My husband & I purchased the 2007 Nissan Maxima for our daughter who is now expecting her first child. My husband borrowed her car to drive my sister husband and children back to atlanta airport mind you speed limit on i75 is 70mph, when this Maxima locked up and shut down in the middle of a 6 lane hwy. Thankfully he was able to coast across the hwy to the shoulder and the car smelled so my husband called my insurance CO. My sister ended up taking a taxi and we had to have the car towed 95 miles ($282. 00). Pye Nissan has the car in dalton and the service tech said the compressor locked up and blew all the belts due to me not having the compressor lubricated. The car warranty expired just a few months ago and Nissan said that there is nothing they can due and wants $1000. 00 to fix this. I have called another Nissan dealership and the service tech at this dealership said that he never heard of the compressor being lubricated and he has been with Nissan for 20 years. Where is justice when you purchase a $30,000. 00 car after 3 yrs a major part like this going, I just thank god it was my husband driving and not my pregnant daughter. I am very concerned about this car being unsafe now for not only my daughter but my unborn grandson. Signed chatsworth georgia.

I have had several problems with this car. . . This being the latest. Since buying this vehicle brand new I have had to have the entire dashboard replaced because it warped, the radio replaced, the chrome rails on top of the car replaced and now I took my vehicle in for service because I was hearing a "chirping" noise. I then got a call back and was told that the compressor had gone bad. But it gets better as right after that I was told that Nissan got a bad batch of compressors and they can't get a new one for me. But it still gets better. . . I was then told that if I don't replace the compressor (at a cost of over 1k) then it will fail and damage the belts, which will cause the power steering to fail as well as damaging the condenser. So I need a part that Nissan says is defective so they don't have anymore of them and are waiting on a new supplier, but in addition to that if I don't get this part it will cause additional damage to the car.

Took my car in for a oil change and after the oil change and the change of belts my car started making a noise when the heat or air was turned on. 2 months later when I turned on my air condition no air was coming through. Took it back to the Nissan dealership and they told me that my air pressure pump had a leak in it. I could not believe that with a 2007 car that I would have had this problem this soon!!! nothing was done to repair my car. I over heard the two service guys say that "OH ya, that's going to take a paycheck". Not knowing that I was still listening. I feel that they did not care about me or what was going on with my car all they wanted was for me to pay for the repairs. I told them that my husband was deployed and had two small children that had asthma and the heat would trigger their asthma and on this day it was already 78 degrees. I would never use this dealership again!!!! if I have to I will take my car to another Nissan dealership outside of savannah.

9/02 - within a 90 mile drive:tachometer, speedometer and temperature gauge shut off while I was driving at high speeds. Air bag light was also flashing. Then they would either turn back on by themselves or while I was standing still the speedometer would be stuck at 100mph. Further into the drive engine would shut off by itself losing brakes and power steering driving at speeds 0-40mph. First we repaced the battery then took it to Nissan where they found "internal failure dash circuit board" which was replaced along with the left side seat air bag harness. 1/03 - battery and brake lights came on. The car began sputtering and every other warning light was lit. Then the car would drive fine and did not shut off. The alternator was replaced this time. 7/6/03 - speedometer,tachometer and odometer shut off for entire 2 1/2 hour trip. Today 7/7 everything is fine (so far).
