#5 of 50 2009 - Navigation problems by go_mdx1 Oct 17, 2008 (5:27 am)
Hi,   I have the technology package on my 2009 Maxima and have noticed a couple of minor problems.   1) You have to hit the "Nearby Traffic Info" button multiple times to get into the traffic information view. 2) Once you do get into viewing the traffic information, if there are more than 5 traffic entries (the number of entries you can see on 1 screen), you cannot scroll beyond the first 5 entries! Yet, the bottom of the screen will show something like 1/8 entries. You can never see items 6 thru 8! 3) When you ask to view nearby places such as restaurants, gas stations, etc..., you never see more the 5 entries.   Does anyone else with the Nav package on the 2009 Maxima see these problems??

Replying to: go_mdx1 (Oct 17, 2008 5:27 am) The fact that you cannot scroll beyond the first 5 entries (for any of the lists that have more than 5 entries) is a 'safety' function of the navigation system. If you want to scroll past the number of entries shown on the screen, the car cannot be moving. Inconvenient for sure if you have a passenger that can mess with the nav when you drive.

Replying to: rkurlander (Sep 13, 2008 7:40 am) Glad to see you have the problemn fixed. As soon as I read your post I said to myself "I guarantee it's either a loose or faulty gas cap." Most manufacturers have this safety feature built in.   Even if they hadn't found it to be a gas cap, I don't think the Lemon Law would apply since there were no actual mechanical failures or extended loss of use due to the car being in the shop nor did you incur an out of pocket expense for repair.
#9 of 50 2009 Maxima Suspension Issues by smarty666 Aug 06, 2009 (5:40 pm)
I'll be leasing a new car in a month or two and I'm giving serious consideration to the 09 Maxima SV without sports and premium packages; I have read conflicting review about the suspension on the base SV; some say the maxima without the sports package has a comfortable/controlled ride that gives the car a luxury feel yet I've read other critics say the ride is overly firm and stiff especially on rough pavement and causes some bumps and jarring into the steering wheel/seats/etc; I doubled checked to make sure they were talking about the SV without the sports package (which I know gives you a sports suspension); I was hoping if anyone with a 09 Maxima SV without the sports package has found the suspension/ride to be a major problem for them and that is is really uncomfortable/harsh over rough pavement?

#10 of 50 Panic button by strehlow Aug 07, 2009 (8:31 am)
I have a small, stupid, yet irritating problem. At least twice a day when I have my keys and key fob in my pocket, I bend over or get into my 09 Maxima and accidently trigger the panic alarm. It's embarrassing and annoying. I tried to find a way to deactivate the alarm but Nissan says you can't. I love the keyless start and want to be able to carry my keys in my pocket without setting off the alarm every time I move. Any suggestions?

Replying to: rkurlander (Oct 02, 2008 9:05 am) I'm having the exact same issue, but the dealer can't seem to find a way to duplicate the problem with the car sitting in their garage, so they won't replace the gas cap. How did your dealer actual PROVE that the gas cap is faulty, which is what Nissan is requiring them to do for it to be covered under warranty?????
#13 of 50 Navigation on Maxima SV by greenacura Aug 19, 2009 (8:30 am)
Is there a way to over-ride the navigation on the 2009 Maxima so that you can select destination while the car is moving? My 2007 Acura TL allowed entries while under way but I can't seem to do this in the Maxima. Replies to this message: averagecarguy (Oct 02, 2009 7:09 pm)

Replying to: go_mdx1 (Oct 17, 2008 5:27 am) The same thing happen on my NEW 2009 Nissan Altima Nav. I haven't had time to read the huge manual to see if it is a setting. Keep me posted as I will do the same.
