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. *tr
When the car is in drive sometimes it will not go and will idle. nissan keeps saying that they cant figure out what it is. they keep putting us back in the car. *tr
While doing normal driving, on two occasions, one coming down a slight hill and planning to stop at a corner, and once when pulling into my carport, with foot lightly on the brake, i noticed the engine racing at 2000 rpm or so, trying to accelerate. was able to hold car with footbrake, and, after stopping, problem did not seem to repeat immediately. *tr
