2017 Nissan Maxima

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.

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 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 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.
