2007 Nissan Maxima
CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2007 Nissan Maxima has a significant trend of timing chain problems, which can ruin the engine.
Nissan used an 'interference' design where the valves pop out into the path of the cylinder heads. Normally the timing chain keeps the valves opening at all the right times, but when Nissan's timing chain breaks or 'jumps time', the cylinder heads smash into open valves & cause thousands of dollars of engine damage in one very quick & surprisingly unimpressive 'PPPRRRRING!' sound.
Nissan Maximas from 2004-2006 have a widespread transmission defect, but judging from our complaint data, Nissan managed to fix the transmission problem for the 2007 model. The engine timing chain problems are a serious concern though.

The battery terminal lug which used to be a heavy lug has been replace by Nissan with a simple steel strap. When I noticed the extent of corrosion, I complained about it to the Nissan dealer and they quoted me a price to replace the lug with the same steel strap. I wanted this done under warranty which they refused to do and I departed without a fix. A week later I tried to start the car and the strap had finally corroded through. A tow truck cost me $75.00 to start the car after which I drove to Nissan and they replaced the strap in kind. I don't remember what this cost me. I suspect that Nissan saved about $0.50 per car with this crazy design.

Intelligent Key experience for 2007 Maxima Story!I just went through a harrowing experience when the ‘Green Light’ started flashing in my 2007 Maxima. Of Course I Panicked! At first I did the noble thing and called the dealer; who stated that I had to purchase a $25 battery and that it would take another $125 to program it (That’s $150…WOW)...After hearing this disturbing information I searched the internet an d came upon (FA) this site; where I received some hope. IN following the guidance from members at FA; I went out to the nearest AutoZone; purchased ($4.30) a pair of CR2025 batteries (Duracell); and the attendant assisted me with placing the battery in the remote. I walked away from this one only spending $4.30. Wow! I believe I saved $121.50! Nissan Service Dealers must get better with scarring consumers or past clients who purchased their cars. I hope this is helpful and if your battery dies; don't fret; buy the battery, and screwdriver (small flathead); If you do not have manual use this: INTELLIGENT KEY BATTERYReplace the battery in the Intelligent Key as follows:1. Remove the mechanical key from the Intelligent Key.2. Insert a small screwdriver (A) into the slits (B) of the corner and twist it to separate the upper part from the lower part.3. Replace the battery with a new one. (Recommended battery: CR2025 or equivalent.)• Do not touch the internal circuit and electric terminals as doing so could cause a malfunction.• Hold the battery by the edges. Holding the battery across the contact points will seriously deplete the storage capacity.• Make sure that the + side faces the bottom of the case.• And that’s basically IT! That Simple; No weird science, key programming or dealers rip off! I Hope this was helpful and will save some great consumer a lot of money in these economic hard times! Peace!
