February 2009 I purchase a 2009 nissan maxima VIN#1n4aa51e29c....... There have been minor issues that I have dealt with. Let me explain, first the motors that move the steering column up/down (warranty covered) and in/out (a $600 estimate) both have gone out. Secondly, the left front tire pressure sensor ($186) was found to be faulty on february 20, 2015 with mileage of 47,859. Thirdly, the front left strut ($142) had to be replaced and both front strut mounts have been replaced ($176), which is a recall for some vehicles but not mine. I'm confused by this but let's move on the biggest problem I'm having with nissan. Today the only recall on my 09 maxima has been the escl, which was replaced on july 21, 2017 with 73,429 miles of the car. I immediately noticed a different sound when starting the car. I was told there was nothing they could do about the sound, so I drove the car home. Shortly after, the airbag light on the dashboard started blinking and the passenger airbag indicator came on. On february 19, 2018, my car was taken to a local nissan dealership to get the airbag system fixed with 76,443 miles on the car. The service department ran a diagnostic report ($95) finding code dct b1018 as a problem. They reported their findings to me and gave an estimate of the repairs to be between $2,000 and $4,000, a big difference. I talked with the service department about what had to be done to fix the airbag system, how much time the repairs would take, why such a wide spread in the financial estimate and what may have caused this problem. I learned a lot from this conversation. The biggest surprise was learning that nissan changed how their airbag system sensors worked from always on to off until a seat was occupied. I would feel more like a valued customer when nissan pays 100% of a problem that has been caused by 'no fault' of the consumer.

My airbag light stays on when I'm driving and I'm sure it is faulty. Also the light indicator for my tire pressure stays on even though I've put adequate air in the tire. This occurs while the car is motion and when it is not in motion.

Air bag warning light came on. I took same to nissan dealership service center and had a diagnostic test done on it which cost me $98.00 and the advised me that the air bag spring is weak, air bag has never been deploy and then the tell me if in an accident it may/may not deploy. (also if hit a hard enough bump it may cause it to) this has to be a defect why would a steering wheel air bag spring just go weak and there is not wear and tear to it. This sounds like a defect to me. I have known a guy that had to replace his. So I am probably not the only one with this problem going on. When this happen I checked for recalls by it stated none had been reported.

Takata recall - the airbag light is on and per the dealer the spiral cable and clock spring needs to be replaced. They explained that the part is what's needed for the airbag to return back once deployed. They informed me the airbag will deploy if in an accident, but it won't return like it was originally designed to do. The vehicle has never been in an accident; therefore, the airbag hasn't been deployed.

The driver side airbag has malfunction with the light constantly flashing. Took vehicle to nissan dealers to diagnose what is causing the problem with airbag light constantly flashing and was told they do not know, but if I get involve in an accident the airbag probably will not inflate. They print out several steps nissan north america recommends to fix the problem which would cost me thousands of dollars. My seat-belts are powertrain until 2018. This makes no since that my driver side airbag all of a sudden stop working even though I have had no accidents involving my car therefore, nissan should voluntarily fix the problem before I am involved in an accident and my airbag does not inflate which could lead to deadly consequences. I want the fhta to contact nissan and have them to work to resolve this issue before it leaves to something seriously. Nissan dealer even stated that this problem might have happen by me turning my steering wheel which made no sense to me.

On february 17, 2015, my daughter drove into a 3' ditch with about 4" of standing water with algea standing on top of the water. I had the vehicle inspected by my local mechanic to see if anything was damaged and had the oil levels checked as well and we continued to drive the vehicle for about 2500 miles. In may 2015 I chose to have the car repaired , front bumper etc. After the bodyshop finished with the car the airbag light needed to be reset by nissan. We continued to drive the car for another 500 miles and the transmission stopped. I was informed by my transmission mechanic that there was a recall on the vehicle with an extended warranty. I had the vehicle transported back to nissan for repair on july 27, 2015 and 10 -15 days later I was called and asked if the vehicle had been wrecked. Nissan warranty denied the claim based on the opinion the the car was flooded. The transmission oils were checked numerous times with no signs of water damaged. Nissan warranty referred me back to farm bureau to file an insurance claim based on the car was flooded in the accident that happened in february 2015. I had the transmission removed and brians transmission found the belt inside the transmission had broken and come apart. I went back to nissan and requested that a nissan representative come and review the transmission in its current state and to reopen the warranty claim. They informed me that they were not changing their minds this was a closed issue. Currently I am uncertain what will be my next move. I requested to speak to nissan warranty but was informed by nissan corporation that nissan warranty does not speak to individuals. Nissan corp. Did refer me back to the dealership to say that deacon jones nissan would have to be the one to initiate the request and they informed me this afternoon that they would pay up to $500.00 for repairs.
