“I brought my 2006 Maxima new and had all kind of problems with the car at the very beginning. Everything was under warranty, but when my car had about 62000 miles the car started slipping and missing gears so I took it back to the dealership and they told me that my transmission wasn't cover under the power train because there were 2 types of transmission put into the Maxima and the one that my car had was not cover under the power train. I called Nissan corporate offices and didn't get any satisfaction. I had to replace the trans and many other things on this car. …”
NHTSA complaint #10918966, filed 2016-10, 62,000 miles“My brakes dont work unless my 3 dashboard lights come on. Slip, tcs and abs. Sometimes I forget and drive off. When I brake at the light you could here the wires buzzing as if there was a short circuit. Finally on my passenger side in the 'back, the tire was wiggling and noticed some lugs were missing plus the hubs lugs were loose. I haven' t taken to go get it inspected because I dont have money at the moment.”
NHTSA complaint #11518387, filed 2023-04“The contact stated while attempting to brake at 20 MPH, the vehicle swerves to the left and right. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection. The dealer stated this was normal for a vehicle with 18 inch tires. The dealership told the consumer the reason he experienced the jerking of the vehicle was because the vehicle has 18 inch wheels and the wheels want to follow the road irregularities. Updated 04/06/06”
NHTSA complaint #10152737, filed 2006-03, 1 miles“The contact owns a 2006 Nissan Maxima. While driving approximately 55 MPH, the contact felt an abnormal vibration in the steering wheel. In addition, when driving over uneven road surfaces, the front end of the vehicle would shake excessively. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for a tire rotation and balancing. The technicians stated that the service could not be performed because all four wheels were abnormally bent. The contact was advised to purchase four new wheels. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 18,000.”
