I bought this 2006 Nissan Maxima sl with 137,806 miles. I drove it home. The next day, it would not start, I went and bought a battery, on the way the service engine soon light came on. , then the tcs and slip light came on. Took it to a mechanic shop, he keep it almost 4 weeks, and then told me it was not worth fixing/repairing it. I could not believe, I just spent over $4,000. 00 on this car and I only drove it home!!, I took it to another well known mechanic shop, he tells me that it needs a new transmission, motor mounts, sensors and probably more. It is not worth fixing it. I am a 57 year old lady and I dont have the money to buy another car and I dont have the money to fix it. I hear that these cars have alot of transmission problems and more. I wish I had known that before buying it.

The car has stalled when stopped and while driving. Slip light and tsp warning lights go on along with service engine. I noticed the recall from 2003 was for similar problems. However I put in my VIN # and I'm assuming my car does not apply. Very very dangerous. My young daughter was driving when it died. Would like to know if repairs would be covered under previous recall.

Car idling, jerking and hesitating at 30mph. When accelerating it does not. The car is going but from a slow speed going to a higher mph, it will stay stuck and if you floor it, it just won't move. This is dangerous. It's happened on the freeway three times. Now the brake fluid is leaking everywhere. This is a second issue. Transmission. Engine. Cvt, ecm issue and mass air flow sensor and pvc sensor must not be on correctly. I have videos. The service dept has seen them but they can't seem to duplicate the issue.

I was driving my vehicle on the interstate 485 and was pressing the gas going 70 mph and the car slowed down on its own to 30 mph which almost caused me to have an accident. My foot was all the down on the gas petal touching the floor. I was able to pull off to the side, thank goodness. I have never been so scared in my life. I do have a video of it happening,.

I was driving in a residential area and suddenly steering wheel got stiff, brakes seemed to be on, dashboard lights appeared with "tcs off" "slip" and "check engine " all appeared on dashboard. I almost crashed due to this.

When driving the car would loose power and not accelerate. Driving onto on ramp to highway and car would not accelerate and started to loose speed while merging. No lights came on dash or anything. Seems like the car went into limp mode or something.

I went in a restaurant and when I came out to start my car it would not start out of now where no warning signs it just made some clicking sound like it was attempting to start but would not catch. I replaced the battery but the engine light was on and it lacked power. It would not accelerate past 60 with it being floored. . . I had diagnostic done which gave me a could that the ecm (electric control module) shorted. .

Water build up and swishing back and forth in my rear door, have to keep removing the rubber seal and draining the water. . . . Will cause erosion, poor gas mileage due to weight of the water. . .

My brake light and battery light come on at the same time. My went dead in the middle of a turn. I replaced the battery. Had the alternator checked. Was told it was fine. After a new battery my car runs fine but loses power and hesitates like its going to stall from take off or entering a turn and my brake and battery are still coming on at the same time. I googled the issue and it appears be a long standing issue no real resolution. I took it to autozone they did diagnostic test and I got code p0011 the same one I paid to be repaired previously.

Navagation dashboard blinking in and out now wont come back on, braking is sluggish.

The check engine repeatedly comes one and car stalls or idles when driving. Can not pass inspection due to p0014 and p0024 camshaft codes repeatedly coming back on. Research shows this is a common problem with these models. This occurs when driving in the city limits.

On my way to work as I was driving down the highway my 2011 Nissan Maxima all of the sudden would no longer speed up. The vehicle was on and as I tried to accelerate while driving down the highway the speedometer went to 0 mph but the rpm would climb. I luckily was able to steer the car into an empty parking lot. My car had no check engine/service engine lights on. There were no warnings. I thought it was the speed sensor due to the original diagnostic code of p0500 and tried replacement but that did not solve the issue. My vehicle was towed to a Nissan dealership who said it was showing �pages full of codes� and they told me that my transmission needed to be completely replaced and that �it just happens. � prior to this total failure I experienced absolutely zero signs of transmission failure. There were no warning lights (check engine/service engine soon), no slipping/jerking, leaking, nothing at all. After researching the potential cause of transmission failure in my make/model/year vehicle I found there were many 2011 owners who were experiencing the same issue, total transmission failure without warning.

Abs and brake light came on flashing periodically over a weeks time, speedometer stopped working, next day the parked car �5 hours cold� caught on fire around fuse box area everything electrical burned up. Police report was done but I do not have a copy, still waiting on fire marshal report. Upon researching online other vehicle have had same issue.

Front radar obstruction unavailable warning comes on very often and remains for a couple minutes up to 15+minutes. When using cruise control this stops the cruise causing a slow down. This happens when in motion and very often.

"takata recall" in motion, shifting has a large clock sound I'd like to know if it's a recall on the coil. Both city street and highway, when accelerating it seems to stall in moving to the next gear or actually not even shift into the next gear in motion, so will not allow the car to pick up any momentum. Reverse is very loud with a somewhat bang to it. As I said before it could be the coil but I'd like to know how to identify if it's also a driveshaft.

The car is becomes unstable and difficult to control when going over bumps, even at moderate speeds (20+ mph). When going over bumps, there is a loud thump / clunk / bang from the rear suspension - and then the rear of the car looses traction/stability. Nissan must be aware of a design issue issue as it has issued a TSB trying to solve the inferior bushings it chose for the rear suspension - service bulletin ntb17-107. However this does not solve the instability problem. I find myself driving at half the legal speeds to keep the car stable - the need to slow down for each bump is creating a road hazard. Driving on the same roads with my other cars at much higher speeds (road legal speeds), I do not experience anything like that. The stability control function does not seem to help and it lights up frequently when driving on bumpy roads. I found myself veering of the road several times because of the difficulty to control the car. This must be a terrible and dangerous design flaw. In roads that I can drive the legal speed in a Hyundai sonana or Toyota 4runner (45 - 65mph) I sometimes need to cut speed in half when driving the Nissan Maxima sr just to keep the car stable on the road.

Over heating gurgling in over flow, had radiator flushed and topped off,still over heat,looking at my recites it says I have a leaking water hose but no one replaced it, on 9/27/16. Drove my car threw winter then went to another machanic had the thermostat replaced on 6/30/17 still over heat, brought car back to Nissan dealer on 1/19/18 told them it still gurgels and there was a slight hesitation when driving and I noticed my power steering hose was leaking, was told I need a water pump and radiator, power steering said was fixed and visc valve was stuck open so replaced , said car is good to go so when my girl friend and I got in the car the check engine light was on he said it's probably because of the new parts he then took the light off said drive it 30 miles so I could have a smog done, drove south bound on hwy 101 in santa rosa going 60 mph and the car shut down and all lights where flashing, had no power to get in a safe place off the freeway, coasted down the off ramp to gas station and called Nissan, they said have it towed back, while waiting for tow I lifted my hood to find not only was my power steering still leeking but two other hoses were leeking as well. When I looked at my recite it said found that both power steering hoses were leeking as well as high pressure power line but only pressure hose was replaced, I asked why they all weren't replaced while showing them the leak they said we will order those hoses today and I don't have to pay, lol really? one day later the manager wanted to speak to me with the mechanic ,long story short now I need a alternator, battery, coil,spark plugs,so I go and buy the spark plugs and alternator another $ 321 and $245 to fix , it sits now at Nissan with more problems then ever,and it almost cost my friend and I my life on the freeway, I looked up recalls on my year and found there where some on it shutting down.

Takata recall driver and passenger windows were both down on 11/9/17 around 8am in the morning. Both driver and passenger window were all the way down. I did leave the doors unlocked or windows down when I went to sleep. The car was stationary on a regular street parked over night.

Takata recall!!! my passenger air bag seat light is flashing. Also I bought the top crankshaft position sensor and it had a recall, is my vehicle covered? my control arm needs to be changed can you please advise me on the next decision I should make. . I'm taking it to gerald Nissan in north aurora for the second time for the airbag.

When there is a passenger sitting in the front passenger seat, sometimes the �airbag off� indicator light will go on randomly. I even have video proof of this happening while my girlfriend, weighing 130 pounds, was sitting in the front passenger seat with her seatbelt on. The light would stay on for minutes, sometimes an hour, before randomly turning off. Also, the engines oxygen sensor randomly triggers the �service engine� light as well, I believe it needs to be reprogrammed.

I bought this car from a use car dealer on 01/31/2017. On 02/08/2017 my daughter told me to go on lainey and enter my VIN number because there was a recall on my 2016 Nissan Maxima sr. I called lynch Nissan and told them I had purchased a car with recall on it with a fire hazard and they told me to bring it in on Monday, 02/12/2017. I took the car in for the repair and they called me on Wednesday, 02/14/2017 to pickup my car. Because I was at work, I asked if I could pick up the car the next day. I was told no because they had provided me a rental car and I had to return it on the day the work was completed. Once I returned the rental car, I was told the rental car was fine. When I went to the service center I was asked to sign a paper but they would have to mail me the papers stating what was done to my car. I have never been asked to signed something and then told they can't provide me a copy. Because this car was sold to me without my knowledge of it having a fire hazard, I called Nissan (nessie) and asked them to buy the car back and they refused. Nissan is now saying everything has been taken care of but I have no documentation of what they asked me to sign nor what type of work was performed on my car. Because I had no knowledge of this recall before I purchase this car and not having a copy of what Nissan asked me to sign, I am now afraid to drive this car because of the fire hazard.

Vehicle is parked and engine wont start. Had a 2009 Maxima that also had the same issues. Checked battery and it is fine but car wont start. I have jumpstarted it and that has turned the car back on but after a few months I have the same issue. This last time my car did not start , not even with a jump start.

Nissan has on its site that the newer model Nissan Maxima after 2009 does not have the escl malfunction (electric steering column lock) but I just experienced it two weeks ago after dropping off my daughter to school. Luckily I was in my driveway when it occurred. When the car goes into that state, the entire car is on lock down it will not move. It can happen to you anywhere and you can be stranded. Nissan knows it's a malfunction and they are refusing to make it a recall, plus they promised that it would not happen to the newer models after 2009 but it happened to me on 11/1/16. In the site they tell you what they will do but it is not honored.

"tamara inflators" seat belts didn't lock or light did not come on. Smashed body all the way to back seat bottom to ground. Engine was idling very high felt/sound as if we were going 60 but only was going 40. No air bags came on. Brakes grinding. Back window blew out and tires flat in back. . Windows slow on drivers side. When the sheriff tahoe hit us at 80mph on u. S. 40 greenfield in was in the shop at j&m truck an trailer on the west side of indianapolis having the oil leaked fixed and tires all fixed and rotors and lights by [xxx] a couple months prior. I had my little girl in the back seat as well where sheriff hit and ran. I uploaded a before and after picture. VIN#[xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

I was driving down the interstate, going around a curve, the wheel stabilizer turned on for no reason. I could not regain control of the car. The wheels locked up and I got slammed into two concrete walls and a diesel truck as a result. None of the airbags deployed.

When going to accelerate or change gears (park to reverse) the car jerks. When driving in city and I break then take off, the car engine rev's like the gear has slipped . .

My Maxima has been jerking and hesitating at low speeds. It is only when the car has been running for a bit and is warmed up. A few times it has slammed into gear so hard I thought I had been rear ended. It is so bad that I have to drive with my hazard light on. I'm afraid for my life and other drivers on the road. This problem shouldn't be taken lightly and I believe nissian should be held accountable.

I was driving on the interstate and I was going about 60mph then all of a suddon the car stalls out I have no control over the vehicle I come within seconds of being reended I'm in the middle lane so I have to figure out how to merge over but guess what I can't because the car is stalled out so I put caution lights on and it takes about twins before the car will even start back up and when it does its geared up to what sounds like a fith gear and it barley takes off I'm talking my foot to the floor and it's taking off at 2mph come on now, so call for help get my car towed check engine light said it was crankshaft position sensor had it replaced check engine light went off came and picked up my car had to drive that day 45mins from where I lived and about e0mins into the trip bam it stalls again at 60mph same senary after the car cools down it starts back up just fine but after 30mins of a constant drive it stalls out and I'm stuck in 5th gear . . . . Please help.

Car does not start. Difficult time getting into the car while using my key fob. When I push the ignition button there is no nose and no lights. Tried jumping the car for 15 minutes with no success. I was told by the Nissan dealership mechanic that it is the steering lock system. This is going to cost me for towing and labor and parts. Money I do not have. Reading up on this problem tells me that there should have been a recall.

The electronic steering wheel lock on the vehicle has malfunctioned and will not allow the steering wheel to lock. This ultimately prevents the car from starting do to the push to start feature. Nissan released a warranty extension for the 2009 model Maxima which is identical to 2010 model that I have, but the replacement part for my vehicle is not covered under the warranty. Please investigate this issue because there are almost 100 similar complaints listed on NHTSA website.
