NHTSA Complaint #10477325 — 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA

I BOUGHT A 2005 MAXIMA 3.5 SL IN 2006 BRAND NEW IN SOUTH CAROLINA. I FIRST STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WHEN I HAD MY 60,000 MILE SERVICE. ABOUT TWO WEEKS AFTER THE SERVICE MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON SO, I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID THERE WAS NO CODES, AND CLEARED THE LIGHT. I THEN TOOK MY CAR IN FOR THE 90,000 SERVICE AND ONCE AGAIN AROUND A WEEK OR TWO LATER MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND NOW THEIR WAS CODES SAYING MY EGR VALVE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I TOLD THE DEALERSHIP THE SAME THING HAPPENED WHEN I DID MY 60,000 MILE SERVICE. NEEDLESS TO SAY THEIR WAS A RECALL THAT THEY WOULD HAVE REPLACED IT FOR FREE BUT I WAS JUST OVER THE MILEAGE WHERE IT COULD HAVE BEEN DONE AT NO COST TO ME. ABOUT 3 MONTHS LATER MY CAR JERKED REALLY HARD, AND MY CAR LOST COMPLETE POWER THEN JERKED ONCE MORE AND STARTED TO MOVE. THE GAUGES IN THE CAR WENT COMPLETELY OUT AND EVERY LIGHT POSSIBLE ON THE DASH CAME ON. FIRST I WAS TOLD I HAVE TO REPLACE FOUR SENSORS, AND SO I DID SO ALONG WITH THE EGR VALVE. THE CAR RAN FINE FOR ABOUT TWO WEEKS AND STARTED DOING THE SAME THING. WHEN I WENT FROM DRIVE TO REVERSE OR VICE VERSA IT WOULD JERK REAL HARD BEFORE ENGAGING. I THEN TOOK THE CAR TO THE REPAIR SHOP AND THEY SAID MY TRANSMISSION SENSOR WAS BAD. I JUST HAD IT REPLACED TWO WEEKS AGO, AND NOW MY CAR IS BACK IS THE SHOP DOING THE SAME THING. THE TCS SLIP, AND EVERY LIGHT ON THE DASH IS ON, AND NONE OF MY GAUGES ARE WORKING. NOW THEY SAY IT MIGHT BE THE COMPUTER THAT IS BAD. THIS LAST TIME I WAS ON MY WAY HOME FROM MISSOURI AND IT DISENGAGED AND WOULD NOT PUT UP SPEED WHEN I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL. I WAS NEARLY REAR ENDED, AND HAD TO PULL OVER BECAUSE MY 12 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS IN THE CAR AND GOT SCARED. *TR
