Control key is good, had it replaced but have same problem.
Doesn’t work. No auto lock, no horn when locked, no emergency horn, nothing.
Except, if the battery is in the control key, it sometimes goes crazy. Like horn going off at night, or doors looking after i exit car to get something from passenger side. I changed the battery, its not in the battery.
Did Nissan ever do a recall for this? Would it likely be the wiring or the main computer?

Hi, to just get to the point, I’m injured, illegally fired for being injured, too injured to collect unemployment but, not yet injured enough to get my disability income which, has been going on for over three years now. My home is in foreclosure and my car, which I was told to take to the dealership it was purchased at for a free recall problem (that I’ve already paid for twice) now has a $2,490.00 repair tab. I literally have three dollars and some change to my name. Any ideas?

We had our Ford Explorer 1999 towed into a Ford auto shop thinking it was a key problem as it wouldn’t start after changing the battery. We were given a quote to fix this, he called later that day and told us it was more than that and doubled the quote so we said o.k (at this point we were talking $140.0) He called later and told us it was a fuel pump and it would be $1010. We said we couldn’t afford that so booked in somewhere else. When we went to collect he charged us for a full engine diagnostic $139 but didn’t give us any paperwork confirming the problem, also told us they had replaced a part which had been recalled by Ford but again didn’t give us any paperwork, I have no idea what he has replaced. We have since had to go to 2 different auto places and paid another diagnostic fee in each because we were not sure on the problem. Is this normal?

I took my car to Sears Auto Center to get my tires replaced and noticed my mechanic wearing a Ford Genuine Parts and Service shirt. I asked him if he works for Ford. He said yes, and that Sears was his second job. Out of curiosity, I asked him if he is regularly trained by Ford. He said not really and they are only briefed if there is a recall. He said once you are an ASE certified mechanic, Ford will hire you and you don’t have to do factory training except knowing the warranty of the company and such. So my question is, are factory trained technicians just a marketing ploy?

I stupidly answered a question in photography section so please educate me.
If a nikon cam says F.. this means the lens and body arent communicating?
like say an old 50mm MF lens on a D200 will cause the issue?
i have never used nikons on auto so i assume it doesnt happen on manual setting? - also cant recall using a MF lens on a AF body either so give me the low down please.
Thanks for answering.
many thanks Dr

I’m trying to figure out if Honda messed up and didn’t send me a letter confirming the a09-007 update item for 2006 Civics belt tensioner pivot bolt replacement? Is this supposed to be free even if your out of warranty? I’m trying to figure out if not having gotten this done is whats causing my belt tensioner to make residual noise at 81,000 miles.
I just need to know if this is in fact a freebie repair, or not. I find it hard to believe Honda would have bothered releasing this bulleting in January of 2009 knowing full well, most Civic owners from 2006 probably surpassed their 36,000 mile warranty by that point.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

This is why I’m asking this question:
In 1970’s Ford Pinto was causing explosion when being hit from rear even as slow as 10 mph. Many Americans suffered from this incident from being permanently crippled and death. The CEO of this so called American Ford company had a secret document that was finally released in the 80’s that they knew about this problem and didn’t want to recall the Pintos but rather would pay off law-suits to the Americans because it was a cheaper way to go!!! They claim that each American life was worth about 200K if they were to get sued!
Chrysler had their workers come out of their factory and beat up on a Honda car with a baseball bats. They spat, kicked and lit fire on a Honda car because they were losing business to the Japanese in the 70’s!? Instead of taking care of business by competing they were taking it out on a Jap CAR??!!! Iacocca the CEO of Chrysler went as low as making commercials on how the Japs/Asians are small people so they make small cars and that Americans should stick with the American cars! This is the mentality of American Automotive industry, instead of competing by fixing the cars they were trying to brain wash the loyal American consumers!
So isn’t this Karma nipping back at the collective people who are selfish and insincere, backstabbing toward their very own people called Americans?
To Shots: Yes, the CEO’s of 70’s era are probably no longer there but the mentality is still there. They still follow the same tradition of cutting corners and charging high prices, lying to the Americans, and who knows what sneaking insincere things they have done to the Americans and yet they brain-wash to think that we should support them because it’s American?! So they have no interest in protecting the Americans whatsoever! Just imagine if your love ones were to buy a car that’s explosive and u dont’ know it but the CEO of the company does and wouldn’t recall it just so they can save money for themselves! Is that American way? Is that why we should support them? Thanx for answering. Merry X-mas!
To Friar Timothy: Well said! But you forgot to mention about gas prices. We must also stop paying $5 for a gallon of gas ever again! Even now it’s still too expensive. I don’t believe oil is so limited that justifies $140 per barrel! It’s around $40 now so you see if it justifies to be around $140 how could it dropped like this! We been getting soooooo ripped off. In Vanesuela, they only pay around 25 cents per gallon of gas! We should have to only pay no more than $1 per gallon for another 50 years! They it can go up to possible $150 or so but no more! Thanx for answering! Merry X-mas.

Im seriously interested in purchasing a used 2006 Maxima SL and after doing some research on reliability and safety for the 04-06 (only ones w/ 5sp auto) I found a recall regarding the rear subframe that could fail on the 06. It stated that dealers inspected potential cars and replaced parts as needed. I dont want to waste my time calling nissan. Please help! The dealer that has the car will not hold the car for me. Has anyone had to deal w/ this recall?
