While driving my car down the road the vehicle randomly shut off lost power and I had to quickly pull into a plaza but was almost hit, looking through many different Nissan forums a lot of mechanics and owners are saying that the original crankshaft/camshaft position sensors on the Altima/maxima have experienced faulty mechanics over time that cause it to overheat and stop working and locking up the system completely. This is a huge problem as I can’t afford to fix this myself and it could have caused a serious accident this should be investigated due to other recalls on the Altima with the faulty sensors, the maxima 3.5 is also starting to experience these issues if you look through multiple forums and research the issue that’s happening. Please investigate this soon so that nobody gets seriously hurt.

On June 6th. 2019 my 2005 nissan maxima struck a disabled vehicle left in the middle lane of the Long Island Expressway (a 3 laned highway). Although I was traveling at 60 mph when the collision occurred and struck the disabled vehicle from the rear, the passenger airbag never deployed. This resulted in the passenger receiving significantly more serious injuries than that of the driver (who's airbag did deploy).

My car only has 112337 mile and needed to replace the transmission , now at 112954 have to replace the ABS control module . The transmission was hard shifting/ jerking when you get to about 30-35 mph . So it cost almost 4,000.00 to fix and the the speedometer and odometer quit working after 500 miles with new transmission and took the car to electrical shop to find out I now have to replace the ABS control module and after all the money put in this car I don't think it IS worth fixing the ABS considering I just bought the car in oct. 2018 and thought I got a great car and alredy have enough money put in it and could never sell it for the money I have in it nissan should be fixing these issues not me considering all the complaints on these cars with the same problems at the same mileage

This danger of which I complain IS not absolute to my vehicle but to all others that are made with such shortcut. In previous decades cars were made with a trunk key and or mechanical cable for opening. My 2005 maxima and most recent vehicles are made with only an electronic button to open the trunk. This IS very dangerous. Recently my car lost power at a precarious location and I had no way of accessing the trunk. My flares, my booster cables,all emergency tools, supplies, first aid kit, fire extinguisher, water all locked away in the trunk and I had no access to it. This IS not merely inconvenient, but very dangerous. car manufacturers may say that there IS access through the back seat. This, however, IS totally inadequate. It IS very cumbersome and call for physical maneuver which IS very difficult, time consuming and subject to failure. First it IS a task in itself to figure out and to get that back seat down. Even when down, there IS not enough space to even crawl inside and access things you need. Feeling around in the dark with your hand IS not efficient. Furthermore the apparatus to get the trunk door open from that position IS not only obscured but physically almost impossible to engage from that position. I propose that it be mandated that vehicles come with a more accessible backup, such as a mechanical cable from the inside of the car or key lock from the outside to open the trunk in case of power failure. This IS a real safety issue! One should definitely be able to access necessary and emergency items from the trunk in case of power failure emergency! This may seem like a trivial matter to you only because I may not be able to express the urgency of the situation and the possible devastating effect of this if it continues uncorrected. Please consider this a viable complaint and I urge you to approach this matter with expedition and earnest. Thank you!

This car has nothing but issues. I have had to replace the timing chains along with continuing to deal with the cars transmission and engine revving and trowing itself in and out of gear and dying the the middle of the road or highway. This car IS dangerous and hundreds of people are having the exact same issues with nissan refusing to address the issue or admit fault. Something needs to be done. Im sure people have been physically hurt from this issue and seems strong enough to be made into a class action suit.

Just after 100K miles the car started to jerk from r to d and slowly progressed into full blown slipping, rpms shoot through the roof while driving causing the car to slip and slam into gear at whatever speed I'm going which sometimes cause the car to be uncontrollable. I've seen 1,000s of forums with people having the same problem and claiming nissan knows about this issue but refuses to do anything about it. Not only IS my car unsafe but I feel as if nissan should be held responsible for the lack of care they put into the 2004-2007 models of the maxima.
