1N4AA6AP8HC3712002017 NISSAN Maxima

Car turning off while driving and can't turn the wheel to get out of the road. We had the car battery, fob battery and alternator replaced and still the same issue. We heard this has happened to another owner of the same vehicle that lives in or town. This is not safe and could cause an accident.

My son was driving my car to work and this is his account of the incident On 1/17/2026 on I95 n, the steering wheel abruptly stopped controlling the wheels. It was as if it completely disconnected and he lost control and crashed into the median. It was a terrifying incident for my son. No other cars were involved. This accident has been reported to my insurance company. This car has been a smooth ride since I've had it. It has UNDER 70,000 miles even though it's a 2017 Nissan Maxima. There were no warning or messages on the dash. I have been ill so the process of getting the car appraised or considered for repairs has just begun. I incurred towing charges and rental fees. My son is having headaches and back pain since this incident. What made it extremely scary is that it happened suddenly.

N/A

I had my car being repaired for a car accident I had on [XXX]. A piece of tire on the highway [XXX] went underneath the middle frame of my car. I picked up the car from the repair shop here in Columbus, Ohio on Saturday, [XXX]. Beginning on the same day, I had a "check engine" light appear on my dashboard. On Sunday,; I went to my local Auto Zone store. They informed me that their test results was" Power Train System Secondary Issue: P1751 CVT Judder (C/V Inspection). Recently this year, I received a notice from Nissan Corporation concerning my Maxima. It was from a class action lawsuit over the engine. It extended the warranty on my car to 84,000 miles. My car has approximatelly a little over 82,000. About 2 to 3 weeks ago, I contacted Nissan Consumer Affairs concerning my vehicle. The female who I spoke to said my 2017 Nissan Maxima was not in their system. She informed me that an e-mail wiell be sent to me. When I reply back,; I was to attach one item of either my USAA car insurance identification card or copy of my Ohio BMV form. I did both. I then got an email stating to resend these items. I did, Today, I went by the Germain Nissan dealership located on Morse Road concerning the "check engine" light. The service director informed me that there was no "recall " on my vehicle concerning the engine. Therefore, Nissan needs to add me and my car into their system to include the extended warranty on my 2017 Nissan Maxima I purchased from Georgesville Nissan here in Columbus asap, INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Roof started to show lines that turn into cracks exposing the internal metal frame.

Air Bag sensor keeps turning on. After several resets, and it’s always a different airbag sensor that sets it off.

My car has been "losing power" while driving. While driving and pressing the gas pedal, the car will stop accelerating and kind of goes into an idle state. Highly dangerous! It happened the other day while I was attempting to enter traffic. It has been happening off and on for the last 2 weeks and has been happening more frequently, meaning several times a day. It seems to happen more often when the temperature outside is hot (90+ degrees). Also, with the last few times, after it happens and I regain power, the ABS light comes on and remains on until I shut off the engine.

My main issue that has caused major concern is while I was driving down the road.The steering all of a sudden jerked and I was almost in an accident. I immediately took it down to my mechanic and he stated that the control arm of the vehicle was bad. I did replace all four tires and got an alignment prior to this happening. Now,this was the most serious incident. I purchased this vehicle in 2022. I have had nothing but problems with it. The first two months I had it. I had to replace the mass airflow sensor not only once but twice. Then a couple months later the serpentine belt went out, replaced that, then of course it goes out again 6th months later. Replaced again!. In addition to that I have had several electrical issues, I think I replaced more tail lights, fog lights, and headlights on this vehicle than all my previous vehicles put together and I have owned many. The engine makes a funny sound every time I accelerate, I have yet to diagnose that one. The fuel door spring busted which results in my check engine light always on, the visor broke and won't stay up, had to replace that. I have been through 4 sets of tires since I purchased it. I only live a mile from work, I don't put a lot of miles on the vehicle. I have a disabled wife and I need reliable transportation. I have spent thousands of dollars to fix this car and the problems keep coming. I've almost spent more money on it than the car payment and insurance for 3 years. There is definitely something wrong with this vehicle and I think Nissan corporation should be held liable.

While driving on I-75 in Atlanta about a month ago, my 2017 Nissan Maxima suddenly stopped accelerating. The engine was revving, but the car wouldn’t respond when I pressed the gas. It was unexpected and dangerous in fast-moving highway traffic. The same issue happened again on July 22, 2024, while I was driving on I-85. Both times, the car lost acceleration without warning in the moment. Before these incidents, I noticed occasional hesitation from a stop and delayed acceleration, but nothing as extreme as losing power at highway speeds. I took the car to a Nissan dealership, and they pulled a P17F1 code related to the CVT transmission. Nissan has acknowledged this issue by extending the warranty for transmission repairs in other models, but they told me my vehicle is not covered. This failure creates a serious safety risk and should not be ignored.

Component Failure: CVT transmission completely failed, requires full replacement. Failed unit available for inspection. Consistent with known manufacturing defect affecting multiple Nissan models, evidenced by $400+ million in class action settlements in the USA alone. Safety Risks: Sudden acceleration loss while driving, unpredictable lurching/jerking, complete loss of forward propulsion, risk of rear-end collisions, inability to safely merge or maintain highway speeds. CVT failures occur suddenly without adequate warning. Dealer Confirmation: Younker Nissan in Renton, WA confirmed complete CVT failure requiring replacement, estimated cost $8800. Manufacturer Inspection: None. Nissan declined inspection citing mileage over 84,000-mile limit, despite known manufacturing defect and my vehicle falling within [XXX] v. Nissan settlement model years (2016-2018 Maxima). Warning Symptoms: Initial: Shuddering and jerking while on highway. Within 1 hour: Intermittent hesitation, jerking during acceleration, transmission shuddering, whining noises, slipping, intermittent check engine light Within 2 days: More of the same, but worse. Completely stopped driving it. These match documented CVT failure patterns in Nissan settlements: hesitating, stalling, jerking, lurching, shaking, juddering, premature failure. Context: This systematic manufacturing defect acknowledged through multiple Nissan settlements totaling $400+ million in trhe USA alone. Failure at 106k miles well within expected transmission lifespan for properly maintained flagship sedan. Arbitrary 84k-mile settlement limits exclude well-maintained vehicles experiencing same inherent defect. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The 2 A pillar molding in the front flew off while driving on the highway and the 2 rear pillar moldings in the back are loose. It is available for inspection. This is an EXTREME safety concern as I was going high speeds and part of my car detached - I am thankful that it did not hit the cars near me but that doesn't mean that when I get it replaced with the faulty issue, that the new ones will not fall off. The problem has been confirmed by the dealer. There was no warning that the parts were falling off. The car has zero body damage and has never been in a wreck before. This is a KNOWN issue with the maxima and I am disappointed that nissian knows about this, has a service bulletin (Classification: BT19-011a; Ref: NTB19-079a) on how to fix this KNOWN issue but the manufacturer refuses to take any accountability for their poor design flaws leading to a major safety concern.

Failure of rear control arms

Airbag warning light stays on at the dashboard. Passenger air bag light indicates airbag is off when someone is actually in the seat. This is incorrect.

The contact's mother owns a 2017 Nissan Maxima equipped with Continental Tires, Tire Line: Pro Contact TX, Tire Size: 245/45/R18, DOT Number: (N/A). The contact stated that while starting the vehicle, the TPMS warning light was illuminated. The owner noticed that the passenger's side front tire was flat. The tire was replaced with the spare tire. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where it was confirmed that the tire tread had separated, and all four tires needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the owner to the local dealer for assistance. The contact stated that the failure was related to NHTSA Campaign Number: 21T001000 (Tires) and 20T018000 (Tires). The DOT number was not available. The tire mileage was approximately 16,000. The vehicle failure mileage was approximately 63,458.

2017 Nissan Maxima rear roof has a serious material deterioration occurring on both passenger and driver’s side. This not only creates a vector for water intrusion, but also compromises vehicle integrity and calls into question crash/rollover certifications. Secondary effects, include electrical vehicle integrity and vectors for mold within the cabin affecting occupants health. This is a systemic problem that has been happening with Nissan Maximas (+/-5 years) and has been documented in multiple forums.

The system that failed on my Maxima SL 2017 was the CVT transmission. It was diagnosed by Sutherlin Dealer Nissan on 4/3/24 with the code DTC P17F1 CVT Judder at the cost of $193.83. My safety & others were put at risk when my car STOP in the middle of an intersection not once but 4 times without a warning, not lights, not sounds etc. just STOP. I pressed the gas petal and the car moved slowly. After the diagnosis we were told the car may or may not stop again. We decided to look for another diagnosis & quote. On 4/10/24 the car left me stranded again crossing another intersection. Car was towed again to a certified Nissan transmission shop and left for repairs. A Nissan OEM refurbished transmission was changed, and computer was reprogrammed at Sutherlin Nissan as part of the fixing at a cost of $6,707.49. On 4/29/24 car stop sudden again. Car was towed to the previous independent transmission shop and 4 days later they stated nothing was wrong because not code related to the transmission or anything else showed, but a new battery was placed. We pick up the car again from the independent repair shop on 5/3/24, in our trip back the next day 5/4/24 from returning the 3rd rental car, the car STOP again in the middle of the road (limp mode) We waited about 45 minutes with the car on and noticed a strange noise coming from the new installed transmission and the air conditioner turned off. After turning the engine on and off the AC came back on again and car seems to come back normally. We were able to manage to take it to the Nissan Dealership with was just 15 minutes away. We left the car and waited for the diagnosis to be made on Monday 5/6/24. We were informed that same transmission code showed which means the new installed refurbished transmission was gone bad!!! and the good news was we don't have to pay for another transmission, but we must pay for labor again $2,696.

Rear passenger pillars between passenger doors and trunk plastic trim pieces have both broken off. The plastic clips are so flimsy they broke off.

What happened today was the sunroof exploded while driving down the interstate. Loud gunshot sound! Lucky the viser was closed when it happened! I have an appointment next week due to dealership backed up but they said I can come by to get it patched until my appointment day. No Warning lights, messages, or anything happened before the incident occurred. Just glad no one was hurt and it didn’t cause me to have accident.

Went to work and parked. It rained that day, not sure if it’s related. When I went to leave the dash airbag light stayed on. This was December 2023. There are no other issues with the car. No other warning lights. The car has 52,300 miles on it now. I just recently took it to the dealership to see about getting it fixed and was quoted $7k-11k in repairs. They told me “it’s usually the setback assembly. That could possibly fix it.” I was told the lifetime power train warranty that the dealership offers does not apply. I do have the invoice, but for some train the website is not letting me upload.

The transmission just stops shifting out of nowhere and has had a transmission judder code since ive owned it. The transmission shakes at acceleration about 90% of the time.

I was driving on the highway and the passenger side front pillar trim panel just flew off. This is the second time this has happened to my vehicle, the first time was my rear pillar which I paid to replace myself because I was told at the dealership this is just a cosmetic issue. I disagree, to me this is very hazardous and could potentially hurt someone, and now my car sounds like air is coming through the windshield. I don’t feel safe driving this car now and this kind of thing happening. I would feel awful if this caused an accident or if someone got hurt and I feel that Nissan should take responsibility and correct this defect as I have researched that many people have experienced the same scenario with these parts of the vehicle. The one I had replaced had different clips and definitely feels more secure, but again I don’t think enough people are reporting this issue properly, so I am because it’s dangerous.

First, my passenger airbag light came on and will not go off. then my emergency breaking system activated while I was driving on the interstate and I was almost hit by a semi from behind I didn’t manage to get the vehicle off the road I took it to Nissan . They did a diagnostics and couldn’t find anything wrong with the car the emergency braking system has activated several times since then and now my whole dash system seems to freeze up completely and will not let me use anything in the car. I have to put it in park the car off and restart for it to work. Nissan has my vehicle now . They did another diagnostics and said it was a sensor in the airbags, and the whole driver side seat had to be replaced and I was told that my airbags would not deploy if I got in a car wreck since there is no recall for this issue so they say I have to put out-of-pocket that amount of money to fix my car and they want me to pay for another diagnostics fee. I have a car that does not have safety features that I paid for. Nissan wants to charge me again for another diagnostics exam and the cost for the seat they say about $5000 .

The airbag light does not go out once the vehicle has been started and while driving.

Car starts, but would not accelerate. Turned the car off, started 10 minutes later, car would not accelerate past 5 mph. Drove a 1/4 block turned around, car’s power steering locked up in drive way. 12 hours later car works fine, no acceleration issues. Brought to Nissan dealership, they found no issues. 2 weeks later, drove for 3-hour trip. Returned home and parked. Started car 30 minutes later, drove 10 minutes and car loses acceleration again in the middle of road/traffic. Able to park safely. Car engine would not restart, lights and hazards working. Error message on dash says incorrect key code. Called a tow, they jumped the car with a jumper pack and engine starts, car accelerates. 1 day later new battery installed, new battery in key fobs. Car is accelerating and starting now. My complaint, my belief that there is a serious design flaw with the keyless start option. Car is not detecting key while in drive every time. No indication given that batteries were low power. Safety issues - no detectable problems found by mechanics, losing acceleration while in traffic possibly due to key fob malfunction. Why is there no option for traditional key start? How can car be trusted to start/ accelerate when driving long distances, when there is no reasonable explanation for the loss of acceleration? This is not a unique issue, a number of complaints online for viewing. Videos on how to ‘fix’ by unplugging car battery. Consumers should not have to diy/disconnect car battery just to start a car.I believe this is a deeper issue with car design and is a safety issue for teen and adult drivers.

The emergency braking system warning light came on while I was stopped in rush hour traffic. No collision. Light is coming on every time I drive the car. Fear of the system automatically stopping my vehicle while driving without cause. The dealership refused to test the sensors without me paying for the service. This first started showing up on 8/28/2023. The front sensors warning stating " front sensor obstructed system is unavailable" has been coming on for no reason at random. Dealership refuses to test sensors without me paying for test. This has been happening for some time.

Carvana states I have open recalls on my car. However, when I check my VIN on your website it states no open recalls. I reached out to Carvana to file a complaint as I wasted 2 hours of my life taking my car to have recalls fixed when the recalls were non-existent. Carvana in turn routes me to file a complaint with you as you send them the codes for recalls. Does my car have recalls or not?

May 17,2023 6:30a.m. I drove to work, parked for 9hrs & at 4pm when I went to leave my sunroof was shattered.. there are no trees or anything that is over my car.. it looked as though someone had gotten inside my car & punched the sunroof as the glass was slightly pushed outwards.. my car was locked & no signs of entry... upon my arrival to Hudson Nissan I was informed by a Nissan Service Writer that this happens all the time & he told me to look it up on Youtube or Google.. After looking it up & seeing that exploding sunroofs happen daily, I did more research & saw there are current & past lawsuits pertaining to exploding sunroofs..that is also where I saw that I needed to file my exploding sunroof on this site. My car was inspected by a certified Nissan technician that said my entire roof system needed to be replaced. My car was also inspected by a certified State Farm Adjuster that only wants to pay for the rear glass. Thankfully I was not driving at the time of the incident, however, after viewing several videos of consumers this has happened to, they all said it sounds like a gunshot.. I've been shot, still carry the bullet in my neck, I cannot even imagine how I'd react if I were on the interstate driving 65mph and hear what appears to be a gunshot inside my car...or if my grandson was riding along. I cant say how I'd react,, but im guessing everyone around me would be at risk including myself.. I just can't phathom why this issue is still allowed to happen. The entire process has been a complete nightmare. I've been without a vehicle since May 17, 2023. State Farm doesn't want to pay for what the manufacturer/dealership suggests & once I get it fixed I will be trading it... I do not ever want to go through this again!

The trim between rear quarter panels and side rear windows becomes loose and not attached at one end and falls of the cars which might be a hazard for pedestrians at higher speeds.

Driver side rear lower suspension broke while driving which caused a wheel misalignment and tire worn within few weeks. Nissan is not recalling any cars but instead they extended the warranty but only fixing the cars when the arms corrode. https://www.nissanassist.com/campaigns/certain-my-2013-2018-nissan-altima-and-certain-my-2016-2018-nissan-maxima-rear-lower-suspension-link

DRIVER AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR TWO YEARS AND DEALERSHIP STATES THAT IT WILL COST THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO BE REPLACED AND/OR REPAIRED. I HAVE RESEARCHED ONLINE AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL AND MAY BE A CONTINUANCE OF AIRBAG ISSUES THAT WERE INCLUDED IN A RECALL PRIOR TO THIS YEAR MODEL. TODAY, I AM UNSURE AS TO WHETHER OR NOT THE AIRBAGS WILL WORK PROPERLY IN THE VEHICLE IF IT IS IN AN ACCIDENT.

I bought the vehicle in question new and it has less than 10,000 miles. The low beam headlights have a definite line where there is no light above the line and very dim light directly in front of the vehicle( photos attached). I took the car to the dealer and was informed that this is “normal” for the Maxima and that there is no adjustment that can be made. I then sent photos to Nissan Customer Service (Case # 48013453 ) and was informed again that this is normal for that model. When driven on an unlit road, one has to run bright lights at all times to be able to safely see. I have included photos of the light pattern. The sequence is backing out of the garage and then on a dark street. Please note photo 2 where I am standing barely to the right and I am not visible above my belt line. In my opinion, If this is typical of all 2017 Nissan Maxima’s; there is a safety issue.

The car went full throttle by itself and would not stop.

About two years ago, the driver airbag light came on and has been on. We took the car to Hudson Nissan in Charleston, SC to have it repaired and were informed that we would have to replace the entire seat to replace the sensor to the tune of about $4500.00. Based on a lot of information I have been reading, there has been a recall on certain 2017 Nissan Maximas but not all of them. I believe that my car should be covered under the recall or at least covered by Nissan because the sensors are known to go bad and there is plenty of information available online about this issue.

My headlights are clouded on the inside from condensation getting inside the light. Nissan says the lights are vented and the water should drain. Water drains but condensation from water has clouded my headlights.

Transmission went out

Car will suddenly and dramatically decelerate creating loss of control and surprising drivers around me expecting me to continue in a clear lane sometimes nearly causing me to rear-ended Car will shut off this feature automatically at times. the AEB malfunction light will illuminate. I have shared this with the dealer 2x - the response is that this isn't covered - even under my Nissan Certified extended warranty purchase

I have had my 2017 Nissan Maxima since 2018. It had 29,963 miles when I purchased it. Since I have had it I put 33,000 miles on it and had all of the recommended service done on at the dealership. This would include having the transmission flushed at 32000 miles. My car currently has 62000 miles on it and the CVT transmission has been slipping and the car shudders at low speeds. I took it to the dealership and they told me that it needed to be replaced. I really feel that Nissan needs to investigate how many transmissions have issues with this low mileage. The standard warranty on the power-train is 60,000 miles, how convenient for them.

Car will auto break without another vehicle around it (in front or behind) causing the car to loose all power for a undermined amount or time before the collision censer comes on and detects a accident w-without there actually being one.

I have been taken my vehicle back and forth for the airbag lights coming on and staying on. They have changed the driver side seatbelt in which they installed in wrong and I had to take it back. Every time they say they fixed the problem, within a few weeks the airbag lights come back on. They have told my husband to check the wiring under the passenger seat, and when I took it back due to the airbag lights still staying on. They say they fixed the problem. This last time I took it back, now they are saying I need to replace the whole driver side seat. Saying something in the seat cushion is faulty, which is why the airbag light stays on.

I was driving home from Durango, CO when I hear a big bang, I pulled over to see that my panoramic sunroof exploded. There no debris that flew and hit my car, it just exploded for no reason at all. We called Nissan of Durango where it was purchased as of today we have not heard back from them. This incident took place on 3/5/22 around 3:14 pm. There was no oncoming car, there was a vehicle in the right lane, three land highway. I was going the speed limit of 65 at the time of explosion. It was snowing slightly, but not sticking to the highway. our claim number is 22-7318190 with Progressive Insurance.

I purchased my car brand new and the leather is cracking insanely. I have met others with the same model and the leather has torn on the seats and arm rest. The leather isn't durable. It's a insult to have such a new car that has these defects. The interrupted leather causes damage to your body whenever you utilize the affected areas which will result in other problems in the near future

Is experiencing banging sound coming from rear suspension under the car. Banging noise when going over bumps ,fighting to control vehicle at moderate speeds. Car was brought new, only as 54k miles. I feel I'm being stalled until warranty expires at 60k miles please help.

From a complete stop and in stop and go highway traffic, the car failed to accelerate. The gas pedal was pressed as far as possible but the car would not accelerate. This is dangerous because the issue occurs without any warning and I could have been hit by oncoming traffic. I had the car checked at a Nissan dealership, they kept the car for abour 6 days, they could not replicate the issue and the car did not give a code, so there were no repairs. The issue occured again 5 days later while trying to make a left turn from a traffic light. The car barely acclerated to 9mph. Since the car does not give an error code, the dealership said they could not make any repairs. This issue was also reported to Nissan Consumer Product customer service, who referred me back to the dealership. So no resolutions for this issue.

Nissan has a large issue with the quarter panel moldings. They are a design flaw and come off very easily in car washes or even brushing snow off your car. They will become loose or completely off. If they become loose and you are on the highway like I was and it went flying off the car at highway speed. That clearly is a safety concern that Nissan has been avoiding. However, they are now re-drilling a hole and attaching a new version of the molding. At the owners cost!!! It wasn't an issue but now you are changing the way you attach the new ones? Very odd and they state it's not a safety concern. I beg to differ if you are the car on the highway behind someone's that is loose and comes flying at you. I have read numerous blogs of owners complaining of the same issue. I think we need to get this addressed or see about a class action lawsuit because the way Nissan is reacting to this isn't right.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 NISSAN MAXIMA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE REAR PANORAMIC MOON ROOF EXPLODED WITHOUT IMPACT. STARTLED BY THE FAILURE, THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OFF TO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY TO INSPECT THE DAMAGE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO VALLEY NISSAN OF LONGMONT (1005 KEN PRATT BLVD, LONGMONT, CO 80501) WHERE HE WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE THAT AN IMPACT HAD CAUSED THE MOON ROOF TO EXPLODE. THERE WAS NO ADDITIONAL ASSISTANCE PROVIDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. THERE WAS NO ADDITIONAL ASSISTANCE PROVIDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,800.

I PURCHASED NEW VEHICLE MARCH 10TH THE TIRE PRESSURE CAME ON SOON AS I PURCHASED I TOOK THE CAR BACK IT TO BIG O DODGE GET CHECKED OUT BUT THEY TOLD ME THEY DID NOT KNOW AND TO TAKE IT BY THE NISSAN DEALER. I WENT TO THE NISSAN SERVICE AND ALL FOUR TIRE SENSORS WERE BAD AND NEEDED TO BE FIXED THE DEALER (BIG O DODGE)WOULD NOT HELP. THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY DID NOT BELIEVE ME OR THE NISSAN SERVICE DEPARTMENT. I ALSO NOTICED THAT THE FRONT GRILLE AREA OF MY CAR HAD SMALL DAMAGE THAT THEY WOULD NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THAT AS WELL.

PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED A LOUD WHISTLING SOUND COMING FROM THE SUNROOF OUTSIDE OF NORMAL WIND NOISES. THIS SOUND OCCURS DAILY. IT APPEARS THAT IT IS NOT SEALED PROPERLY AND WILL EVENTUALLY LEAD TO LEAKS. THE DEALERSHIP WAS ABLE TO HEAR THE NOISE AS WELL AND EVEN PUSH MY SUNROOF OPEN FURTHER WITH THEIR HANDS. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH ONLINE, THIS SEEM TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH NISSAN MAXIMA. THERE IS AN ENTIRE MAXIMA FORUM ONLINE DISCUSSING THIS ISSUE WITH CUSTOMERS COMPLAINING OF WATER DAMAGE DUE TO IT NOT BEING SEALED PROPERLY. CAR WAS INFESTED WITH SPIDERS RIGHT AFTER PURCHASE AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THEY WERE GETTING IN FROM THE SUNROOF.

A VEHICLE PULLED OUT INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND WAS STRUCK MY VEHICLE. MY VEHICLE SUSTAINED FRONT-END DAMAGE THAT TOTALLED MY CAR OUT. MY AIRBAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY.

2017 NISSAN MAXIMA SL. HAD ABS RECALL SERVICED AT TIM DAHLE NISSAN OF OREM, UTAH. RETRIEVED CAR AFTER SERVICE WAS COMPLETED AND SHORTLY AFTER, MY FRY INTO EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM DEACTIVATES AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 5-8 MINUTES EVERY TIME I GET IN MY CAR. WHEN I TURN OFF MY CAR AND RESTART MY CAR, IT WORKS AGAIN. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE WORK WAS PERFORMED AND THEY STATED FIXING THE RECALL WOULD NOT HAVE CAUSED THIS ISSUE AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK $1XX.XX AND I DON'T RECALL THE ESTIMATED PRICES SHE STATED FOR THE SENSORS, BRACKETS, AND LABOR. I WILL BE CONTACTING NISSAN THEMSELVES TO SEE WHAT OPTION ARE SINCE OTHER 2017 NISSAN MAXIMA OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE.

PURCHASED 2017 NISSAN MAXIMA AT PASSPORT OF MARLOW HEIGHTS ON 3/17/20. TOOK CAR TO FIRST SERVICE AT PASSPORT ON 6/22/20 FOR OIL CHANGE & TIRE ROTATION. AFTER FURTHER ISSUES WITH MY FRONT LEFT WHEEL AND GOING TO SHEEHY OF WALDORF FOR MY SECOND SERVICE I DISCOVERED THAT PASSPORT OF MARLOW HEIGHTS SERVICE ADVISOR DID NOT NOTIFY ME OF "THE LEFT WHEEL STUD ISSUE" WHILE PURCHASING THE CAR AND UNTIL A WEEK AFTER MY INITIAL SERVICE VISIT OF 6/22/20. THE SERVICE ADVISOR AT PASSPORT REPORTED A INCORRECT SERVICE DATE OF 6/25/20 TO COVER UP THE LATE MULTI-POINT "LUG NUT" NOTIFICATION. ON 1/8/2021 2ND SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE AT SHEEHY OF WALDORF, I REQUESTED OIL CHANGE, TIRE ROTATE, 4-WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND BALANCE. SHEEHY FOUND: LUG NUTS WERE CROSSED THREADED WHICH CAUSED STUDS TO BE MESSED UP AS WELL. SHEEHY "REPLACED 2 LUG NUTS AND 2 STUDS ON DRIVER FRONT TIRE." FOR AN ADDED AMOUNT OF $251.53. I LEFT SHEEHY OF WALDORF AFTER MY SERVICE AND AS I ACCELERATED, I FELT STRONG VIBRATION AT EACH INTERVAL, I RETURNED TO SHEEHY AND ASKED FOR SOMEONE TO RIDE WITH ME. A SHOP FOREMAN DROVE MY CAR AND HE FELT THE VIBRATION AT EACH INTERVAL. THE FOREMAN TOOK VEHICLE BACK IN GARAGE AND INSPECTED WHEELS "& FOUND THAT THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL HAS BEEN WELDED & THE WELD HAS SPLIT & CRACKED. THE OTHER 3 WHEELS HAVE BENDS IN THE WHEEL & OUT OF ROUND" VIDEO & PHOTO PROVIDED BY SHEEHY. SHEEHY ALSO INFORMED THAT AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON: TOOK CAR BACK TO PASSPORT TO RE-INSPECT WHEELS/RIM/AIR BAG ISSUES THEY CREATED AND AFTER FURTHER RESEARCH I FOUND: AIR BAG RECALL: REPORT RECEIPT DATE: APR 26, 2016 NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V244000 COMPONENT(S): AIR BAGS - AIR BAGS: SENSOR: OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION. NOW - PASSPORT IS STATING THAT MY AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON BECAUSE "RODENTS HAVE CHEWED THRU MY WIRES IN MY ENGINE HARNESS. BASED ON MY RESEARCH PASSPORT KNEW ABOUT THIS ISSUE, DEALER DIDN'T DISCLOSE ACCIDENT.

FOR A FEW MONTHS, WHENEVER I DRIVE ON THE FREEWAY, TYPICALLY FOR MORE THAN 30 MIN, THE SENSOR WITH THE TWO CARS COLLIDING TURNS ON WITH A BEEP SOUND. IT TURNS OFF AFTER I TURN OFF THE CAR BUT WILL TURN ON AFTER DRIVING FOR MORE ON THE FREEWAY. I'VE BEEN DRIVING WITH TURNS OR HILLS AND COULD BE A PART OF IT BUT I'M NOT SURE. AFTER 3 YEARS OF HAVING THE CAR, IT STARTED DOING THAT. THE ABS WAS ALREADY CHANGED AS PART OF A RECALL AND I DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE. I SEE THAT ANOTHER PERSON HAS REPORTED THIS ISSUE AT THE FOLLOWING LINK. I TALKED TO MY DEALER AND THEY DON'T KNOW ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND A SCANNER DOESN'T PICK UP A CODE SINCE THE CAR HAS TO BE OFF AND THE LIGHT TURNS OFF WHENEVER I TURN OFF THE CAR. I DON'T KNOW WHERE EXACTLY THE ISSUE COULD BE, SENSOR, IF SO WHICH SENSOR, OR A PART. HTTP://WWW.ARFC.ORG/COMPLAINTS/2017/NISSAN/MAXIMA/11202864.ASPX

THE PASSENGER SIDE PILLAR MOLDING CONTINUES TO FLY OFF WHEN I AM DRIVING MY VEHICLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE SEPARATE TIMES. THE MOLDING HIT MY WINDSHIELD TWICE WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND ALMOST CAUSED ME TOO WRECK, AS WELL AS THE OTHER VEHICLES ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS IS UNSAFE AND SHOULD BE CORRECTED. NOT TO MENTION THAT IT COST ME $150 EACH TIME IT HAS TO BE REPLACED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 NISSAN MAXIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE COSMETIC REAR FENDER AND WINDSHIELD PLASTIC MOLDING LOOSENED AND EXPANDED TO THE REAR WINDSHIELD. THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR AND PASSENGER'S SIDE FRONT DOOR WERE ALSO LOOSENED. THE CONTACT BECAME AWARE OF THE FAILURE WHILE DRIVING. THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE WHILE DRIVING AND LOCATED THE POINT OF FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN UNKNOWN DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE REPLACEMENT PART WOULD NOT FIT ON THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THE MOLDING PART WAS MODIFIED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT SOME DRILLING WAS NECESSARY TO INSTALL THE MOLDING ON THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE AND DECLINED TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE STATING THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 41,000.

THE LEFT AND RIGHT REAR FENDER MOULDING IS FALLING OFF OF MY VEHICLE. THIS IS A TRIM PIECE THAT CONNECTS THE REAR FENDER AND THE ROOF. THIS PIECE IS ABOUT 26" LONG. THE PLASTIC CLIPS THAT HOLD IT ON ARE FAILING AND THE LEFT PIECE HAS FALLEN OFF WHILE DRIVING, AND THE RIGHT PIECE IS LOOSE AND FAILING. THIS IS A HAZARD AND MANY OTHER OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME EXPERIENCE.

I WAS DRIVING THIS MORNING ON THE WAY TO WORK TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY AROUND 5:43 AM; AND I HEARD A LOUD BANG SOUNDING LIKE A SHOTGUN. IT SCARED ME TO DEATH AS I SWERVED AND HEARD WIND NOISE AS IF MY WINDOWS WERE DOWN. AND ALSO COULD HEAR GLASS FALLING ONTO MY SUNROOF SHADE. I FOUND A SAFE PLACE TO PULL OVER AND SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AND WHOA AND BEHOLD MY SUNROOF HAS SHATTERED. IF THE SHADE WAS OPEN THEN THE SHATTERED GLASS COULD HAVE FALEN ON ME POSSIBLY GETTING INTO MY EYES AND CAUSING AN ACCIDENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 NISSAN MAXIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAGS WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO LYNCHBURG NISSAN (18588 FOREST RD, FOREST, VA 24551, (434) 216-3326) AND THE MECHANIC RESET THE AIR BAGS WARNING LIGHT HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE CONTACT RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO THE SAME DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE OCS UNIT AND SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT CONFIRMED THAT THEIR VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V244000 (AIR BAGS). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 38,400. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED.

1) THE FRONT RADAR OBSTRUCTION WARNING COMES ON RANDOMLY WHEN THERE IS NO OBSTRUCTION WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. 2) DRIVER SIDE DOOR LOCK STOPS WORKING FOR DAYS (THIS IS THE 5TH TIME AND I HAVE REPORTED IT TO ORR NISSAN IN SEARCY,AR) STARTED MESSING UP WHILE THERE WAS STILL WARRANTY BUT THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG DUE TO IT NOT MESSING UP WHEN THEY COULD GET IT IN TO LOOK AT. THE KEY FOB, OUTSIDE BUTTON, AND INSIDE BUTTON WORKS ALL OTHER DOOR LOCKS EXCEPT DRIVER DOOR- HAVE TO USE THE KEY TO UNLOCK/LOCK DRIVER DOOR. CAN HEAR THE PART INSIDE THE DOOR REACTING IN A SLOW MANNER PRIOR TO IT NOT WORKING. VERY AGGRAVATING WHEN HAS BEEN REPORTED MANY, MANY TIMES AND NOT BEING FIXED DUE TO IT NOT MESSING UP AT APPOINTMENTS. TRIED TO GET AN APPOINTMENT TODAY WHILE IT'S MESSING UP BUT WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE NEXT WEEK BEFORE IT CAN BE LOOKED AT (PROBABLY WON'T BE MESSED UP THEN!) *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE FORWARD EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON. AFTER IT COMES ON THERE IS A REDUCTION OF POWER. IT DISABLES CRUISE CONTROL. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET OR WHEN YOU GO TO TAKE OFF. *TR

I PURCHASED 2017 NISSAN MAXIMA SV ON JANUARY 23, 2019 WITH 40,584. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, POST PURCHASE, UNSURE OF DATE, "FRONT RADAR OBSTRUCTION" BEGAN APPEARING ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. ON JUNE 27, 2019 A LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP DOCUMENTED RADAR DISTANCE SENSOR REQUIRES REPLACEMENT.. *TR

PURCHASED CAR NEW WITH 9 MILES. DAY TWO OWING CAR, SWAY BAR HAD TO BE REPLACE BUT WAS FIXED. THE ISSUE IS THE REAR END OF THE CAR SAGS WHEN THERE IS EITHER BACK SEAT PASSENGERS OR WEIGHT IN THE TRUNK NOW. AFTER THE FIRST MONTH OF OWING THE CAR, THERE HAS BEEN AND STILL IS A CLINGING/CLANGING NOISE FROM THE REAR SUSPENSION AREA. WHILE THE CAR HAD THE ORIGINAL FACTORY WARRANTY, MULTIPLE NISSAN DEALERSHIPS COULD NOT FIND ANY ISSUES THAT WERE VISIBLE. IN SEPTEMBER OF 2019, NISSAN STATE'S I NEED NEW REAR SHOCKS TO FIX THE ISSUE. AFTER PURCHASING THE NEW SHOCKS FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND GETTING THEM INSTALLED, ISSUE STILL EXIST AND IT'S WORSE NOW THAN BEFORE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 NISSAN MAXIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FORWARD COLLISION WARNING LIGHT WAS CONSTANTLY ILLUMINATED. ADDITIONALLY, THE CRUISE CONTROL FUNCTION WAS INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. AN UNKNOWN DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALSO CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

I HAVE HAD MY 2017 MAXIMA INTO THE DEALERSHIP ( TIM DAHLE IN SALT LAKE CITY UT) ON 10-22 2019 FOR AN ANTI-FREEZE PROBLEM. THE ANTI-FREEZE IS BEING USED BUT NOT LEAKING ANYWHERE. THEY REPLACED THE RADIATOR CAP AND DID NOT SEE ANY NOTICEABLE LEAKS , TOPPED OFF THE COOLING SYSTEM AND SAID COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM, SAID IT WAS NORMAL FOR THE HOLDING TANK ON THE SIDE TO BE LOW. I DISAGREED AND THOUGHT IT WAS AN INTERNAL PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE, THEY SAID COULD SEE NO PROBLEM. A MONTH LATER I HAVE NO ANTI-FREEZE IN MY RESERVE TANK AFTER DRIVING ONLY ABOUT 50 MILES AROUND TOWN. WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT THE CAR NEW I NOTICED IT WAS LOW ON ANTI-FREEZE, A YEAR AGO I TOOK IT IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE THEY TOPPED OFF ANTI-FREEZE AND IT HAS BEEN LEAKING FROM THE DAY I BOUGHT IT, THEY SAY THAT IS NORMAL AND I DISAGREE. MY WARRANTY IS UP IN JUNE OF 2020.

NISSAN MAXIMA SUNROOF BROKE FROM WEATHER CHANGES AND RESULTED IN A LARGE CRACK AND HOLE IN THE CENTER. REALIZED AS I WAS DRIVING BY HEARING WIND IN THE CAR. HAPPENED WHILE STATIONARY

WHAT CAUSES MY 2017 MAXIMA'S BLIND SPOT WARNING SYSTEM TO RANDOMLY TURN OFF THEN BACK ON HOURS LATER? COULD FAULTY RADARS IN NISSAN'S EMERGENCY BRAKING KILL PEOPLE? THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AS YOU RELY ON THESE SENSOR WHEN DRIVING AND THIS CAN CAUSE FATAL ACCIDENTS. WHEN THIS BSW SYSTEM FAILED, I DID CYCLE THE BLIND SPOT OFF THEN BACK ON AGAIN TO NO AVAIL. I DID EXPERIENCE THIS PROBLEMS WITHIN THE 1ST YEAR BUT I CHALKED UP TO MY NEWNESS TO THE CAR AND BRAND. WHAT IS NISSAN WILLING TO DO RESOLVE THIS UNSAFE SITUATION? TONY IN OHIO, USA

I HAVE AN OBD READING OF P0171 P0174 P219B AFTER I CHANGED THE BATTERY ON IT.

DRIVER SEATBELT INDICATOR DOES NOT CHIME OR DISPLAY WHEN BELT IS UNBUCKLED. ONLY WORKS FOR THE PASSENGER.

THE FRONT RADAR SENSOR DEACTIVATES ON MANY DIFFERENT OCCASIONS NO MATTER WHAT THE WEATHER IS. IT STATES THAT IT IS UNAVAILABLE DUE TO RADAR OBSTRUCTION BUT THERE IS NOTHING BLOCKING THE RADAR. THE AEB WILL AUTOMATICALLY ENGAGE WITHOUT WARNING FOR NO REASON. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES, ONCE WHILE I WAS ON A HIGHWAY. I TOOK THE CAR IN THE FIRST IN MARCH 2019. TODAY WHEN I TOOK THE CAR IN I WAS TOLD BY SERVICE PERSONNEL THAT HE COULD NOT GUARANTEE THAT IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN, AND HE HATES TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS THIS WINTER.

I PURCHASE THE MAXIMA CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED ON JUNE 2017. IN SEPTEMBER 2018, I NEEDED TO HAVE THE DISTANCE SENSOR ARRAY REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. IN JULY 2019, I NEEDED TO HAVE THE SAME DISTANCE SENSOR ARRAY REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. WHY DOES THIS KEEP FAILING? THIS SENSOR CONTROLS THE EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM AND THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL. THE CAR WILL NOT OPERATE AS ADVERTISED IF THIS SENSOR IS NOT WORKING. SOON MY WARRANTY WILL EXPIRE AND I WILL NEED TO REPLACE THIS EVERY YEAR?

"TAKATA RECALL" I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2017 NISSAN MAXIMA SV AND SINCE I HAVE ACQUIRED THIS VEHICLE I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY BRAKES. AS I AM DRIVING THE CAR THE BRAKES MAKE A GRINDING NOISE. I HAVE TAKING THE CAR FOR MAINTENANCE ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASION AT POHANKA NISSAN (WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR) AND COLONIAL NISSAN. BOTH PLACES CONVEYED TO ME THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY BRAKES BUT EITHER LOCATION DID NOT DRIVE THE CAR. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR A NEWER MODEL VEHICLE TO EXPERIENCE SUCH A DEFECTIVE ISSUE. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND I FEAR THAT MY BRAKES WILL GIVE OUT WHILE MY FAMILY AND I ARE DRIVING. I HAVE NEVER FILLED OUT A COMPLAINT BEFORE FOR MY NISSANS VEHICLES BUT I AM A FAITHFUL NISSAN BUYER THAT WOULD LIKE THIS ISSUE RESOLVED.

AFTER NUMEROUS VISITS TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP WITHOUT GETTING ANSWERS AND CLEARLY EXPLAINING THAT MY CAR IS EXPERIENCING CVT JUDDER AND VIBRATIONS. I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THE VIBRATIONS AS TOLD TO NISSAN FOR AWHILE BUT I DON'T THINK THEY WANTED TO REPLACE MY CVT TRANSMISSION SINCE IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY SO I WAS TOLD THE NOISE AND VIBRATIONS WERE NORMAL CVT CHATTER. I AM NOW PAST MY EXTENDED WARRANTY AND THE JUDDER AND VIBRATIONS HAVE ONLY GOTTEN WORSE. THE 2017 MAXIMA NEEDS TO BE ADDED TO THE VOLANTARY SERVICE BULLETINS LIKE THE 2016 DUE TO ALL THE COMPLAINTS ITS CURRENTLY ALREADY RECEIVING. MY MAXIMA NOW HAS 112,000K MILES BUT I HAVE BEEN SEEING THE SYMPTOMS SINCE AROUND 70K-80K MILES TO ONLY BE TOLD TIME AND TIME AGAIN ITS NORMAL WITH A POSSIBLE $3,700 TRANSMISSION BILL AWAITING ME FOR A CAR THAT HAS ONLY BEEN DRIVEN ON THE HIGHWAY LESS THAN 3 YEARS. NISSAN HAS SHOWN THAT THEIR CVT TRANSMISSIONS ARE EXTREMELY UNRELIABLE.

FRONT FORWARD COLLISION SENSOR AUTOMATICALLY ENGAGED EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM WITHOUT ANY OBSTRUCTION BEING IN THE ROADWAY WHICH CAUSED A SUDDEN UNSAFE LOCKUP OF THE BRAKES. I WAS ON A LARGE AIRPORT PARKING RAMP IN MOTION. THERE IS ALSO NUMEROUS TIMES WHEN THE FRONT RADAR SENSOR DEACTIVATES AND SAYS UNAVAILABLE DUE TO FRONT RADAR OBSTRUCTION.

AIRBAGS ARE OFF AND I DID NOT TURN THEM OFF. I AM CONCERNED DUE TO THE RECALLS

THIS ISSUE IS INTERMITTENT, HAS BEEN CHECKED SEVERAL TIMES BY MY DEALER AND DOES NOT SHOW UP IN ANY ERRORS. THE CAR WILL STALL AT RANDOM TIMES. IT STARTED OUT MOSTLY WHEN I STOPPED ACCELERATING, EITHER WHEN STOPPED AT A LIGHT OR TURNING A CORNER. OCCASIONALLY WILL STALL WHILE DRIVING. USUALLY IT IS VERY BRIEF BUT OCCASIONALLY TAKES A FEW SECONDS TO RE ENGAGE. ONLY ONCE ON THE FREEWAY BUT PRIMARILY ON CITY STREETS. I AM REPORTING THIS TODAY BUT IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING INTERMITTENTLY SAVE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE SINCE MAY 2018.

AEB SYSTEM STOP MY CAR IN THE MIDDLE ON THE FREEWAY

WHEN STOPPING FROM 55MPH DOWN BRAKES START SHAKING, PEDAL STARTS SHAKING FEELS LIKE THIS AINCE THE FIRST WEEK OF BUYING THE VEHICLE

MY VEHICLE SQUEAKS SO BAD. I'VE HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH MY BRAKES SINCE I PURCHASE IT BRAND NEW. SO I TOOK IT BACK AND FORWARD TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR OVER A YEAR AND NOTHING WAS DONE THEN FINALLY THEY DID A FULL FRONT AND BACK BREAK JOB, HAD THE ROTORS TURNED AND THE VEHICLE IS STILL SQUEAKING BADLY. THE DEALERSHIP KEEPS TELLING ME THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING BUT SOMETHING IS WRONG. I'M AFRAID TO GO FAR IN MY CAR BECAUSE OF SAFETY CONCERNS. PROBLEM ACQUIRES WHEN BRAKING.

MY DAUGHTER PARKED MY CAR OUTSIDE AT APPROX. 10:30 P.M. AT 2:05 A.M, IT IGNITED AND EXPLODED. MY STATE FARM INVESTIGATOR SAID IT IGNITED DUE TO ABS ACTUATOR LEAKING BRAKE FLUID ONTO THE CIRCUIT BOARD. I CALLED NISSAN BECAUSE THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS BUT THEY CLAIM MY CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I HAD RECENTLY PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND ONLY HAD IT LIKE 20 DAYS. CAR WAS TOTALED! *DT CONSUMER STATED FORMER LICENSED CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTOR, AND A CERTIFIED FIRE INVESTIGATOR SPECIALIZING IN FIRE ORIGIN AND CAUSE INVESTIGATION, AND CONSULTATION. HE ALREADY INSPECTED MY CAR AND TOLD ME MY CAR IGNITED AND EXPLODED BECAUSE THE ABS ACTUATOR PUMP LEAKED BRAKE FLUID ONTO THE INTERNAL CIRCUIT BOARD WHICH STARTED THE FIRE. *JB

FRONT RADAR OBSTRUCTION: FRONT DISTANCE/RADAR SENSOR DEACTIVATES LEAVING THE VEHICLE WITHOUT THE COLLISION SAFETY FEATURES (FORWARD COLLISION WARNING, AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING AND INTELLIGENT CRUISE CONTROL). THE SYSTEM WILL DEACTIVATE EITHER WHILE DRIVING OR WHEN STOPPED AT A LIGHT. THE CAUSE SEEMS TO BE WHEN A VEHICLE IN THE LANE IN FRONT OF MY CAR MOVES INTO OR OUT OF THE LANE, I CHANGE LANES WITH A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME, OR SOMETIMES WHEN THE VEHICLE IN FRONT HAS MOVED OUT OF RANGE. THE SYSTEM FAULTS ARE MORE PREVALENT DURING RAINING WEATHER, BUT HAS BEEN GETTING WORSE EVEN ON CLEAR SUNNY DAYS. THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED THE DISTANCE/RADAR SENSOR AND OTHER ABS MODULES BUT HAS NOT REMEDIED THE SYSTEM FAULTS. THE DEALERSHIP CONTACTED THE NISSAN MOTOR CORPORATION ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT WHICH DOES NOT HAVE A CURRENT FIX FOR THE PROBLEM AND INSTRUCTED THE DEALERSHIP TO 'TELL THE CUSTOMER THAT NISSAN WOULD CONTACT ME ONCE THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED'. AFTER 10 MONTHS, I AM STILL WAITING FOR NISSAN TO CALL, AND TO DELIVER A VERIFIED FIX TO THE COLLISION SAFETY FEATURES ON THE 2017 NISSAN MAXIMA. BY THE WAY, DURING MY MULTIPLE VISITS TO THE DEALERSHIP, I HAVE DRIVEN MULTIPLE LOANER VEHICLES (VARIOUS MODELS) WHICH EXHIBIT THE SAME OR SIMILAR SAFETY ISSUES WITH THE COLLISION SAFETY FEATURES ON NISSAN VEHICLES FROM 2016 THROUGH 2018.

NAVAGATION DASHBOARD BLINKING IN AND OUT NOW WONT COME BACK ON, BRAKING IS SLUGGISH

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 NISSAN MAXIMA. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 30 MPH, THE PRECEDING VEHICLE MADE A SUDDEN LEFT TURN. THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL, BUT CRASHED INTO THE VEHICLE TURNING LEFT INTO MAXIMA'S PATH. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 26,000. *TT THE VEHICLE WAS DETERMINED TO BE A TOTAL LOSS. FIRE DEPT RESPONDED YO CLEAN UP RADIATOR FLUID SPILL AND OTHER FLUID REPAIR. *JB

WHILE DRIVING ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET MY CAR JOLTED TO A STOP BY ITSELF. THERE WERE NO CARS IN FRONT OF ME AND NO REASON FOR THE AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM TO TAKE CONTROL. AFTER MY CAR CAME TO A STOP IT WOULDN'T MOVE FOR A FEW SECONDS.

"TAKATA RECALL", I'VE OWNED MY CAR FOR 10 MONTHS AND I HAVE BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR 6 OF THEM, AND TODAY NEED TO GO BACK BECAUSE MORE NOISE.

TAKATA RECALL, MY TIRES KEEP POPPING AND THIS ISNT NORMAL. THIS IS THE 4TH TIME THIS YEAR I HAVE TO CHANGE THE WHEELS. NOT ONLY THAT BUT THE TIRE PRESSURE KEEPS CONSTANTLY GOING LOW EVERY DAY.

CAR WON'T STOP WHEN STEPPING ON BRAKES

MINIMAL ACCELERATION SOMETIMES. VEHICLE ACTS AS IF SLIPPING GEARS, OR TOTALLY LOSES POWER. ACCELERATION ISSUES HAPPEN FROM BOTH STOPPED AND HIGHWAY DRIVING CONDITIONS.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE WHERE IT STARTED TO RAIN AND I HYDROPLANED SLIGHTLY, SO I LET OFF THE GAS AND RECOVERED TO A STOP. THE SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS THEN DEPLOYED DUE TO A "TILT ANGLE" BEING SENSED, WHILE ALL FOUR TIRES WERE STILL IN CONTACT WITH THE GROUND. THE VEHICLE HAD NO IMPACT, NO TILT, AND NO DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE. I WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE AND DRIVE THE VEHICLE HOME WITH THE AIRBAGS TAPED TO THE CEILING. THE CAR WAS THEN SUBSEQUENTLY DRIVEN TO THE DEALERSHIP APPROXIMATELY 50 MILES AWAY WITH NO ISSUE. I SUBMIT THE VEHICLE TO NISSAN TO ANALYZE WHY THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED, AND INFORMATION WAS PULLED FROM THE EDR. ALL I WAS TOLD WAS THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED WITHIN AN ALLOWABLE TIME FROM A "TILT ANGLE" BEING RECORDED. WHEN QUESTIONED, THE REPRESENTATIVE COULD NOT TELL ME HOW LONG THAT ALLOWABLE TIMEFRAME WAS, WHY A TILT ANGLE WAS RECORDED WHEN ALL FOUR TIRES WERE STILL IN CONTACT WITH THE GROUND, AND COULD NOT TELL ME IF THE SENSORS THAT SEND DATA TO THE EDR WERE FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY (BUT I COULD PAY TO HAVE MY OWN DIAGNOSTICS RUN). ALSO, ACCORDING THE THE EDR REPORT, IN THE "PRE-CRASH" INFORMATION BEFORE THE EVENT OCCURRED, IT SHOWED THE VEHICLE HAD ALREADY COME TO A FULL STOP PRIOR TO THE EVENT. I HAVE HAD PREVIOUS MINOR ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE RELATED TO THE RADIO AND MILEAGE TRACKING RESETTING THEMSELVES, WHICH I HAD RELATED TO NISSAN DURING THE INVESTIGATION, AS WELL AS THE DRIVER SIDE AUTOMATIC WINDOW FALLING OPEN IN THE TRACK WHEN I SHUT THE DOOR. THIS INVESTIGATION HAS TAKEN TWO MONTHS, WITHOUT ANY EFFORT ON NISSAN'S PART TO CONTACT ME WITH ANY UPDATES. THE DEALERSHIP WAS ALSO TOLD NOT TO TOUCH THE VEHICLE TO EVEN THINK ABOUT REPAIRS, DURING WHICH TIME I AM STILL EXPECTED TO MAKE PAYMENTS ON A VEHICLE I DON'T HAVE IN MY POSSESSION.

APPLIED BRAKES IN EMERGENCY SITUATION. ABS SYSTEM FAILED TO OPERATE AND ALL FOUR WHEELS LOCKED AND CAR SLID INTO OTHER VEHICLE. ALSO CAR EQUIPPED WITH BRAKE ASSIST IT TO FAILED TO OPERATE.

THE LEFT SIDE MIRROR ON THE DRIVER SIDE IS BLOCKING THE VIEW OF THE ROAD AND PEOPLE CROSSING THE HIKE MAKING LEFT TURN. I WAS AT A SIGNAL AND WAITING FOR YIELD TO TURN LEFT AND AT THE TURNING THE DRIVER SIDE MIRROR OBJECTED THE VIEW AND COMPLETELY MISSED A WALKER CROSSING THE ROAD UNTIL SHE WAS ALMOST HEAD ON..DIAGONAL LEFT VIEWS FROM DRIVER SIDE ARE BLOCKED

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 NISSAN MAXIMA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION. AUTONATION NISSAN MEMPHIS (4140 HACKS CROSS RD, MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE 38125) WAS NOTIFIED, BUT COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE DEALER REQUESTED THAT THE FAILURE BE CAUGHT ON VIDEO. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,500.

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE, THE TIRE SUDDENLY BLEW OUT. IT ONLY HAD 15000 MILES ON IT. THE CAR ONLY HAD 6 MILES WHEN I PURCHASED IT IN 2017

THE CAR IS BECOMES UNSTABLE AND DIFFICULT TO CONTROL WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS, EVEN AT MODERATE SPEEDS (20+ MPH). WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS, THERE IS A LOUD THUMP / CLUNK / BANG FROM THE REAR SUSPENSION - AND THEN THE REAR OF THE CAR LOOSES TRACTION/STABILITY. NISSAN MUST BE AWARE OF A DESIGN ISSUE ISSUE AS IT HAS ISSUED A TSB TRYING TO SOLVE THE INFERIOR BUSHINGS IT CHOSE FOR THE REAR SUSPENSION - SERVICE BULLETIN NTB17-107. HOWEVER THIS DOES NOT SOLVE THE INSTABILITY PROBLEM. I FIND MYSELF DRIVING AT HALF THE LEGAL SPEEDS TO KEEP THE CAR STABLE - THE NEED TO SLOW DOWN FOR EACH BUMP IS CREATING A ROAD HAZARD. DRIVING ON THE SAME ROADS WITH MY OTHER CARS AT MUCH HIGHER SPEEDS (ROAD LEGAL SPEEDS), I DO NOT EXPERIENCE ANYTHING LIKE THAT. THE STABILITY CONTROL FUNCTION DOES NOT SEEM TO HELP AND IT LIGHTS UP FREQUENTLY WHEN DRIVING ON BUMPY ROADS. I FOUND MYSELF VEERING OF THE ROAD SEVERAL TIMES BECAUSE OF THE DIFFICULTY TO CONTROL THE CAR. THIS MUST BE A TERRIBLE AND DANGEROUS DESIGN FLAW. IN ROADS THAT I CAN DRIVE THE LEGAL SPEED IN A HYUNDAI SONANA OR TOYOTA 4RUNNER (45 - 65MPH) I SOMETIMES NEED TO CUT SPEED IN HALF WHEN DRIVING THE NISSAN MAXIMA SR JUST TO KEEP THE CAR STABLE ON THE ROAD.

REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR FAILS TO/DOES NOT CLOSE TIGHTLY/HERMETICALLY. I AM WORRIED THAT THE DOOR/WINDOW WOULD OPEN WHILE DRIVING.

ON 11/13/2017 I USED THE AUTOMATIC STARTER TO START MY CAR FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE AND MY CAR ROLLED BACK INTO MY NEIGHBOR'S SUV WHILE STILL IN PARK. WHEN I WENT OUTSIDE AFTER HEARING THE SOUND OF MY CAR HITTING THE TRUCK I GOT INTO MY CAR AND HAD TO PUT IT IN DRIVE TO MOVE THE CAR BACK INTO MY PARK. MY CAR WAS PARK OUTSIDE OF MY HOUSE AT 14109 CARMODY PL WOODBRIDGE VA 22193.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 NISSAN MAXIMA. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, ANOTHER VEHICLE CROSSED IN FRONT OF THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE OTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE FACE AND NECK THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,000. *BF *JS

TAKATA RECALL

WHILE WAITING AT A INTERSECTION TOO MAKE A TURN, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME VERY STIFF. IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN, AND A RED LIGHT CAME ON INDICATING NO POWER STEERING FLUID. NOTE THE CAR IS A 2017 AND HAS LESS THAN 2,000 MILES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 NISSAN MAXIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THE GLARE FROM THE CHROME ON THE SIDE VENTS BY THE PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE OF THE DASHBOARD WOULD REFLECT IN THE SIDE VIEW MIRRORS OBSTRUCTING THE VIEW. THE CONTACT STATED THEY HAD ADJUSTED THE MIRROR AND THE SEAT HOWEVER THE FAILURE REMAINED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE NISSAN OF ROUTE 46 DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VEHICLE'S SIDE VIEW MIRRORS HAD NO DEFECT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT HAD CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER WHO OPENED UP CASE NUMBER: 27931632 HOWEVER, THE CONTACT HAD NOT HEARD ANYTHING THUS FAR. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,000.

THE STEERING ARM FROM THE RACK TO THE LEFT WHEEL ASSEMBLY JUST SNAPPED WHILE DRIVING ON A SMOOTH CITY STREET AT A LOW SPEED LEAVING THE CAR COMPLETELY OUT OF CONTROL.

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD IN OUR COMMUNITY ALL OF A SUDDEN A LARGE BANG AND OUR SUNROOF EXPLODED.
