| We owned the car for less than one month and the service engine light comes on. took it to the dealer and was informed that it was because the gas cap wasn't fully closed and we would be charged $100 to turn off the service light. not only that but we were chastised because we didn't notice the warning on the gas cap that this would happen. this is unacceptable because not fully closing or leaving the gas cap off is a common mistake that any vehicle owner makes at least once. at least the service light should go off once you tighten the gas cap. we shouldn't have to go to the dealer and pay to have the light turned off. this is a safety issue because we won't go to the dealer for this type of fix again. what if there is a more serious problem and we are riding around with the service light on, thinking it is just the gas cap? *jb updated 01-16-08. *kb | |||

| I have a 2007 nissan maxima and my car shot out of a car wash and across 4 lanes of traffic and crashed into federal property. after the car was pushed from the dry option i put my foot on the brake took the car out of neutral, put it into drive and the car took off like a rocket. i had both feet on the brakes and had to use two hands to steer the car away from traffic. i had the choice of a light pole or a fence on federal property. i decided on the fence to be the least damaging. my grandson was in the car and it all happened within two minutes. i made eye contract with drivers to my left and right and honked my horn and everyone around saw i was having a problem and they stopped. i had no brakes and i reported this to nissan and that was over two months ago and they are looking into this but i have not had a definite answer from them. i told them i need something to be done and that i feel i am driving an unsafe vehicle. they sent a contractor out twice to check it all out. the second time was for a test drive and checking the electrical system. something failed in this car and i have only this car to drive to work. i do not feel safe, i want a fix. no one has said that it can or should be fixed. the dealership is not helping me at all. *tr | |||
