2004 Nissan Maxima Structure

THE PASSENGER FLOOR BOARD HAS RUSTED THROUGH CREATING A HOLE ABOUT 7" BY 14" UNDER THE CARPET. NISSAN WAS CONTACTED THROUGH OUR LOCAL DEALER IN MAY AND NISSAN RESPONDED THAT THEY WOULD NOT REPAIR THE ISSUE WITHOUT COST TO US. IN INVESTIGATING IT IS INTERESTING TO NOTE THAT THE PANEL THAT IS RUSTED OUT APPEARS TO BE PAINTED IN A GREEN GLOSS PRIMER WHEN THE REMAINDER OF THE FLOOR IS THE BODY COLOR OF WHITE. IN SEARCHING THE INTERNET IT APPEARS THAT THERE ARE MANY OTHER MAXIMA OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THE CAR IS GARAGE KEPT IN OHIO, AND RARELY HAS A PASSENGER ON THAT SIDE. CAR IS IN MY WIFE'S NAME.

RUSTING OF UNDERBODY (FLOOR), UNDER DRIVER AND PASSENGER, VISIBLE HOLES, DIAMETER SIZE OF OVER 1 FOOT. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA. AFTER HAVING BRAKE WORK DONE SEVERAL TIMES, THE REAL PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED. THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE STRUTS. BOTH FRONT STRUTS NEED TO BE REPLACED. CAR HAS 72,000 MILES AND HAS BEEN VERY WELL TAKEN CARE OF. THIS IS NOT NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR AND IT IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM. THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES, THERE IS A SQUEAKING SOUND, AND CAR SOMETIMES SEEMS TO PULL TO ONE SIDE OR THE OTHER. NISSAN HAS SAID THAT THEY WILL ASSUME NO RESPONSIBILITY. AS A CONSUMER, I RESPECTFULLY ASK THAT YOU LOOK INTO THIS MATTER.

I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA WITH 96,000 MILES AND THE UNDERCARRIAGE FLOOR BOARD IS ROTTING AWAY. I TAKE EXCELLENT CARE OF ALL OF MY CARS AND THE CAR LOOKS BRAND NEW, NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND SERVICED THROUGH THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALER FOR ALL WORK ON IT. I HAVE HAD SIX NISSAN MAXIMAS (1987, 1990, 1996, 2000, 2004, 2009) AND I'VE NEVER HAD AN ISSUE LIKE THIS. I LIVE IN THE NORTHEAST BUT I ALWAYS HAVE. I THINK SOMETHING WAS UP WITH THE QUALITY AND MATERIALS FOR THE 2004 MODEL. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA. AFTER THE CONTACT'S SUN ROOF WAS REPLACED, HE BEGAN TO SEE BUBBLES ON THE REPLACED GLASS AND RUST ON THE ROOF OF HIS VEHICLE. NISSAN WAS NOTIFIED, BUT HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING TO CORRECT THE FAILURES. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 41,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 38,000.

I LEASED AN 04' NISSAN MAXIMA. PARTS HAVE FALLEN OFF THE CAR. THE FIT AND FINISH ARE HORRIBLE ON THE CAR. THE HOOD IS MIS-ALIGNED. I HAVE TWO RECALLS ON THE CAR AS OF 3-10-06, THERE IS A SMELL OF CONDENSATION INSIDE, AND NOW WATER IS LEAKING INSIDE THROUGH THE ROOF. *NM

WHILE DRIVING A 2004 MAXIMA ( A RENTAL FROM ENTERPRISE) ON INTERSTATE 91 IN CT. ON 3/7/2004, OUT OF NO WHERE THE GLASS ROOF EXPLODED OUTWARD. GLASS COVERED ME AND THE BACKSEAT OF THE CAR. NOTHING HIT THE CAR, I WENT UNDER NO OVERPASSES, THERE WERE NO OTHER VEHICLES AROUND ME AT THE TIME. I NEARLY LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR AND SUFFERED MINOR SCRATCHES TO FOREHEAD AND ARM FROM THE SHATTERED GLASS. I STRONGLY FEEL THAT THIS WAS SOME SORT OF DEFECT AND WANT THIS DOCUMENTED AS TO PREVENT FURTHER INJURY TO OTHER DRIVER'S OF THIS MAKE VEHICLE.*AK

THERE WAS A GURGLING NOISE FROM THE HEATER CORE. TSB #10003434. DUST GOT BEHIND THE PROTECTED SCREEN IN THE DASHBOARD, WHICH MADE THE DASHBOARD COMPONENTS UNREADABLE TSB#10003508. *JB

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEAR A LOUD POPPING NOISE. I BECAME STARTLED AND SWERVED. I LOOKED UP AND SAW THAT THE GLASS ON MY SKYVIEW SUNROOF WAS SHATTERED. THERE WERE NO CARS NEXT TO ME NOR ANY TREES OVERHEAD. *AK

MY 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY. I TURNED THE KEY AND SHUT THE DRIVER DOOR. WHEN I SHUT THE DOOR THE SUNROOF GLASS SHATTERED ALL OVER ME AND THE CAR. THERE WAS GLASS EVERYWHERE. THE GLASS THAT WAS LEFT ON THE SUNROOF WAS POINTING UPWARD. I GOT CUT ON MY HANDS AND MY HEAD WAS FILLED WITH GLASS. THERE WAS NO WARNING OR SOUND OR NOTICE WHATSOEVER. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED AS IT CAN BE A SERIOUS HAZARD TO PEOPLE THAT ARE DRIVING AND THIS INCIDENT OCCURS. *AK

VIBRATION NOISE COMING FROM SUNROOF AREA WHEN SUN SHADE IS OPEN, BUT SUNROOF GLASS IS CLOSED. *NM

WAS EXITING THE HIGHWAY STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. I HEARD A LOUD POPPING NOISE. I OPENED THE VISOR OF THE SKYVIEW AND THE ENTIRE GLASS WAS SHATTERED. I GOT OUT THE CAR AND ASKED THE GUY BEHIND ME IN A VAN IF HE SAW SOMETHING HIT MY CAR, HE SAID HED DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING HIT MY CAR. THE SKYVIEW WAS POPPED UP LIKE SOMEONE HAD PUNCHED IT OUT FROM THE INSIDE. THE ENTIRE GLASS WAS SHATTERED. THE WEATHER THAT DAY WAS RAINY AND ABOUT 60 - 65 DEGREES. I HAD THE DEFROSTER ON 80 DEGREES FOR THE FRONT WINDOWS AND ALSO HAD THE BACK DEFROSTER ON. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH ON THE WEB AND SO FAR HAVE FOUND TWO OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE EXACT SAME COMPLAINT. *AK
