ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
I WENT IN A RESTAURANT AND WHEN I CAME OUT TO START MY CAR IT WOULD NOT START OUT OF NOW WHERE NO WARNING SIGNS IT JUST MADE SOME CLICKING SOUND LIKE IT WAS ATTEMPTING TO START BUT WOULD NOT CATCH. I REPLACED THE BATTERY BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND IT LACKED POWER. IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PAST 60 WITH IT BEING FLOORED... I HAD DIAGNOSTIC DONE WHICH GAVE ME A COULD THAT THE ECM (ELECTRIC CONTROL MODULE) SHORTED..

I RENTED A NISSAN MAXIMA 2018 FOR A ROAD TRIP. UNFORTUNATELY, I DIDN'T HAVE THE RENTER CAR INSURANCE COVERAGE I DECIDED TO GO WITH MY INSURANCE. HOWEVER, I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE EXPRESS WAY AND I HEARD WHAT SOUNDED LIKE A GUNSHOT THE SUNROOF EXPLODED WITH NO KNOWN EXPLANATION. I WAS DEVASTATED. THERE WERE GLASS FLYING ALL OVER ME AND MY FRIEND WHO WAS WITH ME AT THE TIME. I FEEL LIKE THE CAR WAS A DEFECTIVE CAR AND UNSAFE CAR! THEY ARE NOW MAKING ME RELIABLE IN ALL THE DAMAGE COST TO A VEHICLE THAT I HAD NO CONTROL OVER. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT THAT THERE WERE LAWSUITS FROM NISSAN KNOWN SUNROOF EXPLOSION. I'M NOT SURE IF THERES A RECALL ON THAT PARTICULAR CAR. I NEED SUGGESTIONS AND GUIDANCE. I WISH I NEVER RENTED THAT CAR....

CAR WAS FINE INITIALLY THEN STARTED CAR WHICH TOOK LONGER THAN NORMAL TO START AND CAR WOULD NOT HARDLY GO DUE TO IT NOT BEING IN 1ST GEAR. PUT THE TRANSMISSION INTO MANUAL MODE AND DOWNSHIFTED IT TO FIRST AND GOT A HARD CLUNK BUT CAR WOULD NOW GO UNDER ITS OWN POWER BUT WHEN YOU PUT IT BACK IN AUTO MODE IT GOES STRAIGHT TO 3RD GEAR. SHUT CAR OFF CAME BACK LATER AND STARTED CAR IT STARTED RIGHT UP AND HAD NO ISSUES WITH TRANSMISSION. DROVE IT FOR A BIT TURNED CAR OFF FOR A BIT AND THEN WENT TO START AGAIN AND HAD THE LONG START AND BAD SHIFTS AGAIN.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN 240 IN MEMPHIS AND MY SUN ROOF EXPLODED . IT'S THE PANORAMA SUNROOF. I WASN'T NEAR AN OVER PASS OR NEAR ANYTHING THAT COULD HAVE HIT IT . IT WAS EXTREMELY LOUD. IT SOUNDED LIKE A SHOT GUN BLAST OR SOMETHING . I SWERVED AND ALMOST WRECKED BUT THANKFULLY DID NOT . I HAVE DONE RESEARCH AND SEEN WHERE OVER A HUNDRED PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED OF THE SAME THING HAPPENING WITH THEIR NISSANS AND APPARENTLY IT'S BECAUSE OF THE TEMPERED GLASS THEY USE AND THE AMOUNT OF PRESSURE .

TAMARA RECALL: I WAS DRIVING FROM JACKSONVILLE TO ORLANDO WHEN THE RPMS SUDDENLY DROPPED AND THE CAR LOST SPEED IMMEDIATELY. AS I DEPRESSED THE GAS PEDAL, THE CAR WOULDN'T ACCELERATE NO MATTER HOW HARD I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL. I HAD ENOUGH SPEED TO GET ON THE SHOULDER. I RESTARTED THE CAR AND IT DROVE GOOD FOR ABOUT 5 MINS AND THE THE SAME THING HAPPENED. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE SHOP AND THEY SAID IT'S THE TRANSMISSION. I ONLY HAVE ONE HUNDRED FIVE THOUSAND MILES ON IT AND I STILL OWE 8 THOUSAND BUCKS ON IT.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
IT STARTED WITH THE CAR NOT GOING OVER 40 MPH THE FIRST FEW MINUTES OF DRIVING AND THEN IT WOULD BE OK. I DIDN'T GET CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR ANY WARNING SIGNS, SO I DROVE IT LIKE THAT FOR 5 MONTHS UNTIL THE CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING, AND IT WON'T GO OVER 20 MPH. STILL NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE ENGINE TIMING CHAIN WAS OUT ALONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THE REPAIR COST WAS OVER $8000. A 12 YEAR-OLD CAR WITH 114,000 MILES IS HEADED TO THE JUNK YARD. I WAS THE FIRST AND ONLY OWNER OF THE CAR AND TOOK REALLY GOOD CARE OF IT BUT SAD TO SEE IT GO SO SOON.

THE AIR CONDITIONER STOPPED COOLING WHILE DRIVING. THE TRACTION LIGHT COMES ON AND THE MECHANIC SAID IT WAS THE MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR.(THAT HAVE BEEN REPLACED TWICE) AAMCO SAID THAT THEY HAVE HAD SEVERAL NISSAN ALTIMAS AND MAXIMAS COME IN WITH A BAD COMPRESSOR AND BRAKES.

YOU FEEL THE CAR PULLING AND JERKING. THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WE HAD THE CODE CHECKED AND IT WAS P1778 - TRANSMISSION REVERSE I/P CIRCUIT. IT APPEARS TO DO THIS ON LONGER TRIPS OUT ON THE HIGHWAY AND NOT AS MUCH AROUND TOWN.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
ON APRIL 26, 2019 WHEN MAKING A LEFT TURN THE CAR DID NOT ACCELERATE AS I ENTERED INTO TRAFFIC AND INSTEAD LOST POWER AND WOULD GO NO MORE THAN 9 MPH AS I APPLIED MAXIMUM PRESSURE TO THE GAS PEDAL. AT THE SAME TIME THE CAR BECAME HARD TO STEER AND I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF ONTO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I IMMEDIATELY TURNED OFF THE CAR AND RESTARTED IT. THE CAR STARTED BUT WITHOUT POWER TO ACCELERATE AND I SHUT DOWN THE VEHICLE AGAIN. I WAITED AND RESTARTED A FEW MORE TIMES AND IT EVENTUALLY RESTARTED. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE AND THEY PERFORMED A RECALL. THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN ON MAY 9, 2019 AND AGAIN ON MAY 17, 2019. THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY LOSES THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE WHILE AND HAS SO LITTLE POWER THAT THE MAX SPEED IS LESS THEN 10MPH. THE VEHICLE IS ALWAYS IN MOTION HAPPENS.
