This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
In late November 2016 the ABS and other warning lights on my 2016 Nissan Maxima began intermittently appearing on the dashboard. I notified the dealership and was told to mention it during the next service appointment which was scheduled for December 27. At the appointment I was notified of several recalls and the vehicle was kept overnight. When I picked it up the next day the service department indicated that they could not reproduce the issue. I was also notified that there was a recall on an ABS brake actuator pump however the part was back ordered from Nissan. The service department asked me and to take a picture of the dash if the indicator lights appeared again. Approximately 1 week later the lights reappeared and I took the attached photo. I notified the dealership and they indicated they would look at it when the recall part was installed and would schedule an appointment once the part arrived. On January 19, 2017 the car caught fire after sitting for over 2 hours and burned to a total loss. At no time was I notified that the recall was a fire hazard. Since the incident I have filed a case with Nissan however they have taken over a month to respond and by the time they inspect the vehicle it will be over 45 days. The vehicle has been inspected by my insurance company and all indicators point to a defective part.
I just merged onto the highway going I-55 South from countyline rd, when I heard a very loud noise similar to a gun shot in close range and was literally frightening. Then I heard air seeping through my sunroof area so I pulled over on the side of the highway because I started to shake uncontrollablely and I had my 7 month old in the car as well. I was able to look on top of the car and saw that the front sunroof was shattered. I immediately took the vehicle to gray daniels Nissan North in jackson, Ms. They told me that this will have to fall under my insurance but I don't understand why. This is a defect on how this model car handles pressure causing the sunroof to explode! my ears and head are aching due to the explosive sound.
The outside rearview mirrors automatically adjust to a lower view when the car is backing up. When putting the car in D (drive), the mirrors are supposed to return to the normal setting. The driver side mirror does not; it needs to be manually reset each time.
