2017 Nissan Maxima 4 DR FWD

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.
