 I have a 2005 nissan titan. on thanksgiving evening my family and i were driving home on a major highway when all of a sudden i heard a clunk and lost acceleration. i was in the middle of the highway and had to cross 3 lanes to try and get over to the shoulder. we nearly got hit by many passing cars due to the immediate loss of power and slowing of my truck. after finally towing the truck to the shop i found out that, for the second time, the rear differential went out. the first time was at 75000 miles and the second at 125000 miles. both times i am stuck footing the bill. needless to say my only mode of transportation is still sitting broken until i am able to pay the 3500 dollars to get it fixed. *tr

 On tuesday, august 2, 2011, i was driving on a major expressway. while trying to exit from the expressway, the steering wheel on my 2009 nissan murano locked, making it impossible for me to turn it. i was almost hit by an 18-wheel semi-trailer truck. the incident resulted in black skid/tire marks on the side of the road by my car and the truck that was trying to avoid from hitting me. nissan's contracted towing service had to tow my vehicle into nissan's shop since the vehicle could not be driven safely after the incident. on august 3, the service advisor called to say that the problem with the steering wheel had been fixed. he indicated that the steering wheel would not turn because of a faulty serpentine belt. he said the serpentine belt was replaced, that they had test drove the vehicle before its release to me, and that the vehicle was now safe to drive. it should be noted that my nissan had previously been in nissan's shop barely a week before the august 2nd incident, on july 21st, for other defect issues which were covered by warranty. when the car was in the shop for the july repairs, the service representatives had indicated that they had done a full inspection of the vehicle. what is interesting to me is that during the full inspection, nissan did not discover anything wrong with the serpentine belt then. if the belt were wearing away, nissan should have been able to discover and disclose the wear and tear during the full inspection in late july. even after the serpentine belt was replaced on august 3, 2011, the steering wheel is still difficult to steer. i'm not sure whether this is a manufacturing/design defect, but i think this should be looked into carefully since this is obviously a serious safety issue. if a driver is slowing down to get ready to turn but suddenly cannot turn because of a problem with the steering wheel, another vehicle traveling behind could easily hit the driver in front. this could result in a tragic accident.

 2005 nissan murano door locks fail to lock and unlock. i have a 2005 murano and the door locks recently have stopped working. the lock will not lock or unloack with the remote or with the door lock button on driver or passanger door. this is even a bigger problem having a 2 year old in the vehicle and the only way to unlock the door is manually. since there is no key hole on the rear doors you have to climb through the vehicle to lock the door. i can't even lock the door if she manually moves the lock with her hand i can't lock it from the driver side control. the problem started with the driver lock, then progressed to the rear right door, now three of the 4 doors are affected and also the rear hatch. it is not an option to open if you can't use the unlock button. there is no maunal release button to unlock the hatch. this can a public problem for ever attempting to get a child out of a car in the case of any emergency.

 The nissan titan 2007 has a front end brake problem . they wear out to the point that when you press the brake the front brakes chatter and it feel like you are going over rumble strips. they have been replaced by nissan three times in 32000 miles . they tried to charge us all three times but after threating to call a tv station they relented and replaced them. a mechanic who felt sorry for us said this was a massive problem aand nissan has not issued any orders to dealers. he indicated that the entire brake set up are to small for the very large titan truck. a look on the internet under complaintsnwill bear out the size of the problem. help help help

 Td insurance company has an written estimate for the use of used airbags in repair of a consumers car. the insurance company is td insurance from canada. this insurance company has a complete disregard for their customers safety. there is no certifiable evidence demonstrating that salvaged air bags will work properly in a real world crash. the precise history of any salvaged part, including salvaged airbags, is suspect at best. any number of factors can compromise the quality of an airbag after a vehicle is salvaged. salvaged air bags are subject to exposure in uncontrolled salvage yard environmental conditions. airbags may have been exposed to harmful environmental conditions such as flood damage, unknown heat or humidity prior to salvage. there are no trusted procedures for testing and inspecting salvaged airbags to validate the operability or structural integrity of the unit. quote from a asa press release; odi officials recommended that independent repairers should contact the agency when they observe occurrences of used or salvage airbags being used in vehicle repair. they also suggested that repairers contact them when they observe trends in repairing the same vehicle model with the same repair concerns. odi can be reached at www.odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/problems/recalls/recallsearch.cfm. *tr

 I leased a 2005 nissan maxima and fell in love with the car so much that i purchased the car when the lease was up. shortly thereafter, i began smelling burned oil. i also noticed the car began to jerk really hard going from park to drive and going from drive to reverse. i took it to the dealership and they informed me that the transmission was going bad and they were going to replace it. the car had approximately 44k miles on it at this point. the dealership replaced the transmission with a remanufactured one. the car was fined but seemed not to have the same power. anyhow, three months in to having the remanufactured transmission i noticed the car would not go into the driving gear. the car would only move in reverse. the car only has 46,524 miles on it. *tw

 My 1996 nissan maxima caught on fire by itself in the midnight, and it was almost completely destroyed by the fire. i received the vehicle from my friend as a gift, which was in a very good condition. and i also paid the buckner's auto service center at knoxville, tn for checking the car in detail and getting it repaired. but 8 days after, the car was on fire. during the 8 days, the car was parked in the parking lot in front of my apartment, and nobody ever touched the car. it's cloudy or rainy in all these days. though fortunately my wife and i were safe, we were really scared and my wife was afraid of vehicles from then on. we have arrived at the u.s less than 2 months, and this incident almost completely disrupted our lives. the following is the description from the knoxville police department crime report: the vehicle had not been driven for eight days. interviewed car owner, who states he has been in the us for about one month, and had received the vehicle as a gift from a friend. he said that he had taken the car for repairs and to be serviced at buchners auto repair on 9/8/2009 and had an invoice of the work performed. he said that the car had not been driven since then because he was still in the process of obtaining his driver license. there was only an 8 mile difference the invoice mileage and the cars odometer reading. investigation of the vehicle revealed an engine compartment fire. the car was locked and hood was secure when eng 12 arrived. then had to force the hood since the cable did not function due to fire damage. areas of high heat were indicated on the hood over the battery and fuel/air intake locations. also of note was that the cooling fans were destroyed and one had fallen to the ground. this fire is considered to accidental and the cause to be a mechanical or electrical malfunction. the owner does not have insurance on the vehicle. suggested that the owner take photos and contact buchners to check for any recalls or to's for this vehicle. *tr

 My van had the red key warning light go on and smelled like electrical burning. i had it towed immediately to a nissan dealer kelly nissan lynnfield ma. they did check the bulletins until after test driving it twice and burning out the ignition coils they just replaced and burned out my catalytic converter (they put a new one on without reporting it) they were advised in writing not to do any work except replace the coils they said they burned out and only then at no cost to me. they replaced more than what was originally written, charged me and when they test drove it and ruined the converter it sucked up debris into the engine and destroyed my engine. called corporate nissan who said they could not help ( after they gave a 300.00 coupon because of the deception prior to finding out about the damaged engine). it all started from a loose ground wire that caused the coils to overwork and burned out. i ended up paying about $900 for repairs because the misdiagnosed and damaged parts, now the engine is estimated at 6800. to replace. i m disabled and barely able to afford the roof over my head and food. this is unacceptable behavior, niss says the dealers are independantly owned, yet they l have the same maker. i kept the coils they put in however they removed a box with the first replaced ones and did to put them all back for me as instructed. i have two technicians one a nissan tech who says it is directly due to kelly nissan's misdiagnosis and driving of the car to the point of burning up the parts. what does a consumer need to do to protect themselves? the car is out of warranty. all parts except the converter they also kept and the initial coils i have. the van was towed to the shop i used and engine light came on immediately from first time driven still in dealer lot, they could to find problem although heard sound from engine and read the misfire codes until second look after it started pouring smoke out the exhaust and sound became so bad and car was deemed unsafe to drive. *tr

 I own a 2003 nissan murano sl awd. the fuel tank shroud was installed in compliance with recall campaign 06v003000. the shroud is of such a bad design that it has broken in normal winter driving. the materials used are too weak and the design does not provide sufficient protection for the tank. overall, this design is terrible, and does not solve the requirement of protecting the fuel tank. nissan need to come up with a better design that better conforms to the profile of the fuel tank--the current design protrudes down too far and is too easily damaged. *tr

 My brakes were losing power with the brake pedal feeling 'mushy' and brake light on. the dealer, maita nissan, advised me that the spare tire, had rubbed a hole in the brake lining going to the rear brake drums. nissan did not feel that they were responsible, because the spare tire was oversized, compared to the recommended tire size (sears had installed a wrangler p26570s17 to spare tire compartment on 9/21/2004). per nissan, the recommended tire was p266565,17. fortunately, the loss of hydraulic fluid and loss of braking fluid did not lead to a crash or injury. as you might imagine, as the owner, i did not authorize sears to install the wrong size tire to my vehicle and am certain that they have no idea that the consequence of this error could lead to rubbing a hole in the braking system 4 years later. i requested that the dealer notify nissan of the incident, and was told that this was not a warranty issue and have no knowledge that other nissan xterra se owners will benefit from my experience (the se series came from the factory with a 17 inch custom tire and rim which is a set-up for this type of error and sentinel event). *tr

 I own a 1994 nissan altima. in december 2006, the driver's side sunvisor malfunctioned and dropped down blocking the driver's view of the road. fortunately, this did not cause an accident. on dec 21, 2006, the malfunctioning sunvisor was replaced at the owners expense ($113.65). around august 2008, the replacement sunvisor fell out of it's holder and bracket into the driver's lap while driving. the owner fixed it so it would not fall out again. however, in oct 2008, the replacement sunvisor would no longer stay up. again it swung down into the view of the driver while driving. again, it was fortunate that this did not cause an accident. this is definitely a safety issue and based on on-line posts it is a common theme among nissan vehicles. i contacted the local nissan service department for a replacement and they would not replace it or give me a discount since it was purchased over 12 months ago. next week, i will file a complaint with nissan corporate offices. however, based on their lack of response to other issues with this vehicle, i do not expect them to resolve it to my satisfaction. *tr

 This complaint has to do with the failure of the oil stick for the 2001 nissan sentra. i have owned the car for less than four years and have had two different oil sticks break in that time. the first time the oil stick was broken it was easily removed from the stem it rests in. on the latest break it has become lodged inside the stem. from what i can gather the standard fee most mechanics and dealerships range from $120.00 to $300.00 for the removal of the oil stick. the problem with the design of the stick is that it has a completely plastic handle that extends for a ways before joining with the metal stick. on both occasions the stick breaks well above where it joins with the metal component therefore making it impossible to remove with a magnet. this same problem has been documented numerous times online and i see it as a problem that nissan continues to sell this oil stick. from one online forum alone i came across over 60 reports of this happening with a nissan oil stick and almost all of them referred to either a 2000 or 2001 sentra. *tr

 This car has a serious safety flaw in that it hesitates from an idling stop. when you press on the gas while sitting with the engine idling the car will just sit there and then lurch forward suddenly. i first had this problem with the vehicle in 2005 or thereabouts, took it to the dealer (wilde nissan waukesha wi) who contended they could find nothing wrong with the car. this was/is a very intermittent problem which comes and goes without warning, you never know when it will happen. i subsequently took the vehicle back to the dealer several times and got the same story. eventually the dealership changed hands and the new owner (boucher nissan waukesha wi, same address and location as original dealership) was diligent about researching and finding the problem. it was diagnosed as a valve body problem by the boucher folks. nissan refused to honor repair claims and costs which were estimated to be around $1500 because the vehicle was out of warranty at the time boucher identified the defective condition. i firmly believe that nissan should have honored repair costs as this is a serious safety flaw in this vehicle which could result in a crash or serious injury if not death of driver. nissan has taken a very negligent and non caring consumer response position on this matter. the nhtsa should take nissan to task to repair this serious safety defect in this vehicle before someone is seriously injured or killed because of the defective condition. *tr

(had to replace all six) cost $1000. to this point the car still remains in the shop due to ignition coil. finally, the rotor went bad which had to be replaced for the amt $380. i have done some research on this vehicle where there have been numerous complaints. i highly believe that an investigation should be place to get this on the recall list. *tr

 2007 nissan maxima abs activates with normal braking. there was a service bulletin ntb07-016b for this problem which is clearly a design defect from nissan. as i was driving and catching speed i noticed my car slipped into a lower gear i would hear abs engaging and if i steped on the brake pedal abs would be activated. took it to the dealer even though i have no warranty they told me it would cost me $1,200 to replace the bearings and the sensors as they were corroded due to water and dirt trapped where the sensors rest. the service bulletin clearly states that a piece has to be grinded off on knuckle in order to allow proper drainage of water and dirt. this is a safety concern and a very expensive repair to be done coming out of consumers pockets due to the obvious design defect from nissan. they should be held responsible for this ongoing defect and a recall should be mandated to correct this potential hazard while driving.

 My 2004 nissan altima is stalling at red lights and while i am driving. this could cause and accident since it happens without warning. i have taken the car in to the nissan dealership numerous times for repair. this problem did not occur with my car until the recall work for the ecm reprogramming was done. but, it has been happening since then. sometimes multiple times per week. i have paid to have the problem correct more than once, and nothing that has been done has stopped this problem. this is definitely a safety hazard.

 Td insurance company has an written estimate for the use of used airbags in repair of a consumers car. the insurance company is td insurance from canada. this insurance company has a complete disregard for their customers safety. there is no certifiable evidence demonstrating that salvaged air bags will work properly in a real world crash. the precise history of any salvaged part, including salvaged airbags, is suspect at best. any number of factors can compromise the quality of an airbag after a vehicle is salvaged. salvaged air bags are subject to exposure in uncontrolled salvage yard environmental conditions. airbags may have been exposed to harmful environmental conditions such as flood damage, unknown heat or humidity prior to salvage. there are no trusted procedures for testing and inspecting salvaged airbags to validate the operability or structural integrity of the unit. quote from a asa press release; odi officials recommended that independent repairers should contact the agency when they observe occurrences of used or salvage airbags being used in vehicle repair. they also suggested that repairers contact them when they observe trends in repairing the same vehicle model with the same repair concerns. odi can be reached at www.odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/problems/recalls/recallsearch.cfm. *tr

 While driving at 65 mph in morning rush traffic my vehicles engine went to idle creating a very dangerous condition since i was in the center lane with cars and trucks on all sides. after getting off the highway the car quit and would not restart. the vehicle was towed to my dealer and the alternator was found to be bad. this alternator was replaced in a safety recall in 2006. the mileage at the time of recall was 19965 the mileage on 10/29/09 was 48723. the alternator that the dealer put on for the recall (p5215) was a rebuilt. i bought this car new and think it should have been a new alternator. *tr

 My van had the red key warning light go on and smelled like electrical burning. i had it towed immediately to a nissan dealer kelly nissan lynnfield ma. they did check the bulletins until after test driving it twice and burning out the ignition coils they just replaced and burned out my catalytic converter (they put a new one on without reporting it) they were advised in writing not to do any work except replace the coils they said they burned out and only then at no cost to me. they replaced more than what was originally written, charged me and when they test drove it and ruined the converter it sucked up debris into the engine and destroyed my engine. called corporate nissan who said they could not help ( after they gave a 300.00 coupon because of the deception prior to finding out about the damaged engine). it all started from a loose ground wire that caused the coils to overwork and burned out. i ended up paying about $900 for repairs because the misdiagnosed and damaged parts, now the engine is estimated at 6800. to replace. i m disabled and barely able to afford the roof over my head and food. this is unacceptable behavior, niss says the dealers are independantly owned, yet they l have the same maker. i kept the coils they put in however they removed a box with the first replaced ones and did to put them all back for me as instructed. i have two technicians one a nissan tech who says it is directly due to kelly nissan's misdiagnosis and driving of the car to the point of burning up the parts. what does a consumer need to do to protect themselves? the car is out of warranty. all parts except the converter they also kept and the initial coils i have. the van was towed to the shop i used and engine light came on immediately from first time driven still in dealer lot, they could to find problem although heard sound from engine and read the misfire codes until second look after it started pouring smoke out the exhaust and sound became so bad and car was deemed unsafe to drive. *tr

 I have a check engine light that codes to a cam position sensor problem. i was going to have my regular mechanic repair it, but then i was told that there was a previous recall on this part. i called nissan and they said to take it to a certified nissan dealer and verify it was a cam position sensor code. the dealer verified it was.the dealer said their records showed that part had been replaced once before, but nissan said the repair would be taken care of. when i brought the car in for the repair, the dealer called me later to say he couldn't repair the part because the problem was the connector not the sensor. the cost just happened to be the same price as the cam position sensor. ($260.00) i found that to be a very coincidental. l told them not to replace the connector and i would like to research the cost of the connector to make sure they weren't pulling the wool over my eyes. to date the repair hasn't been made. is there a danger to my wife if she drives this vehicle? i'd like nissan to pay for the cost of the connector. my case file with nissan is # 6381655. the representative i spoke with was marcus. his extension at nissan's 800 phone number is # 41490. are there any other complaints about this part going out twice? i'd appreciate any help you can give me. *tr greg thompson

 First day for pick up, headlight pop, fix it the next day, took 90 minutes just to fix one headlight, after 6 weeks, car turns off when driving one of the most busiest hwy and the steering locks; only way to start it is by putting it to park hold brakes down all the way then push the button and coming from that, it was not safe at all, drivers were honking and swerving just to maneuver away from me, called dealership to where i purchase car to fix the problem, told them that the car had turned off 4 times on the same hwy and thank god it turned off on a straight away not while turning, showed them a video in which i intend to hold for evidence. drop it off 7:00am, dealership had said about codes; there was nothing wrong with the car and had replug every plug that was on the car in which it would be reset, gave car back within 9 hours saying the car will not turn off again and if it happens again bring it back. after a week and a half, the car had turned off plus with the gauges(not knowing the speed i was going) and radio display went out and this is when it was raining hectic and i wasn't able to use high beams automatically to where it locks forward but to pull it towards me manually while driving. already told dealership that this car is a big concern on the road for safety because when it turns off i become a crashing incident in which if that happens i will blame nissan for that. *tr

 2002 nissan altima catalytic converter failures that are increasing according to reports widely publicized on the internet. there is a recall in canada for the problem, but not in us. in speaking with a representative from nissan consumer affairs, i have been advised that the reason for the recall being recognized in canada but not in the u.s. is due to the factory in which vehicles were produced. seems to me this reason is ridiculous if this problem is happening in the u.s. too! see info below: transport canada recall number 2003060. units affected: 30589. 2002-2003: on certain vehicles equipped with the 2.5 liter engine, the exhaust pipe hanger pin may catch debris from the road which could be ignited by contact with the main catalyst. correction: dealer will remove the protruding portion of the exhaust pipe hanger pin. also, certain operating conditions may cause the pre-catalyst to overheat and damage the catalyst substrate. if substrate particles enter the combustion chamber, they may score the cylinder walls, resulting in increased oil consumption. correction: dealer will reprogram the engine control unit to prevent the possibility of the pre-catalyst overheating. if the conversion efficiency of the pre-catalyst has deteriorated, then the catalyst will be replaced. the original pre-catalyst will then be inspected for evidence of damage to the catalyst substrate. if damage is present, the vehicle engine will be replaced. while i have been obsessive about ensuring my vehicle is serviced routinely, i have recently experienced engine failure which will result in having to replace my engine. i do not have the finances to just drop $2000 on a new engine! my case is currently in the hands of a regional specialist (file # 6149122), but i have not gotten the outcome of the review to date. i am respectfully requesting review of this problem. thank you. *tr

 On september 17, my driver's door would not open with the keyless entry or with the actual key. i called nissan of queens to state again that something fraudulent was done to my car since my initial visit on september 4. they advised me to come in to check the problem. however, past experience leads me to believe it will be to fix the door, charge me some ridiculous amount, and then create another malfunction. this new malfunction will have me coming back the next week for a repeat of this fraudulent service. my car is breaking down before my eyes and i cannot understand why nissan would let this happen to a loyal customer. as you know tampering with my car door can be harmful to my person in the following ways: 1.having a secure environment is paramount in certain neighborhoods. when locking the doors it's imperative nobody can gain access at will by walking up to the car. if anyone can simply open the door to gain access, carjacking, injury, or even murder is easier. if the doors locked properly this provides a more secure environment for this type of scenario. 2.there is a security problem with nissan locking mechanism and not recalling them for safety concern is negligent. it's an open door to a lawsuit if someone were to be murdered due to a door that didn't lock, although the driver pushed the lock button and heard the locking noise. remember, in this case there's no obvious indication the door isn't locked unless someone walks up and opens it from the outside. the drive thinks the door is locked, when in reality it's an open door for carjacking or robbery. 3.in emergencies it's important to be able to unlock doors quickly. since 99% of the time we all use the button to lock and unlock doors, using the manual locking lever is unfamiliar. the locking/unlocking solenoid malfunctioning is clearly a high risk in emergency scenarios. some people who cannot afford the $1600 to have all the solenoids replaced (as quoted by dealers). *tr

 2005 nissan titan with a known poor exhaust and emission control device leads to premature failure and requires replacement prior to or soon after warranty expires. exhaust manifolds include catalytic convertors and are mounted under stress which causes fracture and emission leaks at the maniflold, into the passenger compartment and not out of the exhaust. severely cracked manifolds can actually allow the engine to run with the tailpipe closed.

 The battery has been replaced twice in the vehicle and it has less than 35,000 miles on it. the first replacement was done when the car was only about 6 months old and i just recently had to have the battery replaced again. the second battery was supposed to be an 84,000 mile battery and was under warranty. however, when i was driving it, the car died on me and would not start again. the battery had less than 26,000 miles on it. nissan fought us on the replacement even though it was under warranty, but we finally got another one put in. we are on our 3rd battery in less than 3 years. this same vehicle had an engine mount crack at 32,000 miles and has also had the radiator replaced at 34,000 miles. it has been in the shop 4 times now in the last 2 1/2 months. when the radiator went out, the gauges did not even say that the car was running hot. i discovered the issue when my car started smoking everywhere and coolant was all over my vehicle. nissan insists that it is not an electrical issue of any kind and that the gauge can still read cool if the radiator goes out and the car is smoking. all in all, i now have the 3rd new battery, a new radiator, and a new engine mount. the drive belts have also cracked, but nissan refused to do anything about that.

 This is in regards to the exhaust manifolds. this is the second time i have had to replace them. the first time they were still under warranty. my 2004 armada was at 66k miles. the nissan deal that i took the vehicle too told me that nissan has problems with their manifolds. they corrected the issue, but almost exactly 66k miles later the manifolds have again cracked. now i am outside of warranty and required to pay for a replacement that is clearly a defect in the nissan product. manifolds should not be going bad after 66k miles.

 Hello. i recently bought a 2004 nissan titan. when having the vehicle saftied, we noticed that one of the rear axil seals on the passangers side were leaking. the seal looked to have lead a fairly large amout of oil that was saturating the rim and also soaked the emergency break on the passenger side. after looking at the car fax in noticed that this same vehicle had a rear axil seal replace in january. i cannot be certian this seal was the same seal as the one in january. the vehicle has 68000 miles on it. after doing some research on titan talk.com i noticed that this is a common problem from this truck. i am not sure if anything can be done about it but i do feel like this could turn into a safety issue considering not only that this seems to be a common problem, but that when this problem does occure, it saturates the rims, tires and breaks with oil.

 Vehicle stalling while in motion usually while slowing to stop or when accelerating after being stopped. ses light came on today when it stalled and i took it straight to dealership. they stated it was crank and cam sensors. they replaced them and charged me $260. had to have engine replaced at 19,xxx miles under a recall. car has 58,7xx miles now and this time i had to pay. go online and find in excess of 160 consumer reports of this very cam and crank problem and everyone having to pay out of pocket for it when it is clearly a defect especially being that my engine was replaced so the defect is not just in the original engines. service dept. made no mention of there being a recall to me but being that i never got the recall notice when i had to have the engine replaced at 19,xxx (and i bought my car new and remained at same residence) i decided to just check online to see if others were having cam and crank problems. comes a no surprise to see that others are having the same issues. i am mute therefore can't call you guys so i am filing my complaint online. please note that i entered phone numbers only because i could not advance without doing so. please send any and all replies via e-mail if speaking to someone who can represent me is an issue. *tr

 I purchased a 02 altima 2.5 (automatic) on thursday, july 16, 2009. on friday, july 17, i had to take it to the mechanic because it was making a terrible sound coming from the engine. upon arrival, it was found that the oil tank was bone dry. after adding 3 quarts of oil, the noise was gone. throughout that day when driving i smelt something like exhaust or burning oil or something. i just thought oil was spilled on the engine and it was simply burning off. i put approx 30 miles on the car that day. on saturday, july 18, i put approx 20 miles on the car (same smell). on sunday, i noticed smoke coming out of my muffler when i would hit the gas. it would go away when i was at a steady pace but if i put gas in it, the smoke would come out. i took the car to a friend of mine and had him check the oil. to my surprise, there was not a lick of oil left in the tank... where did it go????????? there was no sign of leaks underneath the car and no spot on my driveway. we went and purchased 3 more quarts of oil and added it to the car. when we checked the dip stick, the oil was pitch black. the car was also blowing black smoke. i am a single 27 year old mom, working and going to school. a nissan is what everyone told me to get.. why??? i have just forked out every dime i had (7800.00) in savings to purchase this car so what was i to do now? on monday, july 20, i took it back to the mechanic which then told me the engine needed to be replaced. i then took it to another mechanic which verified the same thing. after 2 weeks a 05 model engine was put in the car and i picked it up on august 7. shortly after being on the road, the check engine light came on and it was making a loud squeaky sound. after taking it back on august 18, they said it now needed a catalytic converter and they replaced a belt. on august 23, the car started going dead with no warning while driving; once i was on the interstate and thought i was going to die! it also acts as if it doesn't want to crank now. *tr

 My van had the red key warning light go on and smelled like electrical burning. i had it towed immediately to a nissan dealer kelly nissan lynnfield ma. they did check the bulletins until after test driving it twice and burning out the ignition coils they just replaced and burned out my catalytic converter (they put a new one on without reporting it) they were advised in writing not to do any work except replace the coils they said they burned out and only then at no cost to me. they replaced more than what was originally written, charged me and when they test drove it and ruined the converter it sucked up debris into the engine and destroyed my engine. called corporate nissan who said they could not help ( after they gave a 300.00 coupon because of the deception prior to finding out about the damaged engine). it all started from a loose ground wire that caused the coils to overwork and burned out. i ended up paying about $900 for repairs because the misdiagnosed and damaged parts, now the engine is estimated at 6800. to replace. i m disabled and barely able to afford the roof over my head and food. this is unacceptable behavior, niss says the dealers are independantly owned, yet they l have the same maker. i kept the coils they put in however they removed a box with the first replaced ones and did to put them all back for me as instructed. i have two technicians one a nissan tech who says it is directly due to kelly nissan's misdiagnosis and driving of the car to the point of burning up the parts. what does a consumer need to do to protect themselves? the car is out of warranty. all parts except the converter they also kept and the initial coils i have. the van was towed to the shop i used and engine light came on immediately from first time driven still in dealer lot, they could to find problem although heard sound from engine and read the misfire codes until second look after it started pouring smoke out the exhaust and sound became so bad and car was deemed unsafe to drive. *tr

 Door lock failed to perform on nissan murano 05 1. having a secure environment is paramount in certain neighborhoods. when locking the doors it's imperative nobody can gain access at will by walking up to the car. if anyone can simply open the door to gain access, carjacking, injury, or even murder is easier. if the doors locked properly this provides a more secure environment for this type of scenario. 2. nissan knowing there is a security problem with their locking mechanism and not recalling them for safety concern is negligent. it's an open door to a lawsuit if someone were to be murdered due to a door that didn't lock, although the driver pushed the lock button and heard the locking noise. remember, in this case there's no obvious indication the door isn't locked unless someone walks up and opens it from the outside. the drive thinks the door is locked, when in reality it's an open door for carjacking or robbery. this failure is an intermittent of operation. sometimes the doors lock ok, other times they don't. in addition, sometimes the doors unlock ok, other times they don't. 3. in emergencies it's important to be able to unlock doors quickly. since 99% of the time we all use the button to lock and unlock doors, using the manual locking lever is unfamiliar. and the murano's design is such that it's not easy to comprehend if it's not your car, for instance a rental car. i can easily understand how some people would be confused how unlock a door using the manual level in an emergency when they virtually have no experience with it. in emergencies every second counts. the locking/unlocking solenoid malfunctioning is clearly a high risk in emergency scenarios. some people who cannot afford the $1600 to have all the solenoids replaced (as quoted by dealers) will forgo getting them fixed, putting their family members at risk with the above mishap examples. this shouldn't be, nissan should recall them. *tr

 I have a 2008 maxima se which i purchased last year. the car continues to jerk (hard) when the car is shifting from 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd, and it also happens on the downshift from 2nd to 1st. the car was problem-free for the 1st year but for the past 3-4 months it has been a nightmare. the jerking gets so bad, it feels like you're getting punched! the problem is intermittent and rarely occurs on the highway. please let me know how i can get this defective vehicle fixed...at no cost to the owner since it's obviously a manufacture problem. i have spoke with other nissan maxima owners and have read several forums and they are experiencing the same problem! *tr

 The events leading up to the failure was squealing brakes, shaking steering wheels, loud noises on the brake, and rough ride when brakes are press slightly. car does not brake properly when pressed lightly under dry weather and tends to lock temporarily and let go during wet weather which can really lead to an accident. nissan consumer affairs was called about the problem i was informed to take my car to the dealership, which i did, dealership tells me i'm out of warranty, i called nissan consumer affairs back because this is a manufacturer defect and not something caused by me but nissan will not admit to it. *tr

 I have a 2004 nissan maxima with transmission problems. the car has 62,000 miles on and the problem is just starting to surface. i get a jerking motion when the car shifts from 1st to 2nd or it downshifts from 2nd to 1st. it jerks especially hard when making a turn and the car slows down and picks up speed again. the thing i hate the most is he problem is temperamental. it'll be fine one day and the next it jerks around like crazy. i asked a friend who also has a 2004 nissan maxima and his does the same thing. called the nissan dealership and they seem to have no solution. is there a coincidence that all of these maximas are experiencing the same exact transmission problem. there should be a recall. *tr

 I am having the same problems as indicated with other consumers. my care jerks. i have replaced the axles, air flow meter, ac line, ignition coil, spark plugs, alternator, etc. currently, the timing change and tensioner needs repairing, the axles again from the jerking. i am a single mother who can not afford all of these repairs. i do not know what else to do. i will never buy another maxima. i also have had a diagnostic and it revealed 1 problem and once fix i still continue to have more problems on top of the jerking. enough is enough. *tr

 The engine light periodically flashed on/off. we had the car serviced at a nissan dealer which cost $1000. 3 months later,we spent $300. finally,2 months later the motor goes out and we spend $5000 to replace it in a car less than 4yrs old(bought brand new -not a used vehicle). furthermore,the car would just slow down and stop periodically(no matter if you were on the interstate or not). *tr

 I ran off the left side of a mountain road hitting a large tree with the driver's door, then continued down the hill another ~20 feet slamming into a boulder. when i hit the tree, the driver's door window broke as well as the driver's side rear door. the door was jammed shut. the nissan was equipped with front side impact airbags and both front and rear head protection airbags. none were deployed. when i hit the boulder, the front passenger airbag deployed, but the driver's front airbag failed to deploy. the pre-tensioner on the driver's seatbelt did not latch resulting in me hitting my upper chest and lower jaw on the steering wheel since the airbag did not deploy. the fuel cut-off device also failed to activate and shut off the engine. after almost a minute, i turned off the engine with the key. i had been knocked unconscious for several seconds. the 2004 nissan murano sustained over $25,000 in damage which resulted in it being totaled by my insurance company. the airbag light would illuminate briefly when starting the car prior to the accident. so there was no indication of an airbag malfunction. there was substantial damage to the driver's side of the vehicle as well as the front and undercarriage. my injuries were limited to bruises to my chest and lower jaw. the accident also greatly aggravated a prior injury to my upper back. when i went to go remove my personal belongings from the vehicle, i found that the jack, mounted in the rear floor had come completely out. *tr

 The hubcaps on this car continually fall off the car. i have had the hubcaps come off the car three times in the last year. there is no service done to the car or wheels that would loosen the hubcap. i am constantly buying new hubcaps - they just loosen off the wheel base and fly off the car when driving.

 The nissan titan 2007 has a front end brake problem . they wear out to the point that when you press the brake the front brakes chatter and it feel like you are going over rumble strips. they have been replaced by nissan three times in 32000 miles . they tried to charge us all three times but after threating to call a tv station they relented and replaced them. a mechanic who felt sorry for us said this was a massive problem aand nissan has not issued any orders to dealers. he indicated that the entire brake set up are to small for the very large titan truck. a look on the internet under complaintsnwill bear out the size of the problem. help help help

 I was driving my vehicle, 2003 nissan altima, at a low speed, when for no apparent reason, the vehicle died. it was during the evening hours. i was lucky the driver behind me didn't run into me. i was able to restart the car, and drive off. the car didn't do it again, but a week later, the check engine light came on. i took the car into the dealership. they told me the cause of the problem was a crank angle sensor. it was faulty and that's why my car died, without any warning. i found out that, nissan had a recall on this item. i called nissan north america inc and spoke to a person name david. david confirmed that they did have a recall on the sensor but it was only on certain years for the altima. i told david that maybe all the altima's with this sensor should be recalled and replaced. further investigation, i found a owner notification from nissan telling me that my altima, there is a possibility that the engine might stop running while being driven due to an electrical problem between the crank angle sensor and ecm. i took it to the dealer after receiving their notice. the dealer reprogram the ecm unit, but never replaced the sensor. i told david at nissan that they should have replaced the sensor at the time when they reprogram the ecm. it was very scary when my car just died suddenly. i was very lucky i didn't get hurt. i am letting you know because i feel nissan should recall all their vehicle equip with this sensor. i was very very lucky not to have been involved in an accident. i told david at nissan that i don't feel safe driving my car anymore. *tr

 Cv valves causing engine to shut down also reported motor problems at 20,000 miles and replaced motor at 50,000 and electrical and air conditioner problems with a recall on the clutch fans and now leaking fluids and overheating occurs often and occasionally transmission has difficulty shifting into drive and while in drive unable to down shift manually the features for manual shifting are not working also gauges such as brake ,check engine,air pressure lights are always on no way to turn these warning lights off cigarette lighters have never worked and when engine is shut down and no key is in the ignition the gauges flick rapidly on the speedometer, fuel,tac odem, a loud clicking is heard for minutes sounding from the engine at the time the gauges flick, also the ex-cab doors are broken the locks was told the truck was on of the trucks bought from louisiana after hurriciane katrina and was sent form norman, okla to mcalester, okla to brad fenton motors i purchased this truck in 06 with less then 400 miles and i've had a number of problems and repairs and continue to have new problems and have yet to receive a letter from the manufacture about the electrical and fan and air conditioning recalls on the 06 nissan titans that was recalled in august 2008 this is very upsetting and a sellsman at a nissan dealership informed me about 500 titans purchased very cheap all brand new vehicles said to been sent to parts of oklahoma and these trucks were said to be fixed for water damage and any repairs needend to theses trucks these trucks were bought after being sumerged in water and minor repairs were made and then these trucks were sold as brand new without any knowledge about water damages and sold very expensive with out any discount. i am wanting to know if my titan was purchased during hurricane katrina and what dealership it was bought from originally before it was delivered to me at the time of purchase i want to know all recalls and car fax and any reports made . *tr

 While driving my 2004 2.5 litre nissan altima on highway about 60 mph i felt an abrupt jerk like noise in the transmission, almost even like a misfire of some sort. all i know is that it was odd and did not seem right. immediately following, my service engine soon light illuminated and has stayed on. while my car did not stall or immediately shut down, it was hard to crank after shutting down. i had difficulty climbing hills as the car lacked the power and difficulty shifting down. in troubleshooting this problem, i immediately checked the gas cap. this did not solve my problem. i took it into the mechanic. he has had my car for two days. he found the problem to be the crankshaft sensor and he said it was difficult to get to for repair as well as having problems removing it. i have yet to receive a bill for this repair but with the labor involved to remove this sensor, it won't be cheap. why on earth are manufacturers putting parts into places that are difficult and costly to repair. not only that, but the average joe who likes to work on his own car, can't even do this one! now, the other ludicrous problem is that nissan appears to not have included the 2004 nissan 2.5 altima in the recall campaign for this faulty sensor. that spells a class action lawsuit and complaints to my attorney general and better business bureau. there is no way, that i or anyone having bought a 2004 nissan 2.5 altima should have to bear the burden of costs involved into this ongoing issue with the crankshaft sensors. *tr

 Damp patches appeared on the original alu rim 20'. it happened app. 3 months after using my new car. i have reported this fact to service during maintenance, but i was brushed off (it was my filling). additionally the middle holes have sharp marks after rotating and balance in dealer service. i want to highlight that all works with wheels and tires have been discovered in service. i have reported this fact too, but without effect. because original surface or alu rims was so easy changed color (permanently) i assume that quality of materials used to produce this part of rims are very poor and in effect it can be reason some incidents connected with broken rims. of course my car is still in warranty and i hope that nissan will agree to change broken rims in my car asap to avoid any disasters. *tr
