unknown. Vehicle on roadway and it just stop accelerating in the middle of traffic. Research of vehicle before purchase refers to several issues that I would like to verify that those items are not a factor in my use of my vehicle. I have concern about lights, airbag, sensor, and I dont want to have a problem where I am in danger or others.

the vehicle failed front wheel bearing replacement. I took it to the mechanic because when i was driving there was a very loud noise and didn't feel well. The mechanic told me that I could have had an accident because the tire was about to come off the vehicle.

The contact owned a 2002 Nissan Maxima. The contact received notifications of NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V-008000 (Air Bags) and would like to be removed from the recall distribution list as he is no longer the owner of the vehicle. The local dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was contacted.

When I first purchased this car I had immediate problems with the power steering fluid. The check engine light has remained on the entire time. But the car was hemorrhaging fluid, groaning, whining, and my steering was becoming extremely loose. I call the dealer that sold me the car, because I dropped 4 grand on what seemed like a nice vehicle with under 100k on it. Well, I bought the car right off the lot and they refused to repair it. Cool, I respect that. IF the inspection reports and other papers are clearly falsified. It couldn't have passed inspection under normal situations. But since the dealer owns their own shop, they could slap stickers on busted vehicles and send them off to be sold. Eventually they do me " A favor" by replacing the power steering actuator/pump hoses & did work on towards a DTC code P0550. They give me that favor by charging me only for the parts, no labor. Totally cool, if work was done. It still has the same electrical tape in areas that was "fixed". They clear my codes and off I go. Engine light cuts on again and I'm having the same issues. My power steering fluid looks like it's boiling or bubbling as well. Still getting the P0550 code as my main DTC. Except now, I'm having major problems and my car has been sitting for a month. Not sure if the leaky fluid corroded components from before. As of now I'm throwing DTCs for P0171, P0305, P0550 (twice), believe I have a vacuum leak, my exhaust system is damaged internally from the misfire codes and has also broken apart near the rear muffler, among other pending codes. Lastly, I was coming home from work and my car completely loses power and bogs waaaay down. Engine light is flashing and I have no control or power. I limp home, park the car, and haven't drove it since other than for test drives. After countless repairs for the same issues, among new repairs and issues I'm broke. Issues started on 3/24 through 12/21 Not had this car for a year and it's been a constant pain ever since.

IN SEPT. 2014, MY CAR WAS IN FOR SERVICE AND RECALL NUMBER "03V455000" WAS PERFORMED. THE 2 CAMSHAFT SENSORS AND 1 CRANKSHAFT SENSOR WERE TO ALL BE REPLACED.

AIR BAG RECALL WAS FIXED AS SOON AS WE WERE NOTIFIED (A FEW MONTHS AGO). MY SON HAD A BAD ACCIDENT TODAY AND NEITHER HE NOR THE FIRST RESPONDERS CAN UNDERSTAND WHY THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. WERE THEY FIXED CORRECTLY? WERE THEY JUST TURNED OFF? HOW CAN WE GO ABOUT GETTING ANSWERS BEFORE THE CAR IS TAKEN OFF TO THE JUNK YARD? IT WAS MY CAR THAT I GAVE TO HIM SO I WRITING THIS AS HE IS NO SHAPE RIGHT NOW.

WHILE PARKING CAR IT SPONTANEOUSLY ACCELERATED ACROSS THE PARKING LOT, THE BORDERING STREET AND INTO ANOTHER PARKING LOT BEFORE STOPPING. THE CARS LEFT SIDE, RIGHT SIDE, FRONT BUMPER, TIRES AND SUSPENSION WERE DAMAGED. THOUGH NO OTHER CARS WERE HIT, COMMERCIAL GARBAGE CANS, STOP SIGN, TELEPHONE POLE AND A SERIES 4 CURBS INFLICTED DAMAGE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY DESPITE HAVING THEM CHECKED BY THE DEALER AS REQUIRED BY A RECALL. *TR
