“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. …”
NHTSA complaint #10204400, filed 2007-09, 2,624 miles“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. …”
NHTSA complaint #10261000, filed 2009-03, 44,000 miles“On wednesday september 19, 2007 I took my car to the dealership because the check engine light was on. As the service advisor checked me in I made him aware that my service engine light was on and my car was periodically stalling. Instead of thoroughly checking my car out, being that I explained that it wasn't running right, the advisor said there were a few transmission codes but they just reset the computer. I continue to drive my car and it still periodically stalled but on friday september 28, 2007 my car began stalling and jerking so I took it back to the dealership. …”
NHTSA complaint #10210421, filed 2007-11, 9,801 miles“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. …”
NHTSA complaint #10272875, filed 2009-06“I'm having a high pitch whine coming especially from the passenger side. The pitch gets louder with RPM changes. It's constantly there, as soon as the car is on, whether the car is idling, accelerating or decelerating. This whine comes from the speakers, because when I disconnected the oem bose amplifier, the noise was gone. I believe this is known as the alternator whine so I changed a new alternator told by the dealer, and changed to another oem bose amplifier, but the whine still remains. The high pitch noise is very annoying and causes migraines.”
