steering locked up and there was no way to steer. I don’t know how I did it, being petite and not so strong, but I managed to make the car move to the side, then it turned off automatically. I tried to turn on the car and it didn’t start. I had to wait a few minutes and turn the key for a few seconds until the engine restarted. It becomes extremely difficult to pull over to the side, and I was saved the 5-7 times this happened to me. Luck was on my side! I didn’t drive my car on the freeway, because I was terrified my car would stall and my son and I would die in a terrible car accident. I finally had to go to my shop and replace the two camshaft sensors with the following codes p3040 and p0345. With some searching, I found out that I’m not the only one with this issue. I stand by the former complaint: ‘I found out that Nissan has a recall on altima’s with this same issue, but will not cover and recall my vehicle. This is very dangerous and I do not understand why they would only recall certain makes when it is the same exact error code on both vehicles. It is a p3040 and p0345 cam sensor/cam shaft recall through Nissan. However, they say my make and model does not fall under this recall. Shouldn't they recall all vehicles with this same problem?’ thank you for your help in this safety issue.

My car transmission is slipping when trying to accelerate and shifts hard when its does in 1 and 2nd gear and sometimes stall the car and wont move only rev for about 5 secs then jerk hard enough to make it feel like I got hit by another car.

While driving on they highway my vehicle "jerked" while I was going roughly 70mph. When that happened it kind of hesitated and then my "slip" and tcs light came on. Later on that day my vehicle completely stalled while stopped at a intersection. It started back up but started very hard. I arrived at my destination and turned it off for roughly 10 minutes. I tried to start it and it would not start. My vehicle sat for about 2 hours and when I tried it again, it started right up. I researched this problem and found that there was a recall for Nissans for the crank position sensor. All of these issues I had seemed to match up with this recall. Per Nissan my VIN number was not one of the affected vehicles. I find that hard to believe. I had to get my vehicle fixed so I did that today. The problem with my car was the cam position sensor and the crank position sensor. The auto service place called Nissan and Nissan stated to them "this is a known issue" I am not very happy with Nissan right now. I feel that my issues should be taken into consideration for the recall. Everything that happened relates back to the recall. Recall I am referring to is campaign id number: 03v455000. Please review my notes and maybe I can get some help!.

Tl- the contact owns a 2003 Nissan Maxima. The contact stated the vehicle stalled without warning. When they tried to re-start the vehicle it took several tries before the vehicle started. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer and was told the cam position sensor needed to be replaced, but that the vehicle was not included in NHTSA recall campaign id number:03v455000(engine and egine cooling) for the crank position sensor and the cam position sensor. The failure mileage and current mileages were 143,597. Rl.

The contact owns a 2004 Nissan Maxima. The contact stated that while driving 51 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was able to be restarted after several minutes and proceeded to function normally. The contact stated that four years prior to the recent failure, the same symptoms lead to the contact having to replace the engine and the transmission. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileage was 200,000.

The contact owns a 2003 Nissan Maxima. The contact stated that while driving approximately 25 mph, the vehicle suddenly stalled. After approximately ten minutes, the contact was able to restart the vehicle. The failure occurred three different times. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing. The mechanic stated that two cam shaft position sensors and the drive shaft shift sensor would have to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated the VIN was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 03v455000 (engine and engine cooling). The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 118,000.

Upon attempting to start the car, ignition would not change from "lock" to "acc" or "on". Intelligent key warning lamp was lit steady on dash. Steering wheel column was not locked. All power and other functions worked (lights, door locks, etc). Battery is fine. Dealer found steering lock control module part 48700-9n00a faulty and replaced with steering lock control module part 48700-9n00b. Similar part on Nissan gtrs was recalled, part number 48700-jf00a or 48700-jf00b, being replaced by 48700-jf00c same part number is failing for Nissan 370zs as well, same years and same part number 48700-jf00a or 48700-jf00b, yet they are not being recalled. This problem is also occurring in Nissan Maximas and Nissan muranos in all models of Nissan this part was removed in mid 2010 due to consistent failure. The part costs approximately $500 from Nissan, is usually out of stock and back ordered, and costs another $400-$500 to be installed at a dealer. There should be a make-wide recall for all models for this part. Failure of this part strands the driver with no warning of impending failure. How can aelectronic part mounted inside the passengers compartment fail so often at less than three and a half years of service?.

The car had a recall performed on 08/02/2011 to replace crankshaft and camshaft position sensors, the car ran perfectly before the said recall. The mentioned recall also included an earlier recall which was ineffective. Some time after the recall was performed the car would stall intermittently without triggering a code. Finally the stalling triggered a code on 01/29/13 which was a crankshaft position sensor. The dealer confirmed that the crankshaft position sensor code was triggered but denied that it had anything to do with the stalling problem and returned the car with the intermittent stalling condition without a diagnoses. Eventually the car was diagnosed as a bad crankshaft position sensor and repaired on 11/08/2013 after two more visits to the dealer and numerous calls to Nissan north America. This was very same crankshaft position sensor installed by the recall #r3022 which was bad and in effect renders recall #r3022 (Nissan) ineffective, at least in my case. Nissan refused to pay for diagnoses and repair of the failed recall. This failed recall cost me $656. 08 as well as endangered many lives. Note: the car only has 26,000 miles on it.

I pulled out at a busy intersection and my Nissan Maxima stalled out, it seemed like it would not go into first gear, even though I was pressing the gas pedal to accelerate, the car just wouldn't go into gear! it caused other cars to have to slam on brakes and drive on the shoulder to avoid hitting me and each other! my car finally "jerked" violently into gear. I took it to the Nissan dealership and they said this was a known defect in the transmission, 4,000 to fix!! mind you they will replace it with a new defective transmission that there it no guarantee it will last more than 1 year! not a safe car to drive in metropolitan areas!.

Car has stalled on a number of occasions. From a stop, the car will not accelerate nor go into gear, then after a few minutes the car will slam into gear and send the car lurching forward. It actually feels as though someone has hit you from behind. Luckily I was always a distance away from the car in front of me and/or not close enough to other vehicles. Someone is going to be killed from a situation such as this. I have been told that I need a whole new transmission. There are many, many similar defects noted on-line with 04', 05', 06' and 07' Nissans. I have also been told by Nissan dealers that Nissan is replacing transmissions on 07' models but not on the earlier vehicles & that there is a known defect in their valve body which results in failed transmissions.

On my 2003 Maxima se, the "service engine :light" comes on and the moving vehicle stalls. My wife had a close escape from a crash when it happened to her yesterday. It happens when the vehicle has been in operation for a few miles. A scan of the failure code from the engine returned p0340 which implies camshaft position sensor circuit problem. Checking the internet I find that the manufacturer recalled this model for a bad solder on the camshaft position sensor electronic circuit board in 2003, but the dealer never informed me when I purchased the car. My vehicle has only 55000 miles. The dealer claims that just because there was a recall does not mean that every car from that model year will be fixed. This is a serious safety issue. You can check on the internet regarding issues with 2003 Nissan Maxima and you will see rampant problem and operational safety hazard with this specific camshaft sensor component.

We own a 2001 Nissan Maxima, which we purchased new from a Nissan dealer. It has, on 3 occasions, experienced a problem with "surging"/high revving. The cause in every case has been a part known as an "idle air control valve" (iacv), which fails and in doing so, causes the "ecm" (the "engine computer") to fail. We have discovered that hitachi is the sole source for the iacv, whether the part is obtained from a Nissan dealer or any other source under any other brand. This issue is apparently a particularly well-known issue with this model series of vehicle, both Nissan and Infiniti. The first time the vehicle had this issue, it was under warranty and was supposedly repaired by Nissan. However, the same issue has recurred on 2 subsequent occasions, and both times Nissan has wholly failed to address the issue. We have repeatedly attempted to address this issue with Nissan, including, but not limited to, Nissan consumer relations, Nissan's vp of customer satisfaction, the "executive offices" escalation department, etc. , all with no substantive response from Nissan beyond their stating that since the vehicle is no longer under warranty, it isn't Nissan's problem. However, it should be noted that in this latest occurrence, Nissan initially stated that their refusal to address this issue was due to our allegedly having installed "an aftermarket ecm" (we had not). However, when the Nissan dealer confirmed to Nissan that the ecm was in fact a factory Nissan part, and we discovered that there is no such thing as "an aftermarket ecm," Nissan then refused to correct this situation. From our layperson's investigation of this issue, it appears to be a design flaw in the circuitry, and is generally widely known in the repair industry, by enthusiasts, major auto reviewing companies, etc. Therefore, it seems that Nissan's claim to not know of this issue is disingenuous at best.

Per Nissan, no recalls on the following= 1. Cd player does not work, shows error 2. Fuel gauge does not work, shows full all the time and have ran out of gas-complete safety hazard!! 3. Transmission needed replaced-did not have reverse-complete safety hazard 4. Catalytic converter needed replaced-stalled on the side of the highway due to loss of power and avoided an accident-complete safety hazard 5. Motor needed replaced-motor quit working while on the highway-avoided an accident while I lost power. I went over and beyond always replacing the motor oil & filter at 3000 miles 6. Speakers quit working and will blare back on unexpectedly while driving startling me, the volume does not work-complete safety hazard 7. Front air bag sensor corroded and had to be replaced-thankfully no injuries as a result if I had been in an accident! 8. Front suspension replaced including pin-Nissan shows a notice on this but not a recall!!!!????? 9. Drivers side door arm rest broke apart and had cut my elbow while driving 10. Rear wheel wells/fenders are rusting thru.

The contact owns a 2006 Nissan Maxima. While driving 20 mph, the vehicle suddenly pulled to the right and the contact crashed into the vehicle next to him. The contact's vehicle flipped over several times. She sustained injuries to her left arm. No one else was injured. A police report was filed. The vehicle is currently being diagnosed by the contact's insurance company. Prior to the crash, she noticed that the vehicle would stall while driving at any speed. The current and failure mileages were 38,500.

I have a 2003 Nissan Maxima that stalled while I was driving down the highway. I was able to get the car restarted after a couple of minutes and I later researched the problem. Apparently, there was a recall for that problem (recall 03v455) involving 3 faulty sensors and my VIN fall inside the range of applied vins jn1da*1* 400002 - 515067. I did have my car repaired by Nissan at a cost to me of over $416 whereas, Nissan replaced two of the sensors. At this time, Nissan insists that my car and VIN do not apply. I had read on the internet that they are others with the same problem and Nissan refuses to correct their problem also. I agree that this is a safety problem since the car behind me came close to hitting me when my car stalled and the driver proceeded to honk the horn and shout and me. It is my believe that Nissan has not been diligent in their efforts to get this problem resolved and get this unsafe cars off the road. I would like Nissan to resolve this issue by 1. ) reimbursing me for the cost of my repairs, 2. )repair the other faulty sensor that was part of the recall that they did not repair this time and 3. ) repair others like mine that Nissan refuses to repair at this time.

My 2003 Maxima stalled out twice while driving, once while at a very busy intersection during rush hour. My mechanic informed me that Nissan had recalled the 2003 Maximas for a faulty cam sensor that causes the vehicle to stall. However, in typical fashion, Nissan told me that my VIN did not fall under the recall and they would not help me. My mechanic told me that the local Nissan dealership informed him that the part was on national backorder and he could not repair my vehicle. In the meantime, I could possibly be in an accident because of faulty manufacturing. My mechanic also informed me that Nissan has changed the part number, meaning that the part is the cause of the problem, which proves that my vehicle should be repaired by Nissan.

The contact owns a 2004 Nissan Maxima. While driving between 20-35 mph, the vehicle slips and stalls in and out of gear. The failure also occurs between first and second gears. Occasionally, the transmission kicks into gear, but it is so severe that the vehicle finally accelerates to a very high speed. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer and they stated that new engine mounts were needed. He did not believe that new engine mounts would correct the failure. The contact took the vehicle to a repair shop and was informed that the transmission failed. The VIN was unknown. The failure mileage was 60,000 and current mileage was 70,000.

The contact owns a 2001 Nissan Maxima. While driving approximately 55 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning and then immediately restarted. The dealer stated that the air control valve needed to be replaced at the cost of $550. The contact has not repaired the vehicle because he believes it is a safety defect. The manufacturer did not provide any assistance. The failure and current mileages were 80,000.

My new 2007 Nissan Maxima was "bucking" at 40 mph & 60 mph. The service engine soon came on. Later that day, the vehicle stalled out on me 3 times. The next day I was able to drive the vehicle to the dealership. They indicated that it was the cam shaft. The next day I was able to pick up my vehicle. However, I couldn't get it out of the dealership parking lot after stalling 3 times each time I put it into drive. The mechanic was authorized to take my vehicle over night to drive it after being able to test drive it. I was informed the next day that the mechanic couldn't get it out of the dealership parking lot either. They have been in touch with the manufacturer, but they can't seem to locate any error.

: the contact stated while driving various speeds, the vehicle stalled however it would restart. This had occurred since the vehicle was purchased. It was taken to a dealer who could not determine the cause of the problem. There have been several repairs to the vehicle including the replacement of three oxygen sensors, the alternator and starter. There was a recall #02v171000 pertaining to the electrical system. The vehicle was not included in the recall due to the VIN. Updated 12/15/06.

This incident inovlves my Nissan Maxima 2002 se with automatic transmission. While driving on I-25 in rush hour traffic at approximately 70 mph, the car started to buck and engine power was severely reduced. The car immediately slowed to less than 45 mph and just missed being hit from behind by the following traffic. I was fortunate to maintain control and work my way over to the shoulder. When stopped the car stalled and was difficult to restart. I was able to restart the car and was able to drive to the dealership at very reduced speed (<45 mph). The dealership informed me of a current technical service bulletin out for the car and that since my car was out of warranty (3 yr/36000 mile) current mileage 37500. I would have to incur the cost of replacement. This seems to be a very serious defect with the mass/flow sensor according to the bulletin and I wonder why this is not a recall type replacement. I consider myself lucky to be here with such a severe product defect. Especially one that is easily repaired and should be instituted in cars currently in service but not yet repaired. Nissan's reluctance to incur the cost of my repair just because it's out of warranty is a bad customer relation move on their part, but besides that I believe not recalling this part puts other motorists at risk. Thank you.
