This is a normal function – the cooling fan is running to bring the engine’s temperature down after driving. It should only run for a few minutes. If you’re still worried, your car should be under warranty, so a dealer visit isn’t out of the question. I hope this helps!

I have also had problems with my navigation in my 2010 Maixma. I had it into the dealership and they had to order me a replacement unit. After 2 weeks and me calling the dealership they finally got it in. They replaced the unit but I was still having the same problem. I took it back to them and explained the problem again. They stated that they just got a factory bulletin and that there is issues with the spacing of the nav system and that they housing can touch the screen and make the pointer move. I picked up the car… and as soon as I turned out of the parking lot… the same issue. I turned around and took it right back. They said they fixed it and the service manager took a 4 mile ride with me and no problems. Later that night I took a 2.5 hour trip and once again… the same problem with the screen. I do not know if anyone else is having this problem or if it is just happening on my vehicle. It is like someone is presses one of the arrow key in the dial or the screen just sits there until you hit the back button. Other then the nav problem I love the car and I am getting around 23 miles to the gallon with mostly rush hour traffic.

I haven’t had any issues with that – but I generally close the front windows when I’m driving over 40 with the sunroof open. Try opening the back windows a little bit to keep the flutter down, and let me know how that works for you.

i have had a 2010 maxima for about 1 month. I have been noticing a lot of noise with the sunroof curtain flapping with the two front windows down. I have talked to two other people that have the 2010 with no problem. I’m wonder if anybody has came across this two front windows down driving at maybe 40 miles a hour. If gonna guess that the wind is getting under the curtain making a flapping sound, I mean you can really see it while moving. Please any input

John –

Thanks for that prompt response. I read your review and both first and second updates, and that prompted my initial comment. So far, no issue to report, but I haven’t put 2000 miles on it in less than 3 months ownership; however will keep you apprised of reportable service/maintenance/problems/annoyances as they arise. Will send data for inclusion in a personal Owners Log for period 7/1 thru 9/30 for first 3-month report. I suppose I could follow the outline you use in your quarterly reports/observations, but am open to, and welcome any specific suggestions you’d care to make. Haven’t taken any pictures of the car, but will do so if you indicate an address where I should send.

Thanks.

Phil
