Known issues on the 2007 Maxima. One recall is on federal record for this model year, covering vehicles equipped with the Intelligent Key: if the key is turned to "off" without the transmission being in "park," the steering wheel can lock when turned to the right, a defect that failed to meet federal anti-theft standards.
