What owners wrote
In january 2009 I purchased a brand new 2009 nissan maxima. In april my interior lights, steering wheel and seat and the heat on my drivers side seat stopped working. I took my car in to the nissan dealer for repairs, I was told that there was and electrical problem and that they had repaired it. Two weeks later the same thing happened to me when I went to georgia, when I got back to maryland I took my car into the nissan dealer for repairs again and was told that they could not find anything wrong with my car.
The drivers seats in many 2009 maximas are unstable and rock back and forth while the car is in motion. When accelerating, stopping or turn corners the seats rock causing your foot to be unstable on the brake or accelerator.
