I WAS SITTING IN MY CAR IN MY DRIVEWAY WHEN SUDDENLY MY SUNROOF EXPLODED. THE SUNROOF GLASS WAS CLOSED BUT THE ROOF WAS OPEN. MOST OF THE GLASS ENDED UP OUTSIDE THE CAR. IT WAS LIKE IT EXPLODED FROM THE INSIDE OUT. THE GLASS ON THE EDGES WAS BENT UPWARDS. IT WAS LIGHTLY RAINING AND THE TEMPERATURE WAS APPROXIMATELY 60 DEGREES. THANKFULLY I WASN'T DRIVING BECAUSE THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND THEY CLAIM THEY HAVE NOT HEARD OF THIS HAPPENING BEFORE. THE INTERNET SAYS OTHERWISE.....

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN MAXIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE PARKING AT LOW SPEEDS, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED LIGHTLY AND THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED WITH EXTREME FORCE. THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO THE CENTER DRIVER'S SIDE OF ANOTHER VEHICLE CAUSING THAT VEHICLE TO CRASH INTO THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT DOOR OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES REPORTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 26,000. UPDATED 06/14/16*LJ

I WAS DRIVING ALONG THE HIGHWAY ON A SUNNY DAY, ABOUT 75 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT, GOING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH WHEN I HEARD A LOUD EXPLODING TYPE OF NOISE. THE NEXT THING I KNOW I HEAR RATTLING OVERHEAD. I DON'T LIVE FAR FROM WHERE THE INCIDENT HAPPENED SO CONTINUED TO DRIVE .25 MILES APPROXIMATELY TO MY RESIDENCE AND IMMEDIATELY GET OUT TO INSPECT MY VEHICLE. THE SUNROOF WAS SHATTERED INTO A MILLION PIECES AND THERE WAS HUGE HOLE RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF IT. I HAD NOT OPENED THE SUNROOF WHILE DRIVING SO THE VISOR WAS THANKFULLY CLOSED WHEN IT BROKE.

I PURCHASED A 2014 NISSAN MAXIMA IN JANUARY 2015 EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IN MARCH OF 2015 WHERE THE CONSOLE SCREEN (RADIO, HEAT/AC CONTROLS, GAS MILEAGE, ETC.) CONSTANTLY BLACKED OUT/VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL LINES APPEARED. THE SCREEN WAS COMPLETELY REPLACED AND THE REPAIR WAS FIXED BY A LOCAL NISSAN DEALER. AFTER RECEIVING AN OIL CHANGE IN EARLY JULY 2015 (FIRST FREE OIL CHANGE) I NOTICED THAT MY VEHICLE HAD A TICKING AND KNOCKING NOISE/SOUND THAT WAS RATHER LOUD COMING FROM THE ENGINE. I TOOK THE CAR TO A LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH AN ENGINE KNOCK FROM #1 MAIN BEARING. AT THE DEALERSHIP A SERVICE APPOINTMENT WAS SET-UP AND I WAS PROVIDED A SERVICE BULLETIN (TECHNICAL BULLETIN) FROM NISSAN. THE BULLETIN READS AS FOLLOWS: CLASSIFICATION: EM12-014A REFERENCE NTB12-01A DATED DECEMBER 17, 2013 THAT FOR 2009-2014 MAXIMAS HAVE ENGINE KNOCKS FROM #1 MAIN BEARING (ON THIS NOTICE THERE IS A NOTE DO NOT REPLACE THE ENGINE FOR THIS ISSUE). I DID NOT REALIZE THE MAXIMA HAD ENGINE ISSUES. IF I KNEW THIS AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE I WOULD HAVE SELECTED ANOTHER VEHICLE. I HAVE MADE A FORMAL COMPLAINT TO NISSAN REQUESTING THE REPURCHASE OF THIS VEHICLE WITH VARIOUS MANUFACTURE DEFECTS (CURRENTLY WAITING ON A RESPONSE). ADDITIONALLY, I HAVE TRIED TO RECEIVE AN EVEN TRADE FOR A SAFE VEHICLE DUE TO THE MANUFACTURER DEFECTS FROM THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BROUGHT THIS CAR BUT HAVE BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL AT THIS POINT DUE TO THE DEPRECIATION OF THE VEHICLE/CURRENT MANUFACTURER DEFECTS (UNSAFE ENGINE). THIS IS UTTERLY RIDICULOUS FOR A CAR THAT HAS LESS THAN 7,000 MILES TO HAVE SO MANY DEFECTS THAT WAS PURCHASED 6 MONTHS AGO. ANY ASSISTANCE IS GREATLY APPRECIATED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN MAXIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE OVER 30 MPH. THE FAILURE OCCURRED OVER THREE OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,458.

DRIVING DOWN A SNOW/ICE COVERED ROAD, I HEARD A LOW NOISE COME FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF VEHICLE AND STEERING WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT. I DETERMINED IT TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE POWER STEERING. THE BELT IS STILL INTACT AND THERE IS FLUID IN THE RESERVOIR. I AM GOING TO DEALERSHIP TOMORROW TO DIAGNOSE BUT THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AS IS DUE TO NOT BEING ABLE TO REACT TO POSSIBLE ISSUES IN ROADWAY. HARD TO BELIEVE A CAR WITH ONLY 1000 MILES COULD HAVE THIS HAPPEN. *TR

AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT COMES ON IN SUB-ZERO WEATHER AND STAYS ON. DOES NOT GO OFF UNTIL TEMPERATURE WARMS UP. ON 12/31/2014, AT -35 DEGREES THIS OCCURRED AND STAYED ACTIVE MY ENTIRE DRIVE TO WORK. ON 01/01/2015 AT -10 DEGREES THE WARNING LIGHT AGAIN CAME ON AND STAYED ON. THE WARNING LIGHT CLEARS AS SOON AS THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE INCREASES. DEALER WANTS TO SEE CAR AT THEIR FACILITY. BY THE TIME I WOULD GET TO THEIR FACILITY, THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE WILL HAVE RISEN AND THE LIGHT WILL BE OFF. I AM CONCERNED I HAVE NO AIRBAG PROTECTION IN SUB-ZERO CONDITIONS. *TR
