2007 Nissan Maxima owner complaints

I thought a leaf was hanging from below my car when parked. It turned out that the floorboard is completely corroded through to the inside of the vehicle on the drivers side. I have taken my car to the Nissan dealership since purchased in late 2006. They explained that it would cost between $2,000 to $3,000 to get repaired. I have only had the car for 9 years and much of this time it parked in the garage during the winter. I was sure damage was not a expected deterioration based on normal use. This was confirmed later by researching on line and seeing other complaints.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 Nissan maxima. While replacing the front driver side tire due to a flat, the road side assistance technician informed the contact that the entire floorboard was corroded. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing where the technician advised that the floorboard would have to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 116,000. Updated 01/18/2012*lj updated 02/03/12

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 Nissan maxima. While the vehicle was at the mechanic, the technician diagnosed that the floor pan needed to be replaced due to corrosion. The failure happened without warning. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was 200,000.

The driver side floorboard has began to rust thru as a result of a hole left during manufacturing. This seems to be a defect (since it is not on the passenger side). As a result of the hole water and salt have began to rust through the driver side floorboard. My vehicle was taken to a dealer whom took pictures and sent to Nissan. Nissan's response was the vehicle is out of warranty and it is a result of being in an area hat uses salt during winter. Fortunately it looks like the rust was detected before it reached the driver side seat which would cause a safety issue (especially during an accident). One does not expect a floorboard to rust thru on a seven year old vehicle with low mileage. *tr

The floor pans are starting to rot out on my Nissan maxima. This is clearly a manufacturing defect as there are numerous other owners reporting the exact same issue with their Nissan maximas. A safety recall should be implemented to replace the floor pans in these cars. There is absolutely no reason why a 7 year old car should be rotting to this extent.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 Nissan maxima. The contact stated that one of the bolts that held the drivers seat corroded. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who decided to put a piece of sheet metal where the rust was located as a temporary remedy. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure who did not offer any assistance since the vehicle was not included on any recalls and advised the contact to reach out to NHTSA. The failure and current mileage was 90,000.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 Nissan maxima. The contact stated that there was corrosion present and a hole located on the driver side floorboard. The vehicle had been taken to dealer for a diagnosis and stated they would have to eject the driver's seat from the vehicle, weld new medal to cover the hole and put an under coating on the weld new medal. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 74,000.

Crashed into guard rail and air bag did not deploy. *tr

I started my car up on 12/11/2019 and my airbag light came on and has been flashing since with no accident. I'm afraid my airbag will deploy while driving down the road.

2007 Nissan maxima. Consumer wanted to know if his vehicle has faulty air bags. *ta

Airbag warning light won't turn off. I'm worried it will spontaneously deploy at anytime. It is the opinion of various car wash establishments that roof and hood paint is a common defect on Nissan vehicles, including Mini-vans. My car's hood and roof look like I've lived by the sea for years. Truth is that I've always lived inland. There's no reason why my car should look 20 years old! *tr

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. The technician ran a diagnostic test and the same codes from the prior weeks visit came up. They said they would need to keep my car for extensive work. However, they could not start this process until wednesday octob

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 Nissan maxima. The contact heard an abnormal noise coming from the vehicle. An independent mechanic diagnosed that the timing chain needed to be replaced. A dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 116,000.

Took my 07 maxima with 73k miles to a Nissan dealer for a whining noise I thought was the transmission which is under mfg. Warranty. Was told the noise is from the timing chain guides. A repair of almost $2000.00. Now I find that there is a tsb on this from years ago. I've had this car since 2009, Nissan should have notified owners since this defect left not repaired could cause the motor to cut out at any time. It also will destroy the motor since it"s not a clearance engine. I have maintained this vehicle to the letter. Nissan is know for this engine and the reason I buy them is they use timing chains not belts.

When driving h the vehicle had a loss of power when there was a hill and the temperature outside was less than 35 degrees fahrenheit. This has happened multiple times and has been to a Nissan mechanic and was told they could not duplicate the problem. The rpms on the vehicle will bounce between 2000 to 4000 RPM or more but the vehicle will still not accelerate any further. This is very dangerous on the road. The problem is recurring and has not been fixed. The Nissan mechanic said they couldn't do anything until there was a code sensor to look at. We were also informed to buy new tires with the thinking that might be the problem. *tr

Car jerks transmission slips, it happens all the time... Except at speeds 55 or higher. Nissan would not fix the car.. I just missed the extended warranty mileage and they will not stand by the product. *tr

I am not sure if the problem really exist. The resulting diagnosis is based on a faint whine detected by the technician (while stationary) and a definite determination can only be made by a physical examination of the timing guide. To do this would require removing parts. But when those parts are removed the guide and chain will need replacing even if they are not defective. Nissan has known about the problem dating back to the 2004 model and no definitive diagnostic method is available that will not cost the owner a repair that is some times unnecessary.
