2017 NISSAN MAXIMA Complaints

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
