2010 Nissan Maxima Suspension

Yes the tire sensor light is on and the suspension has gone out and I have been advised that it needs struts and sway bar links and that I can not drive it or it will cause a wreck/collision.. Nissan has a recall on Nissan maximas for suspension but said my model is not included and what is recalled on other maximas is exactly what’s wrong with mine! My car sounds like it’s about to fall apart.

Passenger side strut insulator is cracked

The contact owns a 2010 Nissan Maxima. The contact stated that while driving at 60 MPH, the steering wheel began to violently shake without warning as his vehicle also began to wobble uncontrollably. The contact stated that the wobbling came to a stop once he released his foot off the accelerator pedal. The contact had taken the vehicle to an independent mechanic where the vehicle was diagnosed with a cracked strut insulator. Upon investigation, the contact discovered NHTSA Campaign Number: 09V358000 (Suspension) which he linked to the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was informed that the VIN was not included in the recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 148,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 NISSAN MAXIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STRUT INSULATOR WAS FRACTURED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRACTURE CAUSED A POWER STEERING FLUID LEAK. ADDITIONALLY, THE SET OF TIRES WERE REPLACED ALONG WITH THE MOTOR MOUNTS DUE TO THE FAILURE. THE TIRE PRESSURE WARNING WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO REFERENCED THE FAILURE TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 09V358000 (SUSPENSION). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TOWN NORTH NISSAN (9160 RESEARCH BLVD, AUSTIN, TX 78758) HOWEVER, THE DEALER PROVIDED NO ASSISTANCE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 100,000.

CRACKED STRUT HOUSINGS ON MY 2010 NISSAN MAXIMA .. BADLY. FEELS UNSTABLE IN MOTION

THE SHOCK INSULATORS ARE FALLING APART AND CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO BECOME HARD TO HANDLE AS WELL AS CAUSING A METAL TO METAL SOUND WHEN DRIVING. VEHICLE HAS VECOME EXTREMELY HARD TO CONTROL DRIVING HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I HAD TO GAVE VEGICLE TOWED HOME BECAUSE MY WIFE WAS SCARED THE VEHICLE WAS GOING TONLOSE CONTROL ON HIGHWAY. IT WENT FROM SLIGHTLY NOTICABLE TO PRETTY MUCH DANGEROUS TO DRIVE OVERNIGHT. THIS VEHICLE BARELY GAS 100000 MILES ON IT AND THE WAY THE RUBBER INSULATOR HAS DETERIORATED IS WORSE THAN ANY 20 YEAR OLD VEHICLE WITH 200000 MILES. THE INSULATOR IS LISTED AS A RECALL HOWEVER IT DOES NOT SHOWS MY VIN NUMBER AS HAVING NO UNREPAIRED RECALLS. CARFAX DOES NOT SHOW THIS REPAUR HAS BEEN DONE. DUE TO THIS BEING A RECALL IT WOULD BE LISTED ON CAR FAX AS A REPAIR.

WHEN DRIVING OVER A SPEED BUMP OR ANY TYPE OF ROAD DAMAGE, THE BACK END SWAYS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 NISSAN MAXIMA. WHILE DRIVING OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD, A POPPING NOISE WAS HEARD COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRONT STRUTS WERE FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE LOCAL DEALER (DOWNTOWN NASHVILLE NISSAN, 25 VANTAGE WAY, NASHVILLE TN) WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 09V358000 (SUSPENSION). THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE SAME FAILURE LISTED IN THE RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000.

STRUT INSULATOR ON PASENGER SIDE WAS CRACKED. I HAD IT REPLACED WITH NEW STRUT AND INSULATOR AND WAS IFORMED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AS WELL. EVERYTIME THE VECHICLE WAS DRIVEN HITTING ANY SLIGH DIP IN THE ROAD OR BUMP WOULD CAUSE THE STRUT TO SOUND AS IT THE WHEEL WAS ABOU TO FALL OFF THE CAR. I ORDER A NEW STRUT AND MOUNT AUG 2018 AND HAD IT REPLACED .

MY 2010 NISSSAN MAXIMA HAS 54,900 MILES. IN DECEMBER 2017 I NOTICED A RATTLE IN THE CAR FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE WHEN EVER GOING OVER BUMPS OR ROUGH ROAD. SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS DUE FOR A TIRE ROTATION I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY TIRE SHOP WHERE THEY DISCOVERED THAT BOTH SUSPENSION SPRINGS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WERE BROKEN. BOTH BREAKS OCCURRED AT THE BOTTOM PORTION OF THE SPRING. THE BROKEN PARTS LOOK ALMOST IDENTICAL. FORTUNATELY THEY CAUSED NO FURTHER DAMAGE ALTHOUGH DAMAGE TO THE TIRES OR SUSPENSION COULD HAVE OCCURRED WITH RESULTING LOSS OF CONTROL. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL DEALER'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT WHERE THEY ADVISED THAT THIS TYPE OF FAILURE IS TYPICAL AND THERE IS NO RECALL OR REIMBURSEMENT FOR THIS COMPONENT FAILURE. HAVING OWNED DIFFERENT VEHICLES OF ALL TYPES OVER THE LAST 40 YEARS I HAVE NEVER HAD SUSPENSION SPRING FAILURE WITH ANY VEHICLE EVEN THOUGH THEY WOULD HAVE HAD HIGHER MILEAGE THAN THIS 2010 NISSAN. IT IS SURPRISING THAT NISSAN DOES NOT ADMIT TO A SPRING PROBLEM WHEN YOU CONSIDER THAT THEY HAVE RECALLED HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF VEHICLES FOR SUSPENSION SPRING EARLIER FAILURES. I BELIEVE THIS TYPE OF FAILURE SHOULD BE FURTHER INVESTIGATED WITH THE MANUFACTURER BEFORE SOMEONE SUFFERS AN INJURY DUE TO EARLY FAILURE OF A KEY SUSPENSION COMPONENT.

BOTH FRONT STRUT ASSEMBLY IS DAMAGED AND CRACKING. RIGHT LOWER CONTROL ARM SEEMS TO NEED REPLACED. SUSPENSION FEELS STIFF AND IS LOUD WHEN GO OVER SMALL BUMPS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 NISSAN MAXIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE WHEN IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE STRUT INSULATOR WAS CRACKED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 09V358000 (SUSPENSION). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

I BEGAN NOTICING AN ODD NOISE IN THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE WHEN TRAVELING OVER ROUGH ROADS, POTHOLES OR BUMPS. THE NOISE QUICKLY BECAME WORSE AND MORE METALLIC SOUNDING. I HAVE ANOTHER VEHICLE AND THIS CAR WAS NOT DRIVEN ALL WINTER AND LITTLE SO FAR THIS YEAR. SO IT HAS NOT BEEN USED MUCH SINCE A NEW CVT WAS INSTALLED UNDER WARRANTY. I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL GARAGE I TRUST AND AFTER TEST DRIVING IT HEARD THE NOISE AND PUT IT ON THE LIFT. IT WAS THEN BOTH FRONT SPRINGS WERE FOUND TO BE BROKEN IN ALMOST THE EXACT SAME SPOT. A VERY ODD OCCURRENCE FOR SURE. THIS IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY AND IS CERTAINLY A SAFETY ISSUE.

CLUNKING NOISE IN FRONT END OF 2010 NISSAN MAXIMA. HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER ONCE, THEY REPLACED STRUTS, BUT THE NOISE PERSISTS. IT'S ONGOING. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER THIS WEEK TO REVISIT THE NOISE PROBLEM, BUT I ANTICIPATE DIFFICULTY. *TR
