2017 Nissan Maxima UNKNOWN OR OTHER

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.

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?

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.

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 car went full throttle by itself and would not stop.

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.

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.

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.

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 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?

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.

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