My wife and i purchased a 2007 nissan maxima from b.m.w auto dallas llc. the vehicle was advertised as having 137,000 miles. despite other issues with the car, the deciding factor for the purchase was the low miles. after purchase, our mechanic discovered what he described as "shady business" under the hood and recommended we check the vin through carfax, autocheck, etc. we purchased an autocheck vehicle report and discovered the odometer was rolled back. from 166k in 2016 to 112k in 1018. the dealer did not disclose information that would have impacted price, at a minimum and our overall buying decision. the mileage fraud also impacts the future selling price of the vehicle.
I have had my 2017 maxima into the dealership ( tim dahle in salt lake city ut) on 10-22 2019 for an anti-freeze problem. the anti-freeze is being used but not leaking anywhere. they replaced the radiator cap and did not see any noticeable leaks , topped off the cooling system and said could not find the problem, said it was normal for the holding tank on the side to be low. i disagreed and thought it was an internal problem with the engine, they said could see no problem. a month later i have no anti-freeze in my reserve tank after driving only about 50 miles around town. when i first bought the car new i noticed it was low on anti-freeze, a year ago i took it in for an oil change they topped off anti-freeze and it has been leaking from the day i bought it, they say that is normal and i disagree. my warranty is up in june of 2020.
Transmission failed prior to first service requirements, cvt transmission. warranty extended but not for current year. only year prior. also vtc retartder kit recalled for 2009-2013, not for 2014. same problems are happening but not being covered under recall. took to dealer and was told it is not covered even if the problem was a recall for the year before.
The vehicle has twice lost power and engine died while moving down the street. the check engine light was on after this incident and showed code p0345: camshaft position sensor a (bank 2). this vehicle does not show up on the r3022 crankshaft/camshaft sensor recall. however, the vehicle was manufactured 06/2002 and the recall dates include from 02/2001 to 07/2002. this vehicle has 91,694 miles on it and thus should not be exhibiting this problem from normal wear and tear. this is a very serious problem and could cause a crash in the future.
My car caught fire due to electrical in the engine the whole front of my car is burned me and my family was asleep the neighbor came and knocked on the window and said my car was on fire i called the fire department they put the fire out and i asked how was the fire started the firemen told me the fire started from the engine
It started with the car not going over 40 mph the first few minutes of driving and then it would be ok. i didn't get check engine light or any warning signs, so i drove it like that for 5 months until the car stopped accelerating, and it won't go over 20 mph. still no check engine light. i took it to the dealer and was told the engine timing chain was out along with the transmission. the repair cost was over $8000. a 12 year-old car with 114,000 miles is headed to the junk yard. i was the first and only owner of the car and took really good care of it but sad to see it go so soon.
Vehicle was in motion and all of a sudden gears started to shift on its own , so stopped on the side of the highway and turned off my engine then i turned it back on after about 15 minutes and it was driving well until after about 10 minutes of driving the gears wouldn't go past 2nd gear
Tl* the contact owns a 2002 nissan maxima. while driving low speeds, the vehicle stalled. the contact pulled over and restarted the vehicle. there were no warning indicators illuminated. the failure occurred intermittently. the dealer was not contacted. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 125,000.
The timing chain tensioners prematurely wear, causing a whining noise as the chain rubs against the tensioner while the vehicle is turned on. this wear eventually grinds through the tensioner resulting in complete engine failure which can lead to a crash or injury. this began to happen for me just outside of the manufacturer warranty, and is a costly repair for a part of the engine that should not have to be maintained within the engines expected lifetime.
